Article 2 (mysics)

Wow this is like preparing for Math Science Media Monday. Hey I could use this for my Math Science Media Monday. Basically, towers that would normally have internet connection or cellular connection, now have television too so you can now watch all the channels you could on TV but on your cell phone or laptop etc.
 You should care about this topic because it is a major advancement because you can now watch TV any time any place and with no interruptions. They are now selling these USB antennae that allow you to do such an amazing thing. A setback is that it only works with USB ports and not all devices can use it.

Article 1 (mysics)

Basically, in the medicine field, a drug maker, Eli Lilly, plans to lower the cost of drugs by one billion when 2011 comes, but will need to cut 5,500 jobs. This is a big deal in both good and bad ways. I will lower the price of drugs majorly. However it will also make 5500 people jobless and thus moneyless. As far as I know, nothing is in the way of this topics success.

Semester Goals for Mysics

1. Find ways to apply what I learn in school to the outside world.
First Step: Ask Mele what the math I am learning is used for. 
2. Improve how I organize my work.
First Step: Get dividers for my binder and put work in my binder rather than in my backpack. 
3. Show my work more often.
First Step: Write what is going on in my head as it happens.

The Number Zero

One thing that struck me is that so many places thought of zero around the same time. I don't think anyone discovers anything single-handedly.As a baby we figure out how to crawl from watching others and practicing. When we decide to try to discover things, part of the idea comes from someone else. So I conclude that no one discovered zero. I think the concept of zero was thought of first. The whole world discovered zero through curiosity and watching others.

The Solution To The Locker Problem

There are 31 lockers open and 969 are shut. This is because the lockers that are open are perfect squares. They are perfect squares because they have an odd amount of factors, The amount of factors a number has corresponds to the amount of times a locker’s state is changed. As an example, 8’s factors are 1, 2, 4, and 8. That means that the first, second, fourth, and eighth student will touch locker 8. A perfect square is the only type of number with an odd amount of factors because you only list its square root as one number. As an example, 16's factors are, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. 4 is the square root of 16 so it is only listed once.

The reason that the lockers do not change once their number is passed is because after the 16th kid finishes the 16th locker, no other kid from then on will touch the 16th locker. that is why when you look at the diagram below that the first locker stays the same and the second locker stays the same after the second kid. This is the same all no matter how high your numbers reach.

There is also a pattern to this: One locker is open, then the next two are shut, one open, four shut, one open, six shut, one open, eight shut...

Also there is an Interactive diagram at the bottom of the page. You should check it out.

Math is the measurement, of imaginary, real and unknown numbers, the substitution of things, and the basic fundamentals of understanding life.

Physis is what goes deeper into math and can use any math equation to figure out why, how, and where things will happen, have happened, and are happening.
