DECIMAL data type
Decimal is a numeric data type used with
|DECIMAL||Numeric data type ideally used for decimal numbers where the exact scale is known.|
|SCALE||Constraint that determines the number of digits of precision to store after the decimal point. integer value of zero or more. Defaults to two (2)|
- Values added to a column with DECIMAL data type are truncated to the stated number of decimal places.
- Users should round their values prior to ingestion.
- STRING values added to Columns with DECIMAL data type are parsed as floats where possible
- Aggregate and range queries work best with DECIMAL data types.
- Use STRING data type if you intend to run queries to group by or search for distinct values.

For kids, summertime means water parks and baseball games. However, Texas State University’s Mathworks Summer Camp
aims to bring a little educational fun to the summer months.
It can be surprising how excited students become about facing a challenge like algebra head on.
"At first it was a little hard figuring out what XY and all those letters meant, but I got the hang of it." camper Emma Berg said.
The students are taught by Texas State University faculty and mentored by undergraduate counselors.
They are also engaged in original research projects that involve some degree of advanced mathematics, which lets them learn to actively think on their own.
Max Warshauer is a math professor at Texas State. He also works as a mentor at the camp.
"They learn problem solving, they learn math, they learn algebra, they learn some geometry. It's a combination of all of those things, but really they learn to think carefully and deeply about problems while having fun doing it," he said.
Mathworks was created 20 years ago with the goal to help students explore math beyond just the basics.
News 8's parent company, Time Warner Cable, has developed its own program to get students excited about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

An Introduction to Graph Theory, Using Gephi
Author: Ali Zaidi
Have you ever wondered how Google Maps works? How does the application calculate the fastest route for you, and how does it do this so quickly? The answer might surprise you – at the backbone of these navigational applications and software is graph theory.
Graph theory encompasses the study of how different things connect using mathematics, and was first studied by famous mathematician, Leonhard Euler.
Euler introduced the idea of graph theory after he encountered the Königsberg bridge problem. You can see an image of the bridge below from Euler’s paper Solutio problematis ad geometriam situs pertinentis, published in 1741.
The city of Königsberg had seven bridges, which connected four bodies of land. The problem involved finding a way to traverse these bridges in such a way that a person could cross each bridge just once and return to the point of origin. After walking the path, Euler made a vertex, or node, as it is referred to in current graph theory, wherever there was a body of land. He marked each bridge that connected the two bodies of land as an edge, also known as a connection between vertices. (To relate this to Google maps – it would be similar to placing one vertex at your current location and one at your intended destination, with the edge being the route between those points.) By placing vertices and edges on the bridge, Euler was able to understand that the bridge problem was unsolvable – it was impossible to accomplish this task in the way it was designed.
However, Euler was able to propose a generalization of his solution. He stated that if there are more than two landmasses and an odd number of associated bridges – there is no way to go through each bridge just once and return to the starting point. If there are an odd number of bridges between two land masses, then if you start in one these of these landmasses you can complete the journey. This constituted the beginning of the eulerian graph. From here, Sir William Rowan Hamilton developed the hamiltonian graph. Later, advancements in graph theory led to the development of trees, which are ubiquitous in modern day Computer Science.
From Euler’s solution, current graph theory was developed and expanded upon. We can use the nodes and edges that Euler first described to model complex relationships and develop solutions like the one Google Maps uses. In Google Maps, we place a node every time there is an intersection, stop sign, traffic light, or other point of interest that we would like to model. From there, by connecting these nodes together using edges, we can use graph theory to find the shortest number of edges needed to traverse two nodes. Other interesting applications of graph theory include modeling and understanding Nigerian scammers, social media, investing, and more.
Today, we’re going to look at how we can use Gephi, an open-source network analysis visualization software tool, to model the famous French novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. Gephi allows us to visualize, filter, and analyze networks with a variety of in-built statistical techniques. We can use graph theory to model the relationships between each character in the novel. Every time we see two characters interact, we’ll note that interaction as an edge and the characters as the vertices or nodes. We can use the network graph results to better understand the character interactions and identify the most important characters. Without even reading the book, I can use network theory to figure out which characters are most likely the main characters based on the diversity of character interactions.
Let’s start by downloading Gephi – you can do so using this link. Once Gephi is downloaded, launch the application. You’ll get a starting screen that looks something similar to this:
Today – we will use the Les Miserables.gexf file that is already loaded within Gephi to make it easy to use today’s tutorial. Under Samples on the screenshot above – you can see that we have three options. Click the ‘Les Miserables.gexf’ file.
We will then get a screen that looks like this.
Here we will be able to change the way that Gephi reads in the data if we want to. For now we will keep the default options and then hit ‘OK’. Let’s understand what is written above – the two important pieces of information involve the ‘# of Nodes’ value and the ‘# of Edges’ value. The nodes are the characters in Les Misérables and the edges are the interactions between them. Once we’ve loaded in the data, click the Overview tab at the top to get an interactive view of the network.
This looks good, except we have no idea what the labels on our nodes are. Let’s change that by clicking the grayed-out T at the bottom of the graph window. Adjust the font size and boldness by clicking the options to the right of the T.
After we go to the Overview tab and make these changes, we see that the largest node is of the main character, Jean Valjean. This makes sense as we would assume the main character of a novel has the most interactions with other characters in the same novel. We can also identify other important characters using this method without having read the book.
To look at our data, click the Data Laboratory tab on the top of the screen, and you’ll be able to access a screen that looks like the image above. This shows us the different nodes that represent each character from the novel. The edges are of varying thickness, signifying how often the characters connected by that edge are seen interacting. The thicker the edge, the more those two characters interact. We’ll also see that many characters never interact with each other.
If we click the Edges tab in the top menu, we’ll get a view showing us the edges in our data. We can add, delete, or search for specific nodes or edges using this Data Laboratory view.
How can we analyze the data? Let’s start by filtering our nodes such that we only see characters that interact with 5 other characters. Go back to the Overview tab. Now click in the Filters pane and click on Topology. There should be a drop down that will allow you to drag the Degree Range filter into the queries section below.
After you have dragged the Degree Range filter into the Queries section and hit the filter button, you will get a slider that looks like this. This slider allows you to adjust which nodes you want; currently we are seeing every node from our data. If I raise the slider from 1 to 10, then I will see all nodes where each node had at least 5 edges with other nodes.
We see that the graph we have now is much smaller than the original. It’s likely that nodes that touch a lot of other nodes will be characters that are more important.
Lastly, how can we gain statistical insight from our graph? In the side bar, click the Statistics tab. I can calculate the average path length, or length of the edges using the Statistics tab. If we were mapping a dataset of geographic points instead of a novel, we could calculate the average distance between the nodes and create a very basic version of Google Maps.
Using network analysis and graph theory can help model the relationships around us, regardless of the type of data or problem we’re working with. The applications are limitless, extending to literature, finance, geographical data, and more. In this example, we saw how to use graph theory to model the relationships in the novel Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo. Without having read the novel, we are able to analyze and identify the main characters, filter the characters based on their number of interactions with other characters, and calculate the average path distance between characters.

