Pool Pockets Problem Statement: A ball is hit off of the bottom left hand corner of a pool table at a 45angle. The pool tables dimensions are all whole numbers and the ball bounces off at a 45 angle, how many rebounds does it take before it goes into one of the 4 corner pockets. Which corner will it land in? Process: To start the problem I drew about 20 rectangles to represent the pool table in the problem and recorded the dimensions and rebounds by each rectangle. This took me about 3 days and…

Emily Carr is one of Canada’s most well known painters but, there was more to her. Emily Carr was born on December thirteenth 1871 in Victoria, British Columbia (Neering, p. 3).

Haybaler Problem Problem Statement: We are trying to find the weight of 5 hay bales. The bales of hay were weighed in pairs. The weights of the pairs in kilograms were 80,82,83, 84,85,86,87,88,90, and 91. What are the weights of the individual bales? Is there an easier way to find the weights? Process: What our group is doing is the guess and check method. We did this because we thought that would be the best and easy way. Also , we labeled the hay bales A,B,C,D,E because that makes it easier…

To live in a static state of mind is to restrict the joy one may find in life. Oliver Sacks, Maggie Nelson, and Robert Thurman all suggest that one’s perception of the world, as well as the flexibility of their state of mind, directly correlates with how they exist within it. Specifically, Thurman’s work “Wisdom” claims that it is necessary for one to abandon the idea of having a fixed and strict self but rather open up one’s mind to become a flexible thinker, allowing one to create human…

Contemporary English playwright Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound (1968) not only stands as a successor to Restoration playwright Richard Sheridan’s The Critic (1781) but does so without appearing as a mere doppelgänger and, instead, adds a new sense of depth with a critique of critics brought about by madness and facing one’s identity. The parallels drawn between the two plays do not mimic one another so much as present a multitude of ideas in a similar fashion. One of the major…

There are many factors in George's early life that led to him being one not easily tempted by wrong. Growing up on the streets of Newark, NJ offered him many opportunities to succumb to the negative pressures of the ghetto. Had he grown up in a different home with different people, George would probably not be the man he is today, or even be at all. Children, under the wrong influences, can live carelessly, in which they are reckless with their lives, and in some unfortunate cases, lose them.…

In this essay, I will explore what accounting and finance is and why I have chosen to study it at the University of Birmingham. Accounting and finance are two separate disciplines that have some similar characteristics. The main difference between accounting and finance is that finance focuses on the present and future whereas accounting focuses on the past (Aspillera, 2014). The University of Birmingham is amongst the top providers for accounting and finance due to its credibility,…

I agree with you the University is not failing to respect equality rights about sexual orientation. The primary cause is that Trinity Western is a private, Christian faith-based university legislated by British Columbia to aid the public. And the mission of this University is developing “Godly Christian leaders” while providing many educational programs. I can get a line here that two different rights under the Charter are colliding with each other. The equality right for lesbian or gay and…
