MATH TRIVIA When is a billion not a billion? Did you know that the American system for naming large numbers is not the same as the British system? What we call a billion‚ they call a thousand million. And what they call a billion‚ we call a trillion! And it continues from there. After a million‚ we do not agree on any of the names for large numbers. The chart below summarizes the differences. Number Power of 10 American Name British Name 1‚000 103 thousand thousand 1‚000‚000 106

public’s it’s mostly true. I first met Math when I was young. He gave me a hard time. Back in the days of flashcards and simple addition‚ I shied away from the numbers and rapid computations. It wasn’t because I sucked at it or I hated competing with others‚ but mainly because I tend to overthink things and worry too much and end up miserably failing. To this day‚ I need a calculator (when allowed) to see if I added 1+1 correctly. Math is fun‚ but only when Math takes it easy on you or lets you understand

(a) How is math an integral part of our day to day life? "In mathematics‚ you don’t understand things. You just get used to them." -- Johann von Neumann Math is an integral part in a human being’s day to day life. We often look upon math in disdain however‚ we use math at every moment of our life and it plays a vital role in our life. The procedure of applying mathematics starts as early as you are born because the first thing known about your life is your time and date of birth‚ so your

Math Portfolio HL- Type 1 INVESTIGATINGRATIOS OF AREAS AND VOLUMES The purpose of this portfolio is to investigate the ratios of areas and volumes when a function y= xn is graphed between two arbitrary parameters x=a and x=b such that a‹b. Task 1 The general formula to find area A is [pic] The general formula to find area B is [pic] Therefore‚ the ratio of Area A to Area B is- = [pic] ÷ [pic] = [pic] × [pic] = n : 1 n:1 is the general conjecture formed.