We have each other’s blood on our hands.
And in our veins.
Husserl apparently marveled that “2+2=4” is true, everywhere and always, whether beings exist who are capable of comprehending it or not. It’s an ineluctably true statement.
If so, then “2+2=4 is true everywhere and always, whether beings exist who are capable of understanding it or not” is also an ineluctably true statement. And that one isn’t about math. This leads me to suspect a problem.
Has Husserl made a distinction between the statement as statement and the “fact” to which the statement is a pointer? I don’t know. The statement is not true in itself. The statement becomes true in reference to a system of language that defines the meaning of its terms. In mathematics, in the base ten system (and obviously others, but not all), the statement 2+2=4 is true—by definition. There is no requirement for the concepts marked by “2,” “4,” “+,” or “=” to have any extension in material reality. And in other contexts the statement may either be false or nonsense, even where those five concepts have meaning.
So what Husserl is (presumably) noticing is that the concepts in question are such at that other beings elsewhere in the universe would, in theory, with time identify them, would come up with a mathematics which recognized number precisely as we do and also combination and equality. And it is because of the nature or facts of the universe that this would (or always in theory could) happen. Our math has done such a good job helping us understand and control our world that it must correspond in an essential way to what the world is so that any intelligent beings given time would also discover the same math. (Or if not, and we found them, we could teach them our math and they would understand it and acknowledge its truth.)
But it seems to me the claim is highly homocentric. It implies that the rightness of our math exists independent of the perspective of the people who invented/discovered and deploy it on the world. Question: If you did not (and for some imaginable reason could not) see the world in terms of numbers, would our math from your perspective be true? Might you be able to describe and control the world using some system of knowledge that is not mathematical? We don’t know what that would be. It might be something like direct apprehension and what we would have to call intuition, as a bird creates a nest without math, but a bird that could explain what he’s doing.
There is reason to believe that the concept of number is not natural. Humans everywhere seem to develop some sort of number system for their own use, with obvious similarities (and real differences). But they are all humans. We humans tend to invent the borders between things and then to believe that those borders are real borders. We count the number of mushrooms in the circle without realizing that they are no more distinct mushrooms than the individual feet of a centipede are distinct creatures.
There are times when it is useful to count them and to limit them, but there is always something false in that act.
That statement “2+2=4” and the statement “2+2=4 is true everywhere and always, whether beings exist who are capable of understanding it or not” may be useful anywhere in the universe under certain conditions. But neither one is simply ineluctably true.

Betting Odds Types
Odds for various outcomes of a sports event in a single (ordinary) bet can be presented by a bookmaker in different formats:
- European (decimal)
- English (fractional)
- Hong Kong, and others.
The European format , also known as decimal , is typically used in continental Europe, Canada, and Australia. In the decimal format, the odds represent the ratio of the total payout to the bet amount. To determine your potential winnings, you simply multiply your bet amount by the decimal odds. If the odds are 2.00, it means an even chance bet, and if one side wins, the net winnings will be the same as the other side would have received if the match or game had gone in their favor.
The English format of odds ( fractional ) is commonly used by bookmakers in the United Kingdom. It is calculated as the ratio of net winnings to the bet amount. Odds of 1/1 correspond to an even chance bet.
The American format is predominantly used in the United States. In this system, the odds represent the net profit you can make when betting 100 units with positive odds, and the amount you need to bet to win 100 units with negative odds. If the odds are 100, it's an even chance bet.
Bookmakers in the Asian market most often use formats like Hong Kong, Malaysian, and Indonesian odds. These odds are designed to predict the hypothetical outcome of a sports event with an assumed probability of the outcome, allowing for risk-free betting.

