The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics Free FREE THE NUMBERS BEHIND NUMB3RS: SOLVING CRIME WITH MATHEMATICS PDF Professor Keith Devlin,Gary Lorden | 243 pages | 27 Apr 2009 | Penguin Putnam Inc | 9780452288577 | English | New York, NY, India Numbers (TV series) - Wikipedia The show focuses equally on the relationships among Don Eppes, his brother Charlie Eppes, and their father, Alan Eppes Judd Hirschand on the brothers' efforts to fight crime, usually in Los Angeles. The insights provided by Charlie's mathematics were The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics in some way crucial to solving the crime. Temporary characters on the show were often named after famous mathematicians. Opening: Voice-over by David Krumholtz We all use math The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics day. To predict weather…to tell time…to handle money. Math is more than formulas and equations. It's logic; it's rationality. It's using your The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics to solve the biggest mysteries we know. Don and Charlie's father, Alan Eppes, provides emotional support for the pair, while Professor Larry Fleinhardt and doctoral student Amita Ramanujan provide mathematical support and insights to Charlie. Season one was a half-season, producing only 13 episodes. Charlie is challenged on one of his long-standing pieces of mathematical work and also starts work on a new theory, cognitive emergence theory. Larry sells his home and assumes a nomadic lifestyle, while he becomes romantically involved with Megan. Amita receives an offer for an assistant professor position at Harvard Universitybut is plagued by doubt as her relationship with Charlie is challenged and her career is in upheaval. Alan begins work and dating again, although he struggles with the loss of his wife, and both Charlie and he dream of her. Charlie and Amita intensify their relationship, as do Larry and Megan, especially after Megan's kidnapping. Amita has troubles adjusting in her new role as a CalSci professor, and Larry announces his leave of absence ; he will be on the International Space Station for six months, which The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics distresses Charlie. Charlie and The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics colleagues are troubled by Dr. Meanwhile, Don dates Agent Liz Warner and questions his ethics and self worthand receives counseling. Charlie sees Don's therapist and the two understand one another more. Despite Don's concerns, Alan engages in some FBI consulting with his knowledge of engineering, and Larry returns from the space station, disillusioned. The finale wraps up with a revelation that Colby was actually a double agent for the Chinese. Noticeable changes from previous seasons include the removal of the opening-credit sequence credits are now done during the first segment of the showthe absence of Peter MacNicol's character for much of the season, and the absence of Diane Farr's character for a few episodes. His character's absence was written into the show by having him become a payload specialist on the International Space Station. Diane Farr, pregnant for most of the season, left the show for maternity leave in episode 18 " Democracy " ; her character's absence is explained as a special assignment to the Department of Justice. However, once the strike ended, CBS announced the show's return April 4,with six episodes. As this season starts, Colby Granger escapes from jail, and is revealed to be a triple agent. He then rejoins the team. Don and Liz break up halfway through this season, after Liz has trouble with Don's trust issues. The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics parents come to visit, which becomes a secondary theme throughout most of the season. Don and Robin then continue their relationship. Charlie attends FBI training camp because he has been working with Don for several years and wants to better understand what his brother does. In the season finale, Megan leaves the team to move back to Washington, DC, and Charlie goes head-to-head with Don about a case. This causes Charlie The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics send information to scientists in Pakistan. He is subsequently arrested and has his security clearance revoked, so he can no longer help Don on cases. At the end of the episode, Don drives away to another case and Charlie admits that giving up FBI work will be harder than he expected. The fifth season premiered on October 3,and the season finale aired on May 15, The season premiere was moved back one week to accommodate the presidential debates. Season five opens 3 weeks after " When Worlds Collide " season four's finalewith the government dropping the charges against Charlie. Don begins to explore Judaism. The team adds new agent Nikki Betancourt, who arrives shortly after Megan Reeves' departure. Robin is offered a promotion, but turns it down. Buck Winters from the episodes "Spree" and " Two Daughters " breaks out of prison and comes after Don. Alan suddenly finds himself coaching CalSci's basketball team. David becomes Don's primary relief supervisor. Toward the end of the season, Don is stabbed, and Charlie blames himself for it. Amita is kidnapped, and the team races to find her. After she is rescued, Charlie proposes to Amita. Her response is left undisclosed. The season starts with the engagement of Charlie and Amita. Soon after, Larry turns down an opportunity to meet with mathematicians at CERNin Genevaand drops his course load for the following semester. This leads Charlie to realize Larry is once again leaving, The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics leaving all of his work to Charlie. Don learns that his former mentor is crooked, causing Don angst when he has to shoot his mentor. Charlie and Don learn that Alan has lost a substantial amount of money in his k. After some delay, Larry leaves Los Angeles, only to find a vacant piece of land for sale within driving distance of the city. Alan decides to return to work and finds a job as a software technical consultant. David asks Don for advice about career paths within the FBI. Larry returns from the desert with a new theory about the universe's fate. They get married before their move to England to teach at the University of Cambridge. Don loses his gun, recovers it after it is used in some vigilante murders, and gets engaged to Robin. He also decides to leave the The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics, taking an administrative position within the FBI. Before leaving, Charlie and Amita decide that the family garage should be converted to a guest house so Alan can continue living with them. We all use math every day. Several mathematicians work as consultants for each episode. This mathematical validity and applicability of the equations have been asserted by professional mathematicians. Gary Lorden, a consultant to the show along with Dr. Orara, a physics consultant, explain some of the mathematical techniques that have been used both in actual FBI cases and in other law- enforcement departments. Since the premiere season, the blog edited by Prof. Mark Bridger Northeastern University has commented on the mathematics behind each episode of the show. Wolfram Research the developers of Mathematica is the chief math consultant, reviewing scripts and providing background mathematics for the show. Alice Silverberga part-time mathematician consultant to the show, expressed concern with its use of mathematics, asserting that the math is inserted after the initial script and written to provide plausible-sounding jargonrather than having consultants involved at all stages of story development. The idea for Numbers was generated in the late s when Nick Falacci and Cheryl Heuton, the show's creators, attended a lecture given by Bill Nyea popular science educator. Gabriel Macht was originally cast to portray the character of Don Eppes. One of the most frequent campus locations at Caltech is the vicinity of Millikan Libraryincluding the bridge over Millikan Pond, the Trustees room, and the arcades of nearby buildings. Another common location is the Craftsman home of the Eppes family. The house shown in the first season is real; it is owned by David Raposa and Edward Trosper, [50] although a replica set was used from the second season onwards. The show uses the number three in its title instead of the letter "e", in which is found in Leetspeak. In the interviews with Tom The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and with Alan Pergament of The Buffalo News The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics, Heuton mentioned that the use of the number three in the title derives from leeta form of computer jargon that replaces letters with numbers. The Numbers Behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics Lorden, a California Institute of Technology mathematics professor who served as the show's mathematics consultant, told NPR 's Ira Flatow that it was created on a normal computer keyboard. Lorden also mentioned that the use of the number three in the title can serve as a restriction in Internet searches about the series. Both entertainment reporters and psychologists noticed the title's spelling. Lynette Rice of Entertainment Weekly asked Krumholtz about the three in the title; his response was, "Isn't that annoying? I think it should be the mathematical symbol for sigmawhich looks like an E. I've been fighting that for weeks. The TV site Zap2it. Friday slot, CBS has chosen to put a 3 in place of the "e" in the title…. I won't be going along with this particular affectation, which slows down my typing and seems to be the graphic equivalent of the reversed "R" in Toys R Us.

