In the short story‚ “The Cold Equations‚” written by Tom Godwin‚ is about an emergency supplies ship pilot who finds a stowaway on his ship‚ and must execute her on sight. This story illuminates the theme that sometimes‚ the consequences to one’s actions can be worse than the initial crime itself. First‚ in the beginning of the story‚ The E.D.S pilot sits in the cockpit of his ship‚ reciting the clearly stated law‚ “Any stowaways discovered in an EDS shall be jettisoned immediately following

laws can exclude large numbers of people from polls and create variation of voting throughout the country. For example‚ all state but Maine and Vermont prohibit prison inmates from voting. Majority of states also refuse to let people vote if they are on parole. There are ten states total that has permanently banned all convicted felons from voting. If states wanted to permit a 16 year old to vote‚ they could do that‚ however no state has yet done this. These rules are important‚ because it can prevent

story “Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin is about human nature versus reality‚ because the girl’s nature told her to get on the EDS as a stowaway‚ but she didn’t know the reality so she suffered the ultimate consequence of death. The EDS pilot knew he wasn’t alone in the EDS because of the heat sensor. He knew what he had to do‚ so he opened the cabinet where the human was. The pilot is surprised to find a young happy girl in the cabinet and gets thrown off his objective. He tells her what he has to

Gauss’s most important contributions to astronomy was using conic equations to track the dwarf planet Ceres. Gauss located the position of the Dwarf planet Ceres. Gauss showed that its orbit was almost circular‚ like a planet‚ and he calculated how far the object was from the sun. An Italian astronomer Joseph Piazzi‚ in January 1

Application of linear algebraic equation for chemical engineering problem The chemical engineering system models often outcome of set of linear algebraic equations. These problems may range in complexity from a set of two simultaneous linear algebraic equations to a set involving 1000 or even 10‚000 equations. The solution of a set two or three linear algebraic equations can be obtained easily by the algebraic elimination of variables or by the application of cramer’s rule. However for systems involving

The accounting equation is‚ Assets are equal to Liabilities plus Stockholders’ Equity. Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are the debts and obligations of the business. Liabilities represent claims of creditors on the assets of a business. Stockholders’ equity represents the claims of owners on the assets of the business. This equity is divided into two parts: common stock and retained earnings. The balance sheet reports assets and claims to assets at one specific point in time
