Age is just a Number What is age? Does age define who you are? As a nurse in Long term care for fifteen plus years I have learned to look past the number found in the persons chart. I have learned when I as a caregiver look past that number that represents the date the Elder was born; the Elder too tends to look beyond that number and will follow along leading to experiences one might not think Elders of LTC facilities might still accomplish. Here is what Betty has shared with me about her experiences

Introduction The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter‚ and is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century‚ though it is also sometimes written as "pi. π is an irrational number‚ which means that it cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of any two integers (fractions such as 22/7 are commonly used to approximate π; no fraction can be its exact value); consequently‚ its decimal

universal precautions. Suppose the spread of a direct contact disease in a stadium is modeled by the exponential equation P(t) = 10‚000/(1 + e3-t) where P(t) is the total number of people infected after t hours. (Use the estimate for e (2.718) or the graphing calculator for e in your calculations.) 1. Estimate the initial number of people infected with the disease. Show how you found your answer. Answer: A total of 474 people would be initially infected. Equation: p(0)=10‚000/(1+3^3) ~ 474

colors‚ red and blue‚ it is impossible to color the edges of the kn without forming either a red kp or a blue kq. In short we formulate it as kn[pic]kp‚kq (read as kn arrows kp‚kq). The smallest value of such n is denoted by r(p‚q)‚known as the Ramsey number. A famous example for the two color Ramsey theorem is k6 which arrows k3‚k3. To prove k6 [pic]k3‚k3‚ let’s put 6 points on a plane and call one of them v. There are 5 edges joining v to the remaining 5 points. Let’s color them red
