Ahmed has half of a treasure map‚ which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa has the other half of the map. Her half indicates that to find the treasure‚ one must get to Castle Rock‚ walk x paces to the north‚ and then walk 2x + 4 paces to the east. If they share their information‚ then they can find x and

Tessellations can be created with a variety of figures‚ including triangles‚ squares‚ trapezoids‚ parallelograms‚ or hexagons. Tessellations use forms of transformations to show the repetitions

Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen

Michael Rice Applying math to real life September 3‚ 2010 Obituary for Archimedes of Syracuse Archimedes was born in Syracuse‚ Italy in 287 B.C. His father was Pheidias‚ who happened to be an astronomer. He studied at Alexandria‚ Egypt. He was also close friends with the King of Syracuse. He died in 212 B.C. Archimedes performed numerous geometric proofs using the rigid geometric formalism outlined by Euclid‚ excelling especially at computing areas and volumes using the method of exhaustion

Diophantus was a Greek mathematician that lived in Alexandria in the 3rd Century. His estimated birth and passing years are said to be from 150 B.C. to 350 A.D. Although there is not enough information about his life‚ there is a riddle that estimates how long he lived. The mathematic puzzle is known as ‘Diophantus Riddle’. The riddle states he married while he was 33‚ then he had a son who lived for 42 years and the total years Diophantus lived according to the riddle was a total of 84 years. Through

Throughout the prologue‚ the author describes his experience with math. He starts out by telling the reader just how much he hated math and how most human beings hate it as well. “Most people would rather be strung up by their thumbs and systematically tortured with sharp‚ pointy objects than be forced to ever again to find the antiderivative of a polynomial.” He then goes into how math came to be where it is. He also give the names of the people who created the different math techniques so we can
