This applet emulates a calculator with limited functioning keys so that the student must figure out other ways to make the same calculation, such as using addition to do multiplication or using
other numerical values that break computations up into component computations.

I shall assume that the aim of an explication of «valid induction» is to find a
numerical or comparative function c (h, e)-- the «confirmation of hypothesis h given evidence e» — which is a syntactic function of the statements h and e, and which has a high or comparatively high
value in those cases where normally accepted or intuitive inductive methods would direct us to accept hypothesis h on evidence e, at least in comparison with
other hypotheses having lower c -
value.
Mathematical Intimidation: Our society tends to
value «hard» data — data based on
numerical measurements — over «soft» data — data based on observation and
other methods — even though both kinds of data have limitations.

other hand is a
numerical value usually at a fixed rate, and is added per day onto the online loan.
Unknown related variables, such as variables that are a component of a particular module, are grouped together, and a pertinent subsystem of equations and inequalities corresponding to each group is solved via a variety of commonly used
numerical analytic techniques, using approximate
values for the
other unknowns.