A Series of Middle-Grade Mystery Novels by John Madormo
Charlie here. Charlie Collier, Snoop for Hire, that is. I can't begin to tell you how many hundreds of brain teasers I've solved in my time. It might have been a riddle that Henry tries to stump me with at lunch in the cafeteria...or a science brain buster that Mrs. Jansen poses in class...or a real brain wobbler that presents itself in the midst of a full-blown investigation. Whatever the circumstances, I'm ready. I just call upon my amazing deductive reasoning skills, and in no time, the problem's solved.
Do you think you have what it takes to become a real private eye? You think so, huh? Okay, let's find out. Here are a few of my favorite brain teasers. See how you do.
1) A man has contracted a disease, and needs some medicine. He goes to one of the
following farmers to get some medicine: Farmer A, Farmer B or Farmer C. Who did he
go to, and why?
(This brain teaser was submitted by Edmund, a Charlie Collier fan living in Singapore)
2) Name the only place where the U.S. flag is flown 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
without ever being raised, lowered, or saluted.
3) Where's the only place on Earth where Friday comes before Thursday?
4) How many months have 28 days?
5) If four peacocks lay four eggs in four days, how many can one peacock lay in eight
6) How much dirt is there in a hole that is four feet deep with a diameter of three feet?
7) Why are round manhole covers safer than square ones?
8) A rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat and just barely touches the water. The
rungs of the ladder are six inches apart. If the tide rises three feet, how many rungs will
be under water?
9) How many times can you subtract the number 5 from the number 100?
10) If June equals 50, and July equals 68, then what would August equal?


The program RegressionTools allows performing regressions that are far beyond the capabilities of the Online Regression Tools:
- It can perform regressions without limitations in the number of variables and with hundreds of thousands and even millions of rows (the exact number depends on the regression type, number of variables, degree...).
- It is a console program (for Windows) with the command-line parameters specifying the regression to perform, which allows executing it from other programs (for example to perform many regressions automatically). A launcher (batch file) is provided for an easier specification of the parameters and launching.
- It reads the input from a file, shows the output and writes it to a file.
- Supported regression types: Linear Regression (LR), Polynomial Regression (PR), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Multiple Polynomial Regression (MPR).
- It has many term selection options, so that specific terms can be selected (for example excluding/including terms in a MPR).
- It supports weighted regressions with any regression type.
- It supports equality constraints (fixed points) with any regression type.
- It supports least-norm regressions (selecting the norm and performing a minimization of the norm of residuals) with any regression type.
- It shows many goodness of fit measures: Residual Sum of Squares (RSS), Coefficient of Determination (R2), in linear regression also the Correlation Coefficient (r), and in least-norm regressions also the Norm of Residuals (NR) and the Norm-Based Coefficient of Determination (R2norm).
- It is endowed with other facilities like column masks to easily mask/unmask specific columns of the input file, variable naming, showing/storing input and output statistics (including the calculated value, the error and the relative error at each point)...
The above features can be combined to perform amazing regressions that allow developing powerful mathematical models, despite its lack of a fancy interface, as shows the following screenshot:
You can harness the power of RegressionTools in two ways:
- By buying the program.
- By buying regression (or mathematical modelling) services.

How we teach Maths
Teaching for Mastery
Our approach to teaching maths aims for pupils to acquire a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. The mathematics curriculum at Bakewell Infants is carefully designed to build sequentially in small steps which allow children to make connections to prior learning. Each unit and each year group have defined endpoints that all children are expected to achieve which is in line with the National Curriculum and results in increasing proportions of pupils attaining the age-related-expectation or better whilst making good progress.
The phrase ‘teaching for mastery’ describes the elements of classroom practice and school organisation that combine to give pupils the best chances of mastering maths.
Achieving mastery means acquiring a solid enough understanding of the concept that has been taught to enable pupils to move on to more advanced material.
Our lesson planning begins with what we want our pupils to think and notice, rather than what we want them to do.
We base our lessons on a maths mastery scheme called "Maths - No Problem!" We researched and trialled various approaches before choosing this system. We like it because it is child-centered and fun to teach, as well as having been assessed by the Department for Education as a high-quality textbook to support teaching for mastery. Importantly, we find it to be a very inclusive approach where all children achieve.
Maths Progression Documents
As we have a mixed Year 1 and 2 class we have reordered the Maths No Problem Scheme so that both Year groups are working on the same Mathematical skills at the same time.
These are supported using the Maths No Problem Progression Documents
Maths No Problem videos for parents
The Maths No Problem! team have created a series of videos for parents to explain the Teaching for Mastery (TfM) approach. Included is a video explaining the fundamental idea behind TfM, as well as concept-specific videos on subtraction, number bonds, multiplication, long division, and bar models. Click here
The included document also details how we teach number bonds.


