Question 1 (i) Mean: ‘’The sum of a series of measurements (or numbers) divided by the number of those measurements.’’ (Open University,2015: S104 Exploring Science Glossary, Milton Keynes, The Open University). Scientific Notation: ‘’ A notation that represents any number by expressing it as a number that is equal to or greater than 1 but less than 10, multiplied by a simple power of ten where the index may be positive or negative. Thus, 1.30 × 103 is in scientific notation (because 1.30 is…

Lemma: If p > 3 is prime, then either p = 1 (mod 6) or p = 5 (mod 6). Proof: The residue classes modulo 6 partition Z, so any z in Z satisfies a congruence z = n (mod 6) where n is in {0,1,...,5}. z is divisible by 6 if n = 0, 2 if n = 2, 3 if n = 3, and 2 if n = 4. These cases cover the primes z = 2 and z = 3; if z > 3 is prime, it follows that n = 1 or n = 5, i.e., z = 1 (mod 6) or z = 5 (mod 6). Now suppose there are only finitely many primes congruent to 5 modulo 6, say p_1, ...,…

The author of "The Monopolists", Mary Pilon is quite explicit in her purpose, as it becomes quite clear after reading the first chapter. The story of Ralph Anspach sets the stage for him to uncover the true story behind Monopoly, in order to have his gave Anti-Monopoly published. I believe that this approach by Pilon is the best possible one as it creates a real reason behind the uncovering the truth instead of simply saying it. By doing this she is able to make it into a more intriguing and…
