Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes. Using names has been documented in even the oldest historical records. Examples of surnames are documented in the 11th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cahen's Constant
In mathematics, Cahen's constant is defined as the value of an infinite series of unit fractions with alternating signs: :C = \sum_^\infty \frac=\frac11 - \frac12 + \frac16 - \frac1 + \frac1 - \cdots\approx 0.64341054629. Here (s_i)_ denotes Sylvester's sequence, which is defined recursively by :\begin s_0~~~ = 2; \\ s_ = 1 + \prod_^i s_j \text i \geq 0. \end Combining these fractions in pairs leads to an alternative expansion of Cahen's constant as a series of positive unit fractions formed from the terms in even positions of Sylvester's sequence. This series for Cahen's constant forms its greedy Egyptian expansion: :C = \sum\frac=\frac12+\frac17+\frac1+\frac1+\cdots This constant is named after Eugène Cahen (also known for the Cahen–Mellin integral), who was the first to introduce it and prove its irrationality. Continued fraction expansion The majority of naturally occurring mathematical constants have no known simple patterns in their continued fraction expansions. Nevert ...

Cahen–Mellin Integral
In mathematics, the Mellin transform is an integral transform that may be regarded as the multiplicative group, multiplicative version of the two-sided Laplace transform. This integral transform is closely connected to the theory of Dirichlet series, and is often used in number theory, mathematical statistics, and the theory of asymptotic expansions; it is closely related to the Laplace transform and the Fourier transform, and the theory of the gamma function and allied special functions. The Mellin transform of a function is :\left\(s) = \varphi(s)=\int_0^\infty x^ f(x) \, dx. The inverse transform is :\left\(x) = f(x)=\frac \int_^ x^ \varphi(s)\, ds. The notation implies this is a line integral taken over a vertical line in the complex plane, whose real part ''c'' need only satisfy a mild lower bound. Conditions under which this inversion is valid are given in the Mellin inversion theorem. The transform is named after the Finland, Finnish mathematician Hjalmar Mellin, who int ...

Louis Cahen D'Anvers
Count Louis Raphaël Cahen d'Anvers (24 May 1837 – 20 December 1922) was a French banker.

Cohen (surname)
Cohen ( he, כֹּהֵן, ''kōhēn'', "priest") is a surname of Jewish, Samaritan and biblical origins (see: Kohen). It is a very common Jewish surname (the most common in Israel), and the following information discusses only that origin. Cohen is one of the four Samaritan last names that exist in the modern day. Many Jewish immigrants entering the United States or United Kingdom changed their name from Cohen to Cowan (sometimes spelled "Cowen"), as Cowan was a Scottish name. The name "Cohen" is also used as a given name. Origin Bearing the surname often (although not always) indicates that one's patrilineal ancestors were priests in the Temple of Jerusalem. A single such priest was known as a Kohen, and the hereditary caste descending from these priests is collectively known as the Kohanim. As multiple languages were acquired through the Jewish diaspora, the surname acquired dozens of variants. Not all persons with related surnames are kohanim, and not all kohanim have related ...

Kohen
Kohen ( he, , ''kōhēn'', , "priest", pl. , ''kōhănīm'', , "priests") is the Hebrew word for "priest", used in reference to the Aaronic priesthood, also called Aaronites or Aaronides. Levitical priests or ''kohanim'' are traditionally believed and halakhically required to be of direct patrilineal descent from the biblical Aaron (also ''Aharon''), brother of Moses. During the existence of the Temple in Jerusalem, ''kohanim'' performed the daily and holiday (Yom Tov) duties of korban, sacrificial offerings. Today, ''kohanim'' retain a lesser though distinct status within Rabbinic and Karaite Judaism and are bound by additional restrictions according to Orthodox Judaism. In the Samaritan community, the kohanim have remained the primary religious leaders. Ethiopian Jewish religious leaders are sometimes called ''kahen'', a form of the same word, but the position is not hereditary and their duties are more like those of rabbis than kohanim in most Jewish communities.
