In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus |x| of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. Namely, |x| = x for a positive x, |x| = −x for a negative x (in which case −x is positive), and |0| = 0. For example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of −3 is also 3. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero.
Generalisations of the absolute value for real numbers occur in a wide variety of mathematical settings. For example, an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields and vector spaces. The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts.
In 1806, Jean-Robert Argand introduced the term module, meaning unit of measure in French, specifically for the complex absolute value, and it was borrowed into English in 1866 as the Latin equivalent modulus. The term absolute value has been used in this sense from at least 1806 in French and 1857 in English. The notation |x|, with a vertical bar on each side, was introduced by Karl Weierstrass in 1841. Other names for absolute value include numerical value and magnitude.
Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with the aim of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.
The founder of the organization, Salman Khan, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States to immigrant parents from Bangladesh and India. After earning three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MEng in electrical engineering and computer science), he pursued an MBA from Harvard Business School.
In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia who needed help with math using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided that it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. The videos' popularity and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time.

Absolute may refer to:
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary education or higher learning, research, or honorary membership. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece.
Before Akademia was a school, and even before Cimon enclosed its precincts with a wall, it contained a sacred grove of olive trees dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, outside the city walls of ancient Athens. The archaic name for the site was Hekademia, which by classical times evolved into Akademia and was explained, at least as early as the beginning of the 6th century BC, by linking it to an Athenian hero, a legendary "Akademos". The site of Akademia was sacred to Athena and other immortals.
Plato's immediate successors as "scholarch" of Akademia were Speusippus (347–339 BC), Xenocrates (339–314 BC), Polemon (314–269 BC), Crates (ca. 269–266 BC), and Arcesilaus (ca. 266–240 BC). Later scholarchs include Lacydes of Cyrene, Carneades, Clitomachus, and Philo of Larissa ("the last undisputed head of the Academy"). Other notable members of Akademia include Aristotle, Heraclides Ponticus, Eudoxus of Cnidus, Philip of Opus, Crantor, and Antiochus of Ascalon.

I created this video for the “Dance Your PhD” competition sponsored by Science and TEDxBrussels, which was a perfect excuse for me to combine two of my great passions: mathematics and dance. My area of research is complex dynamics. Now most of you probably don’t know what this is. Or maybe complex dynamics means something different to you than to me. So let me explain what this means in the math world. First of all, what are the dynamics of a map? Well, consider the map x → x^2 on the real line. The dynamics are how points on the real line behave upon repeated application of this map. For instance: 0 → 0^2 = 0 → . . . → 0 ½ → ¼ → 1/16 → . . . moves towards 0 ±1 → 1 → . . . → 1 2 → 4 → 16 → . . . moves towards infinity From this we can see that under rep...
English Speech with Korean Translation Words of Scriptures: One Truth, Many Paths Passages from diverse scriptures affirm that religions that do not share the faith of that scripture nevertheless contain elements of Truth. They affirm that all genuine religions worship the same God. Thus, the Qur’an affirms that Jews and Christians are People of the Book who worship the same God as the God of Muhammad. The Sikh scriptures affirm that there is one God for Muslims and Hindus. A Shinto text affirms that the chief Shinto deity is essentially the same as the Buddha. Further, scriptures affirm that each religion is a path to the same Supreme Goal. Here we have the famous images of many rivers flowing into the same ocean or a mountain with many paths leading up to the same summit. The religions...

[Verse 1: Akrobatik]
I'm a hit with you a right, left, right, left, you're toothless
Akrobatik's ruthless, longevity proves this, Boston, Massachusetts
Representative, that was sent to give
All you sensitive, rap critics (uh) or eat a fat di-dick (what?)
And a side of sack with it
Cause your playlist need more Ak in it
Fat beats and lyrics, A to the K's packin it
Passionate, that's how I stay accurate
Mastered this, flow that be enticin many bachelorettes
Got the brothers wildin in the crowd like they had Tourette's
Mad cassettes contain my freestyles from back in '95 (woo)
Check the archives, I bet you find me live (uh, uh)
From way back, dope since "Real Da Real" and "Adat"
Born the same day as that cat that wrote "The Big Payback"
So all my nigs lay back and just bang this (uh), wrath of my anguish
So nice that I should own the fuckin language
Rap is goin through some whack changes, yo
[Chorus: Akrobatik]
But I don't know what all of that's about
And all of that's about to change once Ak come out
And yo, them whack CD's you passin out
They 'bout to be worth jack once Ak come out
Yeah, nobody got shit to rap about
But all of that's about to change once Ak come out
Yo, and I know what y'all are askin 'bout
Where's that "Absolute Value" from Ak? (Ak, hey, yo)
[Verse 2: Akrobatik]
I'm 'bout to blow up the scene (uh) [sound of an explosion]
With shit sick enough to make you throw up your greens (greens)
Call Ak the "Big Dig, " he tore up The Bean (Bean)
With that downtown Boogie Brown, "you know what I mean? " (uh)
Fuck your dreams, I'm takin out the supreme member of this new rap dream team (team)
That heat it up like kerosene ('sene), skills previously never seen (seen)
Lungs evergreen (green), eight year career still buildin hella steam (haha)
This the groove that made Stella dream (dream)
Decapitatin the whack like helicopter propellers, SEEN (seen)
But not heard, it's not my style, fuck a image
I'd rather have a dope LP from start to finish (true dat)
And many MC's ain't reachin for their darker limits (uh)
Got the accessories but all the other parts diminished
And some of them still be pushin up monster digits (right)
Lowest common deminator, cats want that shit-it (AH)
But yo
[Chorus: Akrobatik]
I don't know what all of that's about
But all of that's about to change once Ak come out
Yo, them whack CD's you passin out
They 'bout to be worth jack once Ak come out
Yeah, nobody got shit to rap about
But all of that's about to change once Ak come out
Yeah (uh), I know what y'all are askin 'bout
Where's that brand new hot shit from Ak? (yeah)
[Outro: Akrobatik - talking]
(Uh), let it bump, yeah
J-Zizzle
