Yes, that is the standard symbol for the "third", one-sixtieth of a second. For the Earth to travel 359° 45' 40" 31''' in one year, instead of 360° does mean that what definition of the year he is using is important. 365 days is also 0.999336878... tropical years; so that's even more likely to be that to which he was referring. So the figures given are the motions of the planets in tropical coordinates over a period of 365 days (in sexagesimal notation). The answer to your original question. John Savard |

What Christian prayer are you talking about? Can you translate? "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name..." Haw Haw! (Nelson pointing at Bart.) A very poor translation. You are just quoting something that was written over a thousand years ago. Let me tell you something about modern day spoken English. The most likely translation is, "Our Father, who is in the sky, sacred is your name." ... but still, you have a misspelled word, the one for 'hallowed'... I already pointed out that my spell checker is no good in Latin. My point was, that although I was required to take Latin in high school, the university I attended did not require it for admission, nor did any of the schools to which I applied, including any of the University of California campuses, or Stanford, or USC, and there were others that I don't recall. I just believe that your Latin teacher was wrong when he said that Latin was 'required' to go to college, that's all. Well my Latin teacher, and my guidance counselor told us that most colleges required Latin. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |

Our Father Who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name is rather obvious enough. Just a quotation that you memorized. In today's English it would be quite different.

When your Latin teacher and your guidance counselor went to college, this may have been true.

Certainly, none of the most prestigious colleges require Latin, nor have for a long time. Why don't you share with us the name of your prestigious high school, your prestigious college where you got your prestigious math degree? |

Where a person was educated is not generally seen as sensitive information. People who actually attended prestigious colleges are rightfully proud of their accomplishment. Unless, of course, you went to Podunk High School in South Carolina and Liberty "University" for "higher" education. That would be pretty embarrassing (and would explain a lot). |
