One half

One half is the irreducible fraction resulting from dividing one by two (12), or the fraction resulting from dividing any number by its double. Multiplication by one half is equivalent to division by two, or halving; conversely, division by one half is equivalent to multiplication by two, or "doubling". One half appears often in mathematical equations, recipes, measurements, etc. Half can also be said to be one part of something divided into two equal parts.

For instance, the area S of a triangle is computed

One half also figures in the formula for calculating figurate numbers, such as triangular numbers and pentagonal numbers:

and in the formula for computing magic constants for magic squares

The Riemann hypothesis states that every nontrivial complex root of the Riemann zeta function has a real part equal to 12.

One half has two different decimal expansions, the familiar 0.5 and the recurring 0.49999999... It has a similar pair of expansions in any even base. It is a common trap to believe these expressions represent distinct numbers: see the proof that 0.999... equals 1 for detailed discussion of a related case. In odd bases, one half has no terminating representation, only a single representation with a repeating fractional component, such as 0.11111111... in ternary.

Eton College

Eton College, often informally referred to simply as Eton, is an English boys' independent boarding school located in Eton, Berkshire, near Windsor. It educates over 1,300 pupils, aged 13 to 18 years. It was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI as "The King's College of Our Lady of Eton besides Wyndsor", making it the 18th oldest Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC) school.

Eton is one of ten English HMC schools, commonly referred to as "public schools", regulated by the Public Schools Act of 1868. Following the public school tradition, Eton is a full boarding school, which means all pupils live at the school, and it is one of four such remaining single-sex boys' public schools in the United Kingdom (the others being Harrow, Radley, and Winchester) to continue this practice. Eton has educated 19 British prime ministers and generations of the aristocracy and has been referred to as the chief nurse of England's statesmen. Charging up to £11,478 per term (there are three terms per academic year) in 2014/15, Eton is the sixth most expensive HMC boarding school in the UK.

    Half

    by: Soraya

    It might take sometime, don't ask why
    some things just happen, in the blink of an eye
    all that we have has a moment's guarantee
    a transient pleasure destined to flee
    Today I will love you, like we've only one night
    today I will give you half of my life.
    Take it with you wherever you go.
    Sit it next to you when you're not feeling whole.
    It comes when it wants, all discretions aside
    just when you find your groove the earth begins to slide
    Today I will love you, like we've only one night
    today I will give you half of my life.
    Take it with you and keep it alive
    treasure this moment, we stole from our lives.
    I can count on my hand what I hold in faith
    this journey is programmed to give and to take
    but I choose to believe and I choose not to be used
    I choose to take the fall and I've chosen you
    Today I will love you, like we've only one night
    today I will give you half of my life
    take it with you wherever you go
    sit it next to you when you're not feeling whole
    Today I will love you, like we've only one night
    today I will give you half of my life.
    Take it with you and keep it alive
    treasure this moment, we stole from our lives.
