The force that acts across the air gaps between magnets is the same force that creates wonders such as the Aurora Borealis. In fact, magnetic effects pervade our lives in myriad ways, from electric motors to medical imaging and computer memory. In this chapter, we introduce magnets and learn how they work and how magnetic fields and electric currents interact.
Introduction to magnetism: Wikipedia article that provides an overview of the concept.
This video looks at set notation, Venn diagrams and probability.
This online activity is a math game on rounding numbers.
This is an online activity that provides you with various exercises on rounding whole numbers.
Sometimes, when the probability problems are complex, it can be helpful to graph the situation. Tree diagrams and Venn diagrams are two tools that can be used to visualize and solve conditional probabilities.
This online lesson explores these two tools.
