Why Study Mathematics
Theres something else you shouldnt forget. There are lots of times when more math would help you in your everyday affairs.
No long ago a man in Milwaukee was arrested for speeding. The policeman, who had been stationing at a street corner, didnt check the speed on the mans motorcycle, but just guessed at it. 46 .
The man said that he had stopped his car at the traffic light on the corner where the policeman was stationed. 47 . The driver then proved mathematically that no car could have picked up speed fast enough to be exceeding the limit at the spot where he was arrested. The judge let him off. 48 . You may be the kind of person who needs to know something about advanced math to get the most out of life. Some people go on from day to day, having a good time and not caring much about anything else. 49 .
Theyre interested in life, and other people, and what makes things happen the way they do. 50 .
If youre that kind of person, you almost have to learn something about the more advanced branch of math. There will be no other way to understand the things you become curious about.
A The policeman admitted this
B But many people arent content to live that way
C They are curious about things
D But theres one more reason why you should study math now
E The man admitted this
F The man and the policeman went before a judge in the police court

Avalanche and Its Safety
An avalanche is a sudden and rapid flow of snow, oftn mixed with air and water, down a mountainside. Avalanches are 51 the biggest dangers in the mountains for both life and property.
All avalanches are caused by an over-burden of material, typically snowpack, that is too massive and unstable for the slope 52 supports it. Determining the critical load, the amount of over-burden which is 53 to cause an avalanche, 54 a complex task involving the evaluation of a number of factors.
Terrain slopes flatter than 25 degrees or steeper than 60 degrees typically have a low 55 of avalanche. Snow does not 56 significantly on steep slopes; also, snow does not 57 easily on flat slopes. Human-triggered avalanches have the greatest incidence when the snows angle of rest is 58 35 and 45 degrees; the critical angle, the angle at which the human incidence of avalanches is greatest, is 38 degrees. The rule of thumb is: A slope that is 59 enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski has the potential to generate an avalanche, regardless of the angle. Additionally, avalanche risk increases with 60 ; that is, the more a slope is disturbed by skiers, the more likely it is that an avalanche will occur.
Due to the complexity of the subject, winter travelling in the backcountry is never 100% safe. Good avalanche safety is a continuous 61 , including route selection and examination of the snowpack, weather 62 , and human factors. Several well-known good habits can also 63 the risk. If local authorities issue avalanche risk reports, they should be considered and all warnings should be paid 64 to. Never follow in the tracks of others without your own evaluations; snow conditions are almost certain to have changed since they were made. Observe the terrain and note obvious avalanche paths where plants are 65 or damaged. Avoid traveling below others who might trigger an avalanche.
