Depending on the amount of days, I would set 10 days aside for review on each mathematic course level. Ten days for geometry; ten days for algebra; ten days for _____; you get the point. You will have to study hardcore if you are going through a book in ten days. I don't know if you can do that or not. Have you thought about going to a local college or university library? These libraries often have textbooks with problems in them. I found the college library to be a goldmine when it came to mathematical texts; however, I once found a few glitches in a book, but they were not too serious. I would check out a local post-secondary educational library and see if they have any college-level mathematics books around. Look through them for questions. Typically the odd questions have answers in the back of the book. Update Edit: I don't know what to say about the courses: Math I, II, and III. I can say these courses may be described in the course catalog of the university. The course catalog is often found on the university's website. Typically the search of "catalog" will suffice for the search engine most university websites have.

I think the imperial system could use a change. I could never figure out how much Pokemon weighed on a Japanese card.

They were trying to build one, but it is too hard to create one. They need a larger workforce, and that workforce isn't going to appear soon. - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4857123 - http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/02/13/1076548223277.html?from=storyrhs They would need a gigantic team of people with Ph.D's left and right.

But the nanobots may be able to evolve faster than bacteria. That's the kicker.

Why would studying precalculus be different than studying college algebra and trignometry? Why would it be different than picking up a college algebra and trigonometry book and studying them? What type of material would be covered that is different than both combined? How is it all different?

No Steph; that is minusing everyone possible. I just totalled in a few. Perhaps 20-30%

Yes, how long can he survive.

That's going to screw up a lot of research projects. I'm pretty sure you could message some institutions and ask questions. I believe there is a particular one you could email, I can't remember the name, a prestigious medical/research facility.. Hopkin's? I always like to e-mail professors at different universities and medical staff at facilities about information pertaining to such research and development. The answers typically come more quickly. Sometimes they'll have a pre-typed email for those with questions. I've found emailing people with certain specialties gets a more detailed and specific answer.

Although, the grey-goo theory has been quite a fun thing to play around. An episode of the new Justice League of America on Cartoon Network displayed an episode of what would happen had the grey-goo scenario taken place. I actually discussed this physical and intelligent descent with modification to someone. I was watch Evangelion and talking about intelligent robots with a possible being. However, if you were to speak of robotics with self-assembly going through a period of evolution, then you would have to consider them having intelligence to be a person. Person, in this context, is a philosophical concept. I believe intelligence will suffice as a the defining attribute, until biological attributes can be acquired. Nano-tech would require A.I. while it is reproducing. Afterwards, the A.I. could be implemented to its newfound biology; thus, creating an eventual storage place: a brain. Biological attributes would be aquired through evolution. This then would allow such beings to become organisms. Depending on self-assembly and ability to have evolution, the robots would eventually gain a type of brain. Perhaps.. Nah.. maybe I should scrap this whole post.

I believe the highlight of the thermal depolymerization method was destroying waste. To me, the process I read about in a previous edition of Discover Magazine seemed like a large gastrobotic process. However, it's not really gastrobotics. I believe gastrobotics or robotics in relation to breaking down waste will create a more fuel efficient world. If energy sources were primarily from dead beings, would this process not be a similar method, but more advanced? ...more advanced then drilling up the ground for resources? One day people will be disposing their left-overs in a gastrobotic device. I wanted to create such a thing. I copyright the idea here and now. To tell you the truth, I couldn't stop thinking about gastrobot possibilities as I read the article. I had thought about robotics dismantiling food waste and turning it into energy for the longest time. Perhaps a year before I read the article about thermal depolymerization in Discover. Waste breaking technologies are still advancing. They will become energy and cost efficient.

I believe there may be some type of chemical signals that create emotions; thus, it would be possible to record the waves sent by such materials. I think Kevin Warwick was working on mental emotions and the ability to transmit them.

I would choose D: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_rotation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_orbit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking The moon is Terra's (Earth's) satellite.

About a year ago I discussed with someone on wikipedia the drawing of human energy. I had come to the point that nano-technology could be used to withdraw the energy from humans. The nano-tech would have a very low resistance; thus, creating a ground for energy. The person I spoke with called me a crackpot, but I believe this night holds for each and every one of us. However, there is a more serious question: how much energy is still required for a human being to maintain homeostasis? You must remember the Matrix was created after humanity's fight with artificial intelligence. An age beyond what we currently have as of this moment. The technologies we have today would look much different then. Perhaps an interesting liquid medium could have sustained life and yet took it away. A type of artificial blood consisting of iron atoms or a different metal, perhaps.

