Lattice multiplication, also known as gelosia multiplication, sieve multiplication, shabakh, Venetian squares, or the Hindu lattice, is a method of multiplication that uses a lattice to multiply two multi-digit numbers. It is algorithmically the same as regular long multiplication, but it breaks the process into smaller steps, which some practitioners find easier to use.
The method had already arisen by medieval times, and has been used for centuries in many different cultures. It is still being taught in certain curricula today.
Description
A grid is drawn up, and each box is split diagonally. The first and second numbers are positioned along the top and right of the lattice respectively, with each digit being above a column, or next to a row. Simple products are written in each box, corresponding with numbers along the top and to the right of each box. For example, if the number above the box is 3, and the number to the right is 6, [1/8] (for 18) will be written in the box. If the simple product lacks a tens place, simply fill in the tens place with a 0.1
After all the boxes are filled in this manner, the diagonals are added from right to left, bottom to top, with the numbers added and written where the diagonal leads. When the sum contains more than one digit, the value of the tens place is carried over up to the next diagonal. Numbers are filled to the left and to the bottom of the grid, and the answer is the numbers read off down (on the left) and across (on the bottom).
Multiplication of Decimals
The lattice technique can also be used to multiply decimal fractions. For instance, to multiply 5.8 by 2.13, a line could be drawn straight down from the decimal in 5.8, and a line straight out from the decimal in 2.13. The lines are extended until they reach each other, at which point they merge and follow the diagonal. The positioning of this diagonal line in the final result is the location of the decimal point.
History
Lattice multiplication has been used historically in many different cultures. It is not known where it arose first, nor whether it developed independently within more than one region of the world. The earliest recorded use of lattice multiplication:
- in Arab mathematics was by Ibn al-Banna' al-Marrakushi in his Talkhi? a‘mal al-?isab, in the Maghreb in the late 13th century
- in European mathematics was by the unknown author of a Latin treatise in England, Tractatus de minutis philosophicis et vulgaribus, c. 1300
- in Chinese mathematics was by Wu Jing in his Jiuzhang suanfa bilei daquan, completed in 1450.
The mathematician and educator David Eugene Smith asserted that lattice multiplication was brought to Italy from the Middle East. This is reinforced by noting that the Arabic term for the method, shabakh, has the same meaning as the Italian term for the method, gelosia, namely, the metal grille or grating (lattice) for a window.
It is sometimes erroneously stated that lattice multiplication was described by Mu?ammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (Baghdad, c. 825) or by Fibonacci in his Liber Abaci (Italy, 1202, 1228). In fact, however, no use of lattice multiplication by either of these two authors has been found. In Chapter 3 of his Liber Abaci, Fibonacci does describe a related technique of multiplication by what he termed quadrilatero in forma scacherii (“rectangle in the form of a chessboard”). In this technique, the square cells are not subdivided diagonally; only the lowest-order digit is written in each cell, while any higher-order digit must be remembered or recorded elsewhere and then "carried” to be added to the next cell. This is in contrast to lattice multiplication, a distinctive feature of which is that the each cell of the rectangle has its own correct place for the carry digit; this also implies that the cells can be filled in any order desired. Swetz compares and contrasts multiplication by gelosia (lattice), by scacherii (chessboard), and other tableau methods.
Other notable historical uses of lattice multiplication include
- Jamshid al-Kashi’s Mifta? al-?isab (Samarqand, 1427), in which the numerals used are sexagesimal (base 60), and the grid is turned 45 degrees to a “diamond” orientation
- the Arte dell’Abbaco, an anonymous text published in the Venetian dialect in 1478, often called the Treviso Arithmetic because it was printed in Treviso, just inland from Venice, Italy
- Luca Pacioli’s Summa de arithmetica (Venice, 1494)
- the Indian astronomer Ga?esa’s commentary on Bhaskara II’s Lilavati (16th century).
Derivatives
Derivations of this method also appeared in the 16th century in Matrakci Nasuh's Umdet-ul Hisab. Matrakçi Nasuh's triangular version of the multiplication technique is seen in the example showing 155 x 525 on the right, and explained in the example showing 236 x 175 on the left figure.
its a Rabbit Hole Maze with no end..The WHOLE Ball of Wax..
Nothing Adds up.. Makes for a good bed time story but never an investment..

What is the PPS Speculation over the next 6 months?
and you think the can do one giant leap from their current exchange to the Big Board?
oh Dorothy..thats very expensive and not anything to hang a hat on let along a wallet..
Just Sayin Dorothy..
wishful thinkn but .. its Triple 05 Dorothy, Aint' gonna HappeN.. Ever...
not true Doris..Companies do it to themselves..look it up..
"Bashers: Paid by that vindictive organization to crush the PPS after a suspension."
English is a funny language.. a fat chance and a slim chance mean the same thing..
nice chart thx 4 the post!
did you see that Chart? wow!
just like to check in on some of these POS stocks every now and then..
An Elephant Never Forgets..
what about the other CEO what's his name, the one that issued Certs and continued the sham?
so it finally died eh?
good

Historical Look:
"One last thing, since Oct 25th 2006, when the update of 1.3bil o/s and 1.75bil AS was provided to pinksheets.com, we have traded over 850mil shares...I would venture to say that the AS is probably maxed out by now, so if the volume continues as 40-50mil per day, I would have to really question whether the AS has been raised beyond 1.75bil shares. I will bet the OS is probably near that now. That's my guess. The trading volume since OCT 25th certainly tells us that 100's of millions more have been most likely added to the float. Good day all!"
take a look at the chart now!
for arguments sake, ...- chin up amigo, sit up straight..
what does that mean? even if they acquired those properties doesn't mean anything in the next few quarters. What is the speculation and based on what revenue projections..
