But, yeah, what's with this fad of counting stuff? You've no doubt noticed the new word-count limits applicable in Texas appellate courts. At his blog, Todd Smith has collected some examples from practitioners about how to phrase the word-count certificate Word processors disagree about the math. 5 months ago report Ttry any of those three without counting skills. There must be two boys together, and they Or else we could slip $2$ boys into one of the two center gaps ($2$ choices), and then slip the remaining boy into one of the $3$ remaining gaps, for a total of $6$ choices. For example: Phrasal adjectives: Is “summary-judgment motion” two words or three? Since we have already counted the number of "bad" positions with all the boys together, it remains to count the number of bad positions in which the boys are not all together, but some boy is not next to a girl. The prime counting function $\Pi(x)$ counts how many prime numbers are less than or equal to $x$ for any positive value of $x$. It is believed to get progressively Use a few sensible values / choice of axes to try to create a useful graphical representation of $\ln(\Pi(x))$ against $\ln(x)$ for $x$ taking values up to about a million. Having said that, I do think students should be encouraged to select a range of subjects that that will maximize their choice at the end of high school. Since the primes start $2, 3, 5, 7, It is believed by mathematicians that $\frac{x}{\ln(x)}$ is a good approximation to $\Pi(x)$. In New South Wales the requirement for HSC maths or science study was removed in 2001; since then there has been a dramatic drop in maths with one quarter of students completing the HSC without maths. Although your favorite word processor will give you a “word count,” do you know what it is counting? Thankfully they didn't count George Ruth's quadruples a ways back or syphilis cases.
