Background of the study The computer as we know it today had its beginning with a 19th century English mathematics professor name Charles Babbage. He designed the Analytical Engine and it was this design that the basic framework of the computers of today are based on. Generally speaking, computers can be classified into three generations. Each generation lasted for a certain period of time,and each gave us either a new and improved computer or an improvement to the existing computer. First generation:

We hear the question all the time in the classroom “how will this help us in real life?” Students learn 12 to 13 years of such things as trigonometry, biology and sociology, but what have the schools done to prepare the students for real life? For the first 18 years of a student's life they are cradled, parents take care of taxes and most of the financial responsibilities. As soon as that 18th birthday hits a load of financial decisions are needed to be made, with little to no prior experiences.

and always listening to the teacher; he obeys all and every rule there is. In the first few chapters after Gene and his best friend -Finny- arise from their sleep on the beach the morning Gene has his test, he returns to the school to take his trigonometry test, which he fails; hence he was unable to study the night before. When he

caused us to leave much of the thinking process to machines and devices. However, I believe otherwise. The scientific calculator is an example of technology because it can carry out complicated calculations involving trigonometry and quadratic equations in a matter of a few seconds. Most secondary students are allowed to use the calculator in the national Maths exams. As most students become more comfortable with using the calculator, they

This insight into John’s academic skill is hinted at when he makes a comment that he “could care less about trigonometry.” I, on the other hand, was an absolute dream student when it came to grades. I was one of those kids who never had to study in order to ace a test. In fact, I was able to skip school for an entire week, walk in for a test, and breeze right through

Sarangapani Street in a traditional home in the town of Kumbakonam. Born in Erode, Madras Presidency, to a poor Brahmin family, Ramanujan first encountered formal mathematics at age 10. He demonstrated a natural ability, and was given books on advanced trigonometry written by S. L. Loney.[2] He mastered them by age 12, and even discovered theorems of his own, including independently re-discovering Euler's identity.By 17, Ramanujan conducted his own mathematical research on Bernoulli numbers and the Euler–Mascheroni

As we grow up people expect us to just know what we’re going to be as adults. What we are going to do when you grow up, How we’re going to act like grown-ups. But they never actually teach us how to be grown-ups. High School's should be focusing on more important classes such as teaching us how to do our own taxes, how to keep our credit score up, how to save. Instead, once we learn algebra, algebra two, geometry we have to continue on with pre-Calc and other things we may not even need to know
