He was a Greek mathematician and is probably best known for his work Elements. Since little is known about the personal life of Euclid‚ it is difficult to do a biography on him. His chief work‚ entitled Elements‚ is a comprehensive essay on mathematics. It includes 13 volumes that entail such subjects as plane geometry‚ dealing with the properties of flat surfaces and of planar figures‚ such as the triangle; proportion in general‚ a particular kind of relation between groups of numbers or quantities;

Bahasa Malaysia‚ the national language has been the medium of instruction for about 20 years; however in January 2003 Malaysia re-adopted the English language as a medium of instruction for science and mathematics in a move to keep abreast with scientific and technological development that is mostly recorded in the English language. At the same time‚ this move is envisaged to provide opportunities for students to use the English language and therefore increase their proficiency in the language. This

world without mathematics‚ yet thousands in the United States alone cannot grasp mathematics‚ cannot learn mathematics because of "Dyscalculia" (also called Dyscalcula). Dyscalculia is a term meaning "specific learning disability in mathematics." People who suffer with a poor memory for all things mathematical have many other symptoms and characteristics. Taken as a whole‚ these coexisting conditions comprise what is termed as "the dyscalculia syndrome." Dyscalculia is an MLD (mathematics learning disability)

in the usual decimal notation (see the table for its representation in some other bases). The constant is also known as Archimedes Constant‚ although this name is rather uncommon in modern‚ western‚ English-speaking contexts. Many formulae from mathematics‚ science‚ and engineering involve π‚ which is one of the most important mathematical and physical constants.[5] π is an irrational number‚ which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n‚ where m and n are integers.

Interest Interest is a fee paid by a borrower of assets to the owner as a form of compensation for the use of the assets. It is most commonly the price paid for the use of borrowed money‚ or money earned by deposited funds. When money is borrowed‚ interest is typically paid to the lender as a percentage of the principal‚ the amount owed to the lender. The percentage of the principal that is paid as a fee over a certain period of time (typically one month or year) is called the interest rate. A

My reflection is on a teaching session of nasogastric feeding to a second year student. One of the patient I looked after was fed via a nasogastric tube. My student had told me she had never set up a feed via a nasogastric tube. I saw this as a learning opportunity for her. In order for me to teach my student effectively‚ it was important to establish her preferred learning style. Honey & Mumford (1992) identify four distinct learning styles e:g 1. Activist‚ are those people that learn by doing
