Parking Deck Project Of University ______________

University Master Plan recommends one parking space for every 1.8 students. The
student enrollment, (divided by) the number of students per parking space,
(equals) the number of recommended parking spaces.
1996 Enrollment ........................ 4,960
Students Per Parking Space......... / 1.8 (Divided by)
Recommended Parking Spaces... = 2,756

Why Sex Education Should Be Taught In Schools
.... have sex education taught by a sex education professions
and that use reports and survey from all over the country and world are the most
convening sources of information. They have had the most influence on my
decisions about sex as well as many other teens. Parents and other teens can
give out wrong information about sex that can give a false scene of security,
which can lead to a unwanted pregnancy or STD. Sex education must be taught in
schools so, student get the right information.
Most parent .....

Students Rights In The Public School System
.... the way to the supreme court. The court ruled
that the fourth amendment rights didn't apply in the school, and school
officialsstill have to have reasonable suspicion not probale cause. Another
famous case is the case TINKER Vs DES MOINES where two students wanted to
protest the war by wearing arm bands. When the school officials saw what the
two students were wearing the teachers demanded that the students take the arm
bands off at once. The case got all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

Uniforms In School
.... in my first period class.
The enforcement of uniforms will relieve the tension between the new
students and the students that are already there. The uniforms will expedite
the process of making new friends for the new student since the uniforms will
help the new student feel a sense of "belonging". This helps the majority of
the school becoming friends with each other. This obviously helps the class
and also the school as a whole, as there will be less fights and controversy
between students.

Ancient Advances In Mathematics
.... he simply combined the number-sounds related
with his fingers. So, if he wished to define one more than ten, he simply said
one-ten. Thus our word eleven is simply a modern form of the Teutonic ein-lifon.
Since those first sounds were created, man has only added five new basic
number-sounds to the ten primary ones. They are “hundred,” “thousand,” “
million,” “billion” (a thousand millions in America, a million millions in
England), “trillion” (a million millions in America, a million-million millio .....

Calculus
.... dealing with "changing or
varying" quantities. Calculus is considered "mathematics of change." There are
some basic or general parts of calculus. Some of these are functions,
derivative, antiderivatives, sequences, integral functions, and multivariate
calculus.
Some believe that calculus is too hard or impossible to learn without much
memorization but if you think that calculus is all memorizing then you will not
get the object of learning calculus. People say that calculus is just the

Euclidean Geometry
.... It
is true that not everyone must prove things, but everyone is exposed to proof.
Politicians, advertisers, and many other people try to offer convincing
arguments. Anyone who cannot tell a good proof from a bad one may easily be
persuaded in the wrong direction. Geometry provides a simplified universe, where
points and lines obey believable rules and where conclusions are easily verified.
By first studying how to reason in this simplified universe, people can
eventually, through practice and experi .....

Fibonacci Numbers
.... book, though, was somewhat contraversial because it
contradicted and even proved some of the foremost Roman and Grecian
Mathematicians of the time to be false. He published many famous mathematical
books. Some of them were Practica geometriae in 1220 and Liber quadratorum in
1225.
The Fibonacci sequence is also used in the Pascal trianle. The sum of
each diagnal row is a fibonacci number. They are also in the right sequence:
1,1,2,5,8.........
Fibonacci sequence has been a big factor in many .....

Fractal Geometry
.... images. Fractals are about us, and our existence,
and they are present in every mathematical law that governs the universe. Thus,
fractal geometry can be applied to a diverse palette of subjects in life, and
science - the physical, the abstract, and the natural.
We were all astounded by the sudden revelation that the output of a
very simple, two-line generating formula does not have to be a dry and
cold abstraction. When the output was what is now called a fractal,
no one .....

Gods Gift To Calculators: The Taylor Series
.... f(x) that looks like the graph below.
We'll start out trying to approximate function values near x=0. To do
this we start out using the lowest order polynomial, f0(x)=a0, that passes
through the y-intercept of the graph (0,f(0)). So f(0)=ao.
Next, we see that the graph of f1(x)= a0 + a1x will also pass through x=
0, and will have the same slope as f(x) if we let a0=f1(0).
Now, if we want to get a better polynomial approximation for this
function, which we do of course, we must make a few generaliza .....

Problem Solving
.... check by repeating the problem, estimate or find another
way to try and to solve the problem.
You can understand what the problem means yet still not be able to solve
it immediately. One good way to help you solve the problem is to draw a picture.
One example of this strategy is suppose you received a problem asking you how
many diagonals a heptagon has. The plan is very obvious. Draw a heptagon and
then draw its diagonals.
Another strategy is trial and error. Trial and error is a problem

Proportions Of Numbers And Magnitudes
.... exceed, are alike equal to, or alike fall short of, the latter
equimultiples respectively taken in corresponding order." From this it follows
that magnitudes in the same ratio are proportional. Thus, we can use the
following algebraic proportion to represent definition 5.5:
(m)a : (n)b :: (m)c : (n)d.
However, it is necessary to be more specific because of the way in which the
definition was worded with the phrase "the former equimultiples alike exceed,
are alike equal to, or alike fall short .....

Trigonometry
.... In "Geometry and Algebra in Ancient Civilizations", the author
discusses who originally derived the Pythagorean Theorem. He quotes Proclos, a
commentator of Euclid's elements, "if we listen to those who wish to recount the
ancient history we may find some who refer this theorem to Pythagoras, and say
that he sacrificed an ox in honor of his discovery". If this statement is
considered as a statement of fact, it is extremely improbable, for Pythagoras
was opposed to the sacrifice of animals, especi .....

SAT Scores Vs. Acceptance Rates
.... equation is:
ACCEPTANCE = 212.5 + -.134 * SAT_SCORE
R= -.632 R^2=.399
I plugged in the data into my calculator, and did the various regressions. I
saw that the power regression had the best correlation of the non-linear
transformations.
A scatterplot of the transformation can be seen on page 4.
The Power Regression Equation is
ACCEPTANCE RATE=(2.475x10^23)(SAT SCORE)^-7.002
R= -.683 R^2=.466
The power regression s .....
