Discussion Questions: Below I have listed introductions to possible slippery slope arguments. Create slippery slope scenarios for the following; add at least three more conclusions (refer to the example of being late in the module 8 lecture): 1. If you get behind on one credit card payment… 2. If you fail the first test… 3. If you eat that 1st Oreo cookie… 4. If you decide to have sex with your boyfriend… 5. If you smoke marijuana… 6. I know you two have been together for four years, but if you don’t break up with him… 7. If you don’t eat a balanced diet… 8. If you take birth control pills primarily to clear up your complexion… 9. Relate to us an instance when you used the ‘slippery slope’ argument to convince yourself of a conclusion. As a second part to this exercise I want you to list five examples you’ve found in speeches or newspaper articles (especially opinion pieces) where the author ‘damns the source’ rather than present a cogent argument. Cite the source for each of these.

Read the assigned text carefully, then prepare a 2 page essay reflecting on, and responding to the text. No sources are needed for this, but you are advised to use what we discussed in class to ground your opinion and reach an educated reflection on the text. After presenting what you think to be the article’s main argument, find an idea or two that draw you to the article, present your idea(s) as best you can, then interact (critique, explain, refute, etc) with the idea(s) presented. As will all academic writing, this must be cohesive with a clear thesis statement in your introductory paragraph, a development of paragraphs that link to the thesis statement, and a conclusion. 10% Introduction: General to specific.

Format: Your 5 page paper must be written in Microsoft word using the equations editor. No plain text equations. The sixth page should have your 5 references in MLA style. Your paper must be single-spaced with 1 inch margins on each side.       Procedures and Guidelines:     Step 1: Bernhard Riemann a mathematician who born between 1600 and 1900 that you want to study in more detail. Gather 5 references you will use. Your reference must be published like a book or journal or magazine article, not just a webpage and not wikipedia.   Step 2: Your paper must be five pages long. Two pages on the history and life of Bernhard Riemann. Three pages on the mathematics he did.     In your paper you should not just talk about mathematics, but should actually do mathematics. For example, you may wish to select a mathematician and a particular mathematical technique that he or she initiated. So along with some biographical details, you must give examples of problems and at least one proof. Select material to convey that mathematics is about problem solving. Describe who used that mathematician’s work and how it was used. How would mathematics be different if that mathematician had not succeeded? Perhaps you may want to pick a mathematician who didn’t succeed in solving a particular problem. What impact did that have on mathematics? What was the error? Who else (if any) finally solved the problem? In other words, focus on the mathematics that the mathematician did and how it fits into the big picture. Your paper must have history, problems, theorems, and proofs.                                                                                                 Please write about the mathematician Bernhard Riemann.
