摘要

点击增加图像sizeClick减少图像大小Notes1不说服你如果这个真实的例子,考虑一个虚构的国家,51%的选民支持甲方和49%的选民支持党B。如果双方在全州分布均匀,每一个选区投票将甲方51%,乙方49%,和每一个可能的地区,可以将有51%和49%党B,因此甲方将赢得所有的地区,无论如何。

Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes1 If this real-life example doesn’t convince you, consider an imaginary state where 51% of the voters favor party A and 49% favor party B. If the voters of both parties are distributed uniformly across the state, every voting precinct will have 51% party A and 49% party B, and every possible district that can be drawn will have 51% party A and 49% party B. Thus party A will win ALL the districts, no matter how they are drawn.

期刊介绍： The Monthly''s readers expect a high standard of exposition; they look for articles that inform, stimulate, challenge, enlighten, and even entertain. Monthly articles are meant to be read, enjoyed, and discussed, rather than just archived. Articles may be expositions of old or new results, historical or biographical essays, speculations or definitive treatments, broad developments, or explorations of a single application. Novelty and generality are far less important than clarity of exposition and broad appeal. Appropriate figures, diagrams, and photographs are encouraged. Notes are short, sharply focused, and possibly informal. They are often gems that provide a new proof of an old theorem, a novel presentation of a familiar theme, or a lively discussion of a single issue. Abstracts for articles or notes should entice the prospective reader into exploring the subject of the paper and should make it clear to the reader why this paper is interesting and important. The abstract should highlight the concepts of the paper rather than summarize the mechanics. The abstract is the first impression of the paper, not a technical summary of the paper. Excessive use of notation is discouraged as it can limit the interest of the broad readership of the MAA, and can limit search-ability of the article.
