Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.
His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1970:
A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money.
The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar.
Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M".
The set "C", the cost of production, contains 20 fewer points than set "M."

Teaching Math in 1996:
By laying off 40% of its loggers, a company improves its stock price from
$80 to $100. How much capital gain per share does the CEO make by exercising
his stock options at $80? Assume capital gains are no longer taxed, because
this encourages investment.

Teaching Math in 1997:
A company out-sources all of its loggers. The firm saves on benefits, and
when demand for its product is down, the logging work force can easily be
cut back. The average logger employed by the company earned $50,000, had
three weeks vacation, a nice retirement plan and medical insurance. The
contracted logger charges $50 an hour.
Was out-sourcing a good move?

Teaching Math in 1998: A laid-off logger with four kids at home and a
ridiculous alimony from his first failed marriage comes into the logging
company's corporate offices and goes postal, mowing down 16 executives and a
couple of secretaries, and gets lucky when he nails a politician on the
premises collecting his kickback.
Was outsourcing the loggers a good move for the company?

Teaching Math in 1999: A laid-off logger serving time in Folsom for blowing
away several people is being trained as a COBOL programmer in order to work
on Y2K projects.
What is the probability that the automatic cell doors will open on their own
as of 00:01, 01/01/00?
