Linear regression

4 The Simplex Method As we have seen, a linear programming problem forms a convex polygon in the best possible scenario. It is imperative to obtain a process that would assist in determining the optimal solution without the need to examine the graphical representation. The need for an algorithm that would perform such process was essential in the early days of the formulations of linear programming problems. Although challenging, the task was accomplished by a mathematician of the twentieth…

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus evaluate an antiderivative at the upper and lower limits of integration and take the difference. This theorem is separated into two parts. The first part is called the first fundamental theorem of calculus and states that one of the antiderivatives of some function may be obtained as the integral of the function with a variable bound of integration. The second part of the theorem, called the second fundamental theorem of…

Supply chains that are complex are commonly modeled as linear programs (LPs). They can effectively trade off broad range of criteria. To model FMCG supply chains accurately, one must include discrete aspects of decision making, which requires solving a mixed-integer program (MIP). It has become significantly important for managers, given the widespread use of linear models today, to be able to develop good, efficient models to aid them in the decision-making process. Three important factors;…

Since all the mechanisms needed to adhere to pre-set design specifications¬¬, space, functionality, and cost had to be optimized. A scissor lift was chosen for its perceived advantage over other lifting mechanisms, such as linear actuators or pulleys, because of its unique ability to create a large vertical change in height with a relatively small lateral displacement of arm brackets. A pulley was not implemented because of the impractically and safety hazard behind using…

Have you ever looked at your math paper and questioned why do I have to make a trend line? Is making a trend line really necessary? Well, trend lines allow the user to see a more defined trend of the data. Also, the creation of a trend line allows a correlation between the two subjects to be viewed easier. Trend lines help people accurately determine future outcomes that can come in handy if there is a problem. This is possible because trend lines make it easier to find the slope intercept…

(P1) The immense history of Greece could not be possible for the remarkable and influential city-states located throughout the regions. Mycenae, Knossos, and Troy are three revered and questioned palatial sites that operated in similar and opposing ways, partially due to the form and function of the architecture. In the late 1800s into the early 1900s, three archaeologists excavated the individual sites of the Aegean basin. Sir Arthur Evans became known as the British archaeologist who uncovered…

Chadwick, J. 1958. The Decipherment of Linear B, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. In this article, Chadwick’s discussion is two-fold: I. Interpretation of the Linear B tablet founded in Crete. II. When the Minoan script of Linear A became extinct. As suggested in this article, Evans hypothesises the script of Linear B was a modified form of the Minoan script Linear A. Thus, this article deduces that the decipherment of Linear B is the most important piece of archaeological evidence for…

Without technology Project Based Learning will not be as effective as it is today. PBL relies on collaboration, real-world connection, critical thinking and authentic assessments – components that are best served with technology. The key is to rearrange the way instructions have been presented where students’ experiences are used to teach abstract Math concepts. A PBL design starts with real world contexts, to conceptual understanding, then back to application and then creation. Project is…

Throughout the Bronze Age, the cultures of the Aegean civilizations showed influences in trade, religion and economic administration. The iconography of these civilizations not only revealed their culture but also how they functioned throughout Greece. Weapons and animal representations like bulls and griffins, are all characteristic of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. But the settings in which they are presented offer deeper implications into their values and identity. Excavated frescos,…

Technology: The World We Live In What would people do without technology? Technology is the focal point of everybody’s lives. It is used everyday for work, to strengthen connections, or pay for something online. Technology has never been relied upon so much. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and writer Jared Cohen, in their article “Our Future Selves,” argue that technology will offer the world a greater future with the possible connections and productivity it can generate. Professor Lori Andrews…
