This shows that there is a loss in mass in the morning.  The question is then, “How does the body loose this mass?”.  The answer is a combination of water loss and the...

The idea of proof is vital to the activity of the mathematician. In establishing the truth of propositions, proofs provide understanding and insight, which add greatly to the intrinsic fascination of mathematics as a subject. Proofs require chains of reasoning: understanding logical arguments and being able to...
