Semra Özal CONNECTIONS OF LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS Logarithm and exponential functions have close relationship and they are inverse function of each other in a way. Before explicitly clarifying this inverse relationship, we should analyze their definitions. Logarithm means, in mathematics, “The exponent that indicates the power to which a base number is raised to produce a given number “2 Exponential function means that “mathematical function in which an…

PBL Blended Career Activity Mathematician Individual Group Work: Description of Career: Mathematicians conduct research to develop their understanding of mathematical principles, and through this, they can apply mathematical techniques to everyday world problems in order to come up with alternative ways to solve those problems which eventually lead to a new solution that can possibly benefit you and the world around you. Mathematics are used everyday, no matter the career, whether it be in…

This year I decided to challenge myself academically. I made the decision of taking four AP classes and math analysis so, to say the least it has been a difficult journey. In addition, out of all the classes I took I struggled the most with AP Chemistry. The material is pretty difficult to understand, even after spending a couple hours to review my notes some things would still be a little blurry. I was failing my test. I was failing my quizzes. I was failing at everything. It was a pretty…

The Philadelphia 76ers trend is upward sloped, and attendance increased as the Sixers win percentage went up. From 1994 to 2013 for the most part there wasn’t much divergence from the line of best fit expect for in the years 2001 and 2003. In the year 2001 the divergence is extreme; based on the line of best fit, one would expect approximately 80 % attendance for a 52% win rate, however this was not the case. In 2001 the attendance was at the Sixers highest between the years of 1994-2013 at…

One challenge I've experienced during my pursuit in engineering and my education as a whole has been AP Calculus AB. Considering I've had high grades in previous maths, I assumed that calculus would not be a problem. However, those previous classes could not have given me a sense of what a college level math class would be like, which I learned very quickly. Calculus has been a surprising taste of what college learning is like. I now know that much of the learning is going to be one's own…

I will be going to Pinnacle High school next year, even though I live in the Horizon High School area. I believe I should be registered for the following math class next year, Honors Geometry. In my eyes, I feel this is the best choice for me because I have earned all of the necessary requirements. So far this year I have maintained a 4.0 G.P.A in all of my classes including Algebra. I also have successfully gotten an 86.20% which passes the 80% needed to pass the final. Now with the grades that…

today I will be talking about John Wallis, which John Wallis is known for the partial credit in the Infinitesimal Calculus. What impact did John Wallis have? In 1655 John Wallis discovered the Infinite Product π4 = 23x43x45x65x67xxx, and his colleague William Brouncker transformed this into the Infinite Continued. Which today is what we know as Calculus. Which if you don’t know what Calculus is, it is the branch of mathematics that deals with the finding and derivatives and integrals of…

had before him; mathematics is vital when interpreting the world. While Daniel was succeeded by a laundry list of mathematicians and physics, it is he and the men which preceded him that truly impacted the mathematical world of their time. “That calculus rose to its height of popularity in the eighteenth century,” is attributed to Jacques I and Johann I (Lick, 401). Daniel I’s accomplishments warranted him “the founder of mathematical physics”(Lick, 401). Along with their accomplishments, these…

the greatest number”.” (Jenkins) The also knows as the utility calculus, the hedonistic calculus, and the hedonic calculus, is in a certain way, an algorithm to weight the amount of happiness that a decision might bring to your life. In this case, abortion might bring a relief to the mother, who is a victim and ending the pregnancy can be seen as the ending of a terrible experience, being reflected here some aspects of the hedonic calculus as well as utilitarianism. After women end up pregnant…

Understanding how to best discourage criminal activity from a sociological point of view has been important to the public since the 19th century. Engagement in criminal activity has lead to many problems which criminology can assist with. Moreover, truth of continuing social development accompanies the need for diverse schools of thought. With progress comes new and dangerous ideas for the destruction of bonds between individuals and community. The most accurate ideas about why misdemeanors…
