It is no wonder why one of the most accomplished thinkers‚ Albert Einstein‚ has said‚ “the only thing that interferes with my learning is my education” (qtd. In Silber 130). This quote embodies the current state of public education in the United States; a system that approaches learning as “one size fits all” and focuses on the wrong

------------------------------------------------- Prime number A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is called a composite number. For example 5 is prime‚ as only 1 and 5 divide it‚ whereas 6 is composite‚ since it has the divisors 2 and 3 in addition to 1 and 6. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic establishes the central role of primes in number theory: any integer greater than

Random number tables have been used in statistics for tasks such as selected random samples. This was much more effective than manually selecting the random samples (with dice‚ cards‚ etc.). Nowadays‚ tables of random numbers have been replaced by computational random number generators. Tables of random numbers have the desired properties no matter how chosen from the table: by row‚ column‚ diagonal or irregularly. The first such table was published by a student of Karl Pearson’s in 1927‚ and