So if you have been following the argument a bit, it turns out that
is the starting at time t = 1 transition probability propagator of a probability distribution, say at t=0, in the interval x = 0 to 1. A question that I tried to answer was how zeros are propagated via the propagator or at the probability distribution, which lead to theorems that I dubbed "Shadow Casting" because, under that context, it turns out that a zero, if found on the propagator, remained in place until infinity, and via the propagator it appears on the probability distribution we want to propagate as well (therefore casting a "shadow"). I hadn't thought of the following approach until recently, and I haven't worked it out completely, but it connects to the theory of Ordinary Differential Equations which seems interesting to me. Here's the argument:
Suppose we focus on for the time being, and wish to find the zeros on the transition probability surface. Thus we seek and suppose is an implicit function of . We have
Now let is a collection derived from , so that, for example,
and I think we have successfully created a link to ODEs. To find the zeros on the surface (and other time surfaces of the propagator) we stick in the correct and solve, using the familiar methods (solve the homogeneous equation and the particular solution via sin-cos-exponential solutions, variation of parameters, power series, etc.).
I'm working out the specificities, for example including the constraints we know on or . Perhaps this approach will help us broaden the spectrum of differential equations we can solve, by linking via Shadow Casting.
It may seem basic, but I think there is some untapped power here.
Additionally, I have been working on clarifying some thoughts on polynomials that converge in area in the interval from 0 to 1, but all those details tend to be a bit drab and I keep having trouble focusing. Nevertheless, there is a lot of clarity that I have been able to include, and it is now in the newest draft of "Compendium". By the way, I renamed it. It is now "Compendium of Claims and Proofs on How Probability Distributions Transform". There's still soooo much more to do.
Here it is! part-i-v28

You will quickly become a millionaire if you know the SIP in Mutual Funds tactics. Using the unique technique described here, you can invest for 30 years and receive a return of more than 10 crores. You must use these three popular mutual fund formulas to do this. Let's learn these equations.
When investing in mutual funds using a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan), one thing to remember is that time is a significant factor. Despite market volatility, if an investor maintains a constant monthly investment, his mutual fund's net asset value will continue to rise. That is, you can collect a sizable sum of money in this manner.
First Formula of Investment
Balwant, a financial counselor, said that there are unique algorithms for investing in mutual funds. The initial equation is 15*15*15. According to this calculation, a person will have a corpus of roughly Rs. 1.02 crore if they invest Rs. 15,000 each month for 15 years at a 15% return. That means you will become rich quickly with this strategy.
Second Formula of Investment
The second investment formula is 15*15*30. According to this method, a person will receive Rs 10.51 crore if they invest 15,000 rupees each month for 30 years at a 15 percent return.
Always remember that a person will earn more from mutual funds if he participates in more SIPs over a longer period. However, each individual should generate revenue by making such investments at his or her convenience, time horizon, and income.
A Delay of five years can induce a big loss.
It also has a significant impact if an investor begins investing when they are 30 years old. Let's use math to understand this. Suppose that the investor is 30 years old when the investment is first made. For 25 years, the investor completes a monthly investment of Rs 5000. Considering an annual return of 12 percent, he receives a total of Rs 84,31,033 when the investment matures, and he will be 55 years old at this time.
The full term would have been 30 years if the investor had begun SIP investments at 25. The last 10 years' data shows that SIPs have provided an average return of 15%. However, if we consider this situation also in light of an average return of 12%, at maturity, he will receive a total sum of Rs 1,52,60,066.
However, if an investor had started investing at age 25, he would have received Rs 68 lakh, which he would not have received if he had begun investing at age 30.

What is a sequence function?
Definition: A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers or a subset of the natural numbers. We usually use the symbol an to represent a sequence, where n is a natural number and an is the value of the function on n. A sequence may be finite or infinite.
What did you learn in arithmetic sequence?
Lesson Summary We’ve learned that arithmetic sequences are strings of numbers where each number is the previous number plus a constant. The common difference is the difference between the numbers. If we add up a few or all of the numbers in our sequence, then we have what is called an arithmetic series.
What are sequences used for in real life?
Sequences are useful in our daily lives as well as in higher mathematics. For example, the interest portion of monthly payments made to pay off an automobile or home loan, and the list of maximum daily temperatures in one area for a month are sequences.
What is the importance of arithmetic sequence in real life?
Arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms in a constant. Looking at this definition I can say that arithmetic progression can applied in real life by analyzing a certain pattern that we see in our daily life. For example , when you are waiting for a bus.
What are all the sequence words?
‘ ‘First’ and ‘today’ are great examples of sequence words found at the beginning of a story. These words are signals that tell you a story is starting. ‘Then’, ‘later’, ‘after’ and ‘suddenly’ are sequence words that might be found in the middle of a story. They signal that a new event is being described.
What is number pattern?
A list of numbers that follow a certain sequence or pattern. Example: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, … starts at 1 and jumps 3 every time. Another Example: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, … doubles each time.
What are the 4 types of sequences?
Types of Sequence and SeriesArithmetic Sequences.Geometric Sequences.Harmonic Sequences.Fibonacci Numbers.
How are arithmetic sequences related to real life?
One example of arithmetic sequence in real life is the celebration of people’s birthday. The common difference between consecutive celebrations of the same person is one year.
What is the meaning of sequence?
noun. the following of one thing after another; succession. order of succession: a list of books in alphabetical sequence. a continuous or connected series: a sonnet sequence. something that follows; a subsequent event; result; consequence.
Are sequences and series important?
As we discussed earlier, Sequences and Series play an important role in various aspects of our lives. They help us predict, evaluate and monitor the outcome of a situation or event and help us a lot in decision making.
What is the importance of geometric sequence?
Geometric series are used throughout mathematics. They have important applications in physics, engineering, biology, economics, computer science, queueing theory, and finance. Geometric series are one of the simplest examples of infinite series with finite sums, although not all of them have this property.
How sequences and series are applicable in your life?
Every Debit card has a passcode (between 4 to 9 digits). In order to buy something with a debit card, I must enter the correct 4-9 digits. The function rule is the product price, in other words, I must have enough money in my debit card to pay for the product.
What is the difference between arithmetic sequence and arithmetic series?
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference d between successive terms is constant. … An arithmetic series is the sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence. The nth partial sum of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the first and last terms as follows: Sn=n(a1+an)2.
What are the sequence words?
Sequence words are words that help us understand the order of events that are happening in the story. They tell us things like what happened first, what happened next, and what happened that was unexpected. Think of them as signal words that help us identify the next event in a story and the end of a story.

