Systems of synchronization occur throughout the animate and inanimate world. The regular beating of the human heart, the swaying and near collapse of the Millennium Bridge, the simultaneous flashing of gangs of fireflies in Southeast Asia: these varied phenomena all share the property of spontaneous synchronization. This unit shows how synchronization can be analyzed, studied, and modeled via the mathematics of differential equations, an outgrowth of calculus, and the application of these ideas toward understanding the workings of the heart.

This program addresses the importance of numbers and having a sense for them in order to make good decisions in life as well as on the GED test. A host and several guests underscore the importance of using numbers in their daily lives. Video also depicts exchanges between car buyer and dealer over price, and traveler trying to understand directions in foreign country. Numbers are important because they are uniformly standard everywhere. They are also linear and infinite, which allows for easy comparison to see if one number is more than, less than, or the same as another. Learning math, like any new process, involves understanding specific terminology. Understanding symbols is more important than arithmetical ability. Getting a feel for numbers is necessary in order to restate a mathematical value or problem. Estimating is an important ability that can aid people in purchasing and other decisions.
