William Shakespeare is highly regarded for his literary works, and one of the greatest studied authors in literature. However, there is hardly any record of Shakespeare’s childhood, other than he born around the time of his baptism that took place on April 26th, 1564, and attended the Stratford grammar school, where he would have studied classical writings and Latin. Though we know very little about his education or what prompted his writings, we do know that around the year 1594 Shakespeare was…

The popular Monty Hall Problem is about being on a game show where you’re either going to win a fancy sports car or a goat. It’s a no brainer on which one you would prefer: the car.

The sample space is one thing to consider in this problem. There is a winning door and the two remaining doors are x and y and have goats behind them…

Each of these stories has the overlaying theme of space, causing loneliness, which leads to one becoming an introvert. The characters in all of these books either live in the middle of nowhere, or have secluded…

The Mirriam-Webster dictionary defines the word “blame” as a verb, meaning “to place responsibility for a fault or error; to hold responsible; to find fault for.” In the face of a horrific tragedy, it seems to be a natural response to want to place the blame on someone or something, perhaps to channel the anger and the trauma and be able to put it somewhere, anywhere, in hopes of alleviating the pain.