Made to Measure Curtains - Fullness
Tuesday, 11 January 2022 | Admin
Curtains are not flat panels of course, more fabric is used than the width of the window to create the lovely wave effect, this is known as 'fullness'. Typically the fabric width for a pair of curtains is just over double the length of the pole or track.
The fullness of curtains in the photo above is 2.4, which is perfect, we aim for 2.3-2.4 for double pinch pleat headings as here.
Typical fabric width on the roll is 137cms, so the vast majority of curtains use more than one width of fabric per side, with the fabric carefully joined so the pattern matches.
To calculate fullness, measure the length of the curtain pole from the curtain ring on the outer edge of the side bracket on one side to the same ring on the other side. These are the two rings which hold the sides of the curtain in place when the curtains are pulled to close. Then add the distance each side from the outer ring to the wall, known as the return. In the photo above, the return is 6cm each side and the pole length from outer ring to outer ring is 140cms, giving a total of 152cms.
This Blendworth fabric is 138cms wide and the curtains are made from one and a third widths of fabric per side. (One width per side would not be full enough and one and a half widths would be slightly too full.)
The fullness calculation is the fabric width divided by the pole length (outer ring to outer ring plus returns as above), so in this example:
138 x 2.66 / 152 = 2.41 Fullness
If a triple pleat heading is required then we use 2.5-2.6 as a little more fabric is needed for the pleats.
In the example above, if only one width of fabric had been used per side the the fullness would only have been 1.8 (138 x 2 / 152 = 1.8) and if one and a half widths per side had been used it would have been 2.7 (138 x 3 / 152). Hence trimming from one and a half to one and a third.
To calculate for a track, simply use the track length plus the returns and calculate the same way.

How we calculate IQ score
If you are not sure what is median and standard deviation check out
this Wikipedia article about IQ scores first.
With thousands of users who took our test we have a luxury of knowing median
score and deviation of the average "internet user". These numbers are our
reference points. Every night we recalculate median score and deviation based on
answers on all users who took our test in the past 90 days.
For every question that you answer correctly under 5 seconds you get 1 point. If
it takes you longer than 45 seconds to answer the question then you get 0.5
points. If you answer time is between 5 and 45 seconds you get a proportional
score between 1 and 0.5 points.
At the end you average score is calculated and one or more penalties applied (see
From points to IQ score
If your score is equal to median score - your IQ is 100. For every difference
from median equal to standard deviation you get 15 IQ points.
Everyone gets 10 questions at a time. After every 10 answers we recalculate your
IQ and ranking in your groups. Only last 50 questions answered in the past 30
There is a penalty of 7 IQ points for answering less than 30 questions to prevent
"lucky guesses" from getting to the top of the chart.

Online Graphing Calculator / Graphing Calculator Online
Here’s a good example of what an Online Graphing Calculator can do:
By Justin Jude Blanco
There is much debate about the best online graphing calculator.
A graphing calculator (online or handheld) is a calculator that is capable of plotting graphs, solving simultaneous equations, and performing other tasks with variables.
For answers, we went to Quora.com:
is the simplest and best. Use if you need a little more functionality.”
“If you want to plot raw data and not an equation, check out.”
is pretty good.”
‘Check out( a free online tool that we made and that can graph equations, solve matrices and much more)’
And, from Math.StackExchange:
“Some good options:”
“I really like Geogebra as a web based graphing tool (requires Java).”
A Brief History of Handheld and Online Graphing Calculators
For a history of graphing calculators in general, we consulted (who else?) WikiPedia. Here’s what they say:
Casio produced the first commercially available graphing calculator, the fx-7000G, in 1985. Casio’s innovations include an icon menu for easy access to functions (1994, FX-7700GE and later), graphing in several colors (1995, CFX-9800G), expandable memory (FX-9860SD), textbook-like input and output (2009, FX-9750GII & 9860GII), backlit screen (2009, FX-9860 Slim & GII), full-color, high resolution backlit screen (2010, FX-CG10/CG20 PRIZM).
Sharp produced its first graphing calculator, the EL-5200, in 1986. Since then Sharp’s innovations include models with a touchscreen (EL9600 series), Equation Editor (textbook-like input) (EL-9450 and later), and reversible keyboard to ease learning (one side has basic functions, the other side has additional functions) (EL-9900).
Hewlett Packard followed in the form of the HP-28C. This was followed by the HP-28S (1988), HP-48SX (1990), HP-48S(1991), and many other models. Models like the HP 50g (2006) or the HP Prime (2013) feature a computer algebra system(CAS) capable of manipulating symbolic expressions and analytic solving. An unusual and powerful CAS “calculator” is the now obsolete year 2001 Casio Cassiopeia A-10 and A-11 (flip top) stylus-operated PDAs, which ran the Maple V symbolic engine. The HP-28 and -48 ranges were primarily meant for the professional science/engineering markets; the HP-38/39/40 were sold in the high school/college educational market; while the HP-49 series cater to both educational and professional customers of all levels. The HP series of graphing calculators is best known for its Reverse Polish notation (RPN) / Reverse Polish Lisp (RPL) interface, although the HP-49G introduced a standard expression entry interface as well.
Texas Instruments has produced graphing calculators since 1990, the oldest of which was the TI-81. Some of the newer calculators are similar, with the addition of more memory, faster processors, and USB connection such as the TI-82, TI-83 series, and TI-84 series. Other models, designed to be appropriate for students 10–14 years of age, are the TI-80 and TI-73. Other TI graphing calculators have been designed to be appropriate for calculus, namely the TI-85, TI-86, TI-89 series, and TI-92 series (TI-92, TI-92 Plus, and Voyage 200). TI offers a CAS on the TI-89, TI-Nspire CAS and TI-92 series of calculators. TI calculators are targeted specifically to the educational market, but are also widely available to the general public.

