Cornhole Project
So for this project we had partnered up with another within the class and designed a beanbag toss game called a cornhole. We could design it anyway that we wanted, but if one or both of the partners were in math honors we would have to incorporate the mathematician that the had researched from and earlier assignment. My partner McKenna had the mathematician Charles Babbage so what he had did was paint the man himself onto the board with a laptop, as he invented the basis of computers, and around the rest of the board, just to fill it, write many different math equations from both regular math & physics.

'e' and Logarrithims
It is a quantity representing the power to which a fixed number (the base) must be raised to produce a given number. The letter 'e' frequently occurs in mathematics (especially calculus) and is an irrational constant (like π). Its value is e = 2.718 281 828 ... Apart from logarithms to base 10 which we saw in the last section, we can also have logarithms to base e. These are called natural logarithms. As for the system itself, it was discovered and named after Leonhard Euler.

Experimental Probability |
It is the likeliness of an event happening based on all the possible outcomes. The ratio for the probability of an event 'P' occurring is P (event) = number of favorable outcomes divided by number of possible outcomes.

This probability is determined by the results of an experiment.It is what actually happens instead of what you think is going to happen.
