A ballistic missile shield allows you to shoot incoming missiles out of the sky. Mathematically, this is an example of a linear-quadratic system. Students graph such a system and find the points of intersection between a line and a parabola.

In this episode of Algebra Applications, two real-world explorations are developed: Biology. Analyzing statistics from honey bee production allows for a mathematical analysis of the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder. Geology. Why do rivers meander instead of traveling in a straight line?

An overview of the key topics to be covered in the video.

This is part of a collection of videos from the Algebra Applications video series on the topic of Variables and Equations.

Honey bees not only produce a tasty treat, they also help pollinate flowering plants that provide much of the food throughout the world. So, when in 2006 bee colonies started dying out, scientists recognized a serious problem.

Why do rivers meander instead of traveling in a straight line? In going from point A to point B, why should a river take the circuitous route it does instead of a direct path?

What are the two meanings of statistics? What does it really mean that an event has a 50% probability of occurring? Why are data analysis and probability always taught together? Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr.

Functions are relationships between quantities that change. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, this video explores the definition of a function, its vocabulary and notations, and distinguishes the concept of function from a general relation.

In this Investigation we explore the definition of a Relation. This video is Segment 1 of a 4 segment series related to Functions and Relations.

In this Math Lab we look at different mappings to define functions and relations. This video is Segment 2 of a 4 segment series related to Functions and Relations.

In this Investigation we look at functions. This video is Segment 3 of a 4 segment series related to Functions and Relations.

In this Math Lab a hands-on toothpick activity is used to generate a non-linear function. This video is Segment 4 of a 4 segment series related to Functions and Relations.
