Two Things I like about Math:

1.  I like how there is set rules/laws that you follow to come to a set answer. It is very straight forward.
2. Math is like a puzzle and it can be like a game to figure it out.

1. Using the database demonstrated in class, and the following simple statements search for (paranthesis required) answer the following questions. Let
   • d = death penalty 4337
   • c = capital punishment  6117
   • n = New York State 76575

     Search for:

     1. n /\ ( d \/ c )      112  New York State and (death penalty or capital punishment)
     2. ( n /\ d ) \/ c      6137 (New York State and death penalty) or capital punishment 
     3. n /\ d \/ c           112 New York State and death penalty or capital punishment
     4. ( n /\ d) \/ ( n /\ c) 112 (New York State and death penalty) or (New York State and capital punishment)
     You must record the number of hits and exactly what you entered as your search criteria.
2. In part 1, which searches yield the same results and why? searches a, c and d yielded the same results because it is the same search written different ways. 
3. For each of the searches above, determine which Venn diagram corresponds to to the search:
   1.  Capital Punishment 
   2.  B and C 
   3.  A
   4.  D
   5. A
   6. B and C
