The main theme of "The Star" by Arthur C. Clarke deals with faith. Clarke defines faith as having belief and trust in God with strong conviction. Clarke believes that one must have faith not only during blissful times‚ such as during the time of creation‚ but also during time of anguish‚ such as when destruction occurs. God "created" when a star flew over Bethlehem‚ just as God destroyed a star‚ the Phoenix Nebula‚ and its surrounding planets including any life that may have lived there. God does

produce large amounts of organic bone matrix‚ osteoid‚ which does not become calcified (Guyton and Hall‚ 2001). Consequently‚ the newly formed‚ uncalcified osteoid gradually takes the place of other bone that is being reabsorbed. During the later stages of rickets‚ the serum calcium level falls precipitously‚ and tetany (neuromuscular spasm) develops. In infants and young children‚ a long-standing calcium intake deficiency‚ in association with suboptimal vitamin D exposure‚ can produce rickets. Indeed

Gauss-Jordan Matrix Elimination -This method can be used to solve systems of linear equations involving two or more variables. However‚ the system must be changed to an augmented matrix. -This method can also be used to find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix or larger matrices‚ 3x3‚ 4x4 etc. Note: The matrix must be a square matrix in order to find its inverse. An Augmented Matrix is used to solve a system of linear equations. a1 x + b1 y + c1 z = d1 a 2 x + b2 y + c 2 z = d 2 a3 x + b3 y + c3 z = d 3 System

The plot above shows the first 511 terms of the Fibonacci sequence represented in binary‚ revealing an interesting pattern of hollow and filled triangles (Pegg 2003). A fractal-like series of white triangles appears on the bottom edge‚ due in part to the fact that the binary representation of ends in zeros. Many other similar properties exist. The Fibonacci numbers give the number of pairs of rabbits months after a single pair begins breeding (and newly born bunnies are assumed to begin breeding
