What math authors want to tell their local and foreign publishers in Singapore to cease using their content sans their permission in their sample chapters they submit to tender local and foreign projects; to pay them their due royalty when they sell their copyrights at book fairs; and not to rob them, by unscrupulously replacing their names with foreign ones when their textbooks are tailor-made for developing markets.

If a radian is defined as the angle formed by an arc length of a circle subtended at the center that is equal to its radius, then there are 2π radians, or 2π radii, that fit around the circumference of the circle. In other words, 360° equals 2π radians, or one radian is 180°/π, which is about 57.3°.

Get the The Weak-end Effectmug. The spiritual antidote to being protected from Covid-19—with reference to Psalm 91 in the Bible, which believers faithfully use as an effective prayer of protection against any plague or pestilence that confronts them.
Christians know that Covid-91 is no match to any man-made antibodies or vaccines in protecting them against Covid-19, because whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and that He is their refuge and their fortress and will save them from any deadly pestilence.
