have been studied since the early Greek time and maybe even earlier than that. By definition, a perfect number is a positive number where its divisors add up to the number not including the number itself. For example the number six can be divided by one, two, and three. One, two, and three add up to six. The next perfect number is twenty-eight. Its divisors are one, two, four, seven, and fourteen. (Diagram 3) They add up to twenty-eight. All perfect numbers are also triangular (Perfect Numbers). This
Have you ever went on a one-way road and someone is driving slow as a turtle and you are calling them names and words. There are many people who get pissed off because one-way roads are just dumb and stupid to have in a city like Powdersville. According to Suburban Stats, Powdersville is home to 7,618 people and that’s a big number of population in just a little town. You can’t even call Powdersville a town anymore because the population here is like a city. Do you ever go on a one-way road and there
“Class,” I announced, “today I will teach you a simpler method to find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple of a set of numbers.” In fifth grade, my teacher asked if anyone had any other methods to find the greatest common factor of two numbers. I volunteered, and soon the entire class, and teacher, was using my method to solve problems. Teaching my class as a fifth grader inspired me to teach others how important math and science is. These days, I enjoy helping my friends with

1. How do you multiply proper fractions? How do you multiply mixed numbers? 2. How do you divide proper fractions? How do you divide improper fractions? 3. Give an example of how/when you use fractions (including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and or ordering of) in your day to day activities outside of math class. Multiplying proper fractions requires a few steps. The first step will be to multiply the top two numbers also known as the numerators. Second you will multiply the
Euclid was one of the world’s most famous and influential Mathematicians in history. He was born about 365 BC in Alexandria, Egypt, and died about 300 BC. His full name is not known but Euclid means “good glory”. Little was ever written about Euclid and much of the information known are from authors who wrote about his books. He studied in Plato’s ancient school in Athens and later went to Alexandria in Egypt, where he discovered a well-known division of math, known as Geometry. Thus, he was named

A Brief Overview The Dow Jones Industrial Average is one of the most quoted stock market index over the world, with the fluctuations in the index corresponding to the changes in the stock market. Charles Dow was the founder of this index and
understood the idea of primality and were interested in perfect and amicable numbers. A perfect number is one whose proper divisors sum to the number itself. e.g. The number 6 has proper divisors 1, 2 and 3 and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, 28 has divisors 1, 2, 4, 7 and 14 and 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28. A pair of amicable numbers is a pair like 220 and 284 such that the proper divisors of one number sum to the other and vice versa. You can see more about these numbers in the History topics
the number system has its own unique trait? Numbers such as 4 and 9 are considered square numbers because 2 times 2 is 4, and 3 times 3 is 9. There also prime numbers. Prime numbers are numbers that have exactly two divisors. The number one is not included because it only has one divisor, itself. The smallest prime number is two, then three, then five, and so on. This list goes on forever and the largest known primes are called Mersenne primes. A Mersenne prime is written in the form of 2p-1. So far
written in the left column represented larger values. They had two distinct symbols to represent units and tens as well. This system was based on 60 because it was saw as the number with the most divisors. This idea has since then been dropped for the numerical system. We have, on the other hand, kept the 60 divisor in keeping time. For example, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and so forth. Later Babylonian tablets dating from about 1800 to 1600 BCE have been found and they cover
Wal-Mart, the corporate retail giant known for promising customers “Always low prices, Always!” has been both praised and attacked in regards of financial treatment to shareholders and stakeholders respectively. Investors that own shares of Wal-Mart are content with the company, as its decision to annually spend $7.6 billion to repurchase stock is seen as a strategic move in increasing shareholder wealth. On the other hand, Wal-Mart has received scrutiny for violating corporate social responsibility
Euclid of Alexandria “The Element” Euclid, also known as Euclid of Alexandria, lived from 323-283 BC. He was a famous Greek mathematician, often referred to as the ‘Father of Geometry”. The dates of his existence were so long ago that the date and place of Euclid’s birth and the date and circumstances of his death are unknown, and only is roughly estimated in proximity to figures mentioned in references around the world. Alexandria was a broad teacher that taught lessons across the world. He taught

Art And Mathematics:Escher And Tessellations On first thought, mathematics and art seem to be totally opposite fields of study with absolutely no connections. However, after careful consideration, the great degree of relation between these two subjects is amazing. Mathematics is the central ingredient in many artworks. Through the exploration of many artists and their works, common mathematical themes can be discovered. For instance, the art of tessellations, or tilings, relies on geometry
Written in 1899, by Thorstein Veblen, “The Theory of the Leisure Class”, analyzes and critiques consumerism in the United States. Veblen explores the lifestyle and ways of thinking of the exploiter versus the exploited; in a point of view from those who are born into power and those who serve people in power. It is in this book where Veblen created the phrase “conspicuous consumption”, where it means buying goods in order to display a higher social class than others (Heath, 2001). He traces almost
The Hashing Definition: Hashing is the transformation of a string of characters into a usually shorter fixed-length value or key that represents the original string. Hashing is used to index and retrieve items in a database because it is faster to find the item using the shorter hashed key than to find it using the original value. It is also used in many encryption algorithms Hash functions: Hash functions are mostly used in hash tables, to quickly locate a data record (for example, a dictionary
Factions are products of human nature, but the purpose of government and law are to control these often insatiable desires of self-interest. Detailed within James Madison’s address to the people of New York, “The Federalist No. 10”, are the destructive and counterintuitive ideas of factions to a democracy. Agreeing with that notion, factions are detrimental to the idea of a democracy due to the separation of people and ideas; and the subsequent establishment of tiers of power and status within both
EUCLID: The Man Who Created a Math Class Euclid of Alexandria was born in about 325 BC. He is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his dissertation on mathematics. He was able to create “The Elements” which included the composition of many other famous mathematicians together. He began exploring math because he felt that he needed to compile certain things and fix certain postulates and theorems. His book included, many of Eudoxus’ theorems, he perfected many of Theaetetus's
formula is aimed at distributing the seats proportionally in the multi-member constituencies (Johnston, n.d). The proportions increase with increase in the magnitude of the district; the vote totals are subjected to a quota method or a series of divisors to the parties in distribution process (Johnston, n.d). The FPTP adopts plurality formula, which requires the winning candidate to get more votes than any other candidate; the formula requires the candidate to be the ‘first past the post’ by one
Analysis of Jason’s Deli What is typically imagined when entering any establishment is that the experience should be seamless. That is, from the moment you enter until the moment you leave you don’t have a single feeling that anything at all has gone wrong; your goods or service was delivered in an efficient and effective manner. A fast food restaurant, coffee shop, or grocery would need to implement procedures that leave an impression on their customers, as interaction with them is brief. I went
