501 Mrs.Werwee Honors Alg. 2 23 May 2016 Neonatologist First I would like to start by explaining what a neonatologist is and what they do. A neonatologist is a type of pediatrician that works with newborn babies especially the ones that are born prematurely or with serious illnesses. Neonatologists usually work in hospitals and in the NICUs (Neonatal Intensive Care Units). Neonatologists are trained to be able to handle complex situations and be able to resolve them. They do many things such…

Core Standards omit curriculum guidelines for the key elements of mathematics required for a college-preparatory math track, such as Algebra II, pre-calculus, and calculus. “With the exception of a few standards in trigonometry, the math standards end after Algebra II” (quoted Lowering the Bar). Also, the guidelines replace conventional geometry with a new kind of geometry. Rather than using the accepted Euclidean…

confidence that I was eligible to be participating in honors classes, because of being in honor roll every year and having a 3.93 GPA. I signed up to be in a new class that was introduced to my school. That class was Algebra II/Pre-Calculus honors. Algebra II/ Pre-Calculus honors was a fast paced class where you are learning two subjects at one time. On top of taking honors classes, I also got accepted as a cashier at ShopRite in Middletown, New Jersey. I just contemplated and prayed that…

disease is caused by oral bacteria present in the mouth that forms plaque, a filmy substance on the teeth. When exposed to minerals in saliva and allowed to settle, the plaque mineralizes over a period of two to three days and hardens into a thick calculus on the teeth. The presence of starchy particles in the mouth creates an ideal breeding environment and food supply for the oral bacteria. When allowed to settle and breed, the bacteria travel down the tooth and into the gums, causing infection…

Biomedical engineering combines the studies of medicine, biology and engineering to design instruments that will enhance the health of an individual. They design products such as prosthetics, artificial organs, software, and devices that will be used for healthcare purposes. In addition, some BME’s conduct research along with other engineers, chemist or medical scientist. Through research, BME’s are able to obtain a greater understanding of complex systems of biology in humans and in animals.…

The significance of Bentham is that he popularizes his ideas of social utility, the general welfare, and the common good. These ideas have great effects in current politics and government. When everyone praises highly the moral value and natural right, Bentham criticizes they are simple nonsense: Natural rights, according to Bentham, are “simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense, — nonsense upon stilts” So-called moral and natural rights are mischievous fictions…

Torricelli has a unit of measure named after him, “Torr”, which is the unit of air pressure. He was the first person to give a scientific explanation of the cause of wind, helped to develop integral calculus, made advances in geometry. He also studied the infinite number series, fluid and projectile projection, calculus, and mechanics. Lastly, he created Torricelli’s Law, which concerns the speed of a fluid flowing out of an opening. Torricelli published books about his findings, which include…

Memory is the ability to recall something after it has happened. There are three stages that are gone through to make a memory: the encoding, storage, and retrieval. The encoding is the initial learning or experience of an event. Storage is just the holding of information until the retrieval which is when you access the information. If there is a mishap between these stages, then the memory will be loss. These stages are vital to the making of a memory, and help filter the important information…

football players are no longer the heroes, and while they have not achieved the level of hero yet, they are better off. The school curriculum has changed due to Sputnik with hours of homework every night. In addition to this, Sonny is trying to learn calculus and other math in order to be able to launch his rockets better. Miss Riley is his chemistry teacher who one day shows them a chemical reaction they believe would be a good rocket fuel. She is able to let them use it, but they find an…

Leonhard Euler was a famous eighteenth century physicist who was responsible for developing many concepts that are now part of modern mathematics. He is acknowledged for many of the articles and books that he wrote over his lifetime. Leonhard was one of the top mathematics of the eighteenth century and the greatest mathematician to come out of Switzerland (Leonhard Euler Biography n.pag). Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707 in Basel Switzerland. His parents were Paul Euler and Marguerite…
