He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Psalm 23:2-3

We are going to talk a little bit more about web searches. After I discuss ways to make a good search criteria, you will write a short research paper (2-3 paragraphs). Be sure that as you work on this paper you are finding credible sources, and listing your sources!

Your research paper should discuss the life of a major mathematician. Include each of the following:

• When he lived and died
  
• Where he lived
  
• Reason he is important
• What contribution did he make to mathematics?
• How are these contributions used now?
• What discoveries were built upon his contributions?
• Bibliography! Give the URLs where you found your information

Make sure that you use the CARS credibility model from the link yesterday. You should have at least three sources.
