Candid Student Reports

The following (emails) were written by members of the Math Explorations, Session C during the fourth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

Today we learned many different 
things about where one item 
would land and what you had to 
do in oder to figure out where 
it would land.

-Mario

 Today we learnd how to change 
 numbers into codes and back again.
 today was great!!!!!

-Oliver

Today we worked on binary. 
We also did prime numbers.

-Timothy

Today we explored into codes 
and how to figure out how to 
decode them and create them 
using math.We went a lot 
into learning a lot about caesar
cypher and how to use math to 
decode things like that.We 
also used graphs to decode 
different codes. It was very 
interesting a fun to do.

-Chris

Today we learned about how 
calculation on a computer 
can be just as slow as a 
human by encrypting it with 
a code or password. 
It was very fun!!

-Dominque

Today we learned about 
decoding and computer modeling.  
I can't believe it would take 
half a million years just to 
program where one square
inch of water is.
