If local node number \(r\) is not on the boundary of the element, take \({\varphi}_i(x)\) to be the Lagrange polynomial that is 1 at the local node number \(r\) and zero at all other nodes in the element. On all other elements, \({\varphi}_i=0\).
Capital Surveyed. Tallahassee was surveyed in 1824, and the first house was built that year. Patriotism was shown in naming the streets for Monroe, Adams, Calhoun, other statesmen. A square was named for Greene, of Revolutionary fame, and another for Jackson, while the streets McCarthy, Gadsden, Bronough, and Call were named for members of Jackson's staff.
Coordinates of Tallahassee in decimal degrees. Coordinates of Tallahassee in degrees and decimal minutes. All coordinates are given in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system. WGS 84 is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System). Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth's surface. Coordinates are angular units.
