it will break. Two of my teachers have either a box or a hanging pocket rack, for the students to put their phones so that there is no distraction. Dr. Laws has a box next to the calculators, so that when you go to get your calculator, you put your phone in the box, and when class is over and you are putting your calculator up, you grab your phone on the way out of class. Mrs. Hartsell has a phone-pocket rack next to the door; come in, and put your phone in the pocket; walking out, and grab your…

African-American woman, and this event took place during the times of segregation. The writer, Megan Garber, uses this event to portray that in the realm of mathematics, Glenn saw Katherine as at least equals and maybe even higher in class than the other calculators, most of whom were white males. In every other sector of the world, the men would far out-rank the woman, but in math, ability is the only factor. The writer continues to speak about this unique aspect of math, saying that math…

Has Racism Changed in the United States since the 1900’s? Many of us have friends of different races and don’t think of how lucky we are to have them. Back in the 1930’s, it was very hard for friends who weren’t both the same race to stay friends. For example, Blacks weren’t accepted as people, more or less, slaves with more rights. As the years went by, around the 1950’s, 1960’s the Black community was getting their word across about equality. There is a change in segregation that starts to…

whether from far or close distance. Also in schools, the use of computers and calculators make everything easier for students. School children are able to use the computers for research for their homework. They are able to use that machinery to study on their own whether in schools or outside. In our work places, employees are able to store every information on computers rather keeping on papers. The use of calculators helps us in math and other calculation subject. In the past years, humans…

In 1540, a man by the name of Lodovico Ferrari, please be aware that I don’t think his name has anything to do with the sports car, was an Italian mathematician known for discovering the solutions to quartic functions. A quartic function is a function of the form ax^4 + bx^3 +cx^2 +dx+e, where a is a nonzero, which is defined by a polynomial raised to the fourth degree, called quartic polynomial. We will probably go more in depth about these quartic polynomials soon in class. My quartic…

In today’s world, almost everybody including teenagers and kids own phones. Many schools including Cupertino Middle School have been banning students from taking out their phones at any time during school. They require students to keep their phone off and in their backpack at all times, blocking off all the useful materials you can access on your phone. Would you enjoy going to school knowing you can not use your phone? Students should have ability to take out their phones during school hours.…

The first mobile phone was released by Motorola. Motorola was the first company to make a handheld mobile phone. Even though this phone was very big, it started something very monumental. The first mobile phone was twenty three centimeters long and 4.45 centimeters wide. This mobile phone only allowed you to talk for only thirty minutes, and took ten hours to recharge. In this generation that sounds insane, but back in the 1970’s it was the best thing that was made and was very efficient.…

This gives me just enough desperation to churn out a piece of work as best as I can, yet, leaves me with more than enough time to tweak it into the best product I can produce. I did use the time management calculator, and by some stroke of good fortune, I happened to spend 2 hours on schoolwork for every 1 hour I spend in school. Prior to this, I never knew that was the ideal amount of time allocated for schoolwork.…

stop handwriting altogether. Then what would happen if for some reason they had no access to technology? They would be in a sticky situation. Also, people would be relying heavily on calculators to do their math for them. But when they need to apply their math skills outside of school where they do not have a calculator handy, they would be at a loss. Many different universities have given us statistics that prove the use of technology is beneficial. One example of this is the University of…
