Knot Theory and Quantitative Literacy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing mathematical knot theory and how it can be used to illustrate quantitative literacy. A mathematical researcher noticed that the equations derived in the complex area of knot investigation were closely aligned with many of the standard equations of quantum physics. Further investigation reveals applicability of knot theory to the action of replicating DNA molecules, but the initial realization of knot theory's equations' similarities with other disciplines was possible only under quantitative literacy, in which the individual is able to draw conclusions in one area using information from another. It normally is explained within the framework of being able to apply arithmetic lessons to daily life, such as determining an appropriate restaurant tip. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Mercury: The Hottest Planet?
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page overview of the reasons behind the common misperception that Mercury is the hottest planet in its solar system because of its proximity to the Sun. This paper points out the recent discovery of planets which are even closer to the Sun as well as the fact that Venus (which is further from the Sun than Mercury) is actually hotter. The reason for that phenomenon is explained. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
