A few publishers actually state "First Edition" or "First Printing" right on the copyright page (Knopf, Random House, Norton, St. Martin's Press). If only it were always that simple!\n\nMost publishers just give the copyright date or use number sequences, generally ascending or descending number rows, such as 12345678910 or 10987654321. A typical example of this is Houghton Mifflin, which generally now has 10987654321 on the copyright page. For the second printing, the "1" will be dropped, for the third, the "2". A fourth printing will have "10987654". As of the second printing, Houghton Mifflin also drops the year from the bottom of the title page (not all publishers do this, but Houghton Mifflin is especially known for this practice).\n\nSome publishers also use odd-even ascending and decending rows, such as 135798642 and 246897531. Some publishers have nothing but the date. Some use unique systems, and many have changed their systems over time. Random House uses the following system: They have the number row 98765432 and the words "First edition". Their system is unusual in that it doesn't use a "1": it's almost as though the "1" were replaced by the words "First edition", because when the words "first edition" are lacking, it's a second printing. Lately, Random House has been using the ascending-descending system a lot, such as "24689753". It still needs to state "First edition", however, - and, if those 2 words are missing, it's not a first printing.\n\nWe welcome questions about particular books you may have, and will answer them as soon as we can.

Well, assuming you can place one book on a shelf in 6 different positions -\nstanding upright with binding out\nstanding upright with pages out\nstanding on binding\nstanding on pages\nlaying on front cover\nlaying on back cover\n\nNow if you start arranging the 6 books in the many different arrangements described above you will get tired before you get them all.  There is a mathematical formula for determining the many different arrangements.  It is called a factorial.\n\nTherefore:\n6 books x 6 positions arranged in different orders =\n\n36! (thirty six factorial)=\n\n36x35x34x33...  =\n\n3.71993326789 e+41\n\n***********\nor if you don't assume that a book can be placed in 6 different positions, you get\n\n6! = 720

This is because binary nature as you cannot say 10 as "ten", you have to spell it as "one zero" to be literally correct. "one zero" obviously gives out the joke, so this joke is only supposed to be a written joke and you can only use 10 not ten

Page is usually abbreviated to 'p', hence more than one page is 'pp'\nas in p.1 and pp 10 - 16.\n\nAlso 'f' stands for 'folio', meaning a folded sheet, which usually means a number of pages, depending on the way the book is bound. 'ff' stands for 'folios'.\n\nShakespeare's 'First Folio' refers to a book where the sheets were folded once to make four pages to a sheet before being bound. 'Quarto' means folded into four (eight pages, double sided). For the binder's use, a number was often printed on the sheet so that he could see what order to bind the book in. This is called the folio number, so the first 16 pages of a quarto book would be called ff 1 - 2 or pp 1 - 16.

Mode is the number that appears most frequently is a set of sample data:\n\nTake the following set of test scores:\n35, 40, 60, 80, 80, 90, 90, 90, 100\nThe mode is 90.\n\nHere's the number of chocolate chips found each each cookie:\n5, 0, 2, 4, 4, 5, 3, 1, 1, 2, 5\nThe mode is 5\n\nHere's the number of points I've gotten on various questions here on Yahoo answers:\n2, 2, 10, 10, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 10, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2\nAs much as I would like the mode to be 10, it is actually 2\n\nHope that helps!\n\nBy the way, mean is the average and median is the number that would fall in the middle of the sequence if you ordered them in ascending order, in case you need to know those definitions also.  I'll leave figuring the mean and median of the examples above to the reader...

It's number 15.\n\nBy definition, a composite number is a positive integer  which is not prime (i.e., which has factors other than 1 and itself). \n\nTherefore, the first few composite numbers (sometimes called "composites" for short) are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, ... They're the numbers with factors other than one and itself. \n\n2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ... are not included in the set because their factors are limited to only the number 1 and theirselves. That's why they are prime numbers.\n\nNote that by strict interpretation, it's impossible to determine the highest composite numbers since there are an infinite number of composite numbers. I just started from the smallest composite number and counted eight slots upwards.\n\nAlso note that the number 1 is a special case which is considered to be neither composite nor prime. That's why I haven't included 1 in the 8th.
