The entire civilized world uses the same calendar whose years are based on "Before Christ" and "After Christ", yes. Even though this is a Christian calendar, all of the non-Christian world has adopted it as a matter of convenience to have the same year everywhere. It is 2011 AD throughout the world.
Some people think that "AD" is offensive because it means "Anno Domini", a Latin phrase for "in the year of the Lord", so they use "CE" (Common Era) in place of "AD".
58 years are between 30 BC and AD 30. The first thing you need to remember is that there is no year 0; the year before AD 1 is 1 BC. So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years
BC = Before Christ. AD = Anno Domini (latin) the year of Christ's birth.
Very rarely. Most dates are simply assumed to be AD - unless there is a need to distinguish between AD and BC.
To calculate the years between 500 BC and AD 500, you add the years in BC to the years in AD. There are 500 years from 500 BC to 1 BC and another 500 years from AD 1 to AD 500. Therefore, the total is 500 + 500 = 1000 years.
Yes. The simple answer is that rational fractions are infinitely dense. A longer proof follows:Suppose you have two fractions a/b and c/d where a, b, c and d are integers and b, d are positive integers.Without loss of generality, assume a/b < c/d.The inequality implies that ad < bc so that bc-ad>0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (I)Consider (ad + bc)/(2bd)Then (ad+bc)/2bd - a/b = (ad+bc)/2bd - 2ad/2bd = (bc-ad)/2bdBy definition, b and d are positive so bd is positive and by result (I), the numerator is positive.That is to say, (ad+bc)/2bd - a/b > 0 or (ad+bc)/2bd > a/b.Similarly, by considering c/d - (ad+bc)/2bd is can be shown that c/d > (ad+bc)/2bd.Combining these results,a/b < (ad+bc)/2bd < c/d.
ad=after death bc=before christ this is how i remember it
Dear, my question is regarding the terms BC and AD. When we are not sure of Jesus's birth and death, what does it make sense to use BC and AD?
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
BC : before Christ AD : anno domino
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.

Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
bc comes first because bc stands for before christ
AD
BC is before AD (Before Christ) (After Death)
Ad because bc started after
