Abstract
.The author examines the influence Pythagoras had on ancient learning, the Pythagorean Theorem, and the Pythagorean School, and notes that that the Pythagorean School was inspired by Pythagoras's genius. It was half religious and half scientific, and followed a code of secrecy which served its purpose in ancient times, but which has prevented historians from obtaining much information about Pythagoras other than through later second-hand sources.

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Stanley Kubrick's film, "Full Metal Jacket," and discusses how this film can be understood with relation to the Game Theory. The paper analyzes three characters from the film and considers how their choices in the film illustrate the viability of game theory. Game theory is described here as a mathematical formula that asseses outcomes of situations based on people's choices and the author of this paper sees Kubrick's film as an example of how outcomes are effected by particular choices.

Abstract
This paper is written on conceptual and procedural knowledge in mathematics. Procedural knowledge-or more appropriately skills-refers to the ability to physically solve a problem through the manipulation of mathematical skills: with pencil and paper, calculator, computer, etc. There is thus, in a theoretical sense, a difference between conceptual and procedural knowledge in mathematics.
