In the Shadow of Euclid

Euclidean geometry, in a postulational setting, had come far as the golden era ended and the times of the commentators began. But, over the years, other theorems in the mold of Euclid would make an appearance through the contributions of Gauss, Euler,...

Databases

Data base or databasen is a term we hear almost daily in business because business is information based. But the term's use is not limited to business; it refers to any type of data belonging to an organization, company, or individual. These types of...

Data Scientists Find Meaning in Numbers

When you think of a hacker, do you think of a young woman who loves the outdoors and fitness, who has worked waiting tables, and enjoys cooking at home? Maybe you should. Tatisana Maskalevich, a data scientist with Accenture Technology Labs,...

Words

When people think about mathematics they probably first think of numbers and not words. But mathematics, with its great intellectual curiosity for ideas, studies words from many points of view-doing what it often does, looking for patterns. In fact,...

An Analyzable(Though Seldom Winnable) Card Solitaire

Introduction On the whole, standard card solitaire games notoriously resist the calculation of their winning probabilities. Yan et al. [2005] have said, in referring to what is commonly known as Klondike solitaire, "It is one of the embarrassments of...

Psychology, Applications to Decision Making

What subjects are sciences? A list often begins with chemistry and physics and a subject that is sometimes taken as part of physics, astronomy. Perhaps studying the motions of the moon and the stars and seeing the changing patterns of the sky at night...

Mathematical Modeling Handbook I, II & III (On 1 CD-Rom)

Mathematical Modeling Handbooks I, II, and III were prepared at Teacher College Columbia University and published by the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications [COMAP] to support the Common Core State Standards in mathematical modeling. Each...

Determination of Satellite Orbits with Vector Calculus (UMAP)

The six orbital elements are used to classify the size, shape, and orientation of a satellite in orbit about the earth in space. Determining the orbital elements involve basic computations in three-dimensional coordinate systems that are typically...

BioMath Module Collection

BioMath The BioMath Connection (BMC) & Integrating Mathematics and Biology (IMB) Projects BMC/IMB was a pioneering project linking biology and mathematics in the high schools. It provided an opportunity for high school teachers, writers, researchers,...
