Using elementary techniques, a question named after the famous Russian mathematician I. M. Gelfand is answered. This concerns the leading (i.e., most significant) digit in the decimal expansion of integers 2n, 3n, . . . , 9n . The history of this question, some of which is very recent, is reviewed.

Although the geometric equality of figures has already been studied thoroughly, little work has been done about the comparison of unequal figures. We are used to compare only similar figures but would it be meaningful to compare non similar ones? In this paper we attempt to build a context where it is possible to compare even non similar figures. Adopting Klein’s view for the Euclidean Geometry...

Three studies were conducted to determine whether action figures contributed to negative body images in the young adult men who handled them. In Study 1 and Study 2, participants were randomly assigned to different conditions to handle action figures with different muscularity levels. The participants were instructed to place the action figures into various positions for a set time limit. Follo...

Your illustrations are a fingerprint of your entire research paper. It pays to learn the general principles of designing graphs and figures, which will help you present data persuasively in the smallest possible amount of space. This article describes some of the pioneering design principles of Edward Tufte and how you can use them to improve your graphics. How important are good illustrations?...
