Suppose you'd like to quantify how dissimilar two universities are, using three quantitative characteristics. The US Department of Education data on UW and Cal describes the following three traits (among many others): Trait UW Cal Average annual cost to attend ($) 13,566 Graduation rate (percentage) 83 Socioeconomic Diversity (percentage) 25 13,707 91 31 You decide to define the dissimilarity between two universities as the maximum of the absolute values of the 3 differences in their respective trait values. Using this method, compute the dissimilarity between UW and CAL. Name the result dissimilarity . Use a single expression (a single line of code) to compute the answer.

these  signals travel  down a part of the neuron called the axon, which is like a wire that carries the  signal  to othernerve  cells. on average a  nerve  cell sends a  signal  at about 50 meters per second, which is over 100  miles  an hour!

there is no universally accepted definition of art. although commonly used to describe something of beauty, or a skill which produces an aesthetic result, there is no clear line in principle between (say) a unique piece of handmade sculpture, and a mass-produced but visually attractive item. we might say that art requires thought - some kind of creative impulse - but this raises more questions: for example, how much thought is required? if someone flings paint at a canvas, hoping by this action to create a work of art, does the result automatically constitute art?
