25. What is a tribble? A cute, soothing alien fur-ball They are born pregnant Don’t like Klingons

26. "There must be thousands of them.“ "Hundreds of thousands.” "1,771,561. That's assuming one tribble, multiplying with an average litter of ten, producing a new generation every twelve hours over a period of three days.“

27. "Well, there must be thousands of them by now!” "Hundreds of thousands.“ "One million, seven hundred seventy-one thousand, five hundred sixty-one. That's starting with one tribble with an average litter of ten every twelve hours. After three days –“ "Thank... you."

28.  One tribble produces a litter of ten  Six times in three days  11^6 = 1,771,561 Mr. Spock was correct

29. Let’s look at this step-by-step We start with one tribble

30. It will give birth to ten tribbles after 12 hours So we have 1 + 10 = 11 tribbles

31. Those 11 tribbles give birth to 110 tribbles 11 + 110 = 121

33. Those 121 tribbles give birth to 1,210 tribbles 121 + 1,210 = 1,331

35. Those 1,331 tribbles give birth to 13,310 tribbles 1,331 + 13,310 = 14,641

37. Those 14,641 tribbles give birth to 146,410 tribbles 14,641 + 146,410 = 161,051

39. Those 161,051 tribbles give birth to 1,610,510 tribbles 161,051 + 1,610,510 = 1,771,561

41. What next? How big is a tribble?

42. How many tribbles would it take to fill the room? How long would it take to breed that many tribbles?

82. IGNITE – KYMATYC 2015

84. Preface Broaden the scope of discussion on mathematics curriculum. Along with the list of competencies that focuses on a few parts of mathematics … … include discussions of reasoning. Do not list reasoning; let reasoning transcend it.

85. Exerpts from The Melancholy of Anatomy By Wendell Berry

86. Do people who believe in the intrinsic worth of the world and its creatures have the same knowledge as as people who recognize only the market value or market segments?

87. We need to recognize the formlessness inherent in analytic science that divides entities into ever smaller parts. I recognize the possibility of useful knowledge, but also the narrowness of its application. I see truth in it in a sense, but the truth is small and far from complete.

88. We may know anatomy down to the atoms, yet we believe in loving our children and accept the obligation to instruct them as whole persons to preserve their wholeness, or health.

89. We cannot transfer this obligation to the medical industry, not even for the sake of a cure. To the medical industry cures are extractable, marketable products. This sense of cure is not healing. To heal is to make whole, perhaps not definable or handily billable.

90. Industrialized business no longer recognizes the environment or the people as a whole, but as a source of extractable products, “efficiently” shedding any other concern. The living world is treated as dead matter; its worth determined exclusively by the marketplace.

91. John Crowe Ransom wrote, “You may dissociate the elements of experience and exploit them separately. “But then at best you go on a schedule of small experiences, taking them in turn.

92. The theory that excellence lies in the perfection of the single function, and society should demand that its members be hard specialists, assumes that there is no particular harm in missing something.

93. Our minds work best at a scale benign and harmless to a great extent and without catastrophic surprises. This does not excite us! We want a revolution: industrial, technological, automotive, antibiotic, sexual, genomic, etc.

94. Each revolution has something to sell, either to the people or the government, which they must “buy”. The Industrial Revolution began with two goals: first, replace people with machines; second, market products – regardless of usefulness – for maximum profit, which concentrates wealth into fewer hands.

95. We have formed our present life – intellectual and economic – on specialization, professionalism, and competition. Certified smart people solve our problems for us by analysis, dividing wholes into smaller parts.

96. The capitalism of fear, weakness, ignorance, bloodthirst, and disease is certainly financial. And it has advantages. But criticism does not deal in categorical approval and condemnation.

97. Valid criticism attempts a just description of our condition. If criticism involves computation, then it aims at a full accounting and an honest net result. If we hope to live sensibly, correcting mistakes that need correcting, we need a valid general criticism.

98. A valid general criticism would measure work against its context. The health of the context – the body, the community, the ecosystem – would reveal the health of the work.

99. Measure our curriculum guide – a list of competencies, a few parts of a whole discipline - tampered with every time the system changes its goals – with the student body whose transfer rate to four year colleges decreased by 33% in the last few years.

100. Scared for health, afraid of death, bored, dissatisfied, vengeful, ignorant, and gullible – these are the qualities of ideal consumers. Can we imagine any education that would turn passive consumers into active and informed critics, people capable of using their minds in their own defense. It will not be the purely technical education-for-employment advocated by the “most influential educators.”

101. Reasoning failed to make the list. Reasoning, a process of drawing conclusions on the basis of evidence or assumptions. Mathematical reasoning takes many forms: justification, deductive proofs, and inductive inference, especially as found in the scientific method. None of these made the list.

102. Problem solving and proof are not possible without reasoning. Both are avenues through which students develop mathematical reasoning. These did not make the list of competencies.

103. Let us take every opportunity to have a comparative criticism of the guides to building the math curriculum: (a) a list of competencies or (b) a devotion to reasoning or (c) some other idea Best wishes. Taylor Johnson

112.  Me- I need the whole course done. I just started the class. The homework and quizzes are thru mymathlab. The midterm and final are both thru mathlab to but the final is proctored at a assessment center. The midterm opens on march 6th and the final starts on may 4th. Can you guys do this for me?

113.  Kelly- Yes, we can handle all that and teach you about the methods of getting past ProcU for only 699. What do you think?

114.  Me- That sounds great! I havent heard of procu. Is that a program or something? I dont think they use that. They want me to show up to an assesment center on campus and they open up the final for me to take.

115.  Kelly- I see well we can handle that as well. I'll set up your invoice for 699.00. You'll receive it from Paypal. when you receive the invoice and make your purchase, just send me the login details.

116.  Me- Thats alot of cash for me and im worried about the proctored final. How can you guarantee that you can take the final? I dont want to end up failing the final becuase it is proctored.

117.  Kelly- We guarantee that it will work or your money back as long as it's done through proctoru.com

118.  Me- I checked with the teacher and they do not use proctoru. They said i will need to schedule a time at the assessment center on campus. I have to take an id.

119. Kelly- Can you find out more about the software they are going to use, if any to prevent cheating? We've had success in testing centers but if it is a one on one thing with you and a proctor, it might be an issue. We can definitely complete the rest of the course aside from those items at a discounted rate.

120.  Me- I know they use something called a lockdown browser. A friend told me that its basically a small computer lab they dont let you bring much in so it isnt really one on one.

121.  Kelly- We can try to make it happen but in this case there is no guarantee for success
