All sound is the product of airwaves crashing against our eardrums. Th e mathematical technique for understanding this and other wave phenome na is called the Fourier analysis, which allows the disentangling of a complex wave into basic waves called sinusoids, or sine waves. In thi s unit we discover how the Fourier analysis is used in creating electr onic music and underpins all digital technology.

Dave tours historic locations in Philadelphia recalling battles of the American Revolution and the lives of the Founding Fathers who attended the Constitutional Conventions held there. He spends some time at Franklin House where he reviews the biography of the great statesmen and inventor. Locations, such as the American Philosophical Society, Declaration House, and Carpenter's Hall bring to mind the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution, documents whose common sense approach to freedom and liberty is extolled throughout the episode. Dave also recalls the history of the Liberty Bell, the design of the Great Seal, and the establishment of the American bald eagle as the symbol of the United States and its freedoms.
Our first exposure to geometry is that of Euclid, in which all triangl es have 180 degrees. As it turns out, triangles can have more or less than 180 degrees. This unit explores these curved spaces that are at o nce otherwordly and firmly of this world

Earth and space science is covered. Guests explain concepts of geology, meteorology, astronomy, biology, and earth science. Among the topics are: the formation of life on earth, earthquakes and plate tectonics, the rock cycle, the water cycle, pollution, weather patterns and climate, and renewable and non-renewable energy sources. The Rock Cycle looks at what has happened on earth and what likely will happen. The form that rocks take reflects a point in time and can be transformed from earth's interior to mantle to magma to igneous rock to sediment to sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock. Also: seismologists' ability to predict where, but not when, earthquakes will occur; and a diagram of the water cycle to demonstrate the importance of knowing how to read graphics on the GED exam.
