Hey there…welcome to this special entry. We are THE MATHSOQUISTS.

As part of the math final project, we were asked to make a short movie about a crime scene. The project is called “The Murder We Wrote” and the name of the movie is…well, we don’t know yet, but….

Starring:

Esmeralda Campos Muñoz as “The journalist”

Gloria Inés Higuera Ley as “The media expert”

José Luis Márquez Sabag as “The math expert”

Khalil Abraham López Mohamed as “The forensic scientist”

Bravo! =)

Some questions to answer:

1. What is forensic science?

It is the application of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. This may be in relation to a crime or to a civil action.

2. What kind of evidence can be collected in a murder case?

It can be biological evidence, trace evidence, impression evidence (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, and tire tracks), controlled substances, firearms, and other evidence in criminal investigations.

3. Why is important to determine the time of death?

To know the phisiological changes the body may have had during that time and for cross-check evidence to get suspects.

After hours and hours of exhausting analization of what could be the main objective of this project, we finally got to the conclusion that it can help us to understand the importance of the use of calculus (integral and differential) in real life situations, so it’s supposed to be a fun and memorable way to learn the application of this out of the classroom, which is more enriching.

PS: We don’t like pain.
