Begin examining rational numbers. Explore a model for computations with fractions. Analyze proportional reasoning and the difference between absolute and relative thinking. Explore ways to represent proportional relationships and the resulting operations with ratios. Examine how ratios can represent either part-part or part-whole comparisons, depending on how you define the unit, and explore how this affects their behavior in computations.
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.

Investigate the circumference and area of a circle. Examine what underlies the formulas for these measures, and learn how the features of the irrational number pi (π) affect both of these measures.
Explore several methods for finding the volume of objects, using both standard cubic units and non-standard measures. Explore how volume formulas for solid objects such as spheres, cylinders, and cones are derived and related.
Continue to examine the idea of mathematical proof. Look at several geometric or algebraic proofs of one of the most famous theorems in mathematics: the Pythagorean theorem. Explore different applications of the Pythagorean theorem, such as the distance formula.
Throughout the ages, the notion of infinity has been a source of mystery and paradox, a philosophical question to ponder. As a mathematical concept, infinity is at the heart of calculus, the notion of irrational numbers

How did people begin to understand themselves in relation to the natural world and to the unseen realms beyond, and how was religion a community experience? In this unit, animism and shamanism in Shinto are contrasted with philosophical and ethical systems in early Greece and China, and the beginnings of Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, and Judaism.
The great churches embodied the material and spiritual ambitions of the age.nn
This program underscores how chemistry affects all aspects of life. Several expert guests discuss chemistry terms and concepts in various applications. A glass blower discusses the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - and how heat can transform one to another. Matter is grouped into elements, mixtures, and compounds. Elements are composed of protons and neutrons in nucleus, as well as electrons. Compounds are two or more elements in specific proportions that have been chemically combined. Mixtures combine elements or compounds in any amounts. A cook demonstrates how heating sugar until it becomes caramel changes one compound into another. The program shows a scientist studying the chemical structure of plants in order to improve the strength of lumber. Two Test Connection segments feature the host reviewing previous concepts, including the difference between mixtures and compounds, and the arrangement of the periodic table of elements based on atomic number.