I believe a human child would do it to show others that he or she was not thinking correctly. However, depending on the age group, this would be an interesting and yet curious thing to talk about for a young child that has not discovered that the brain allows himself or herself to think. When a child is self-aware, I believe this hitting on the head would be represented to an audience to show that the child was not thinking at the time. A kind of "please forgive me. duhh. i did something stupid.. why didn't I think about this or that correctly?" Many have spoken about self-awareness for long periods of time. People question what allows us to notice that the body a person talks and walks with is his or her body. The person can see the body, but is the body really the person's? Some philosophical mumbo-jumbo included. Descartes discussed body existantialism at a time; I believe this was in Meditation 1: Let us suppose, then, that we are dreaming, and that all these particulars--namely, the opening of the eyes, the motion of the head, the forth- putting of the hands--are merely illusions; and even that we really possess neither an entire body nor hands such as we see. Nevertheless it must be admitted at least that the objects which appear to us in sleep are, as it were, painted representations which could not have been formed unless in the likeness of realities; and, therefore, that those general objects, at all events, namely, eyes, a head, hands, and an entire body, are not simply imaginary, but really existent. - Rene Descartes Such things would depend on the represented age group. I can not simply say that an infant does the action for the same reason a six-year-old does.

The metaphysical side of person biology. The inquiry was about how an individual could move in space. However, the topic was set in biology and not engineering, physics, or other. Therefore, I gave a response that would be attributed to the humans on the planet. ..oh.. it moved to the physics board.

TimbaLanD, what is the representative age group of children you are trying to find information on.

One would have to reach past multiple stages of mental enlightenment. This has not really been recorded scientifically; therefore, it is not possible to escape a black hole as of lately; this is according the the individual being alone in space without external devices. Or at least not many people know about a current possible scientific procedure.

Well, it depends on how drunk you get. If you get sloshed/hammered to the point that you think all the men or women around are attractive, then you pretty much are too drunk. A few drinks every other hour with some food won't get someone too hammered, as long as the proof is low. If I were on holiday leave for a festival, I would enjoy myself. I wouldn't get too hammered, because things would be boring. Drinks are always best when going dancing, but a whole two weeks of being drunk would take away from all the fun. If your main goal of this vacation is to get drunk and take advantage of the cheap liquor, then I'm not to tell you no. But serious physical damage could occur. To reduce the risk of alcohol is to only drink less alcohol. Alcohol is a downer like that.

So a person can put it in the center of the town square. - Vlad Dracula reference. There are many anecdotes about the philosophy of Vlad Tepes Dracula. He was for instance particularly known throughout his land for his fierce insistence on honesty and order. Almost any crime, from lying and stealing to killing, could be punished by impalement. Being so confident in the effectiveness of his law, Dracula placed a golden cup on display in the central square of Tirgoviste. The cup could be used by thirsty travelers, but had to remain on the square. According to the available historic sources, it was never stolen and remained entirely unmolested throughout Vlad's reign.

Canary.. funny. I believe such a medication that would tamper with the metabolic pathways would have to cost a user a certain amount of money. You'll have to add in costs of going to a gym and burning the weight through diet versus the medication. Going to a gym can cost about $700.00+ USD a year. Going on a diet can be expensive in itself; food for a specialized diet is costy. Such an event occured during the awakening of the Atkin's nutritional approach; eggs went up about $0.10 USD. I assume you could charge lots of money for such a "magic bullet." Totaling in the money of going to a gym, one could assume such a pill would cost $130+ USD. If you were to total in the number of United States American citizens (with about 60% overweight and 35% obsese?), which is about 200 million adults (I think), you would gain well over a billion dollars. However, that money would have to be spread against production costs, legality problems, and so forth. I would assume you could make over $250 million when you are done. But let us say that you allow overseas markets into your diabolical eugenics plan of a skinny persons' world. You would make over $1 billion. There are about seven billion humans on Terra now? With $100 USD a pop, there should be a chance to make over a billion in U.S. currency. Many variables can still be plugged in. This is if a person only buys the pill once. People can gain about a pound of weight a day. If the pill helps someone lose 30 pounds, then he or she will probably buy a pill every 30 days.

In a serious long-term scenario, consisting of multiple years, a person would encounter lower-life expectancy. Such things happened in the colonial days of North America. Water was filled with bacteria and other such germs; people countered this by drinking rum and other alcoholic beverages. Alcohol was the choice drink.

The immune system would be shot for a while. The chance of alcohol poisoning would increase. One would experience throwing up more often. There could be a slim possibility of gaining alcoholism. A withdrawal period may occur. Getting hammered for two weeks is not a good idea.

Clone a venus fly trap plant. A radical point of such an experiment: it eats things. If you're tired of cloning, you could totally breed a bigger and more ruthless one each time.
