What sort of mathematics shows up in the Dream Act? Please be more specific with the mathematics. E. Cohen I agree that statistics are in our everyday life, and that they are a valuable tool in prevention of many bad things however when something is stopped due to statistics the real outcome will never be shown and an educated guess could have prevented something good from happening.T.O Great summary!

email.hidden@example.com (teddy)teddy edited Math and Golden Ratio in Art SummaryThe late great Albert Einstein once said “the fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious; it is the fundamental which stands at the cradle of true art and science he who knows can no longer wonder.” This is the same Albert Einstein who gave us so many ideas in mathematics and physics, his intelligent is truly among some of the most brilliant minds in history and will remain among them for years to come. His ides were well thought out and were also proven, however he put not only hard work into his ideas but he put a high level of passion into his work. Going back to the quote we can clearly see that Einstein is talking with a deep passion for his work, to be more specific Einstein is talking about the golden ratio. The ratio of equal proportion, a simple example of this would be: eight is to four as is four is to two. This idea was first introduced to the world by Euclid of Alexandria when he came up with, “as the whole line is to the greater segment as the greater segment is to the lesser s]]>Wed, 07 May 2008 14:15:13 +0000modMath and Government Summary

2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Betting Travis, I didn't understand the last part on the betting. Can you explain more clearly? E. Cohen The last section of my paper was referring to how the odds of winning or losing change as there are more teams to bet on. If there is multiple combinations that must be chosen for a person to win then your odds of winning go down although the payoff in the case of a win will be much greater due to the large odds that the house has over your bet. The concept is the larger the house odds are againist you then the higher the payoff simply because of the chances of winning go down. So as the number of sources you are betting on increases so does the odds that your bet will lose although the payoff will be greater. So this chart shows your chances of winning when the number of betting sources rises. # of Teams Payoff Odds Actual Odds House Edge 2 13/5 3/1 10.0% 3 6/1 7/1 12.5% 4 10/1 15/1 31.3% 5 20/1 31/1 34.4% ]]>Thu, 01 May 2008 10:55:18 +0000modMath and Government Summary

Edward, I agree with you about the electoral college and not truly hearing what the voters have to say. This particular reason has led me not to vote for the past two years of being over eighteen. I don't believe in a system that doesn't necessarily give the voters their complete vote. It is unfair that some states have more votes than others because in my opinion it's almost like the states that have fewer votes are unimportant to the ones that have more votes within the electoral college. Every election I see that candidates are usually competing for the larges states to have that assurance in their pocket and I feel like that takes away from the whole idea of majority rules. I think you make some pretty interesting and valid points, good work. :)]]>Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:29:28 +0000comMath and Government Summary

These people are who are commonly known for their skills as mathematicians. We see these people teaching the world how to learn the skills of mathematics and how to apply them to our world. Although teachers and professors are important in our world and academic learning they are not the only ones that have an impact on how mathematics applies to our society today. A career in mathematics goes far beyond a job as a professor or teacher. In fact many careers that are on a professional based level happen to arise from the study of mathematics.
