Our project mission for the Web Math Projects Organization is to reinforce the fundamentals of mathematics through the use of interactive web technologies and Internet communications. See our Mission Statement.

Mathematics provides the foundation for all other scientific pursuits. It is an important academic subject whose concepts are sometimes difficult to grasp.
WMP cellebrates March Madness. Here is our top math March Madness probability problem. What are the odds of picking all the games right for the whole NCAA Tournament? To get all games in all the brackets right is an interesting math problem.
My answer is 1.0842021724855044340074528008699e-19 to 1. That is approximately 1.08 times 10 to the power of -19. this can also be represented as 0.00000000000000108 which is about 1 in a 10 Quadrillion!
See the wikipedia article on engineering notation.
Currently we are upgrading this site and WMP.org is expanding by working with various other math centric organizations. Contact us for more info. |
