Description of the Problem
How did the concept of number arise? Imagine explaining the number "three" to a two year old. You would take collections of three oranges, three crayons, three blocks, and three cookies, and then try to get them to see the common feature of each of those collections of objects. Each of those collections is a set, a set containing three elements. Mathematicians also use sets to define the number concept. One of the most useful operations on sets is to take all of its subsets, each possible sub-collection of the original collection. AMOF can list all subsets of a finite set in a variety of ways. n element set is 2 n since each element is either included in the subset or it isn't. For n = 0,1,2,...,10, the value of 2 n is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024. These, of course, are the powers of 2.
Gray Codes
In Gray code order successive subsets differ by exactly one element. There are many such Gray codes; the one we use is called The B inary R eflected G ray C ode (or BRGC). The

Description of the Problem
What are the different ways that Alice, Bob, Carol, and David can pair up to ride on a roller coaster car that has two seats in the front and two in the back? Who sits on the left and who on the right doesn't matter. We can immediately simplify the problem by observing that after the two front seats are taken, there is no choice about who goes into the back. One way of solving the problem is to list all possible front pairs: Alice and Bob, or Alice and Carol, or Alice and David, or Bob and Carol, or Bob and David, or Carol and David; there are exactly six ways. What we have just done is to list all "combinations" of two persons chosen from four persons. Similarly we could form the combinations of any number of persons from a larger group of persons. Below we give a mathematical definition of what constitutes a combination. A set is a collection of objects, and a subset k -combination of an n -set is a subset with k elements chosen from a set with n In the Amazing Mathematical Object Factory (AMOF), the set from which subsets are made is always the set [

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician in the 1600s. He worked with a pattern of numbers (Pascal's triangle) to solve many counting problems. Pascal's triangle is formed by putting 1's along two "sides" of a triangle, then adding the two numbers above to the right and left to get the next number in the pattern. Pascal's triangle can be used to solve the challenge. Pascal's triangle was in Chu Shih-chieh's Precious Mirror of Four Elements, a fourteenth century book in China.

Course Notes - Pascal's Triangle
EXAMPLE ALGORITHM: Pascal's Triangle (for a different link, click here
Given any positive integer , the expression (1 + x) n can be written in the form (1 + x) n = b n,0 + b n,2 x + ... + b n,n x n for suitable numbers b n,m . This can be obtained by multiplying (1 + x) n times with itself and adding up equal powers of x
As an example, (1 + x) + x and thus b = 1, b = 3, b = 3, b
The numbers b n,m are called "binomial coefficients." Collecting the binomial coefficients into a table of the form:
b
b b
b b b
b b b b
one obtains "Pascal's Triangle." Pascal's Triangle has a very long history. It was mentioned by an early Chinese mathematician Chu Shih-chieh in 1303, and was known to Omar Khayyam, who lived from 1043 to 1123. It obtained its name because it appeared in Blaise Pascal's Traite du Triangle Arithmetique , which was published in 1653. The first 6 lines of the "triangle" are:
Each number in Pascal's triangle is the sum of the two numbers in the previous line that are above the desired number.

The multiculturalist crowd has set
The multiculturalist crowd has set it's sights on another target, mathematics. There are calls to teach " Ethnomathematics To redress their pedagogical grievances, these ethnomathematicians want math curriculums that place greater emphasis on the systems of previous civilizations and certain traditional cultures. Studies of state civilizations might focus on Chinese or Arabic math concepts. One study, for example, has shown how the Chinese Chu Shih-chieh triangle anticipated by more than three centuries the highly similar arrangement of numerals by Pascal that holds sway in many Western teachings of probability theory. Now this may all be well and good in a "History of Mathematics" course, but I fail to see what advantage HS and JHS students of mathematics will gain from learning about "quipu, bundles of cotton cord knotted by Incans according to a sophisticated base-10 numeration system". Firstly, the basic premise that math "is absolutely integrated with Western civilization, which conquered and dominated the entire world" is incorrect. A good part of the foundation for modern algebra, number theory etc came to Europe from India and the Arabs. And while "African kinship numerics or Peruvian bead counting" may be interesting historical studies they will not help students learn how to solve Diophantine equations or master the mathematics, such as calculus or statistics or algebra, required for any study of modern science. As David Klein is quoted in the article:

