She takes her “cue from the Professor” (113) and makes a habit of carrying a pencil and notebook around so that she can quickly do calculations to figure out if any number she sees is prime. While cleaning at another family’s home‚ she can’t help but to explore the numbers in every place‚ including the serial number engraved on a refrigerator. Much like the way the Professor pulled

geometric mean‚ in mathematics‚ is a type of mean or average‚ which indicates the central tendency or typical value of a set of numbers. It is similar to the arithmetic mean‚ which is what most people think of with the word "average‚" except that instead of adding the set of numbers and then dividing the sum by the count of numbers in the set‚ n‚ the numbers are multiplied and then the nth root of the resulting product is taken. For instance‚ the geometric mean of two numbers‚ say 2 and 8‚ is just

Abstract A complex number is a number that can be written in the form of a+bi where a and b are real numbers and i is the value of the square root of negative one. In the form a + bi‚ a is considered the real part and the bi is considered the imaginary part. The goal of this project is show how the use of complex numbers originates in the history of mathematics. Introduction Complex numbers are very important component of mathematics. They enable us to solve any polynomial equation of degree

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

John has $20‚000 to invest. He invests part of his money at an annual interest rate of 6%‚ the rest at 9% annual rate. The return on these two investments over one year is $1‚440. How much does he invest at each rate? Solution Paul made two investments totaling $15‚000. The percentage return on the first investment was 7% annually‚ while the the percentage return on the second one was 10% annually. If the total return on the two investments over one year was $1‚350‚ how much was invested
