Education & Reference - 1 October 2006

Am I crazy to think that degrees can be earned by a student studying a specialty under a expert in that field using a curriculum that is constantly updated by the technical experts in that field. Say a person who wishes to be a doctor would get a job in a hospital or as a paramedic and study medicine from the ground level up. There would be a list of tests that that person must take to show that they learned the skill. Can we do it the way that they used to do it before their where universities. The way we learn now is outdated.

I am a military accountant and I know that most of what I learned has been from asking questions to the technical experts.

Most high school students know how to write in html. They learned this without cracking one college text book.

All science books have the wrong info in regards to the solar system.

Give a direct proof.
Let x be an integer. If 11x-5 is odd, then x is even.

Asuume 11x-5 is odd
11x-5= (2k+1)
so, x= 2k+1
11(2k+1)-5
22k+1-5 = 22k-4
Since 22k-4 is an integer 11x-5 is odd

Give an indirect proof.
Assume that x is odd. Then 2k+1 for some integer k
so, 11x-5= 11(2k+1)-5 = ? I am a bit confused with this one.


---------------------------------------------------------
Let x be an integer. Prove that 5x-11 is even if and only if x is odd.
Direct proof: Assume x is odd, then x=2k+1, for some integer k
so, 5(2k+1)-11 = 10k+5-11 = 10k-6= 2(5k-3)
Since (5k-3) is an integer, 5x-11 is even.

Assume x is even. Then x= 2l, for some integer l . Therefore, 5(2l)-11= 10l-11=
10l-12+1= 2(5l-6)+1
Since 5l-6 is an integer, 5x-11 is odd.
---------------------------------------------------------

Let x be an integer. Prove that x^3 is even if and only if x is even.

Proof: Assume that x is even. Then x=2k for some integer k.
Therefore, x^3=(2k)^3 = 8k^3= 2(4k^3)
Because 4k^3 is an integer, then integer k^3 is even.

For the Converse, assume x is odd. x=(2l+1), for some integer l.
x^3= (2l+1)^3= (2l+1)(2l+1)(2l+1)= 8l^3+12l^2+6l+1= 2(4l^3+6l^2+3l)+1
since (4l^3+6l^2+3l) is an integer, x^3 is even

I'm in college and have a practical exam tomorrow and feel confident in myself, but I keep looking at the stuff over and over and over. Could I over study and screw myself up? That's what I feel like I'm doing, except I feel guilty if I'm not studying....!

Can someone assist me in the proper phrasing of the question for my thesis statement?

"Because it does not tell the truth, imaginative literature must shut down readers' rational faculties, in order that it can appeal to their emotions; the effect of such literature, then, is to weaken the minds of its readers." -plato