Risk and Choice By Richard MacMinn Keynote Speech Presentation at The International Risk Management and Insurance Conference Taipei July
Introduction
Risks are commodities that may be exchanged. The corporation, long viewed as a nexus of contracts, may also be viewed as a nexus of risks. The corporation may be described as a composite commodity or bundle of risks that may be separated. (Kohn 1999) An economy may achieve an efficient allocation of risks as well as resources through separation and trading, i.e., see (Arrow 1963) or (Debreu 1959) Risks have traditionally been categorized as speculative or pure. The speculative risk may yield a gain or a loss. Aristotle provides an early example of a speculative risk in Book I of Politics. He tells a story about the philosopher T h a les of Miletus. According to the story, Thales was chided because he was poor and that was taken to be evidence that philosophy is of no practical value. Thales demonstrated the foolishness of the reproach. Thales had exceptional skill in reading the stars. One winter he foresaw that the autumn olive harvest would be much larger than normal.

    The Chinese civilization is recognized by many as one of the oldest ones in the world, and it is definitely the one that we have the most knowledge of. The mythical Xia-dynasty is said to be founded by the Great Yu approximately 2500 bc, but of this we have no archeologically evidence. This is also the case with the succeeding Shang-dynasty, however there are so many references to it in ancient Chinese texts that we are certain of its existence. Of the Chou-dynasty, founded by the Duke of Chou in 1200 bc, we have much evidence. This dynasty, which lasted impressing eight hundred years, is also the one where we find traces of mathematical works. It is however difficult to determine its date of origin, because most of the works are lost, and many historians have tended to overestimate the age of the works that are preserved.
    The Chou Pei Suan Ching is generally considered to be the oldest of the mathematical classics, however estimates of its age differ by almost a thousand years, from 1200 b.c to the first century before our era. It is generally believed to be a product of the early Han dynasty (approximately 200 bc). Chou Pei contains astronomical calculations, which has always been of supreme importance to the ruling powers in ancient China. The Emperor was the only person on Earth with the power to communicate directly to the gods, and a good way of proving this to the people was to predict astronomical events such as solar and lunar eclipses. The beginning of the book, which is the oldest part of the text, contains the following discussion of right-angled triangles:

    Between 1612 and 1844, quite a few Chinese intellectuals visited or stayed in Taiwan, most notably the Ming poet Shen Kuang-wen ¨H¥ú¤å, who was forced to land on the island by a typhoon in 1662 and afterward played an important role in forming a Taiwanese poets society under the name of Tung-yin Chu-lo-hsien chih ½Ñ¹¿¤§Ó by Chen Meng-lin ³¯¹ÚªL (who arrived in Taiwan in 1716) and Hsiao-liu-chiu man-chih ¤p¯[²yº©»x by Chu Shih-chieh ¦¶¤hÍk (who stayed from June 1763 until August 1764).

In 1911, Liang Chi-chao ±ç±Ò¶W visited Taiwan and brought with him ideas of Western enlightenment and experimental literature. Even though Taiwanese writers of the time were versed in the classical Chinese tradition, they were forced to confront the colonial reality and to work in more realistic modes of literary expression.

    Accidental Death of an Anarchist
    Premiere:
    November 12, 1995,
    National Arts Hall, Taipei ABOUT THE PLAY: Dario Fo¡¦s mischievous yet haunting work is set in a police station, where outside a crowd has gathered to protest the ¡§accidental¡¨ death of an anarchist who supposedly fell from the precinct window. The play is dominated by a seeming madman who has been apprehended by the police, released, but keeps hanging around while changing identities, gradually forcing the political truth from the other characters.
    The play was directed by Chin Shih-chieh, one of Taiwan¡¦s foremost playwright/directors in his own right, who had performed in many Workshop productions, and he brought a surrealistic touch to the zany action. The play also served as a showcase for the talents of Zhao Ziqiang, who played the main role, constantly transforming into different personas on stage. It also featured the set of noted architect John Wei-jan Yang. The political overtones in the play fit well with Taiwan politics, and the play opened at a time of several mysterious deaths in the Taiwan military, all claimed to be ¡§accidental,¡¨ but later proved to be the result of foul play.
