Mathematics education

Flatland on Mathematics and Literature Commonly the notion of mathematics and literature are relegated to two different spheres of influence, left to be independent of one another. The two disciplines enchant and bewilder the masses as they help to persuade the human race of getting infinitesimally closer to the truths of the universe. In this regard, mathematics and literature can combine in an attempt to push the boundaries of prior understanding in order to present a new facet of a…

Summarize the Work you did this week. I continued to address the materials from Unix for the Beginning Mage tutorial by Joe Topjion. The storytelling method of teaching the material has been the best benefit for my understanding of my Macbook's Terminal. Furthermore, I created a github account and downloaded subsequent programs to code, such as Atom, Github Desktop, and xcode. Lastly, I have overviewed and continuing to practice using Markdown to create this webpage. What steps did you make to…

Sir Isaac Newton was a famous English physicist and mathematician. He is most famous for his theory of gravity where the myth is an apple hit him on the head making him wonder about gravity. He also made many new laws of motion that we still use today. And finally, he made the book Principia It was said to be the “the single most influential book on physics and possibly all of science.” So Sir Isaac Newton was very important to the scientific revolution of the 17th century, and these are the…

Stat 3021 Practical Assignment Part 3 by Braden McDowell Introduction For the Stat 3021 project, I was interested in determining how NBA draft position impacted a player’s performance. More specifically, I aimed to determine “Do players drafted 1st overall tend to have a higher average win share per 48 minutes (WS/48 — see https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/ws.html for information on the calculation of this stat) than players drafted 2nd overall in their rookie seasons?” I hold a…

Purpose: To use Parallax and triangulation to measure the indirect distance between two points. Hypothesis: If a long distance is measured using triangulation then it will produce an accurate measurement. Materials: 1. Protractor 2. Ruler 3. Tape measure 4. Table or desk 5. Paper 6. Pencil 7. Masking tape Procedure: 1. Gather all of your materials 2. Clear off your table or desk 3. Place an object at one end of the desk (image A). Using masking tape, label this point C. 4. From the end…

First of all, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a science enthusiast. I love doing all the cool experiments and learning about the planets and Earth. I have been homeschooling this year and it is not very fun. I usually can’t do any of the science experiments because we don’t have all the right materials, which is very disappointing since my science lesson is my favorite part of the day. I’ve loved reading since I was a little girl and I would always choose books that would teach…

From an early age, I was good at solving puzzles and finding patterns. My interest in this program makes sense, since figuring out how things work are a huge part of the curriculum. I also like knowing how things are made and I like knowing how things work. I have always liked technology, and have always wanted to be a part of making and developing it. Since I like doing these things, the Science and Engineering Learning Center is where I would like to spend the next four years of my life. For…

I hope you had a good evening. We have finished reviewing the data and can now respond to the last two questions. We can to this conclusion by approaching the data in several ways to try to pinpoint exactly what is causing the increase 15Q4 onward. Frist, we identified 130 physicians who participated from 15Q2 to 16Q3 and looked at their patient sample. In 15Q2, 87% of the patients reported on by these 130 physicians were treated. There was a gradual increase in the group and by 16Q3, 90% of…

The database used to develop regression model is based on information collected by Fannie Mae in 2012 through industry wide Energy and Water Market Research Survey. Fannie Mae surveyed more than 1100 multifamily properties across the country to collect comprehensive data about energy and water from the property managers and owners. This dataset was then reviewed to remove any properties with missing or incorrect information associated with consumption and cost of energy and water. After…

“A bachelor's degree is typically required to start out in aerospace engineering. Students who want to become an aerospace engineer should study physics, chemistry, and higher mathematics, such as trigonometry, algebra, and calculus" ("Career Profiles", Page 1). Although, engineering is primarily based off of mathematics and science, there are plenty of subtopics to learn. Considering my love scientific and mathematical concepts and ideas this career is perfect for me. Depending on what you want…
