One

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

simple:One

One (1) is the natural number following zero and preceding two. It represents a single entity. One is sometimes referred to as unity. The Roman numeral for one is I.

For any number x:

Using ordinary addition, we have 1+1=2; depending on the interpretation of the symbol "+" and the numeral system used, the expression can have many different values, listed at One_plus_one.

One cannot be used as the base of a positional numeral system in the ordinary way. Sometimes tallying is referred to as "base 1", since only one mark (the tally) is needed, but this doesn't work in the same way as other positional numeral systems. Related to this, one cannot take logarithms with base 1 (same as one cannot divide by zero, since logn x is loge x / loge n, and log 1 = 0).

In the Von Neumann representation of natural numbers, 1 is defined as the set {0}. This set has cardinality 1 and hereditary rank 1. Sets like this with a single element are called singletonss.

In a multiplicative group or monoid, the identity element is sometimes called 1, but e is more traditional. However, 1 is especially common for the multiplicative identity of a ring.

One is not always thought of as a number, although (unlike zero) it has been accepted as such since antiquity. Reflecting this, many languages retain a distinction between singular and plural forms of a noun, the former reserved for the case when only one object is being referred to.

Many human cultures have given the concept of one-ness symbolic meanings:

Something is unique if it is the only one of its kind. More loosely and exaggeratingly (especially in advertising) the term is used for something very special.

In july of that year they released their first single and their first album came in october. At the end of 2001, Cypriot television asked them to be their participant in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. They said yes and Georges Theofanous wrote the song "Gimme" especially for the occasion. After they reached a 6th place they became really famous in both Cyprus and Greece. One consisted of Constantinos Christophorou, Demetres Koutsavlakis, Philippos Constantinos, Argyris Nastopoulos and Panos Tserpes. In 2003 Constantinos Christophorou left the group.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

EXCEPTION, n. A thing which takes the liberty to differ from other things of its class, as an honest man, a truthful woman, etc. "The exception proves the rule" is an expression constantly upon the lips of the ignorant, who parrot it from one another with never a thought of its absurdity. In the Latin, "Exceptio probat regulam" means that the exception tests the rule, puts it to the proof, not confirms it. The malefactor who drew the meaning from this excellent dictum and substituted a contrary one of his own exerted an evil power which appears to be immortal.
