4th Vietnam Mathematical Olympiad 1965
1. At time t = 0, a lion L is standing at point O and a horse H is at point A running with speed v perpendicular to OA. The speed and direction of the horse does not change. The lion's strategy is to run with constant speed u at an angle 0 < φ < π/2 to the line LH. What is the condition on u and v for this strategy to result in the lion catching the horse? If the lion does not catch...

Why Mathematics is so great?
What's correlation between the structure of the mathematical theory and object structure? My ideas about mathematics: Sign language of mathematically is a system non-contradiction. Mathematical language is a language system form of symbolic. Mathematics is a scientific inference, the type of theoretical knowledge. System of mathematical objects are determined a priori object class but applied mathematics achievement...

Class Seminar: Application of Mathematics?
In what ways do mathematics affect our lives? (Consider things like human-based computing, statistics and probability, applied mathematics). When can information be considered property that can be protected by formal laws? What do visual elements (pattern, shape, size, proportion, texture, color, and proximity of buildings) contribute to the identity of a city? References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_mathe...

How to make Long Division with Remainders?
When we are given a long division to do it will not always work out to a whole number. Sometimes there will be numbers left over. These are known as remainders. e.g: 435 ÷ 25 4 ÷ 25 = 0 remainder 4 The first number of the dividend is divided by the divisor. ...
Teaching Long Division and Double Division
"Teaching Double Division can help in teaching long division by reinforcing the principles of division and giving students success with a less frustrating alternative. Double Division does not depend on memorizing the multiplication facts or estimating how many times one number goes into another. It may take 50% longer, but it is far less frustrating and probably easier to understand than Long Division. It's Easy!Step...
