Abstract:
Giurfa, Marcout, Hilpert, Thevenoy, and Rugani (PNAS, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.22035841192022 ) report the first evidence of spatial representation of quantity in invertebrates. In an exciting and well-controlled series of experiments, the authors present evidence that honeybees, like humans, non-human primates, and birds, represent small quantities on one side of space and large quantities on the other side of space.

Vector Algebra: Graphical Method
We use the laws of geometry to construct resultant vectors, followed by trigonometry to find vector magnitudes and directions. For a geometric construction of the sum of two vectors in a plane, we follow the parallelogram rule. Suppose two vectors are at arbitrary positions. Translate either one of...
Geometric Mean
In cases of multiplicative data, the geometric mean is used for statistical analysis. First, the product of all the elements is taken. Then, if there are n elements in the...
