    Overall SAT scores remain constant; math up slightly, verbal down  
    http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/3947876.htm
    
    Extractions: SAT scores for the high school class of 2002 were even with last year's graduates, as a two-point increase in math proficiency was offset by a two-point decrease on the language portion of the college entrance test. Figures released Tuesday by the College Board, the New York-based nonprofit which owns the SAT, reflect a cumulative score of 1,020 - identical to the average achieved by the class of 2001. Test-takers averaged 504 on the verbal segment of the test and 516 on the math section. Gaston Caperton, the College Board president, noted math scores have increased by 15 points over the past 10 years, and attributed the gain to a renewed emphasis on mathematics in the nation's high schools. The College Board said 45 percent of this year's high school seniors took precalculus, compared to 12 percent in 1992.

25. Mudd Math Fun Facts: Kaprekar's Constant
    Kaprekar's constant. Take bases. The math Behind the Fact Each number inthe sequence uniquely determines the next number in the sequence.  
    http://www.math.hmc.edu/funfacts/ffiles/10002.5-8.shtml
    
    Extractions: Francis Edward Su From the Fun Fact files, here is a Fun Fact at the Easy level: Take any four digit number (whose digits are not all identical), and do the following: Rearrange the string of digits to form the largest and smallest 4-digit numbers possible. Take these two numbers and subtract the smaller number from the larger. Use the number you obtain and repeat the above process. What happens if you repeat the above process over and over? Let's see... Suppose we choose the number 3141. Each number in the sequence uniquely determines the next number in the sequence. Since there are only finitely many possibilities, eventually the sequence must return to a number it hit before, leading to a cycle. So any starting number will give a sequence that eventually cycles. There can many cycles; however, for length 4 strings in base 10, there happens to be 1 non-trivial cycle, and it has length 1 (involving the number 6174).

26. Is The Speed Of Light Constant?
    updated 8August-1997 by Steve Carlip original by Philip Gibbs 1-July-1996. IsThe Speed of Light constant? Is the c, speed of light in vacuum, constant?  
    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/speed_of_light.htm
    
    Extractions: Original by Philip Gibbs 1996. There are a number of senses to the meaning of this question and so there are a number of different answers. Firstly . . . Yes. Light is slowed down in transparent media such as air, water and glass. The ratio by which it is slowed is called the refractive index of the medium and is always greater than one . This was discovered by Jean Foucault in 1850. When people talk about "the speed of light" in a general context they usually mean "the speed of light in a vacuum". This quantity is also referred to as c At the 1983 Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures the following SI (Systeme International) definition of the metre was adopted: The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. This defines the speed of light in vacuum to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s. This provides a very short answer to the question "Is

    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/constants.html
    
    Extractions: You might at first think that the speed of light, Planck's constant and Newton's gravitational constant are great examples of fundamental physical constants. But in fundamental physics, these constants are so important that lots of people use units where they all equal 1! The point is that can choose units of length, time and mass however we want. That's three independent choices, so with a little luck we can use them to get our favorite three constants to equal 1. Planck was the first to notice this, so these units are called "Planck units". Planck units are great for quantum gravity. They are not so convenient for other purposes, however. The Planck length, for example, is ridiculously small: about 2 x 10 meters. The Planck time looks even worse: about 5 x 10 seconds. The Planck mass is 2 x 10 kilograms. In ordinary life, and even in nuclear physics, Planck units can be a real nuisance. But in the grand scheme of things, units are not very important. They are arbitrary human conventions. As long as you stick with some choice or other you will do okay.

Consider the family of rectangles that have, not a constant area, but a constant perimeter, and answer these questions: Make at least 8 physical models of "baseless" cylinders from rectangles with perimeters of 39". You may cut the physical models from paper, draw two-dimensional versions (as in our drawing above), or choose some other method.

    Extractions: Associated Topics Dr. Math Home Search Dr. Math Date: 06/26/98 at 12:41:39 From: Sean Harper Subject: Is pi a constant in non-Euclidean geometry? My friends and I were arguing about whether or not Pi is a constant. I said that it is, and my friends said pi can't be a constant because it is irrational and it could be 3.1 or 3.14 or whatever, depending on how many digits you use. They were almost at the point of agreeing with me when they stumbled across a Web site that says Pi is not a constant because if a circle is stretched across a curved surface, then pi will be smaller, and it will grow larger if the circle has a negative curvature. I countered that for everyday purposes and for pi as we know it we need to assume that the circle is on a flat surface. My question is, who is right? Perhaps all of us are right in different cases. In which cases am I right and in which cases am I wrong, and why? http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ Associated Topics

    Extractions: (Sloane's ). It is implemented in Mathematica as EulerGamma The Euler-Mascheroni constant was denoted and calculated to 16 digits by Euler in 1781. It is therefore sometimes known as Euler's constant. No quadratically converging algorithm for computing is known (Bailey 1988). X. Gourdon and P. Demichel computed a record 108 million digits of in October 1999 (Gourdon and Sebah). It is not known if this constant is irrational , let alone transcendental (Wells 1986, p. 28). In fact, G. H. Hardy said he would give up his chair at Oxford to anyone who proved it to be irrational. Conway and Guy (1996) are "prepared to bet that it is transcendental," although they do not expect a proof to be achieved within their lifetimes. If is a simple fraction , then it is known that (Brent 1977; Wells 1986, p. 28).

    Extractions: Math (object) The Math object is a top-level object that you can access without using a constructor. Use the methods and properties of this object to access and manipulate mathematical constants and functions. All of the properties and methods of the Math object are static, and must be called using the syntax Math.method( argument or Math.constant . In ActionScript, constants are defined with the maximum precision of double-precision IEEE-754 floating-point numbers. The Math object is fully supported in the Flash 5 Player. In the Flash 4 Player, methods of the Math object work, but they are emulated using approximations and may not be as accurate as the non-emulated math functions supported by the Flash 5 Player. Several of the Math object methods take the radian of an angle as an argument. You can use the equation below to calculate radian values, or simply pass the equation (entering a value for degrees) for the radian argument. To calculate a radian value, use this formula:
