What's the chance?: concepts of probability
Probability offers one of those rare intersections where classroom mathematics crosses middle school experience. The problem scenarios investigated at this level often start with a game—as did theoretical probability itself. Students find that many of the phenomena they encounter in game playing have predictable outcomes. To reach that conclusion, they need opportunities to consider data they generate, noting patterns that emerge and comparing their results with those predicted by theory.

We review observational and theoretical results on seismic radiation and brittle rock damage in two complementary problems. (i) Rapid damage generation by sources with sufficiently high amplitude and subsequent gradual healing. (ii) Effects of brittle rock damage within the source volume on the seismic radiation to the bulk.
