The ability to compare DNA sequences from different organisms is refining our perspective on evolution. This session illustrates how molecular techniques are now combined with fossil evidence to explore relationships in organisms from whales to anthrax.
This program presents the authors of the American Gilded Age, such as Edith Wharton, and juxtaposes them with social realists like Anzia Yezierska. These writers expose the double world that made up turnofthecentury New York: that of the elite and that of the poorest of the poor. Which of these realities is the more truly American?

This episode of GED Connection focuses on Algebra. Algebra is a symbolic language used to describe relationships among numbers. On the GED test you'll be expected to know how to use algebra to simplify equations, and how to solve for variables. You'll also need to know how to work with signed (positive and negative) numbers. Some of the important terms discussed in this program are: equation, balance, unknowns, variables, and inverse operations. Other important concepts such as isolating the variable, simplifying the equation, commutative properties, distributive properties, and positive and negative numbers are also discussed.
All sound is the product of airwaves crashing against our eardrums. The mathematical technique for understanding this and other wave phenomena is called the Fourier analysis, which allows the disentangling of a complex wave into basic waves called sinusoids, or sine waves. In this unit we discover how the Fourier analysis is used in creating electronic music and underpins all digital technology.
