1.3 billion, 1.2 billion, 186 million. The respective populations of China, Qin Zhang’s country, India, Abdul Hussein’s country and Nigeria, my country. China has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) output of $19.7 trillion and India has a GDP output of $7.9 trillion . These numbers indicate that these two countries have the strongest economies in Asia while Nigeria with a GDP output of $1 trillion holds the title of the strongest economy from the African continent. This zoomed out view allows us…

Cuba, on the other hand, is a communist dictatorship. The Castro brothers took power in 1959, and implemented a communist regime. Throughout the beginning of the regime, Cuba was supported economically by the Soviet union, which enabled them to prosper (Prieto). Since Fidel Castro’s death on November 25th, many people have been both celebrating his death while examining the brutality of the regime and reflecting on the good that it has done for social programs.

The United States classifies our hierarchical class structure by the income brackets individuals reside in. These brackets rank the poorest poor to the most elite. The basis of the levels is on income, wealth, education, and occupation. The sections of a pyramid sort the classes into their group, with the majority of the population concentrated towards the lower levels. Political and economic power is fixated in the smallest socioeconomic bracket occupied by America’s wealthiest and most…

going to focus on Jiu Zhang Suan Shu [Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art] composed by Chinese scholars around 2nd century BC-10th century AD. I will use the binomial expansions derived from Pascal’s triangle as an example and then illustrate the coefficients expansion in general. After that, I will introduce Jade Mirror of the Four Unknowns written by Zhu Shijie around 14th century AD. My focus will be his idea of using the “four unknowns” to convert a problem into a mathematical system of…

Hey Mom, I know you’re dying to know how my semester is going so I thought I’d share with you some of the assignments I’ve been working on. I just finished my first chemistry lab project involving drugs! Yes, drugs, but not the ones you’re thinking about. We worked with Sulfanilamide, Phenacetin, Acetaminophen, and your favorite, Caffeine. The goal for the experiment was to determine where the drugs may reside according to their properties. We learned that there are parts in the cell that are…

provide weak positive linear relationships between the amount of time spent participating in extracurricular activities when compared to campus common assessment data. Table 8 depicts the weak positive relationship as it pertains to the correlation coefficient, ranging from +.20 to +.29, for a number of the comparisons between amount of time spent participating in extracurricular activities when compared to CCA results. When exploring the scatterplots further, Figures 1 and 2, the data points…