Math is my favorite subject so I would often use math websites with the kids.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Batter's Up Baseball is a great site to practice addition and multiplication. It's especially good to use with third or fourth graders around the season opener or near World Series time. There are several features I like about this game. Students choose from attempting a single which means a basic single digit fact, a double which is a two digit number times a single digit, or a home run, which is a double digit times a doubleIn the third level digit. They choose their answer from a grid of nine choices. There is also a timer. It gives them three strikes to get it correct and score. Actually, they don't score until a run is made so it takes four singles to score a point. I had students figure out that if they did three singles and then went for a home run, they would get a grand slam. Cheering crowd sound effects add to the fun. Some of the kids wanted to stay in from recess in order to play this game. Now that's a hit!
Multiflyer is a solar system themed multiplication site that was also very popular with third graders. Students must solve multiplication facts up to 12X12 in order to progress to the next planet. Students can select a difficulty level which determines the time allowed. There is also a grid which they can use to find the answer if they are stuck. If they make too many errors the game ends and they are given a report of how well they did in each times table. They can also use the practice mode for tables they find challenging.
Polygon Playground is a place where students explore polygons by using six different polygons in various sizes and colors to create patterns and pictures. Here there are no right or wrong answers, just creativity.
Fantastic Fractions is a grid of twenty five fraction activities that I put together for a class I was taking in differentiated instruction. I chose activities at different levels from basic to challenging as well as themes and types of activities. A few favorites were Fraction Flags, Fraction Monkeys, and Musical Fractions.
Star Gazing is one of the games from PBS Cyberchase, an excellent collection of challenging activities. In this game, students estimate angles in order to aim a telescope at a planet.
Play Your Cards Right is a card game for learning probability. A card is shown and you must predict whether the next card is higher or lower. At the third level, you must determine whether the odds are no chance, poor, even, good, or certain.
Possible Outcomes is another I liked for probability. It creates different combinations of hamburgers and toppings.
Chances is a dice game to illustrate probability. Once you set a number of rolls, it shows the outcome on a bar graph.
Base Block Subtraction is an activity I used with first graders near the end of the year. I visited a first grade classroom an saw them using actual base blocks to learn about regrouping so I used this site with virtual base blocks. You can vary the number of possible columns from 2 to 4 and thus change the range of problems given. When you move a ten stick to the ones column, it breaks into cubes. Subtraction is shown using both the manipulatives and the algorithm.
Fact Family Village is another activity that I created as part of a Math and Technology course. I made it to use early in second grade but it could also be beneficial in late first grade. The village is made up of streets from Zero Place to Tenth Street. Each street has houses with the fact families for that number. Clicking on the houses shows children wearing teeshirts with the various facts on them. The facts are also read aloud. I was also very aware of creating multicultural faces on the children.


AlphaTensor: discovering mathematical algorithms with reinforcement learning
* Register (or log in) to the AI4G Neural Network to add this session to your agenda or watch the replay
Improving the efficiency of algorithms for fundamental computations has a widespread impact, as it affects the overall speed of a very large amount of computations. Matrix multiplication is one such primitive task, occurring in many systems—from neural networks to scientific computing routines. The automatic discovery of algorithms using machine learning offers the prospect of reaching beyond human intuition and outperforming the current best human-designed algorithms. However, automating the algorithm discovery procedure is intricate, as the space of possible algorithms is enormous.
This AI for Good session presents a deep reinforcement learning approach based on AlphaZero for discovering efficient and provably correct algorithms for the multiplication of arbitrary matrices. The agent, AlphaTensor, is trained to play a single-player game where the objective is finding tensor decompositions within a finite factor space. AlphaTensor discovered algorithms that outperform the state-of-the-art complexity for many matrix sizes. Particularly relevant is the case of 4×4 matrices in a finite field, where AlphaTensor’s algorithm improves on Strassen’s two-level algorithm for the first time, to our knowledge, since its discovery 50 years ago.
This talk will further showcase the flexibility of AlphaTensor through different use-cases: algorithms with state-of-the-art complexity for structured matrix multiplication and improved practical efficiency by optimizing matrix multiplication for runtime on specific hardware. Our results highlight AlphaTensor’s ability to accelerate the process of algorithmic discovery on a range of problems, and to optimize for different criteria.
This live event includes a 15-minute networking event hosted on the AI for Good Neural Network. This is your opportunity to ask questions, interact with the panelists and participants and build connections with the AI for Good community.


