  • Achilles And The Tortoise

    2191 Words  | 5 Pages

    2014 Date: March 31st, 2014 Word Count: 2681 Achilles and the Tortoise is one of the many mathematical and philosophical paradoxes that were expressed by Zeno of Elea. His purpose was to present the idea that motion is nothing but an illusion. Many solutions have been offered as an explanation to these paradoxes for many years now. Some of these solutions include the factor of time, arguing that a mathematical result can be obtained when a certain amount of time is set for the race. However, many others

  • Hindu Trigonometry

    539 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most of what we know concerning the development of trigonometry in India comes from influential works from the 4th – 5th century, known as the Siddhantas. There were five of these works with the most complete survivor being the Surya Siddhanta. These texts first defined the sine as the modern relationship between half an angle and half a chord. They also defined cosine, versine, and inverse sine. An Indian mathematician name Aryabhata (476 – 550 AD) later expanded on the developments of the Siddhantas

  • Tabula Raas The Guerra De Las Malvinas

    In Tabula rasa, Perel returns to the ex-ESMA, but this time to record, between July 2012 and January 2013, the demolition of one of its buildings, the so-called “módulos de acomodación” (accommodation modules) where soldiers slept. The building was demolished to create a museum and memorial about the Guerra de las Malvinas (The Malvinas War, 1982). Using fixed shots and diegetic sounds characteristic of Perel’s cinema, the film opens with a working table and a computer that shows an image of the

  • Analysis Of 'The Number Devil A Mathematical Adventure'

    1690 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Number Devil - A Mathematical Adventure, by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, initiates with an adolescent child named Robert who experiences and suffers from recurring nightmares. Whether he’s getting gulped up by a huge fish, falling down an endless slide into a black hole, or falling into a raging river, his extremely detailed nightmares continually appear to have an undesirable effect on him. Robert’s nightmares either alarm him, make him irritated, or thwart him. His single request is to never dream

  • Essay On Sensitivity Analysis

    640 Words  | 2 Pages

    1.9.1 Sensitivity analysis of the model Sensitivity analysis is the study of how the uncertainty in the output of a mathematical model or system (numerical or otherwise) can be apportioned to different sources of uncertainty in its inputs. A related practice is uncertainty analysis, which has a greater focus on uncertainty quantification and its propagation. Ideally, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis should be run in tandem. As the optimization method provides the best set of inputs for optimum

    expensive to build and study than the full-size airplane. Similarly, the mathematical model in equation (1.1) allows a quick identification of profit expectations without actually requiring the manager to produce and sell x units. Models also have the advantage of reducing the risk associated with experimenting with the real situation. In particular, bad designs or bad decisions that cause the model airplane to crash or a mathematical model to project a $10,000 loss can be avoided in the real situation

  • I Wish to Pursue an MS Degree in Electrical Engineering

    1421 Words  | 3 Pages

    I Wish to Pursue an MS Degree in Electrical Engineering During my senior year at Purdue University, I made a decision that has impacted the entire course of my education. While my classmates were making definite decisions about their career paths, I chose to implement a five-year plan of development and growth for myself. I designed this plan in order to examine various careers that I thought might interest me, as well as to expand upon my abilities at the time. As I was attaining a BS degree

  • HDL Coder Implementation for Luo Rudy Phase 1 Excitation Modeling

    1052 Words  | 3 Pages

    This paper presents the study of non-linear dynamic of cardiac excitation based on Luo Rudy Phase I (LR-I) model towards numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) responsible for cardiac excitation on FPGA. As computational modeling needs vast of simulation time, a real-time hardware implementation using FPGA could be the solution as it provides high configurability and performance. For rapid prototyping, the MATLAB Simulink offers a link with the FPGA which is an HDL Coder that

  • Why Do I Have To Teach Mathematics

    1193 Words  | 3 Pages

    This finding is very relevant to early childhood field as very often we fear the same things, we feel that we are lacking confidence in our teaching abilities, in our teaching methods as well as we feel that we do not have mathematical content knowledge. I think that if an educator is lacking confidence in his/her teaching abilities because of a lack of experience in the classroom then this is natural and the confidence will come with years of being in the classroom; however

In order for the officer to find out how fast the car was going at the scene he needs to solve an inverse problem. “Inverse problems are mathematical detective problems. An example of an inverse problem is trying to find the shape of an object only knowing its shadows ”(Budd1). In addition, a day on the job of being a cop. There is a car accident and the officer job is to figure out if the car

  • Comparing The Rule Of Thirds And The Golden Ratio

    825 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the field of art, artists always use techniques and methods to make their work better. The ‘Rule of Thirds’ and The ‘Golden Ratio’ are amongst the most important techniques in artwork. The ‘Golden Ratio’ is an ancient mathematical method. Its founder is the ancient Greek Pythagoras. (Richard Fitzpatrick (translator) ,2007. Euclid's Elements of Geometry.) The ‘Golden Ratio’ was first mentioned 2300 years ago, in Euclid's "Elements" .It was defined as: a line segment is divided into two

  • Place Value Misconceptions

    948 Words  | 2 Pages

    Countless time teachers encounter students that struggle with mathematical concepts trough elementary grades. Often, the struggle stems from the inability to comprehend the mathematical concept of place value. “Understanding our place value system is an essential foundation for all computations with whole numbers” (Burns, 2010, p. 20). Students that recognize the composition of the numbers have more flexibility in mathematical computation. “Not only does the base-ten system allow us to express arbitrarily

  • How to work concessions

    559 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first job was working at the Carmike Cinemas at the Summit. My main duty, among others at the theater, was working the concession stands. It was an entertaining job. It took me awhile to learn the ropes, but once I did, it was smooth sailing. There were several times the concessionaires stands were run by only one person. While it is fun working in a concession stand, I couldn’t forget about my responsibilities. A rush of thousands of people is a daunting task, but it will go smoothly if my station

  • Harmonic Series Investigation: An Investigation Of The Harmonic Series

    1538 Words  | 4 Pages

    Harmonic Series Investigation This investigation will examine some aspects of Harmonic Series’. The name harmonic series come from overtones or harmonics in music. This is because the wavelengths in the overtones on a vibrating string are ½, ⅓. ¼ etc. just like the terms in the harmonic series. However, this investigation will mainly focus on testing for convergence or divergence on the harmonic series, as well as other variations of the series rather than the physics behind the numbers. The numbers
