You may not know it‚ but mathematics is all around you in the world today- from the breakfast you eat in the morning‚ to the hobbies you enjoy‚ to the complex world of computers and games. In this paper‚ it’s going to be my goal to show you how math is related to the sport of soccer. Soccer‚ in essence‚ is a fairly simplistic sport. The basic rules are simple‚ but some of the more particular ones can become slightly confusing. The MLS (Major League Soccer) recognizes seventeen basic rules

MATH INVESTIGATION 4.2 FACTORIZATIONS on the Math Investigator determines if a number is prime or composite. If a number is composite‚ it prints all its factors‚ the number of factors‚ and its prime factorization. The numbers 1‚ 2‚ 4‚ and 6 have 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4 factors‚ respectively: 1 has only 1 as a factor; 2 has 1 and 2 as factors; 4 has 1‚ 2‚ and 4 as factors; and 6 has 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 6 as factors. These factors are illustrated by the rectangles shown here. Starting Points for Investigations

1-20-13 Essay #1- math and me When I first learned about math I was nervous I thought I wouldn’t learn how to do it or be good at it or maybe not be able to keep up with the others. When I finally started doing it I realized I was actually pretty good at it so I kept practicing and learning new things and then third grade came and we had to do multiplication and times tables‚ I wasn’t thrilled. I didn’t quite get it at first and took me a while to get the hang of it. I just remember doing mad minutes

Calculus of one variable Let y = axb‚ where a and b are numbers‚ with b different from zero. The derivative of y with respect to x is dy/dx = abxb-1 Examples: y = 2x7‚ dy/dx = 2*7x7-1 = 14x6 y = 5x0.3‚ dy/dx = 5*0.3*x0.3-1 = 1.5x-0.7 Exercises: Calculate dy/dx a) y= 3x2 b) y = 12x0.8 c) y = 6 e) y = 5/x4 g) y = 3

Example 5: Student work Maths Exploration Newton-Raphson method Rationale- For this project I chose to research and analyse the Newton-Raphson method‚ where calculus is used to approximate roots. I chose this topic because it looked extremely interesting and the idea of using calculus to approximate roots‚ seemed intriguing. The aim of this exploration is to find out how to use the Newton-Raphson method‚ and in what situations this method is used Explanation of the Newton-Raphson method

In order to plot a point in the coordinate system‚ you will need the X coordinate as well as the Y coordinate. For example‚ the point (3‚5) can be plotted be going right on the X axis 3 points‚ and going up on the Y axis 5 points. Remember the opposite goes for negatives. 2) How many Points are needed to graph

(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
