...Final Project: Math Used in the Paralegal Profession Misty Kenter Kaplan University MM150 Prof. Mowen May 21, 2011 INTRODUCTION This paper is on what kind of math I will be using in my chosen profession. My chosen profession is the paralegal profession. I know that I will not need to know a lot of math for this profession. As a paralegal professional I will be using math every day. I will be using math for everything from keeping track of billable hours to estimating damages in a lawsuit. I will need to know basic math, basic algebra, and first year algebra. Basic math and basic algebra consists of addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions, decimals, percentages, and negative numbers (www.xpmath.com). First year algebra consists of using formulas (www.xpmath.com). In this paper I will explain in detail the math that I would use in the four different types of law offices for a paralegal professional that I am interested in. These types of law offices are family law, civil litigation, probate and estate law, and criminal law. Family Law In a family law office I would use basic math and first year algebra. I would be using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and a formula set by the courts to calculate child support and spousal support payments. I also would be using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to figure out how much the marital property is worth and how much each party would get if the clients decide to sell the property...

...Math and Me Vanessa Bashore MM212: College Algebra “We both just did out fives yesterday, how can she be doing her sixes already today?” I can remember thinking this like it was yesterday instead of 29 years ago. I was in first grade, and we were doing our times tables. I had been the first one to do all of my numbers so far in the class, and now Sara was up there doing her sixes before I knew them. That would just not do for me, so that night I went home and learned the rest of my numbers, six through nine, to be able to do them for the teacher the very next day. I guess you can say that this is where my love for math started. I am not saying that I never had to study or that I have never struggled with any math in my life, but for the most part, most of the math classes I have taken in my life have come pretty easily to me. I love when you are struggling with something in math and all of a sudden you have that a-ha moment where everything suddenly makes sense. In the past I have taken all the basics in math including Algebra and Geometry. However, these courses were also taken almost 20 years ago, and I have to admit that I am a bit rusty when it comes to all of the formulas and properties. Even though I may not remember all of the formulas, I still consider my previous courses a success. I may not remember the exact formula, but I do remember that the formulas exist and it is just a matter of looking the formula up and plugging in the right numbers to get the correct...

...block Mrs. D would help me all the time and I still had hard times with the lessons. I really liked the project that we had to draw whatever we want it but with math operations because you had to work and think hard in order to get the drawing perfect. Sometimes I did not like how time went to fast and I did not understand the lesson and there was no time but next day Mrs. D would help but I felt like a I had a lot of stuff to do because I did not get the lesson. I did not enjoy how we had to have a limit of bathroom passes because I drink water throughout the whole day and sometimes I ranned out of passes and had to be asking other classmates if I could have one. This year in Algebra II have learned a lot of new things that I thought I would never learn which are very difficult to me but I think I tried a lot but it just did not stick to my head. My classmates were awesome I can’t complain about anything in this class everyone was great including my teacher very helpful. My performance in Algebra II think it was ok overall, I struggled a lot because the lessons for me were super difficult and sometimes I was lazy but most of the time I always went to Mrs. D for help and at he my parents would help on whatever they could. My major goals for next year is to try my hardest even thou I’m not going to have math but in the classes I’m going to have I will try to have A’s and B’s with all my classes and try to put more effort. I would like to thank my teacher and my classmates...

...The Cartesian Plane Before the end of the European Renaissance, math was cleanly divided into the two separate subjects of geometry and algebra. You didn't use algebraic equations in geometry, and you didn't draw any pictures in algebra. Then, around 1637, a French guy named René Descartes (pronounced "ray-NAY day-CART") came up with a way to put these two subjects together. Rene Descartes was born on March 31, 1596, in Touraine, France. He was entered into Jesuit College at the age of eight, where he studied for about eight years. Although he studied the classics, logic and philosophy, Descartes only found mathematics to be satisfactory in reaching the truth of the science of nature. He then received a law degree in 1616. Thereafter, Descartes chose to join the army and served from 1617-1621. Descartes resigned from the army and traveled extensively for five years. During this period, he continued studying pure mathematics. Finally, in 1628, he devoted his life to seeking the truth about the science of nature. At that point, he moved to Holland and remained there for twenty years, dedicating his time to philosophy and mathematics. During this time, Descartes had his work "Meditations on First Philosophy" published. It was in this work that he introduced the famous phrase "I think, therefore I am." Descartes hoped to use this statement to find truth by the use of reason. He sought to take complex ideas and break them down into simpler ones that were clear...

