I'm reading the second book of the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larson. The story starts with a paragraph about equations. Can you complete the gaps? Use comments and write your name:
PART 1: Irregular Equations
DECEMBER 16–20
Equations are classified by the highest (a)________ (value of the exponent) of their unknowns. If this is one, the equation is of (b)________ degree. If this is (c)________, the (d)________ is of second degree, and so on. Equations of higher degree than one yield multiple possible values for their unknown quantities. These values are known as (e)________.
The first-degree equation (the linear equation):

If you click on the path you will see some statistics. This was taken by a GPS sensor, though not a very accurate one. Can you find some information about GPS system? How does it works? Remember, produce your own information from what you read on the web, but do not copy-paste.
Put a positive number in each light. Each number in the top row is a single digit. Each number not the top row is the sum of the numbers in the two lights just above it. The 2 red lights contain the same number, as do the 2 yellow lights, and the 2 green lights.

Today is a very special day. It's Friday, November 11th, 2011. I'm sure you've heard a lot of tales and superstitions about this "repeating number day". There is even a film about it.
Try to find some stories about this day.
Can you find more things about special days like this?
When was the last day with a similar date? When is the next one?
Can you calculate the number of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds from the last "repeating number day" to November 11th, 2011? And from november 11th, 2011 to the next "repeating number day"? Is there anything you can tell about these calculations?
Find the information and tell us what you've found.
Last month I was present at
Davis Cup Semifinal in "Los Califas" Bullring meeting Spain
vs France. Cordoba Bullring has ten grandsatnds. In one of them
(exactly in number two) there were a lot of France fans. Now try to
answer these questions:
When was the bullring inaugurated?
What was the first event in this
bullring?
Who were the major figures of the
opening?
Write any word you don't understand and
find the meaning in a dictionary.
Let's suppose that French fans are 1/5
of one grandstand. The total number of spectators was about 14,000.
Can you calculate how many French spectators came to the Semifinal?
Explain the calculating process.
Write everything in a
sheet of paper and give it to your teacher.
