	Power
		The commonest non-SI unit of power is the horsepower, which is equivalent to 33,000 foot-pounds per minute, or the power required to lift 550 pounds one foot in one second, and is equivalent to about 746 watts.
		The power consumption of a human is on average roughly 100 watts, ranging from 85 W during sleep to 800 W while playing a strenuous sport.
		The average power load by a two-terminal electrical device is a function of the root mean square values of the sine-shaped voltage across the terminals and the sine-shaped current passing through the device.

	MSSG: What is Important in School Mathematics
		The value of a mathematical education and the power of mathematics in the modern world arise from the cumulative nature of mathematics knowledge.
		Such an expert panel for school mathematics would ideally be composed of distinguished scholars in mathematics and in mathematics education, along with representatives from the schools where the instruction occurs-- practicing teachers-- and representatives from companies and institutions who employ graduates-- mathematical experts from the private sector.
		Mathematical reasoning and problem-solving should be an integral component of school instruction in the sciences, in the same way that reading and writing are.

	Illinois Learning Standards for Mathematics
		Mathematics is a language we use to identify, describe and investigate the patterns and challenges of everyday living.
		Mathematics is much more than a collection of concepts and skills; it is a way of approaching new challenges through investigating, reasoning, visualizing and problem solving with the goal of communicating the relationships observed and problems solved to others.
		The solving of problems is at the heart of "doing mathematics." When people are called on to apply their knowledge of numbers, symbols, operations, measurement, algebraic approaches, geometric concepts and relationships, and data analysis, mathematics' power emerges.

	An overview of the history of mathematics
		The Babylonian basis of mathematics was inherited by the Greeks and independent development by the Greeks began from around 450 BC.
		Major progress in mathematics in Europe began again at the beginning of the 16th Century with Pacioli, then Cardan, Tartaglia and Ferrari with the algebraic solution of cubic and quartic equations.
		The most important mathematician of the 18 C was Euler who, in addition to work in a wide range of mathematical areas, was to invent two new branches, namely the calculus of variations and differential geometry.

		Mathematically powerful students use mathematical thinking, mathematical ideas, communication, tools and techniques, individually and collaboratively, appreciating history and society, with confidence and enthusiasm.
		Mathematical thinking at its most powerful grows out of the kinds of thinking that are naturally part of everyone's repertoire.
		It is not acceptable for elementary school mathematics to be concentrated solely on arithmetic or for high school mathematics to be concent rated solely on algebra and geometry.

	Preface
		Imagine having the power to foster children's mathematical power—the ability to excite them about mathematics, to help them see that it makes sense, and to enable them to harness its might for solving everyday and extraordinary problems.
		Unfortunately, the mathematics curriculum, the instructional practices, and assessment methods that you might be accustomed to (e.g., a focus on written arithmetic procedures, lectures and work sheets, and timed tests) are generally not effective in promoting children's mathematical power.
		William Brownell (1935) agreed that mathematics instruction should not be taught in isolation or without purpose but felt that incidental learning did not adequately develop the meaningful concepts and thinking processes needed for real arithmetical ability.

	Science Advisor to the President John H. Marburger, III -- Papers and Presentations, Mathematics and Science Initiative
		Mathematics is embedded in the entire universe of human and natural phenomena—not only in the motions of elementary particles, or the intricate dance of molecules in the very cells of life, nor only in the realm of natural science, but also in the practical affairs of human society, in demographics, economics, and environmental issues.
		The aim of mathematics, for those who pursue it as mathematicians, is not primarily to search for truths about the natural world, it is to create beautiful and interesting conceptual structures.
		And thank you too, audience and panelists, for the time you are taking and the energy you are investing to improve instruction in mathematics, and to increase knowledge of the beauty, the relevance, and the power of mathematics among future generations.

	Power series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These power series arise primarily in analysis, but also occur in combinatorics (under the name of generating functions) and in electrical engineering (under the name of the Z-transform).
		Once a function is given as a power series, it is continuous wherever it converges and is differentiable on the interior of this set.
		Every power series with a positive radius of convergence is analytic on the interior of its region of convergence.

		, then 2 is the base, 3 is the exponent, and 8 is the power.
		But almost everyone, including most mathematicians, would say that 3 is the power, and that "power" and "exponent" mean the same thing.
		The misuse has probably come about from a misunderstanding of statements such "eight is the third power of two."

	LeCroy Power Measurement
		Every power supply has a feedback loop that monitors the output voltage or current and keeps the device’s on-time appropriate to the load.
		A typical example is the power loss per cycle in a magnetic core which is proportional to the area enclosed by a plot of magnetic field intensity against flux density.
		The power dissipated in a 3wire, 3-phase load can be determined using a LeCroy 4 channel oscilloscope by measuring two phase currents and two line voltages.
