Introduction While relatively few people (just a million or two) in our world of more than six billion people actually know the language of Esperanto, many people realize that it is an attempt to establish an international language- one of many such...
Teacher notes In Activity 1, students use two types of sequences to model population growth over time. The assumption that population grows by a constant amount each year leads to an arithmetic- sequence. A more realistic assumption that population...

The Mathematical Modeling Handbook is intended to support the implementation of the Common Core State Standards high school Mathematics Modeling conceptual category. The CCSS document provides a brief description of mathematical modeling accompanied by...
Mathematical Handbook II: The Assessments - What does it mean to be able to mathematically model successfully? Modeling has several aspects as we know from the structure of the modeling cycle. Moreover, performance-based assessments are difficult to...
Section 1 introduces Zeller's congruence with motivational problems. Section 2 deals with the greatest integer function, applications and graphs. Section 3 uses clock arithmetic and the step function to practice Zeller's formula. Section 4 covers...
The last Geometer's Corner showed how the cube can be transformed into several Archimedian Solids, which are shown in Figure 1. I have included the Truncated Octahedron, which belongs in the list since the Octahedron is the Dual of the Cube, and if you...
With completion of this module students will: 1) be able to state four purposes for fitting an equation to data, and give an example of each; 2) know what experimental error is and that it is present in all real experiments; 3) be able to make a...
The history of mathematics abounds in concepts each bearing the name of some great discoverer or diligent student of that concept. From ancient times we see the emergence of Euclidean geometry or its more recent counterparts, that is, the geometries of...
Euclidean geometry, in a postulational setting, had come far as the golden era ended and the times of the commentators began. But, over the years, other theorems in the mold of Euclid would make an appearance through the contributions of Gauss, Euler,...
Data base or databasen is a term we hear almost daily in business because business is information based. But the term's use is not limited to business; it refers to any type of data belonging to an organization, company, or individual. These types of...
When you think of a hacker, do you think of a young woman who loves the outdoors and fitness, who has worked waiting tables, and enjoys cooking at home? Maybe you should. Tatisana Maskalevich, a data scientist with Accenture Technology Labs,...
When people think about mathematics they probably first think of numbers and not words. But mathematics, with its great intellectual curiosity for ideas, studies words from many points of view-doing what it often does, looking for patterns. In fact,...
Introduction On the whole, standard card solitaire games notoriously resist the calculation of their winning probabilities. Yan et al. [2005] have said, in referring to what is commonly known as Klondike solitaire, "It is one of the embarrassments of...
