Getting Random Get random numbers, quotes, etc. JS Main Basics Advanced Complete List ... Advanced /Random Browser Compatibility: NS 3+, IE 4+ By default, the random function returns a random number between zero and 1. This by itself isn't very useful. Click the button below, and notice that the number in the alert is a long random number after the decimal point: Now, the numbers you get will be between zero and 4- but they still will not be integers. Try the button below and see: You can also use two steps if it seems to make more sense: var ran_number=Math.round(ran_unrounded); Now, try this button. You'll see a nice looking integer between zero and 4: Now, you may be wondering why we want the number between and 4, rather than 1 and 5. When we are ready to make a script that uses this, an array is a handy way of getting to a value. Arrays start counting with an index number of 0, such as: Keeping the random numbers in line with the array numbers will save some headaches as to when you should add or subtract the number one to get it working. Now, let's build a little random quote script that will give the viewer an alert with a random quote on a button click. We already know how to get the random number, we just need to use an array to store some quotes- and make use of them with the random numbers. We'll use 5 random quotes, so we need 5 random numbers. This will keep us with our "between zero and 4" theme. Let's begin by creating a function, and setting up a variable to get a random number:

82. Math Miscellany - Department Of Mathematics & Statistics At The University Of Pr Here are some quotes from mathematicians or about math/mathematicians. One of myfavorites is by John von Neumann who said In mathematics, http://www.math.upei.ca/html/miscellany.html

MATH MISCELLANY by Gordon MacDonald Math has its own language Math has its in-jokes Math has puzzles and games Math has a shared history ... Math appears in popular culture THE SUBCULTURE OF MATHEMATICS Mathematics has existed as a discipline since the dawn of civilization, and yet a very small percentage of humanity actually is engaged in doing any mathematics beyond basic addition and subtraction. The group of people who do engage in mathematics is often referred to as "the mathematics community". The definition of community being applied here is "the body of people in a learned occupation" (from Cambrige International Dictionary), however, this group of mathematicians is in many ways might be more accurately described as a subculture. DEFINITION OF SUBCULTURE (from Cambridge International Dictionary) The way of life, customs and ideas of a particular group of people within a society, which are different from the rest of society. It is fair to say that the large majority of the population views mathematics with apathy, suspicion, or perhaps even antipathy. I'm sure you had the experience of being in a conversation with non-mathematicians where the topic of mathematics comes up and someone proudly announces: " I was not good at math in High School", or "I hate math". Can you think of any other area where people are proud to declare their ignorance? Only occasionally do you get: "I loved math in High School." As much as mathematicians try to reach across and communicate mathematics to the world, it seems there is a clear line separating the math subculture from the rest of the world. This math subculture is kept alive and vibrant by working mathematicians but is also enriched by the amateurs who enjoy mathematics and want to participate in the mathematics community.

84. KU Mathematics: Students' Quotes What is the academic atmosphere in our math department like? We encouragemore advanced students to become active in research math and interdisciplinary http://www.math.ku.edu/graduate/quotes.html

Students' Quotes What is the academic atmosphere in our math department like? Our graduate students report a friendly atmosphere in which students often work together and faculty take a strong interest in their progress. We encourage more advanced students to become active in research math and interdisciplinary seminars and our weekly colloquium brings in speakers from outside the university. During Mathematics Awareness Month we schedule a series of research overviews especially for graduate students, and sometimes students organize their own graduate seminars. This is what our students say Ricky Lawner: "People love what they're doing. You get a broad background and I think that's really important. One thing that's been great for me has been the opportunity to teach. The amount of autonomy has been really nice." Jennifer Parkinson: "There's a really nice cooperative atmosphere among the graduate students. When we were in the early graduate courses we always helped each other. I'm sure we learned a lot more that way than we would have without that atmosphere. I also learned a lot through teaching calculus - not just about mathematics, but about leadership, speaking in public, and making tough decisions." Arpad Benyi: "Lawrence is a good town. I've been travelling around in the midwest and I guess I felt privileged to come from Lawrence."

