of any circle’s circumference to its diameter in the Euclidean plane; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle’s area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159265 in the usual decimal notation. Many formulae from mathematics‚ science‚ and engineering involve π‚ which makes it one of the most important mathematical constants. 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. Consequently

At this moment‚ many people around the world are starving to death. Should we help them? Do we have a moral obligation to provide aid? People have very different views on this topic. An examination of essays by Peter Singer and by John Arthur gives insight into two of the many different opinions concerning the responsibility the affluent people have to the much less fortunate people. Also‚ these philosophers give explanations of the moral responsibility of society. In "Famine‚ Affluence

Mathematics and the Arts Kokichi Sugihara 1. Fractal Voronoi Diagrams The Voronoi diagram represents the partition of the plane into territories‚ where each territory consists of points nearest to the associated generators. Starting with a small number of generators‚ we add generators at random‚ simulate territory competing‚ and assign colors to the resulting diagram. Then‚ we get something like artistic patterns. Search for the point with the maximum F (θ ‚ ϕ ) in the (θ ‚ ϕ ) space. 3. Generation

Mathematics is defined as the science which deals with logic of shape‚ quantity and arrangement. During ancient times in Egypt‚ the Egyptians used maths and complex mathematic equations like geometry and algebra. That is how they managed to build the pyramids. Our day today life would be quite strenuous without maths knowledge. There are many ways in which people use maths during the day today living. Below are some ways in which people use maths in daily lives. * Daily life would be very difficult

Assignment 1 Miss. Dzigbodi Ama Agbodra. A brief history of Mathematics. Ecs/13/01/0396 The area of study known as the history of mathematics is primarily an investigation into the origin of discoveries in mathematics and‚ to a lesser extent‚ an investigation into the mathematical methods and notation of the past. Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge‚ written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light

Society for Research into Learning Mathematics 29(1) March 2009 Exploring Children’s Attitudes towards Mathematics Ben Ashby University of Warwick This paper explores the behaviour‚ attitudes and beliefs of primary school pupils towards mathematics in the classroom and the impact that this may have on their mathematical ability. The study focused on year 3 pupils from a local school‚ some of whom took part in focus groups towards the end of the project. The children completed short worksheets

MATHEMATICS OF INVESTMENT Simple Interest If you borrow a car from a car rental company or if you live in someone else’s house or apartment‚ you have to pay rent. Like paying rent for the use of a car or a house‚ you also have to pay rent for the money you borrowed. This is called interest. People like Marco earn by charging interest on loans. Banks earn most of their income from the interest that people pay for the amounts they borrow. How much interest one has to pay depends on three factors:

Discussion Questions 1. What specific techniques were used to bring about the destruction of self-awareness among the prisoners? The prison camp used social alienation techniques to bring about the destruction of self-awareness among the prisoners. They treated each prisoner like animals and did not acknowledge them as human beings. The ability to cater to basic human functions as we do was taken away. This degradation broke the prisoners down and stripped them of their personal traits. This
