...Overview and examples from Finite Mathematics Using Microsoft Excel® Revathi Narasimhan Saint Peter's College An electronic supplement to Finite Mathematics and Its Applications, 6th Ed. , by Goldstein, Schneider, and Siegel, Prentice Hall, 1997 Introduction In any introductory mathematics course designed for non-mathematics majors, it is important for the student to understand and apply mathematical ideas in a variety of contexts. With the increased use of advanced software in all fields, it is also important for the student to effectively interact with the new technology. Our goal is to integrate these two objectives in a supplement for the text Finite Mathematics and Its Applications, by Goldstein, Schneider, and Siegel. The package consists of interactive tutorials and projects in an Excel workbook format. The software platform used is the Microsoft Excel 5.0 spreadsheet. It was chosen for the following reasons: • • • suited to applications encountered in a finite math course widespread use outside of academia ease of creating reports with a professional look Use of Excel 5.0 was put into effect in the author's sections of the Finite Mathematics II course in the Spring 1996 semester. It was expanded to cover the Finite Mathematics I course for the Fall semester of 1996. Using a combination of specially designed projects and tutorials, students are able to analyze data, draw conclusions, and present their analysis in a professional format. The mathematical...

...Alex Montes Veronica Dominguez College Algebra 1414 March 25, 2008 Rene Descartes René Descartes was a highly influential French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and writer. He has been dubbed the "Father of Modern Philosophy" and the "Father of Modern Mathematics."But famous for his saying, "Cogito ergo sum - I think, therefore I am," which is used in Philosphy. His influence in mathematics is also apparent, the Cartesian coordinate system that is used in plane geometry and algebra being named for him, and he was one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution. As the inventor of the Cartesian coordinate system, Descartes founded analytic geometry, the bridge between algebra and geometry, crucial to the invention of calculus and analysis. One of Descartes most enduring legacies was his development of Cartesian geometry, the algebraic system taught in schools today. He also created exponential notation, indicated by numbers written in what is now referred to as superscript (x²). Descartes was born in La Haye en Touraine, Indre-et-Loire, France. When he was one year old, his mother Jeanne Brochard died of tuberculosis. His father Joachim was a judge in the High Court of Justice. At the age of eleven, he entered the Jesuit College Royal Henry-Le-Grand at La Fleche. After graduation, he studied at the University of Poitiers, earning a Baccalaureat and License in law in 1616, in accordance with his father's wishes that he should become a lawyer. Descartes never...

It can also effect emotions and patterns of thinking, it can impart ideas and ideologies, powerfully and emotionally conveying a certain way of life. Paragraph 7 states something similar, “Music can be used in a positive way to bridge gaps, to create a bond between people who might otherwise have little in common. It can convey a message of peace and brotherhood, relax, soothe. But for teens music doesn’t act as just a way to relax or make new friends. Music has been connected to youth developing greater language capacity as well as a greater adeptness in the ability to learn a new language when they play an instrument, as said in paragraph 13. The extent of positives ranges when you’re involved in musical classes, playing a musical instrument is also beneficial school wise. As states in source b playing a musical instrument and or having music related classes can lead to significantly higher levels of mathematic proficiency and much higher test scores on the verbal and mathematic...
