The Math Hidden In Your Living Room

April 5th, 2008

A question that vexes math students and teachers alike - “How does this
apply to the rest of my life?” - turns out to have some surprising
answers. Geometry in the living room? Statistics in your ledger? Yes,
and yes.

One place where math affects almost everyone, of
course, is the pocketbook. Anyone who has undertaken a home decorating
or remodeling project knows just how much our plans are constrained
(and sometimes inspired) by the need to stay within budget! What many
people don’t know is that a little knowledge of geometry can help you
do exactly that.

Laying carpet is one of the basic
home-decorating tasks, and it becomes immensely easier when you keep in
mind the formula we all learned in sophomore geometry: A = L x W (area
equals length times width). By measuring the length and width of your
floor, then multiplying them against each other, you find out exactly
how much carpet you need.

But wait! What if you live in a
geodesic dome? (Well, it could happen.) Or, more likely, what if you
have a circular alcove at the end of one room? Most of us learned the
formula for figuring a circle in high school (and many of us then,
having taken the test, promptly forgot it), but here it comes to the
rescue: A = (pi) X r2 (area equals pi times the radius squared).
“Radius” is half the circle’s diameter (its length at its widest part),
and “squared” simply means multiplying a number by itself.

Math Education: A Challenge And A Joy

April 4th, 2008

Don’t worry about your difficulties with math, Albert Einstein is said
to have told a schoolgirl who wrote to him to lament her lack of
success in the subject - “Mine,” he wrote, “are still greater.” Like
many of Einstein’s off-the-cuff remarks, this one contains a profound
truth. Math is the sort of subject that increases in complexity the
more you understand it; as the diameter of your knowledge grows, so
does the circumference of your ignorance.
 
Some educators see
this expanding difficulty as a hurdle to overcome, but in fact, it’s
exactly the quality that causes many young people to fall in love with
math. After all, a young football player’s love of the game often
increases in proportion to the toughness of the competition; and video
game fans actively seek out greater difficulty - the only game they
won’t play is the one that fails to increase in difficulty with each
level cleared. The fact is that children love to solve problems; the
problem - and opportunity - lies in the fact that schools often fail to
tap into this intellectual curiosity, and sometimes even stultify it.

Saving Our Dropouts By Saving Math: Math Grades May Predict Who Survives High School

April 4th, 2008

Research conducted in 2005 by Johns Hopkins University and the
Philadelphia Education Fund revealed that as many as half of all
Philadelphia high school dropouts showed signs predicting their early
departure from school as early as the sixth grade. Four factors were
essential in forecasting these AWOL students: low attendance, poor
behavior, failing math, and failing English grades. Such research is
indispensable in the fight to raise America’s educational standards and
to help struggling students conquer their academic nemeses.

Zero: Sometimes Nothing Is Something

April 4th, 2008

What’s in a number? In the case of the number zero, quite a bit. The
story of this humblest of numbers - after all, it stands for nothing -
is so interesting that in recent years several journalists have written
popular books tracing its history. Friendships have been ended,
philosophical battles engaged in, heretics excommunicated, and
battleships sunk - all because of zero.
 
As Charles Seife points
out in one of the best of these books, Zero: The Biography Of A
Dangerous Idea, the concept of zero was developed by Babylonian
mathematicians. Earlier peoples had no idea of the concept of zero, and
no use for it. The most ancient civilizations seem to have used no
numbers except
“one”, “two”, and “many”. But the Babylonians used
the abacus - a sort of ancient computer in which pebbles are arranged
into different columns to keep track of amounts - to figure large
numbers.

“Adding numbers on an abacus,” Seife writes, “is as
simple as moving the stones up and down. Stones in different columns
have different values, and by manipulating them a skilled user can add
large numbers with great speed.”

Math Answers That Can Save You Money

April 4th, 2008

Everyone knows that saving money is about the numbers.  The math
formula for savings ultimately comes down to how much you earn minus
how much you spend.  Here are a few math tips to help you spend less
and save money.

Unit Pricing
Learning unit pricing can save
you in shopping.  Although many stores have unit pricing labels on
shelves, you can still compare prices by doing the unit pricing
calculations yourself.  Calculate the unit price of an item by dividing
the price of the package by the unit by which it is measured.  For
instance, a 13-ounce can of coffee which costs $2.69 costs $2.69/13 per
ounce, or a little more than $.20 per ounce.  Compared to a 34-ounce
can of that same coffee costing $5,69, the smaller can is about two
cents more expensive per ounce than the larger can, which weighs in at
about sixteen cents per ounce.

Organizing Time
When making appointments, use a planner such as a calendar and allow sufficient time for transitions and breaks from work.
