Special Assignment #1

I was not aware of Wolfram/Alpha or Googled Squared and was amazed at how mathematically in depth Wolfram/Alpha was.  The facts that were reported in "Do You Know" are correlated with population between China, India, and the U.S.  The percentage of China's population to the U.S. population is 22.2 %  Which is gotten by .3/1.35.  The percentage of India's population to the population of the U.S. is 24.8% .  Which is gotten by .3/1.21.  The population of China is 1.35 billion, India's population is 1.21 billion, and the U.S. is 309 million.
Wolfram/Alpha and Googled Squared are two more resources to get facts.  They will be utilized in my classroom.
