to help people calculate and keep track of numbers and accounting have been around for thousands of years. For example the abacus was used sense the 13th century to help people calculate, it was used in every civilization from the Native Americans to the Egyptians. The computer was born of these same basic ideas but just further improved the accuracy and speed. From the abacus to tabulating machines to computers the technology has not stopped improving and becoming more efficient. A big time…

lot of classical features that are described in the architecture of the building. If we first look at the middle of the building, we see a triangle right above the columns.

This obviously meant the Greeks were under strict rule to when it came to designing their mammoth structures. There precision in ensuring that buildings…

of it to pursue a new degree. Computer Science didn’t always have the same name, in fact it wasn’t always about programing either, before Computer Science there were other tools used to help in calculations like the abacus used to keep track of adding high numbers. Before the abacus women would be given the task of computing, which involved a lot of repetitive calculations. Repetition could be very boring and boredom leads to a lot of mistakes. In the 14th century John Napier invented…

I chose to describe the architectural elements of the back side of the statehouse. Looking at the portico at the center of the building, the top contains the pediment space. The sima…

Although technically not invented in the Golden Age of Islamic Culture, the Astrolabe developed its full potential of varying uses during such time. Although no models are known to survive, it is believed that the astrolabe was first developed by the Greek in around 150 BCE. The evidence to support this comes in the form of documented use by the famous astronomer Hipparchus who had used this device to help create a 2D representation of a 3D sky. Moreover, it wasn't until the growing scholarly…

Capital asset pricing model According to Ross, Westerfield and Jordan (2008) capital asset pricing model is the equation of the security market line showing the relationship between expected return and beta. It is use to calculate the rate of return for risky asset. CAPM state that expected return of a security or a portfolio equals the rate on a risk free security plus a risk premium. Formula for CAPM E(Ri)=Rf + [{E(Rm) - Rf}] βi Where, E(Ri)= return required on financial asset I, Rf= risk…
