The Common Core State Standards were released in 2010 for English language arts and mathematics. The Standards were enacted to create a set of college-and-career-ready curriculums to follow for kindergarten through grade twelve. Presently, 42 states and the District of Columbia have agreed to implement the standards in their schools with the hope of creating college and career ready students by the time they are supposed to graduate high school. The creation of these standards has created a…

Critical thinking skills are one of the most vital skills that nurtures children and helps them reach that global professional standard, which is a requirement in today’s world. Children need to be able to do much more than just understand mnemonics, learn through drills and practices. They need to be critical thinkers who know how to make judgement, to draw meaning out of texts, learn to analyze, give their own opinion and be able to relate the new piece of information to their own experiences.…

been rapidly moving away from the medieval era. The Renaissance movement had begun on a scholarly level, with humanists writers, but was clearly linked with the scientific developments, change, and growth of capitalistic rather than feudal economic structures. Scholars and many philosophers, started to develop a new way to look at life. New concepts of math, science, and art, were the bridge between the middle and modern ages. The growth of national identities…

Hypocrisy and alchemy: two seemingly distinctive concepts, yet so similar in retrospect. Both distinguish expectations from reality in life and suggest two levels of living, which are major topics in The Lady’s Not for Burning. Through hypocrisy and alchemy, the two levels of life include one of literal analysis and complex, imaginative analysis. Jennet’s father was a man who was born into a world of math and science. Rather early into his life, his quest to finding gold out of simple metals…

Enlightenment thinkers inspired people to think for themselves using reason. This idea was known as rationalism. Since the Church was seemingly more and more corrupt, Enlightenment ideals of personal freedom were welcome. In England, two major political structures were proposed. Thomas Hobbes argued in “Leviathan” that a strong leader was necessary, but 50 years later, John Locke argued that the people needed better representation. The english people sided with Locke, leading to the…

Component A Expected learner outcome: This lesson plan is designed for year 7 students and introduces the concept of variables / pronumerals, like and unlike terms in algebra ("Mathematics Years 7-10 Syllabus," 2003, p. 82-83). By the end of this lesson students should be able to distinguish between like and unlike terms and know how to perform an addition or subtraction involving these terms. Describe the lesson: In this lesson, the teacher introduces the concept of variables and develops the…

\chapter{Multiview Geometry} This chapter deals with the camera models, projection of scene into image plane and two view geometry. \section{Pin Hole Camera Model} A camera is a mapping between the 3D world (object space) and a 2D image. The principal camera of interest in this thesis is central projection. This describes about Pin Hole camera model which are matrices with particular properties that represent the camera mapping.\\ \begin{figure}[h] \includegraphics[scale =…

J Intell Robot Syst (2013) 69:131–146 137 for optimum performance in an iterative fashion. Lastly, from the two concepts, one of them is se- lected in terms of performance, manufacturability and cost. The initial analysis of the wing geometry de- sign process is performed by using the program XFLR5 . XFLR5 utilizes Vortex-Lattice-Method which gives preliminary results from which the configurations can be compared. After the optimization of these two different wing…

At the beginning of the period, the price of Computers, Inc. divided by the industry index was 0.39; by the end of the period, the ratio had increased to 0.50. As the ratio increased over the period, it appears that Computers, Inc. outperformed other firms in its industry. The overall trend, therefore, indicates relative strength, although some fluctuation existed during the period, with the ratio falling to a low point of 0.33 on day 19. 18. Five day moving averages: Days 1 – 5: (19.63 + 20 +…
