Quasicrystal, Penrose tiling A new example of a quasicrystal, with local 5-fold symmetry, was published in Nature on March 6, 2014. An Escheresque representation of the intermediate-range geometric isomorphism between a FcCOOH quasicrystal and a Penrose tiling. Kandel et al. analyze a scanning tunnelling micrograph of the structure by overlaying a pentagon on each pentamer. "... the pentagons and their interstitial spaces match the shapes in a Penrose 'P1' tiling (pentagon, rhombus, boat and star), with only a few small gaps in evidence. "Both Genders Think Women Are Bad at Basic Math" Math and March Madness More MoMath in the Times Previous (and also very positive) Times coverage of MoMath was picked up in this column here.
Math The Mathematics area of study is designed to build a strong foundation in mathematical understanding and procedural skills, as well as to prepare students to meet the standards for 21st Century critical thinking and problem solving. The Mathematics curriculum includes the areas of ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, expressions and equations, geometry, and statistics and probability. The courses are aligned with the Common Core State Standards and designed to cover the equivalent of a year-long, traditional school curriculum. The main goals of the Common Core State Standards are to establish the knowledge and skills necessary for college and career readiness among high school graduates, and to continually develop these skill sets at each grade level.
