Finance 2014 including Debt and Population
Yesterday we visited Finance and Math in the NY Times Business section including looking at the biggest movers of the year so far like Google and also at the Mutual Funds report for the second quarter
Today we discussed hyperinflation in Germany in the 1920's
Moore's Law
both of the above are exponential functions
also we checked out the pop clock http://www.census.gov/popclock/
and the debt clock http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Steven got into the Harbor School
We are so excited
When Steven called me I was teaching at the college and had told my students that I was expecting a call...when I saw the number come thru I picked up and heard "Mom I got in!!"
It was done by lottery and when we went to visit they did not have our name because I had entered it into the computer too early in Sept
So we called many times and then it was not until Nov that I went to pick up Steven at school and Ruth Joseph was in the office and called while I was there. Luckily I had my phone in my pocket b/c Ruth was asked what date we were there. When she told the Asst Principal, the response was "Oh now I see his name written in"
We then emailed the principal and AP and then sent a printout of the email via snail mail with a maritime stamp
We are soo excited
