Rosalind Brewer is the Chief Executive Officer of Sam’s Club. However, many do not know that her undergraduate area of study was chemistry. After graduating from Spelman College in 1984, Brewer took a job as a chemist with Kimberly-Clark, working in a lab. (Daniels). Five years later, she made the transition to the business side. She worked at Kimberly-Clark for twenty-two years. She gradually became the president of the global nonwoven fabrics business. In 2006, Walmart invited her to head stores

Mathematics is a versatile and always changing subject as people research and theorize new ideas. Calvin Clawson proclaimed that “the single most compelling reason to explore the world of mathematics is that it is beautiful, and pondering its intriguing ideas is great fun” (2). To make this subject easier to explore, teachers should be implementing the history of mathematics into mathematics education. They should do so because of the numerous benefits that it would yield to students and teachers

Do you ever wish you could click the reset button many times in your life? It might’ve been something you wish you could’ve changed, but you can’t and now you’re faced with that setback/regret. It all started in sophomore year when I was assigned to an Algebra 2 & Trigonometry class. Each year my math course was getting harder and harder to deal with. Algebra 2/Trigonometry was a math course I couldn’t understand. Mathematics isn’t my best subject and even though I get good grades I expect more

Algebra is not an easy subject for many people. It is full of letters, numbers, and rules mixed together to represent real life problems that are hard to swallow for anyone who doesn’t look at the world from the perspective of a mathematician. In his essay, “Wrong Answer: A Case Against Algebra II”, Nicholson Baker addresses this problem and explains why he thinks Algebra II should not be seen as a staple in the education of High school students. The essay begins with the creation of Algebra in 1545

Thinking in interdisciplinary terms as I research, the topic of the effectiveness of online mathematics education, has proved to be both challenging and enlightening. Defining a topic was the first challenge I encountered. Initially, I planned to research the topic of online education effectiveness in the general sense; unfortunately, what I found was that there was not a lot information available that would enable me to find documentation from my two concentration areas of mathematics and informatics

The rules that were explained here are that of the course and do not reflect the policies in the textbook. In relation to arithmetic calculations, Silberberg's rules are both similar from the course's. For multiplying/division, the two rules are the same: the answer should contain the least amount of significant figures used in the calculation. In addition/division, the answer

To many people and cultures, the topic of numbers may seem to have limited to a nonexistent symbolic relationship or importance. Numbers seem to have the sole purpose to act in mathematics. Many people would not consider a number to be the center of their actions or daily thoughts. Regardless, the Maya people holds one number above all near and dear to its heart. The number four in Maya culture and literature keeps recurring in many texts. The two primary examples of addressing the importance of

Literature is a key element for a young child’s learning process. It can be essential in elementary students understanding of mathematics topics. Language arts, social studies, and science instruction commonly uses literature. At times it can be overlooked when teaching or planning lessons for mathematics. Mathematics instruction tends to have a high emphasis on using manipulatives or workbooks. Literature does not tend to be at the top of the resource list (Golden, 2012). While books can be