Recently I have been spending some time browsing ScienceBlogs, and there’s one post on which I particularly feel I have something to say. This is the July 25 post on Good Math Bad Math about whether multiplication should be explained as repeated addition, even though it’s more than that when you start dealing with fractions.
I have a bias. You see, when I was seven or eight years old, having been taught that multiplication is essentially repeated addition, I came up with the idea of exponentiation all by myself. So I say, of course multiplication should be taught as repeated addition, because if it hadn’t been then I wouldn’t have had that creative insight. Later on, when I was taught that other people had already thought of exponentiation, I came up with the idea of “operational algebra”, which was my term for a scheme in which numbers are assigned to operations so that addition is operation #1 and operation #(p+1) with integer operators is repeated operation #p. I had fun playing with this idea. I didn’t make any earth-shattering mathematical discoveries, but who cares? A teenager had fun! Surely that’s significant enough. (In the future, I may tell you more about what I did with this idea, but it was a long time ago and the difficulty is remembering.)
Of course, when you start dealing with fractions, there’s more to multiplication than repeated addition and there’s more to exponentiation than repeated multiplication. But I say, that’s a wonderful opportunity to teach students about the beauty of mathematics, how it’s full of patterns that just seem to fall into place. One and a half to the power of one and a half doesn’t make much sense if you rephrase it as one and a half multiplied by itself one and a half times, and yet, with a bit of very simple bit of algebraic trickery, you can show that it does have a meaning after all, and that meaning is perfectly consistent with the original definition, so that in a manner of speaking you can multiply something by itself one and a half times. It’s all very beautiful – to find that you can define something in terms of integers and have it turn out, unexpectedly, that it can be re-defined in a consistent and simple way to work with all numbers. But appreciating that beauty begins with the definition in terms of integers, so absolutely I say, multiplication should be taught as repeated addition, and exponentiation as repeated multiplication, because those definitions are the foundations of the lookout tower from which the deeper patterns can be seen.

A multiple-choice game that helps kids learn visually by showing animals they must count to then perform mathematical operations on. Players have 2 minutes to play and incorrect answers to not end the game nor lower the player’s score, though count against the game’s accuracy rating.
Keys to Successful Math Education
There are a few key things that contribute to successful math education. Firstly, it is important to make math fun for kids. If kids see math as a chore, they are less likely to engage with it and learn effectively. This is where online math games can be so useful. By making math more interactive and fun, online math games can help kids to engage with the material and learn more effectively.
Secondly, it is important to provide kids with plenty of practice opportunities. Math is a subject that requires practice in order to master it. Online math games can be a great way to give kids extra practice opportunities in a fun and engaging way.
Finally, it is important to make sure that kids understand the concepts they are learning. This is where online math games can really come in handy. By allowing kids to play around with the concepts and experiment, online math games can help them to better understand what they are learning.
Overall, online math games can be a great way to help kids learn effectively by making math more fun and providing extra practice opportunities.
Tips For Parents And Teachers
There are a few things that parents and teachers can do to ensure that kids are getting the most out of online math games. First, it is important to make sure that the games are age-appropriate. There are many math games available online, but not all of them are suitable for all ages. It is important to find games that are specifically designed for the age group that you are teaching or parenting.
Another tip is to make sure that the online math game is challenging enough for the child. If the game is too easy, the child will quickly become bored and will not learn anything from it. On the other hand, if the game is too difficult, the child will become frustrated and may give up altogether. It is important to find a balance between these two extremes.
Finally, it is important to make sure that online math games are used in moderation. Too much of anything is not good, and this includes playing math games online. It is important to set limits on how much time can be spent playing these games.

I’ve had a few days to digest CSAP, and get back to blogging!
I felt pretty good about how our curriculum aligned to the 9th grade CSAP math. As expected, there was a heavy focus on proportional thinking and reasoning. I would estimate 30-40% of questions could be solved by using proportions. And our kids feel comfortable solving proportions, but it is the recognizing and setting up part that is a challenge. There is still quite a disconnect on calling a class Algebra and having to cover all of the standards that are tested on CSAP when only one of the six is actually a standard on Algebra. With only about 2 units (10 days each) to cover the algebra benchmarks sufficiently for CSAP, we are doing a huge disservice to our students when it comes to advanced algebra and other math that builds on these skills. Traditional courses teach this framework of algebra in a whole year, not 2 units. How will our district handle this?
Another issue is the students who I KNOW are advanced based on the evidence that they show me in class making careless mistakes on a test. For example, a question that involves algebraic representations of line lenghts ask students to use perimeter (a much lower level of geometry) to demonstrate how students can set up algebraic equations and solve for variables. My very competent and smart student, who is earning an A in a junior level class as a freshman, made a careless mistake regarding what perimeter is. Are they really testing her algebra skills, or are they testing how well she works under pressure, how detail-oriented she is, her knowledge of perimeter,…? This is a huge issue of math teachers and assessments. Do multiple choice tests really assess what they set out to assess? So ready critical thinking skills, reading comprehension, and paying attention to details should be a heavy focus in my class from now on. What is the best way to focus on that?