...Distributive Property Kimberly Smith MAT 221 Introductions to Algebra Instructor: Andrew Halverson February 15,2014 I will be using distributive property to solve how properties of real numbers are used while I simplified the three given expression. To solve these three math problem I will use the distributive property to remove the parentheses in the problem. I will also combine like terms by adding coefficients and add or subtract when needed. Finally I would have my answer and then decide if the answer is simplified, if not I will simplify. The solving of properties of real number the properties of real numbers are important to know in all subjects, even complex numbers, because many of the properties are shared. Additionally the argument to any equation in algebra is real; therefore, algebraic expressions only manipulate reals (that is, if you have integer coefficients and no radicals). 1. 2a(a-5)+4(a-5) = The given expression 2a^2-10a+4a-20 = I will use the distributive property to remove parentheses so I can combine like terms by adding coefficient. 2a^2-6a-20 = Is simplified no combine like terms by adding coefficients 2a^2-6a-20 = Answer 2. 2w – 3 + 3(w – 4) – 5(w – 6)= The given expression 2w - 3 + 3(w - 4) - 5(w - 6) = Distributive property removes parentheses 2w - 3 + 3w - 12 - 5w + 30 = Combine like terms 2w + 3w - 5w - 3 -12 + 30 = Combine like terms by adding coefficients and add and subtract to get sum.

...developed the concept of the algorithm in mathematics. He also made major contributions to the fields of algebra, trigonometry, astronomy, geography and cartography. (biographybase.com) His systematic and logical approach to solving linear and quadratic equations gave shape to the discipline of algebra. Mathematics is the metaphor against which all other sciences are checked according to Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī. Sciences “like astronomy and physics could not have developed without the foundation of mathematics and algebra” (themuslimtimes.org) by him and other Muslim mathematicians and astronomers. He was the author of about a half dozen astronomical works, including a book well known in the mathematics world entitled Al-jabr w'al muqabala that gave the name al-jabr to the branch of mathematics that is now known by its modern spelling as algebra. (bookrags.com) Al-Khwarizmi's algebra was based on the earlier work of the Hindu mathematician Brahmagupta. His work was also influence from Babylonia and Greek mathematics. Al-Khwarizmi “may not have invented algebra” (themuslimtimes.org) in the modern sense, the credit goes to the Hindus for first practicing this mathematical art, but he did introduced algebra to the West. He was dazzled by Hindu mathematics. Seeing the vast potential of its numeric and decimal systems, he “wrote several works that introduced Hindu math to Islam”...

...Math History Essay Math is a subject I enjoy doing. Every day when I come home from school, it is the very first thing I do. Math is by far my favorite subject. It is more exciting than memorizing facts or writing an essay. Math involves thinking and solving, and I like to think through and solve problems. Even though math is not my strongest suit, I still enjoy doing anything related to it. Interest in taking Pre-Cal began during my freshman year. Two years ago, I took Geometry and fell in love with it. I enjoyed everything from proofs to finding the area of a shape. I remember people complaining how difficult Geometry was and thinking the exact opposite. By the end of freshman year, I was sad that Geometry was coming to an end. However, I was informed that Pre-Cal is similar to Geometry and is offered my junior year. Ever since then, I could not wait for Algebra 2 to be over. I also decided to take this class because it will build the foundation needed for Calculus the following year. To be successful in Pre-Cal this year, I will try my best to spare time to review notes I took the day before. I will also spend time with a study group so I can get advice by my peers. Whenever I have unanswered questions and cannot contact a teacher, I can rely on my friends who can explain and guide me along the right answer. As a teacher, you can walk around the class when there is extra time to do homework to easily answer questions that I may have regarding the assignment. Each...
