Ptolemy's Almagest is the only surviving comprehensive ancient treatise on astronomy Babylonian astronomers had developed arithmetical techniques for calculating astronomical phenomena; Greek astronomers such as Hipparchus had produced geometric models for calculating celestial motions Ptolemy however claimed to have derived his geometrical models from selected astronomical observations by his predecessors spanning more than 800 years though astronomers have for centuries suspected that his models' parameters were adopted independently of observations. Ptolemy presented his astronomical models in convenient tables which could be used to compute the future or past position of the planets the Almagest also contains a star catalogue which is a version of a catalogue created by Hipparchus Its list of forty-eight constellations is ancestral to the modern system of constellations but unlike the modern system they did not cover the whole sky (only the sky Hipparchus could see) Across Europe the Middle East and North Africa in the Medieval period it was the authoritative text on astronomy with its author becoming an almost mythical figure called Ptolemy King of Alexandria the Almagest was preserved like most of extant Classical Greek science in Arabic manuscripts (hence its familiar name) Because of its reputation it was widely sought and was translated twice into Latin in the 12th century once in Sicily and again in Spain. Ptolemy's model like those of his predecessors was geocentric and was almost universally accepted until the appearance of simpler heliocentric models during the scientific revolution, These early studies were revised and combined by the IEA to create TIMSS which was first administered in 1995 It was the largest international student assessment study of its time and evaluated students in five grades In the second cycle (1999) only eighth-grade students were tested In the next cycles (2003 2007 2011 and 2015) both 4th and 8th grade students were assessed The 2011 cycle was performed in the same year as the IEA's Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) offering a comprehensive assessment of mathematics science and reading for the countries participating in both studies The sixth cycle was conducted in 2015 and the results were released in 2016; the data set was published in February 2017 TIMSS 2015 included data collected from parents for the first time. TIMSS Advanced previously conducted in 1995 and 2008 was also conducted in 2015 and assessed final-year secondary students' achievement in advanced mathematics and physics Policy-relevant data about curriculum emphasis technology use and teacher preparation and training accompanies the TIMSS Advanced results, Main article: List of movie theatre operators in Singapore. The companies listed on SGX belong to one of two groups: the companies listed on the SGX Mainboard and the companies listed on SGX SESDAQ In order to be listed on the mainboard a company has to fulfill some requirements set forth by SGX while a listing on SESDAQ is not tied to the fulfillment of any additional conditions. SESDAQ was replaced on 26 November 2007 by the SGX Catalist after an extensive study of other market models and a public consultation in May 2007 the word "Catalist" is an amalgamation of the words "Catalyst" and "List" to reflect the idea that the Catalist board could be used as a catalyst to propel growth upon listing. Catalist differs from SESDAQ primarily in its use of a sponsor system to determine a prospective company's suitability to list and as a corporate advisor to advise on listing and corporate governance issues, Government initiatives Ptolemy's other main work is his Geography (also called the Geographia) a compilation of geographical coordinates of the part of the world known to the Roman Empire during his time He relied somewhat on the work of an earlier geographer Marinos of Tyre and on gazetteers of the Roman and ancient Persian Empire.[citation needed] He also acknowledged ancient astronomer Hipparchus for having provided the elevation of the north celestial pole for a few cities. 3 Interlude in England Ratio of students to teaching staff (Secondary) 11.6 pupils (2017).
