MATHEMATICS LABORATORY IN SCHOOLS
MATHEMATICS LABORATORY IN SCHOOLS It is a place where: 1) Students do experiments with numbers and geometrical shapes and try to generalize these patterns. 2) Students do most of their calculations with the help of scientific calculators. 3) Students draw graphs of large number of functions with the help of scientific or graphic calculators and try to become familiar with graphs of all the functions they usually deal with. 4) Students solve real life problems with real data because complex calculations are no longer a major consideration. 5) Students express their answers to mathematics problems in decimal numbers and not in symbols and have a good idea about their magnitudes. … Read entire article »

Influenza: How a Microbe Was Repackaged And Sold As A Virus by Lawrence Broxmeyer MD
Pfieffer’s influenza bacillus, a bacteria, was heavily isolated at one time or another in 1918 victims by practically all major research centers in the United States. It was therefore considered, by most, to be the cause of influenza until at least 1933. And Bradford’s, Bashford and Wilson’s 1919 influenza isolates, although easily passing through a filter, where again minute bacteria, isolated from blood and sputum in a number of cases. Their nearest competitor – a vague “filterable virus”. Although the term virus has existed since 1898, the infectious agent it was attempting to describe was so unclear and mysterious that for many decades scientists considered it purely theoretical. Certainly, even by 1917 “influenza” was still not felt to be serious enough to be a reportable disease and no doctor had … Read entire article »
