Alpha Delta Pi

“Why do so many young people literally die to belong to fraternities, sororities, and other college social organizations? The answer is complicated, but here is a starting point: Ever since the medieval universities were founded, young people have done whatever it takes to gain acceptance, to break with their past lives, to achieve a sense of power, to carve out a society of their own that isn 't quite what their tutors and teachers had in mind. In the United States, hazing and drinking have…

number known as pi. Many different civilizations throughout history have had their own approximations for pi. In fact one of the first aspects in defining the number known as pi was coming up with a variable that could represent this number. Π was decided to be the variable that stuck and its origins can be traced back to the Greeks (Wilson). Pi is a concept that can be traced back to ancient times to the middle ages and even today many computer software programs continue to evolve pi. William…

This paper will look at the series that converge to pi, and which ones slowly converge to pi and the ones that converge to pi fast. And after looking at these different calculations of pi, I will attempt to find a series that converges to pi even faster. What lead me to do this topic was my passion for math, and curiosity of learning about series and limits to infinity. Pi is something that everybody knows as 3.14, but they have no idea how it came to be approximated as 3.14. It is a complex…

Pi The pertinence of the number pi has been indefatigable throughout the history of mathematics. Pi is a fairly simple concept to grasp, as it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of that circle. Pi is notorious to the masses for its aeonian nature; however, mathematicians classify this attribute as being both irrational and transcendental. Skeptics and misanthropes of Pi’s characteristics have claimed that it is a simple calculated number and there must be a…

What does risk and return mean to the average investor? In order to answer this question, investors must first look to themselves to determine the correct steps to take. One cannot call him or herself an investor without first measuring their risk tolerance as well as risk capacity. Risk tolerance represents how much a client is willing to withstand swings in the value of held assets as well as changes in general market conditions. One of the most common ways of measuring one’s risk tolerance is…

Investors want to protect themselves against the black swan risk and may purchase insurance to help with the risk, but will still lose some. The most accurate way of minimizing the loss is to update information on a regular basis and in a timely manner. There are extant models that account much better for the extreme events in security returns observed over an amount of time than the black swan. These include having order of magnitude seen in the recent financial crisis. The probabilities…

Review of article #1 This article is an un-randomized control trial to explore “the impact of mindfulness training for nursing staff on their levels of mindfulness, compassion satisfaction, burnout, and stress” (Honore, Pierce. Eure & Woodbridge, 2014, p.198). This study also gave a consideration to the impact of mindfulness on patient satisfaction. From the above level of evidence scale, this is a level III of the hierarchy. Validity. In this pilot study, a volunteered nursing unit,…
