Two Things i like about math:

 1 i like working with numbers

 2 i like algebra

1. Using the database demonstrated in class, and the following simple statements search for (paranthesis required) answer the following questions. Let

       d = death penalty 13452

       c = capital punishment 27654

       n = New York State 100987

Search for:

1. n /\ ( d \/ c )       New York State and (death penalty or capital punishment)160
2. ( n /\ d ) \/ c       (New York State and death penalty) or capital punishment5333
3. n /\ d \/ c            New York State and death penalty or capital punishment160
4. ( n /\ d) \/ ( n /\ c)  (New York State and death penalty) or (New York State and capital punishment)149 

   2.   In part 1, which searches yield the same results and why?  a and c  had the same results because it is the same search but written in different ways. 

   3.  Letter A is B and C

         Letter B is B and C

       Letter C is A

       Letter D is D

       Letter E is A

       Letter F is B and C
