N is the fourteenth letter in the basic modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ˈɛn/) is spelled en.

History of the forms

One of the most common snake hieroglyph was used in Egyptian writing to stand for a sound like English "J", because the Egyptian word for "snake" was djet. It is speculated that Semitic people working in Egypt adapted hieroglyphics to create the first alphabet, and that they used the same snake symbol to represent N, because their word for "snake" may have begun with that sound. However, the name for the letter in the Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic alphabets is nun, which means "fish" in some of these languages. The sound value of the letter was /n/—as in Greek, Etruscan, Latin and all modern languages.

What is the difference between a 3 antenna wireless-N router and a 2 antenna wireless-N router?
Q. Are the ones with 3 antennas faster? I think wireless-N is capable of 4 antennas. But I haven't seen any for sale anywhere. Have you? If more antennas = more speed. Will the future of wireless networking see routers for sale equipped with several dozen antennas transceiving at different frequencies?

A. More antennae=more simultaneous transfers. That does not necessarily equate to more speed. I think we'll see a move in the silicon chips before we see an increase of antennae. There comes a point when offering more simultaneous transfers offers a diminished return in results. I also predict we will see more efficient antennae, of the type that the commercial products use.

What is point of wireless n 300mbps when cable source is only 15mbps?
Q. My cable company provides me with 15Mbps download speeds. Is there any reason to switch from my wireless g router (54Mbps) to a new wireless n router (300Mbps) when the source is only coming in at 15Mbps? I don't understand the wireless n hype. Please explain.

A. It's only of use if you share files at home, with other computers in your LAN. (Or have a file server/NAS storage). If it's just for internet, it may help just a bit, with better range - giving better surfing speed at a larger distance. The actual throughput for a 54mbps wireless is about 20-24mbps, assuming no interference and good signal. So, if you have a weaker signal, or your router is getting some interference, you may be actually getting less than 15mbps. Check your speed at: www.speedtest.net to verify you are getting 15mbps now. If so, and the internet is the only objective, no point in upgrading unless you do file sharing at home.

How many ways are there to arrange m red balls and n blue balls in a row?
Q. We do not know which is bigger, m or n. The red balls are not distinct, ditto for the blue balls. Meaning that if I swap around two of the red balls, it still counts as the same. I think there is some sort of formula for this, but I have no idea what it is called and how to look for it. I need this method to solve a larger question in a college problem set. It would be awesome if there is some sort of proof, too, though I don't need this for the problem set.

A. The number of different combinations of k items, chosen from p possibilities, is denoted pCk or C(p, k) and can be found by the formula pCk = p! / [(p-k)! k!] In this case, the row contains m+n balls, and we want to know how many ways we can pick the n positions for the blue balls. The unpicked ones will be the red balls. So the number of different arrangements is (m+n)Cn = (m+n)! / (m! n!) Notice that if, instead, we picked the m positions for the red balls and let the unpicked positions be the blue ones, we'd get the same formula. Looking at the problem a different way doesn't change the answer. If you're familiar with the difference between combinations (where order doesn't matter) and permutations (where order does matter, referring… [cont.]
