Math Trek
Science News has a (mostly) online column called Math Trek that appears roughly monthly and is a great source for interesting math stories, many of which can be shared with your math class.
The value of quantity playing cards is similar as displayed on the cardboard. The Ace card counts as 1 or eleven, relying on whether or not eleven would 토토사이트 bust the player/dealer. The vendor will attempt to face at or above a worth of 17. Players who did not bust and have an equal or higher card value than the vendor win; if the vendor busts, anybody who did not bust wins.

I did my undergraduate work at the University of Michigan, earning a Bachelors degree in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science and received both a Masters degree in Mathematics and a Masters degree in Computer Science from the University of Colorado.
For over 25 years I worked in industry managing IT departments for a diverse collection of companies before returning in 2003 to my original love: teaching Mathematics.
Since then I have taught over 250 classes at 5 different schools, teaching nearly everything from Arithmetic to Calculus III. I am particularly interested in the intersection of technology, mathematics and teaching.
I am currently a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at American River College. I live with my wife, Ann, in Natomas. In my spare time, I like to read, travel and keep at least one finger in technology.
