Week 4

FINAL PROJECT


Our team's name is The Math Detectives
We are:*Marion A. Elias Calles: media expert
*Alma Astorga Haro: Forensic Scientist*
Hector E. Ayala: math expert*
Ana Lilia Ruiz: journalist


QUESTIONS:
1. What is forensic science?
It is the aplication of science to answer questions to the legal system, this is in relation to a crime or a civil action.


2. What kind of evidence can be collected in a murder case?
fingerprints, hair, footwear impressions, tire tracks, nails, etc...

3. Why is important to determine the time of death?
Because that's the way you find the guilty person, you can infer, for example if the suspect was at 8:30 with the dead person, and the dead person was killed at 8:30 you know that the suspect was the one that killed him.


MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE FINAL PROJECT
In my personal opinion, I think this project will help us know why we have been studying math since we were babies. We will learn how math is really applied in life cases. It's not always about getting a sum correct, but to apply the answer to find out a real fact.

Yeap...

It´s time to think that eveything we learn in school is applicable... may be not in a crime (hopefully) but in everyday life...
