A number with all the digits different 2014-02-07
From Jon:
I'm not a mathematician but just curious. Is there a name for a number of up to ten digits where each digit is different, i.e the equivalent of an isogram in linguistics? My online banking gives me a random 8-digit number each time I log on and it is rare to get one of the type I refer to. There must be calculable odds, but I'm only allowed one question!
Thanks in advance
Jon

Conics 2014-02-01
From Kassidy:
Hey, I have searched through all the questions about conics and how people use them in the real world, but none of them were very specific on how they are applied and the process, why it's so important etc. I have a project due asking these questions and it's been very difficult finding the right answer, if you could name jobs, how they are use and specifically applied that would be greatly appreciated.
