Ten Algebraic Commandments
The Ten Comandments video was really intresting because I didnt know there were 10 comandments pertaining to math. Seeing these made me realize I have broken a couple throughout my years as a math student. To start with I've broken the 3rd commandment of math and the 9th commandment. The third one was to do on one side of the equation to the other side, I sometimes forget to do that. The 9th commandment was to help thy neighbor and honestly I kind of stress over my math, that it seems too much to help others, which seems selfish...So yes I have broken 2 of the math commandments or more if i dont recall doing them. Now that I have broken thses rules, I guess I could follow them in order to keep them or remind myself what they are when I do math. My thought of this video was positive, I did like it and it kind of made me laugh. Esspecially that part where it sayd not to use "O" as a variable because its similar to 0(zero), and the video made me think of what are the mistakes of math I ussually do.

Mathematics Seen in Photo A
In Photo number one I see many mathematic involved in it. To start math is an everyday thing, so no matter where your at theres math :). Again, to start, adding the total number of cars would be about 100 or more! Seeing the m.p.h. they are going at and counting how many they need to reduce or how they can increase it. Also another mathematics thing in thi photo would be the miles they need to get to while they read the signs for example: 23miles to Brooklyn. The drivers would read and calculate the number or miles left and how much they've traveled. Now, going beyond the logics, what can a curious person could infer about math here. More math in this would be the width of the highway going horizontal, or how many days it took to construct one of these cars or the highway itself, or the number of tickets given out during a 10 year long period. Well to conclude picture A these are the mathematical things I found in it.
