They traced their origins to settlers who came to Britain from mainland Europe in the 5th century.

Anglo-Saxon identity arose from interaction between incoming groups from several Germanic peoples, Germanic tribes, both amongst themselves, and with Celtic Britons, indigenous Britons. Many of the natives, over time, adopted Anglo-Saxon culture and language and were assimilated. The Anglo-Saxons established the concept, and the Kingdom of England, Kingdom, of England, and though the modern English language owes somewhat less than 26% of its words to their language, this includes the vast majority of words used in everyday speech.

Buckingham π Theorem
In engineering, applied mathematics, and physics, the Buckingham theorem is a key theorem in dimensional analysis. It is a formalization of Rayleigh's method of dimensional analysis. Loosely, the theorem states that if there is a physically meaningful equation involving a certain number ''n'' of physical variables, then the original equation can be rewritten in terms of a set of ''p'' = ''n'' − ''k'' dimensionless parameters 1, 2, ..., ''p'' constructed from the original variables. (Here ''k'' is the number of physical dimensions involved; it is obtained as the rank of a particular matrix.) The theorem provides a method for computing sets of dimensionless parameters from the given variables, or nondimensionalization, even if the form of the equation is still unknown. The Buckingham theorem indicates that validity of the laws of physics does not depend on a specific unit system. A statement of this theorem is that any physical law can be expressed as an identity involvin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
