"Solve for X and Y using either substitution or elimination methods. a. X + Y= 6 ,  2X + Y = 8 b. 7X + 3Y = 14 ,  5X + 9Y = 10 "

"Suppose Bob owns 2,000 shares of Company X and 10,000 shares of Company Y.  The total value of Bob's holdings of these two companies is $340,000. Suppose Frank owns 8,000 shares of Company X and 6,000 shares of Company Y.  The total value of Franks holdings of these two companies...

"1. Sharanda is tiling the wall behind her bathtub. The area to be tiles measures 48inches by 60 inches. What is the largest square tile she can use and not have to cut any tiles 2. There are 84 turkey & 63 ham sandwiches to be placed on trays. Each tray should have one kind of sandwich...

Designed as a text as well as a treatise for active mathematicians, this volume begins with an unusual notice: "The book is addressed to those who know the meaning of each word in the title." As such, it constituted the first systematic account of the theory of rings of continuous functions,...

This book is a blend of recent developments in theoretical and computational aspects of group theory. It presents the state-of-the-art research topics in different aspects of group theory, namely, character theory, representation theory, integral group rings, the Monster simple group, computational...

Vedic Math is simple and easy way of mathematics. It is mental and therefore 2 to 5 times faster than conventional methods. It is also very helpful in competitive exams. Vedic math has only 16 main formulae and these formulae cover most of the methods. Therefore, the methods are repeatable and easy...

"1. Students at Washington Middle School collected 126 cans of fruit, 326 cans of soup and 210 cans of vegetables for a food drive. Teh students are making care packages.  If they divide each type of canned good evenly what is the greatest number of care packages so that no canned goods...

The McKay conjecture is the origin of the counting conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to these conjectures, while assuming minimal background knowledge. Character theory is explored in detail along the way, from the very basics to...

Concise and authoritative, this monograph is geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The main theorems whose proofs are given here were first formulated by Lefschetz and have since turned out to be of fundamental importance in the topological aspects of algebraic geometry. The...

This comprehensive reference summarizes the proceedings and keynote presentations from a recent conference held in Brussels, Belgium. Offering 1155 display equations, this volume contains original research and survey papers as well as contributions from world-renowned algebraists. It focuses on new results in classical Hopf algebras as well as the

A Study of the Rights, the Origin, and the Social Function of the Wealthier Classes. 

Il saggio affronta gli eventi salienti dell’evoluzione storica e filosofica del concetto di numero. Una sorta di compendio, uno sguardo panoramico dalla numerazione arcaica sumera, agli assiomi dell’aritmetica, ai numeri ipercomplessi. Nei vari capitoli si dà un ampio resoconto sugli studi per...

Funktionen und Koordinatensysteme spielen in der Mathematik eine wichtige Rolle – und im täglichen Leben auch. Meist merken wir es gar nicht oder sind uns über die mathematischen Hintergründe von Grafiken gar nicht klar, die wir in den Medien sehen. Deswegen werden in diesem Essential die Grundlagen...
