Plato, a famous Greek Philosopher once said, “I would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.” As a society, we thrive off the arts, most specifically music. No one can honestly say they have gone a few hours without thinking about, humming, whistling, singing, or even playing a song. Yes, drumming your pencil or pen against anything counts. Why would society deny their children the amazing…

comprehension and proficiency, the software uses visual, interactive, and game-based instruction to visually represent mathematical concepts without any written instruction or direction. With this approach, ST Math helps students tap into the spatial-temporal reasoning ability, “which lies at the core of innovative thinking and sophisticated problem-solving [and] allows the brain to hold visual, mental representations in short-term memory and evolve them in both space and time, thinking multiple…

MRI has become the method of choice for exploring the pathophysiology and the psychopathology of schizophrenia, because of its high contrast sensitivity and spatial resolution, in the absence of radiation exposure (Brambilla & Tansella…

Transferring this line of reasoning to a temporal setting, suppose a new entrant wished to come in and supply two buses an hour. The optimum for society would be for the entrant to run at 10.15 and 10.45; however, the optimum for…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994.
