What is culture? * Culture is learned through experiences‚ observations‚ listening‚ talking‚ interacting with others‚ etc. * Our own cultural learning depends on the uniquely developed human capacity to use symbols‚ signs that have no necessary or natural connection to the things they stand for or signify. * Anthropologist Clifford Geertz defined culture as ideas based on cultural learning and symbols. * Sometimes culture is taught directly.

Interpretation of “My Number” by Billy Collins Billy Collins’ poem‚ “My Number” combines the use of personification and imagery to illustrate the uneasy feeling of uncertainty in regard to Death and its imminence. The persona is waiting in constant fear for Death’s arrival‚ as he is clearly not ready for Death to find him. Collins uses personification in the first stanza when he writes the following: Is Death… reaching for a widow in Cincinnati or breathing down the neck of a lost hiker in

of this task is to investigate geometric shapes‚ which lead to special numbers. The simplest example of these are square numbers‚ such as 1‚ 4‚ 9‚ 16‚ which can be represented by squares of side 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4. Triangular numbers are defined as “the number of dots in an equilateral triangle uniformly filled with dots”. The sequence of triangular numbers are derived from all natural numbers and zero‚ if the following number is always added to the previous as shown below‚ a triangular number will

Fibonacci number From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia A tiling with squares whose side lengths are successive Fibonacci numbers An approximation of the golden spiral created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling; this one uses squares of sizes 1‚ 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 5‚ 8‚ 13‚ 21‚ and 34. In mathematics‚ the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci series or Fibonacci sequence are the numbers in the following integer sequence:[1][2] 0‚\;1‚\;1‚\;2‚\;3

The Number Devil Prima Donna Numbers Prima- donna numbers is another name for prime numbers. Prima- donna numbers/ prime numbers can only be divided evenly by one and itself. In The Number Devil‚ the Number Devil does the prima-donna numbers from 0 to 50. I created a chart‚ just like in the number devil and figured out which ones are prima-donna numbers. The number 0 does not count because if you divide a number by 0 the answer will always be 0. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

ABSTRACT Reynolds number can be defined as a number of varieties of situations where a fluid is in relative with motion to a surface. This experiment is to observe the behavior of the flow of fluid either it is laminar or turbulent by calculating it’s Reynolds number and the characteristic of the flow. Other than that‚ the range for laminar and turbulent flow can be calculated and the theory that Reynolds number is dimensionless can be proven. The pump is opened to let the water flow. The dye

Graham’s number‚ named after Ronald Graham‚ is a large number that is an upper bound on the solution to a certain problem in Ramsey theory. The number gained a degree of popular attention when Martin Gardner described it in the "Mathematical Games" section of Scientific American in November 1977‚ writing that‚ "In an unpublished proof‚ Graham has recently established ... a bound so vast that it holds the record for the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof."
