The harmonic mean is the special case of the power mean and is one of the Pythagorean means. In older literature, it is sometimes called the subcontrary mean. The volume-to-surface area ratio for a cylindrical container with height and radius and the mean curvature of a general surface are related to the harmonic mean.
The name SMITH is probably the most common of all surnames. The only names that give it any competition for this title would be Jones and Johnson. The most widely accepted derivation of the name is from the Anglo-Saxon SMITAN and the Germanic verb âSmioanâ meaning to smite or strike.
well my last name is smith and my dad told me and i learnt at school that it would come from blacksmith...goldsmith...sliversmith, basicsally any1 who worked with metals. As the sons and daughters of these people would be called...the blacksmiths son or the goldsmiths daughter. I think this is where the name came from.
