inflation, leading them to question their earlier assumptions. “It didn’t seem to matter how you started the universe; it always ended up inflating,” Underwood said. “When you’re trying to describe the very early universe, you have to make many assumptions to go anywhere. Isolating which assumptions are important and which are not is part of the game.” One assumption they left out was Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity: While they agreed the theory was true, Underwood said, their assumption was

If you think anthropology is limited to the study of stones and old bones, think again! Though anthropology does look at stones and bones, it also examines the politics, medicine, kinship, art and
of anthropology is in the observation of different peoples and cultures—studying them as they really are instead of how you think they should or should not behave. It is only through this detailed study of all people that we gain the full picture of what it really is to be human. Anthropology tries to bring the world’s peoples into human focus. Anthropologists don’t come up with a theory and see if people live up to it. They live with people and see what they do.Opportunities for Anthropology

What is Finance? At its fundamental level, Finance involves the interrelationships among time, value, risk, and how decisions are made concerning resource allocation.
Finance What is Finance? At its fundamental level, Finance involves the interrelationships among time, value, risk, and how decisions are made concerning resource allocation. Finance focuses on these decisions both at the firm (corporate finance) and individual (investments) levels while combining and extending theory and tools from Accounting, Economics, and Math into the practice of financial decision making. What can I do with Finance? Workers in financial occupations are highly coveted in
