Introduction: What is the business rationale for making the technology investment? This is one of the most important questions to ask. Almost all companies depend on some technology solution to deliver goods and services. Investing in new technologies for the sake of having the latest up-to-date systems, just does not seem to cut it in the minds of most industry executives, nor does trying to rationalize a major technology investment solely on the basis of reducing ongoing maintenance costs of

motivate them to expand on what they have learned. Teaching the concept of integers and number theory is a fundamental part of math curriculum. The ability of a professional mathematics teacher to tie in real world experiences, using hand on activities and manipulatives is essential in enabling students to build on mathematic ideas and understand how they interconnect. Also important is the concept of rational numbers as fractions, decimals, and real numbers. Teachers need to help ease the transition

CASE: Crocs, Inc. 1. Which comparable company is a useful peer for valuation purposes as of the case date? Will it continue to be a good match into the future? Lululemon is a useful peer for valuation purposes as of the case date. There are three main factors to determine a useful peer. First one is comparable growth. Fiscal year 2006 sales growth of Crocs had been %227 and growth of over %130 was likely for fiscal year 2007. On the other side, compound annual growth rate of sales of Lululemon is

Felix Christian Klein Felix Christian Klein was born on April 25, 1849 (O’Conner and Robertson). Felix Klein was born in Düsseldorf, Prussia, which is now present day Germany. Also, known as Felix Klein, he was a mathematician known for his research in non-Euclidean geometry, group theory, and function theory (Felix Klein German Mathematician). Felix Klein’s father was part of the Prussian government. His father was secretary to the head of the government. After Felix Klein graduated from the

Value of Human Life Though our society has adapted and developed, inequality remains prevalent all around the world. Our society assigns value to human live based on ethnicity and gender. Currently around the world there are over 30 million slaves in which 60,000 are in the United States. Even though slavery has been abolished in nearly every country many people still measure the value of individuals in cents and dollars. Should life be calculated in terms of money? How should we as a society

What makes a person considered a genius? All of our opinions are different on what we think a genius is. For example, Einstein and Mozart were both considered geniuses but Mozart's talent came naturally where as Einstein had mentors help him along the way. Pythagoras was known as the first pure mathematician. So was Pythagoras considered a genius? Pythagoras was most well-known for what we know today as the Pythagorean Theorem and also that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is equal to two

African mathematics has been around for thousands of years. Africa is known to be the country that takes part in the earliest use of mathematics that includes both measuring and calculating. Africa is also one of the places where both basic and advanced mathematics were originated. Much of the math that is used by human beings today was used a long time ago in Africa. Math such as algebra and geometry that are used by us today, were used by the Africans back then. African math was then transferred

A mathematical model is an idealisation of a real problem. Mathematical models also allow predictions to be made in studies. These models are usually expressed in functions. Graphs are then plotted from these functions and will be analysed. The mathematical model that will be studied in this investigation is mainly the cubic function. Cubic functions are equations that are expressed in the form of f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+d where a≠0 and a,b,c and d are constants. There are usually two stationary points and

In writing this paper I have found that I have merely scratched the surface on several different aspects of the Four Color Problem (or the “Four Color Theorem” as it is often referred to, as well.) However, as you will see, I briefly touched on several key points such as the history of the problem and where it originated. After doing some research I was able to find information on some of the most influential men that put their hearts and minds into solving or proving the Four Colors Theorem.

The lottery is one of the oldest known game of chance, dating all the way back to 205 B.C. in the Han Dynasty. Being built upon pure luck, it has garnered attention all over the world in it's various forms of existence. After money began its association with the lottery in l443, it became even more popular worldwide. While existing in multiple forms, the most popular form of lottery is the randomly selected number method, where winnings are based on the correct numbers predicted. It is estimated
