I'm looking forward to helping pull together a White House Math Initiative. Are you available to join a call the week of July 11 (next week) or the week of July 18 (following week) to discuss what such an initiative might look like? The best time for me would be between 9 a.m. - 12 noon EDT. After receiving an invitation from Megan Smith in April 2016 to come to DC for the summer to upgrade math learning for the country, I’ve been thinking about and brainstorming ideas with about a dozen math

A SECURE MOBILE VOTING SYSTEM USING FINGERPRINT U.Rajkumar, H.Karunakaran, B.karthikeyan, M.venkatesh, rajkuamrudhaya@gmail.com, karunakaranit17@gmail.com , G.Revathi M.E. , revugovind@gmail.com, Department of Information Technology, V.S.B Engineering College, Karur. Abstract- The heart of the democracy is solely depending on the voting. The voting is the right for every citizen in the nation. The fingerprint shows the most promising future in real-world applications. Because of their uniqueness

Our world is replete with patterns, and these can be found in all areas of knowledge and ways of knowing with various applications ranging from architectural tessellations, weather predictions, creating rhythm, and dictating a logical syntax for this very sentence. As individuals perceive the world, the connections they have constructed from their experiences provides them a sense of predictability, and perhaps even aesthetic appeal and uniformity. That aside, these patterns would not always reflect