I have had a series of quotes on my homepage , and rather than delete the old ones completely, I have collected them here together with the date I first used them. Although I try to only use accurate quotes, there's always the chance that I have made a mistake, and I would welcome any corrections. A useful website on Questionable Quotes debunks some quotes as urban legends. Sep 2001 Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Nov 2001 "The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Username: Password: Quotations collected below all reflect on perception of Mathematics by various people over a few hundred years history. Proclus (412-485) had this to say: The Pythagoreans considered all mathematical sciences to be divided into four parts: one half they marked off as concerned with quantity, the other half with magnitude; and each of these they posited as twofold. A quantity can be considered in regard to its character by itself or in its relation to another quantity, magnitudes as either stationary or in motion. Arithmetic, then, studies quantities as such, music the relations between quantities, geometry magnitude at rest, spherics ( astronomy, A.B. ) magnitude inherently moving. Obviously, in the 2500 years since Pythagoras when music was still considered a mathematical science, both human perception of and our attitude towards, mathematics underwent a tremendous metamorphosis.

95. Is Anything Wrong With Math Education? Is anything wrong with math education? This was an early warning about thegroup developing what came to be called the New math. http://www.cut-the-knot.org/manifesto/wrong.shtml

Username: Password: Sites for teachers Sites for parents Awards Interactive Activities ... Sites for parents Is anything wrong with math education? Yes, something indeed is, as everyone knows. Of the many regrettable consequences that come to mind there are two I believe to be the most pernicious. With overemphasis on drills and standardized multiple-choice tests students (and teachers) develop a perception that To Err is Wrong This is despite the overwhelming evidence that mistakes often serve as stepping stones for correct answers, while failures of expectation form a most basic element of the learning process. When test after test after test, we are conditioned to provide (or select) just one possible answer, the idea that Is There Always One Right Answer? There Is Only One Right Answer Free vs. Pedantic Thinking becomes deeply ingrained in our process of thinking. It's almost obvious that, in Mathematics, if the sought answer is to prove something then in most cases it is impossible to expect a single correct one. Thus with the current education system Mathematics is being emptied of its most basic and characteristic element - deduction. The system violates two fundamental principles of creativity and learning methodology: Do not be afraid of failure.

A Few Quotes An existence proof informs the world that a treasure exists without disclosing its location - Hermann Weyl Proof, in its best instances, increases understanding by revealing the heart of the matter - Davis and Hersch A good proof is one which makes us wiser - Manin One proof is said to be more conceptual than another if it gives less information about the objects being studied - Borcherds "If I can give an abstract proof of something, I'm reasonably happy. But if I can get a concrete, computational proof and actually produce numbers I'm much happier." -John Milnor [If] a proof convinces you that there is a root of an equation (without giving you any idea where)-how do you know that you understand the proposition that there is a root? - Ludwig Wittgenstein, Remarks on the foundations of mathematics What shall one do with such theorems, if one has to use them? Accept them on faith? Probably. But it is not a very comfortable situation. -Serre (on theorems with long proofs, such as the classification of finite simple groups) I am also uneasy with some topics, mainly in differential topology, where the author draws a complicated picture (in two dimensions), and asks you to accept it as proof of something taking place in five dimensions or more. Only the experts can "see" whether such a proof is correct or not - if you can call this a proof. - Serre

Thoughts for the days I am ill at these numbers. - Shakespeare (Hamlet) The control of large numbers is possible, and like unto that of small numbers, if we subdivide them. - Sun Tze Mathematical rigour is like clothing; in its style it ought to suit the occasion, and it diminishes comfort and restrains freedom of movement if it is either too loose or too tight. - G. F. Simmons The science of numbers ought to be preferred as an acquisition before all others, because of its necessity and because of the great secrets and other mysteries which there are in the properties of numbers. All sciences partake of it, and it has need of none. - Boethius If your experiment needs statistics, you ought to have done a better experiment - Ernest Rutherford As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained. - Arthur Cayley I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning. - Plato Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. - Einstein Mathematics is not a deductive science - that is a cliche. When you try to prove a theorem, you don't just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork.