Az érdeklődés hiánya legtöbbször a meg nem értésből származó kudarcélményekből fa- kad, hiszen a sorozatos kudarcok az önmagukkal szembeni elvárások, igényszintjük csökke- néséhez, így érdeklődésük elvesztéséhez, egyfajta érzelmi elutasításhoz vezetnek [1].

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Mothers and Daughters Between Two Cultures in Short Fiction by Edwidge Danticat

Conclusion 20 2 1.1 Introduction In this essay I examine the Haitian-American author Edwidge Danticat‟s1 representation of mother and daughter relationships between two cultures in two of the stories in her short story collection Krik? Krak! Her stories focus on problems with immigration, gender and history, and they concern mother-daughter relationships. Characteristic of Danticat‟s stories is the focus on women and their search for identity.2 The mothers and daughters in the two stories I have chosen to examine are immigrants from Haiti of the first or second generation and have lived in the United States for several years. Krik? Krak! focuses on women, their struggles and motherhood. In the last two stories of Krik? Krak!, “Caroline‟s Wedding” and “New York Day Women” the mother‟s and daughter‟s relationships are influenced by the situation of being caught in the middle of two cultures, a situation that is problematic both for the first and second generation. While reading these stories I found that the rifts between the mothers and daughters are profound, and that the gap between the mothers and daughters were widened by the differences between Haitian and American culture and by the complexity of the political relationship between the countries.

Is She Chinese or American? On the Identity Communication Patterns between Caucasian Parents and their Adopted Chinese Daughters in the U.S. INTRODUCTION The laws of supply and demand have led to a boom in international adoption. Everyday, an average of 20 American families adopt children from overseas, mostly from Third World countries. Adoption of children from China by citizens of the United States began in 1992 when the Chinese government passed a law ratifying international adoption (China Adoption Website, 2007). As of 2001, more than 23,000 children born in China have left Chinese orphanages to join adoptive parents in the U. S. (Miller-Loessi & Kilic, 1999). In 2006 alone, Americans adopted 6,493 children from China, more than from any other country.

  • Popularising Mathematics
    Popularising Mathematics Philipp Legner August 2013 Abstract Mathematics has countless applications in science, engineering and technology, yet school mathematics is one of the most unpopular subjects, perceived as difficult, boring and not useful in life. ‘Popularisation’ projects can help bridge this gap, by showing how exciting, applicable and beautiful mathematics is. Some popularisation projects focus on telling the wider public about mathematics, including its history, philosophy and applications; other projects encourage you to actively do mathematics and discover surprising relationships and beautiful results using mathematical reasoning and thinking. In this report I will develop a framework to classify and evaluate popularisation, and analyse a wide range of existing projects – ranging from competitions to websites, movies, exhibitions, books and workshops. I also reflect upon my personal experiences in designing popularisation activities. I would like to thank Professor Dave Pratt for his advise while writing this report. Table of Contents Introduction 1 Part 1: A Framework for Mathematics Popularisation The Value of Mathematics ........................................................................... 2 Defining Mathematics Popularisation ...................................................... 4 Designing Mathematics Popularisation ................................................... 8 Evaluating Popularisation Projects ............................................................ 11 Part 2: Case Studies of Popularisation Projects