Maths Key Stage 5
Inspiring students to see the true beauty of Mathematics by making it exciting, relevant and accessible for all. Developing key concepts of fluency, problem solving and reasoning.
Sequencing, Setting and Support
This course follows the Edexcel exam board scheme of work. Designed for a 2-year delivery, the curriculum follows three overarching themes that are applied alongside practice and learning:
1: Mathematical argument, language and proof
2: Mathematical problem solving
3: Mathematical Modelling
Classes are mixed ability and lessons are adapted to support all learners. Additional support is offered via Twilight class each week giving students the opportunity to consolidate their learning further.
Our curriculum is fully resourced to support SEND students. Notes are provided on printed sheets. Lessons are adapted to cater for the learning needs of individuals.
Alive Themes in Maths
Assessment in Maths
Homework and how Parents/Carers Support Learning
All homework is set on Edulink which is an app and website available to students and parents/carers. Further information and a video about how to find homework on Edulink is available on our Homework page.
These are the principles which underpin our homework.
As you are aware, completing homework and revising regularly is essential in learning and retaining mathematical skills and knowledge. Students are expected to work on exercises from the online textbook that consolidates the work learnt in class. We expect students to work a minimum of 5 hours a week on these exercises and other resources.
Our Moodle area has a wealth of resources designed to support students’ learning, including course notes and past paper exam questions.

After-School All-Stars and Teza Technologies'
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Resource Guide
We’re proud to join forces with our partner Teza Technologies to bring you this list of STEM education articles and resources. From facts and figures about the state of STEM education in the United States to ways to encourage students to pursue an interest in STEM, we hope these resources inspire you to spread the word about the importance of science, technology, engineering and math!
ASAS and Teza: Our Work Together
With Teza’s partnership, ASAS has expanded our national STEM initiative to 12 cities, and progressed from serving 800 children with STEM opportunities to serving more than 1,400. We have also added robust new program offerings, including more advanced “102-level” classes in our robotics and coding coursework as well as new program elements such as video game design.
STEM Education Facts and Figures:
- “Black students are less likely to have access to computer science (CS) in classes at school compared to white or Hispanic students. Specifically, 47 percent say they have dedicated CS classes, compared to 58 percent of white students and 59 percent of Hispanic students.”
- “STEM jobs are growing at 1.7 times the rate of non-STEM jobs, and the U.S. is simply not producing enough candidates to fill them. Only 16% of high school seniors are interested in pursuing STEM careers, according to the Department of Education.”
- “America’s students have improved in math and science over the past 20 years – but remain behind students in many other industrialized nations. The United States ranks 35th out of 64 countries in math and 27th in science, according to a cross-national test known as PISA.”
- “Even with more than 13 million Americans unemployed, the manufacturing sector cannot find people with the skills to take nearly 600,000 unfilled jobs, according to a study last fall by the Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte.”
- “Though less than 4 percent of the U.S. workforce in 2010 was classified as working in a science or engineering field, the report notes that nearly 20 percent of all occupations may “require significant STEM knowledge and skill in at least one field.”
- “7.7 million Americans say their jobs require them to use computers in complex ways, which is more than twice the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ estimate of workers in computing occupations.”

Ranja Roy received her Ph.D. from Binghamton University in 1998 under the guidance of Distinguished Professor F.T. Farrell, known for his research on Borel Conjecture in Mathematics. Her thesis work resulted in a globally recognized publication, providing a counterexample to a famous Trace Conjecture in the K theory of C*-algebra that was presented in major American and Canadian math society conferences in year 2000. Roy held visiting assistant professor positions at Millersville University and Union College before joining New York Tech.
Roy's research interests include algebraic and differential topology and geometric group theory. Currently, her collaborative research with professors at the University of Seville in Spain already has resulted in numerous published research articles.
She has applied her skills in other ways as well. Roy contributed statistical analysis to a study by the Department of Biological and Chemical Sciences at New York Tech that investigated the link between dietary intake and geographic distribution of liver and stomach cancer in Thailand (research published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer). Roy also enjoys working with students on math modeling projects in science and engineering.

Stack The Cats
One cat sleeps. Two cats play. Thee cats stack! 'Stack the Cats' is a charming book about counting and organising cats in various formations. But when the cats decide to go their own way - as cats often will - it's time to count down until there's only one sweet cat left. Counting forward and backward, understanding when there are more or fewer of something, and grouping and recognising the number of items in a group are key early math skills for toddlers, making 'Stack the Cats' as developmentally sound as it is ridiculously adorable.


RGB Color Conversion - Imaging toolkit feature Version number:
The RGB color space
The RGB color space is the best-known and most widely used color model. In RGB each color is represented by 3 values red ( R ), green ( G ) and blue ( B ), positioned along the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system. The values of RGB are assumed to be in the range of [0,1] or in some cases in the range of [0-255]. This way black is represented as (0, 0, 0), white is represented as (1, 1, 1) or (255, 255, 255). These black and the white colors are represented by 2 of the opposite corner of the cube that can be defined by the R, G, B axes of the Cartesian coordinate systems. Other corners of the cube represent the red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow colors. Grayscale colors are represented with identical R, G, B components.


Hi. Please could you add point to point line drawing to the shapes? The shape would have x/y coordinates for the start and end points, and a line thickness value. If the coordinates and thickness could be modified with formulas, it would make it a lot easier to draw graphs, and other dynamic shapes. Currently I'm using rectangles, with 4 variables per line, and trigonometry to work out where it should be placed and the angle. It seems overly complex/bloated on the user side. Thanks!