I MEAN really whats the point even discussing this stock?
Who in their right mind with all that has happened and they way it happened and the grey sheets would even consider one dime towards this venture...
People need a reason with some sort of solid basis..
WTF IS THE BASIS FOR THIS?
GET BUSY AND EARN IT PAL!
well that about covers 95% of the boards on this site..
too funny..
not with all of the same shareholders.. NMCX was pumped by a separate group and furlong didn't finish up.. it was that other jerk off, you know his name..
this is how this crap gets started..
it's like it was done on purpose so everyone will come running with the right answers..
looks like a pre loaded pump via head fake DD with a pinch of salt..
oh but wait!! buy in the next 15 minutes and get 2 free steak knives..
0001 shows up.. must not be a good signal for shareholders..is that where the price is headed??
thank you, I look forward to reading it.
please note I have no "question" per se.
When I post something it doesn't mean I agree with it or have even taken a position on it. Maybe I just want your opinion on it because I have no opinion. I just observe and have little control over the economy, the government and what they do with our tax dollars. I just vote, pay and cross my fingers that its enough to pave the road to the grocery store and it's getting bumpy just to take a short ride..
on the side of the road. no author, don't know who originated it.
it wasn't an inspiration but it does make one wonder.
the content of the subject is more important than where it originated.
think about it.
We are in a hole aren't we?
Just sayin..
don't have a link, read it on a sign..
and so forth and so on..
in order to sell stocks short, the seller must arrange for a broker-dealer to confirm that it is able to make delivery of the shorted securities. This is referred to as a "locate.” Brokers have a variety of means to borrow stocks in order to facilitate locates and make good delivery of the shorted security.
The vast majority of stocks borrowed by U.S. brokers come from loans made by the leading custody banks and fund management companies (see list below). Institutions often lend out their shares in order to earn a little extra money on their investments. These institutional loans are usually arranged by the custodian who holds the securities for the institution. In an institutional stock loan, the borrower puts up cash collateral, typically 102% of the value of the stock. The cash collateral is then invested by the lender, who often rebates part of the interest to the borrower. The interest that is kept by the lender is the compensation to the lender for the stock loan.
Brokerage firms can also borrow stocks from the accounts of their own customers. Typical margin account agreements give brokerage firms the right to borrow customer shares without notifying the customer. In general, brokerage accounts are only allowed to lend shares from accounts for which customers have "debit balances", meaning they have borrowed from the account. SEC Rule 15c3-3 imposes such severe restrictions on the lending of shares from cash accounts or excess margin (fully paid for) shares from margin accounts that most brokerage firms do not bother except in rare circumstances. (These restrictions include that the broker must have the express permission of the customer and provide collateral or a letter of credit.)
Most brokers will allow retail customers to borrow shares to short a stock only if one of their own customers has purchased the stock on margin. Brokers will go through the "locate" process outside their own firm to obtain borrowed shares from other brokers only for their large institutional customers.
Stock exchanges such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ typically report the "short interest" of a stock, which gives the number of shares that have been legally sold short as a percent of the total float. Alternatively, these can also be expressed as the short interest ratio, which is the number of shares legally sold short as a multiple of the average daily volume. These can be useful tools to spot trends in stock price movements but in order to be reliable, investors must also ascertain the number of shares brought into existence by naked shorters. Speculators are cautioned to remember that for every share that has been shorted (owned by a new owner), a 'shadow owner' exists (i.e. the original owner) who also is part of the universe of owners of that stock, i.e. Despite not having any voting rights, he has not relinquished his interest and some rights in that stock.
F6 below is a read I came across, thought you might like..
"DEAR MR PRESIDENT & CONGRESS, LAST YEAR I MISMANAGED MY FUNDS & THIS YEAR I CANNOT DECIDE ON A BUDGET. UNTIL I HAVE COME TO A UNIFIED DECISION THAT FITS ALL OF MY NEEDS & INTERESTS, I WILL HAVE TO SHUT DOWN MY CHECKBOOK & WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PAY MY TAXES. I'M SURE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU FOR SETTING AN EXAMPLE WE CAN ALL FOLLOW."
and they will keep doing it until it is reported.
See Terms of Service, its in there somewhere..
Competitors should not be advertising on a competitors board..
this came several years ago as I recall with another stock specific board ( falls under Off topic and other )
imo
first one needs to know the supply and the demand.. need to define the values..econ 102a
A Buck a Piece and there is still profit..
Not a Dime more..
Already the industry comes out greedy and gauging the consumer..
now thats a problem, they can join the ranks of Gasoline companies and government..
inflation for a new product..not a good thing..
I am not as think as you I stoned I am..
NEWS? Is there News pending? WHO IS GOING TO RELEASE NEWS? How in the hell does ANYONE Know what news is going to be released..
There is a lot of unanswered questions floating around.. (did I say float).. no punn intended..
News at 11
because of what the reaction by the buyers and sellers will be.
Not to be confused with the good intentions of the company.
Only the quick survive, its like gun smoke with the small company does a reverse split, down for 3 days, new tick and SS and then the dump by shareholders and then the slide downwards..
now if there is an uplisting to a higher exchange then the company better be prepared to have its house in order to meet on time filings and proper timely disclosures.. Those that do not do it correctly and make mistakes will cause further damage to the PPS..
jmho from experience..pinkly speaking..oH ya don't forget upward earnings reports quarterly.. STARTING yesterday
a no Rent Planet ! No Money either !
its expensive and it doesn't always prove good for the stock especially if they do an R/S and uplist double Whammy..
Watch out for IN YOUR EAR..(baseball term)
