Game made by Bill Guess the value of cosPlayers: 1 to 1 billion How to play: This is a simple game that can be played at anytime, eg. on the bus, while driving, while on the phone, or when skydiving. The aim is simple, one must say to the players, or to themselves a randomly chosen angle in degrees (easiest), radians (getting harder) or gradients (challenging). Once you have told all the players the angle, all must guess the value of the cosine of that angle. The person with the closest value to the correct value is the winner! Or if you are by playing by yourself, go get a life. Then choose if you want to play the game again. Variations of the game: Find the sine, tangent, squine, cosquine or squangent of an angle. One of the quality math games by Bill Moving from Cartesian coordinates to polar, or vice versaWhere (x,y) and [r,θ]: The distance between two pointsTwo Cartesian coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by: Two Polar Coordinates (r1, θ1) and (r2, θ2) is given by: Polar equations and graphsr = constant Equations of the form r = k have graphs that are circles, centre at the origin and radius k. θ = constant Equations of the form θ = k (and r ≥ 0) have graphs that are half lines, from the origin and making an angle k with the positive x-axis. r = kθ Equations of the form r = kθ have graphs that are Archimedes spirals.

The Cairns Post reports mother-of-four Fleur Nightingall was disgusted when her seven-year-old son Jayden’s teacher at Trinity Beach State School asked for him to be supplied with a calculator to learn maths for his year 2 classes next year. “I just shook my head. I was stunned,” Mrs Nightingall said. “My son is still learning how to do sums on paper, let alone getting a calculator. It’s disgusting – absolutely disgusting.” Education Queensland maintains the calculators support students’ mathematics learning and does not detract from this focus. A ZOMBIE attack would need to be countered hard and early to give civilisation any hope of surviving, according to a mathematical study. A Canadian team – which includes an Australian researcher – has done the maths on what would happen should zombies really appear on the streets. Modelling various outcomes, including what happens when quarantine is implemented or a cure found, the group found a failure to “hit hard and hit often” would be devastating. Professor Robert Smith?* – an Australian now working at the University of Ottawa – told the Wall Street Journal that even finding a cure for zombie-ism left an unsatisfactory situation. “Unless the cure was 100 per cent, which it would never be in reality, you can’t turn all the zombies back. (You achieve) this equilibrium where people are always switching back and forth.” While the study may . . . → Read More: Maths done on surviving a zombie attack! Tens of thousands of A-level students have been receiving the news that will change the course of their lives. Some high-flying students are celebrating outstanding results. And as they tell the BBC News website, they will remember today for the rest of their lives: THE MATHS PRODIGY Niall Thompson will leave home at the early age of 15 to study maths at Magdalene College, Cambridge. Niall grew up in Mossley in Greater Manchester and will be the first person in his family to go to university. He was brought up by his mother, Bev. Niall said: “She’s more excited than me really, she’s really chuffed. She was really pleased for me. “It is just amazing. To know I have got proof that I have done enough is just amazing.” Niall was educated at a state school and gained four A grades in maths, further maths, statistics and physics – as well as a distinction in the tough . . . → Read More: Students’ stories of exam success NOW WITH YOUTUBE VIDEO!!!! Do you ever need to create notes for the calculator fast and easy? Have an exam coming up and want to make interactive notes that can contain images, graphs, spreadsheets or even rolling dice?

Why not read this tutorial for how to create notes in eActivites on the computer! Use your computer’s keyboard instead of the ClassPad. It makes creating notes for exams so much simpler and quicker. Remember the old tutorial? That was too long, and not powerful enough for Maths Addict’s likings so we developed a new tutorial that will take half the time and is over 1000000% more powerful. Anyway.. I’ll stop with the gobba-de-goop and lets begin: Requirements: - Windows XP/Vista/7 with Administrative Privilages - ClassPad to USB Cable - FA-CP1 Installed with sufficiant ClassPad drivers installed - Active internet connection . . . → Read More: How to add notes to the Casio ClassPad PATNA: A student committed suicide after he failed in his Class 12 Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) mathematics examination here, police said Sunday. Mohammad Tabish Imam, 17, hanged himself Saturday in his Manas path residence here after failing in the exam. He was a student of Shivam Public School. A police officer said the case is being investigated. Imam’s father Mohammad Akhtar said: “My son was depressed after failing in mathematics. He, however, got 72 percent over all in the examination.” A neighbour Sunil Prasad said Imam was a hard working boy and was shocked after failing in mathematics. “Examination failed him in life also,” Prasad said.

The American internet giant in charge of the second most used website on the internet, Google, has begun entering details of their 20,000 employees into a mathematical formula that will apparently be able to identify the employees that feel under-used and are likely to quit. Google’s HR Chief in the US, Laszlo Bock, says, that the algorithm will ‘get inside people’s heads even before they know they might leave’. Advertising sales boss Tim Armstrong and display advertising chief David Rosenblatt have both quit their jobs recently and using this formula it should help lower the level of people quiting Google. Bosses at Google believe that people are quitting Google because the employees believe that they are not making as much of a difference . . . → Read More: Google uses math formulas to find employees that are most likely to quit |
