    Numb3rs: A Missed Opportunity for Mathematical Accuracy

    I agree that they miss the mark for math people, but from what I have read it's basically to show people how math is used in every day life like car remotes and gambling. It is also pointed to get kids interested in math because TI has a whole Numb3rs course for students. You also have to...

    Numb3rs: A Missed Opportunity for Mathematical Accuracy

    Well you should know that you need to underrstand the topic you are talking about before you say it is dumb. It's like saying E=MC^2 is a horrible concept because it was just used for the atomic bomb without talking about its other uses. Now I do say some of the ideas in numb3rs are off, but...

    Numb3rs: A Missed Opportunity for Mathematical Accuracy

    Sorry for bringing this really old thread back up, but couple things have to be cleared up. Most of the equations are true especially when Bill Nye is a guest. It is not ment to be a total math based show hence the Friday primetime spot and the most watched Friday night show. Also Moonbear if...

    Fixing a Lawn Mower After Extended Storage

    If gass sits long enough it can separate and becomes like lacquer. Not sure if a year would do that, but I know that sitting for a long time gass will. Also this may be stupid, but have you checked to make sure you have enough oil?

    Can Carbon Nanotubes Make Space Elevators a Reality?

    PBS had a good special on it in layman's terms. Just google PBS + space elevator and you should find it. One of the big problems noted is the carbon nano tube structure which is the heart of the elevator.

    Solve Log(-1) = Real Number Problem

    Okay I am only in 11th grade and taking pre-calc so I am not a expert in this. However I don't see how there is any way to get log(-1) = a real number. Because breaking it down that would be 10^x = -1 , x>= 0/ and all those numbers would be positive. And for nejnadusho second point 1^x always...
