What is the method of the trireme?

The trireme was a Greek ship that used 3 vertical rows of rowers to attain naval speeds unheard of in that day- 8-9 mph. A percussion instrument and training would keep the rowers in time- something vital for the amount of oars in a tight space. The trireme would not be rowed by soldiers, but by trained rowers. Even with this extra weight, the boat would still out-perform any other boat out there.


Why a positive number multiply a positive number equals a positive number?

SIMPLIFIED! first of all...... you know that when you add a positive number you advance forward. its like 1+1=2. Its like 1 of you and a clone. You go forward or up in quantity. And so far the forward is up which is 3 then 4 then 5. Its The math that was invented by the Greek and Egyptians. They put forward as the next higher. And positive has higher positive. Its simple place and order of higher value and negatives are of lower value. And multiplication makes higher with higher. Multiplication doesn't make lower unless dealing with negative. But if this was wrong, then the laws of physics will be crazily wrong.

Where did the imaginary numbers come from?

Imaginary numbers are numbers whose square is a negative number. They arose as a means of working with square roots of negative numbers; in fact, the first known mention of a square root of a negative number is a very brief one from a work called Stereometrica. It was written in the 1st century CE by a Greek mathematician, Heron of Alexandria. Imaginary (and thus, complex) numbers were not ever accepted widely, though, until the 1700s, because of the work of Euler and Gauss.
