Fox River Killer Scenarios
Scenario 1 Disclaimer: the victim written about is my friend who wanted to be the subject of a scenario. I’m not that awful of a person to write of her murder without her knowledge. “Her math proofs are just too good! She’s never wrong!” Millard Newton, the long-lost descendant of Sir Isaac Newton, exclaimed as he planned her demise. “It is possible that one day my nemesis Celine will surpass the influence and superiority of great grandpa Isaac!” His plan? Send her an invitation to a fake prestigious math conference in the most treacherous place outside of the continental United States – Alaska. His intent? Murder. The moment Celine arrived at the conference, Millard swept her away with exciting news of a discovery of primitive math found …show more content…
My estimated time of death for the first body is approximately 4-5 days before discovery. Not only is the body in the advanced stage of decomposition, but the fly pupae in the 3rd instar wandering stage indicate that the victim died about a week prior (A). This killer has access to decent power tools, concluded by the cleanliness of the cut of the foot. The polished look and lack of visible striations are characteristics of a circular power saw (C). Although it may seem like the killer also dismembered the left arm (who knows, maybe their trying out a new calling card), however, since the scapula is still attached, the arm was most likely removed by carnivores (B). The second body seems to be a little “fresher” than the first. Since the corpse is still has a bloated, green abdomen, and has maggot activity in the eye sockets, I am lead to believe that it is in the early stage of decomposition, with the PMI to be about 2-4 days (D, E). Like the first body, this victim also shows evidence of carnivore activity, seen in the exposure of the facial skeleton and furrows on the maxillae (E). This victim was also of African descent per both rectangular orbits and alveolar prognathism

    The partially decomposed body unearthed is most likely a young female. The person found was young because even though their phalanges have completely ossified their femur and humerus still showed signs of growing by having epiphyseal cartilage. This person also is young because her humerus contains all red marrow and no yellow marrow. The person is a female because the pelvic angle is greater than 90 degrees. This female also may have been pregnant because of the loose and flexible sacroiliac joint and pubic…

    Maria Ascher's *Mathematics Elsewhere,* identifies mathematical ideas that are present all over the world, and is "intended as another step toward a global and humanistic history of mathematics." (Ascher IV) This important volume clarifies how many universal mathematical concepts, both simple and complex, are used and understood by countless cultures worldwide, regardless of differences in geography, language, and era. By studying and widening the scope of the history and breadth of mathematical thought, Ascher argues that "we are supplying complexity and texture... [and] in short, enlarging our understanding of the variety of human expressions and human usages associated with the same basic ideas." (2)…

    Sophie Germain, born to wealthy parents and coming of age during the French Revolution turned to the study of mathematics as a way to cure her boredom. She quickly became a sneaky mathematician hiding her studies first from her parent’s and later from the mentors she most admired and respected. She had to pose as a male to be taken seriously in her studies. As Sophie grew older and fell in love with mathematics, she fought to be recognized as the mathematician she rightly was. Even after her death Sophie was honored, having both a school and street named for her.…

    Sending letters directly between the Dominican Republic and Haiti has only recently become possible. For most of the last sixty years, their postal services routed the mail ninety miles north to Miami as if the two countries had decided that they no longer shared the island of Hispaniola. This is absurd at best; a flight between their capital cities, Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince, takes only half an hour. Deep in the Cordillera Central mountain range, the border is virtually irrelevant to peasants who cross it easily on market days and switch…

    • 4 Pages

    Currently holding the world record for longest standing math problem ever, Fermat’s last theorem went unsolved for 365 years. Fermat's last theorem was one of the largest white whales in the study of math. Over the centuries, thousands were puzzled by the impossible problem. From its conception to its solution, Fermat's last theorem was one of the most difficult to solve yet easy to understand problems in mathematics. First, I will discuss the theorem and how it was introduced to the mathematics community. Second, I will discuss some of the influences Fermat's last theorem has had over its lengthy history. Third, I will discuss how solution finally came about.…

    Much alarmed, we did so, he was insistent. Underneath the floorboards were the arms, legs, head, and torso of a human body. I could not look long, the corpse was so mutilated. The cuts were not quite clean, a little ragged at the edges, and the bones seemed to have been cut part way through and snapped the rest. The head of the corpse seemed to be missing an eye. the blood had pooled underneath the remains. The remains themselves did not seem to be rotted in any way, leading us to believe the mutilation had taken place recently. Due to the state of blood, i estimate the act was done less than two hours before our arrival.…

    The life and brutal death of Hypatia of Alexandria has been a topic of debatable discussion since the 4th century C.E. She lived Alexandria, Egypt (the center of ancient knowledge) and while it is assumed that she learned the study of mathematics from her father, “Theon of Alexandria” it is known that she was the head geometry teacher of the Neo-Platonist school (Belenky, 2010). Hypatia is regarded as one of the first women that contributed in many ways to the field of mathematical findings that have forever changed the way we think and see the world today. One major way she contributed to the development of mathematics is by building on to the work of an earlier mathematician, an Egyptian named Diophantus. Diophantus worked with quadratic equations and equations having multiple solutions; these equations are known as indeterminate equations. For example, the problem of changing a one-hundred-dollar bill into twenties, tens, fives and ones leads to an indeterminate equation because there are multiple solutions available.…

    Isaac Newton is known to be the single-most influential scientist of the 17th century, and a key figure in the scientific revolution. He was born prematurely in 1642, in Woolsthorpe, England, and died in 1727, in London. Newton was not expected to survive, for he was so small, he could fit in a quart pot. Despite this, he did not only survive, but he went on to make great discoveries that would forever change people’s understanding of the world. From a young age, he had shown great interest in a formal education.…

    Our first knowledge of mankind’s use of mathematics comes from the Egyptians and Babylonians. Both civilizations developed mathematics that was similar in scope but different in particulars. There can be no denying the fact that the totality of their mathematics was profoundly elementary2 , but their astronomy of later times did achieve a level comparable to the Greeks.…
