Mathematics Discussion

This discussion is an opportunity for you to dig deeper into one of the topics that interests you. For example, Dave Ramsey has several self-help books about getting out of debt. There are shorter versions of investment strategies published regularly in the news and even whole publications dedicated to helping people understand the market. Or review the stocks for some of your favorite companies to see which one you think would make a good investment.

Post your response to one question from “Writing across the curriculum” at the end of chapter 5 in the “Finite Mathematics” book. Look for something interesting posted by your peers, so you can respond to their posts with what you learned from their choices.

Answer one of the following from the book:
Writing Across the Curriculum
1. Include copies of web pages from two financial web sites. Write a paragraph describing what you discovered at each website. Write a summary of what you learned overall.

2. Read a self-help book about investment, financial planning, purchasing a home, or other financial topic. Write a report summarizing the most important aspects of the book.

3. Research a company of interest to you. Write a report summarizing basic information about the company and why you would or would not invest in the company.
