69-789: Helmold was born near Goslar . He grew up in Holstein , and received his instruction in Brunswick from Gerold, the future bishop of Oldenburg (1139–42). Later he came under the direction of Vicelinus , the Apostle of the Wends , first in the Augustinian monastery of Faldera , afterwards known as Neumünster (1147–53). He became a deacon about 1150, and finally became a parish priest in 1156 at Bosau on Großer Plöner See . At Bishop Gerold's instigation Helmold wrote his Chronica Slavorum ,

138-430: A diagram of a road or roof, or abstract . An application of the mathematical concept is found in the grade or gradient in geography and civil engineering . The steepness , incline, or grade of a line is the absolute value of its slope: greater absolute value indicates a steeper line. The line trend is defined as follows: Special directions are: If two points of a road have altitudes y 1 and y 2 ,

207-408: A 45° rising line has slope m = +1, and a 45° falling line has slope m = −1. Generalizing this, differential calculus defines the slope of a plane curve at a point as the slope of its tangent line at that point. When the curve is approximated by a series of points, the slope of the curve may be approximated by the slope of the secant line between two nearby points. When the curve is given as

276-449: A Holy Roman Emperor. While strongly referring to its great medieval traditions, the city continuously decreased in importance and got into rising indebtedness. When Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stayed at Goslar in 1777, he called it "an Imperial city rotted in and with its privileges". In the winter of 1798, the coldest of the century, the young English poet William Wordsworth stayed in the city. To dispel homesickness he started to write

345-615: A bottled typewritten message dated 26 March 1930 was discovered in the roof of Goslar Cathedral , signed by four roofers, who bemoaned the economic state of the country. The bottle was discovered by a roofer who turned out to be the grandson of one of the signatories, who had been an 18-year-old apprentice in 1930. Goslar's mayor replaced the bottle with a copy of the 1930 message, adding his own confidential message. As of 31 December 2020 there were 50,184 inhabitants in Goslar (including Vienenburg). (count: December 31 of each year) For

414-404: A curve, then the slope given by the above definition, is the slope of a secant line to the curve. For a line, the secant between any two points is the line itself, but this is not the case for any other type of curve. For example, the slope of the secant intersecting y = x at (0,0) and (3,9) is 3. (The slope of the tangent at x = 3 ⁄ 2 is also 3 −  a consequence of

The purpose of this chronicle was to demonstrate how Christianity and the German nationality gradually succeeded in gaining a footing among the Wends, especially in the eastern portion of Holstein. As an eyewitness he gives a clear description in fluent Latin of Vicelinus's missionary labors, of

690-625: A line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m , and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line. This is described by the following equation: (The Greek letter delta , Δ, is commonly used in mathematics to mean "difference" or "change".) Given two points ( x 1 , y 1 ) {\displaystyle (x_{1},y_{1})} and ( x 2 , y 2 ) {\displaystyle (x_{2},y_{2})} ,

966-562: A slope given as a percentage into an angle in degrees and vice versa are: and where angle is in degrees and the trigonometric functions operate in degrees. For example, a slope of 100 % or 1000 ‰ is an angle of 45°. A third way is to give one unit of rise in say 10, 20, 50 or 100 horizontal units, e.g. 1:10. 1:20, 1:50 or 1:100 (or "1 in 10", "1 in 20", etc.) 1:10 is steeper than 1:20. For example, steepness of 20% means 1:5 or an incline with angle 11.3°. Roads and railways have both longitudinal slopes and cross slopes. The concept of

1035-399: A slope is central to differential calculus . For non-linear functions, the rate of change varies along the curve. The derivative of the function at a point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point and is thus equal to the rate of change of the function at that point. If we let Δ x and Δ y be the distances (along the x and y axes, respectively) between two points on

1104-410: Is (−2,4). The derivative of this function is d y ⁄ d x = 2 x . So the slope of the line tangent to y at (−2,4) is 2 ⋅ (−2) = −4 . The equation of this tangent line is: y − 4 = (−4)( x − (−2)) or y = −4 x − 4 . An extension of the idea of angle follows from the difference of slopes.

1518-472: Is the standard deviation of the y-values and s x {\displaystyle s_{x}} is the standard deviation of the x-values. This may also be written as a ratio of covariances : There are two common ways to describe the steepness of a road or railroad . One is by the angle between 0° and 90° (in degrees), and the other is by the slope in a percentage. See also steep grade railway and rack railway . The formulae for converting

1587-461: Is the exact slope of the tangent. If y is dependent on x , then it is sufficient to take the limit where only Δ x approaches zero. Therefore, the slope of the tangent is the limit of Δ y /Δ x as Δ x approaches zero, or d y /d x . We call this limit the derivative . The value of the derivative at a specific point on the function provides us with the slope of the tangent at that precise location. For example, let y = x . A point on this function

2484-406: The mean value theorem .) By moving the two points closer together so that Δ y and Δ x decrease, the secant line more closely approximates a tangent line to the curve, and as such the slope of the secant approaches that of the tangent. Using differential calculus , we can determine the limit , or the value that Δ y /Δ x approaches as Δ y and Δ x get closer to zero ; it follows that this limit

2553-406: The slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes the direction of the line on a plane .

Though a complaint was successfully lodged with the Reichskammergericht by the Goslar citizens, a subsequent gruelling feud with the duke lasted for decades. Goslar was temporarily placed under Imperial ban , while the Protestant Reformation was introduced in the city by theologian Nicolaus von Amsdorf who issued a first church constitution in 1531. To assert independence,

3105-487: The Slavs. Helmold drew his knowledge of the earliest period from the church history of Adam of Bremen and the Saxon records bearing on Henry IV , besides the life of Willehadus , the list of Ansgarius , and perhaps also a life of Vicelinus, but the summaries which he made of these records are unreliable. He is, however, the most important source of information for the history of his own period, his account of which rests on

3174-471: The above equation generates the formula: The formula fails for a vertical line, parallel to the y {\displaystyle y} axis (see Division by zero ), where the slope can be taken as infinite , so the slope of a vertical line is considered undefined.

In 1577 the Goslar citizens signed the Lutheran Formula of Concord . After years of continued skirmishes, they finally had to grant Duke Henry and his son Julius extensive mining rights which ultimately edged out

3450-509: The city council. Nevertheless, several attempts by the Brunswick dukes to incorporate the Imperial city were rejected.
