(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

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

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

Never shall I forget these things‚ even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never” (Wiesel). This quote‚ taken from the book Night by Elie Wiesel‚ testifies to the concept of transformation for Eliezer‚ a Jewish teenager who was forced to experience the horrors of the Holocaust.

Perfect numbers Mathematicians have been fascinated for millenniums by the properties and patterns of numbers. They have noticed that some numbers are equal to the sum of all of their factors (not including the number itself). Such numbers are called perfect numbers. A perfect number is a whole number‚ an integer greater than zero and is the sum of its proper positive devisors‚ that is‚ the sum of the positive divisors excluding the number itself. Equivalently‚ a perfect number is a number that is

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

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."

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

Oxidation Number When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few
