in the form of matrices. A matrix is an array of numbers arranged in rows and columns. There are a number of basic operations which can be applied to matrices in order to form different forms of matrices, these include matrix addition, matrix multiplication and even matrix subtraction. The different form of matrices that these functions can produce include dominance matrices, transition matrices, connectivity matrices and Leslie matrices. The aim of this investigation is to use different matrix…
The abacus Abdiel Gutierrez Abstract—This paper will show the importance of the abacist during the Renaissance time in Europe, and the importance of their mathematical advances they did to algebra. Normally they were merchants or people that taught the merchants in the operation of the abacus. They appear in Europe in the beginning of the 1400 century and lasted until the year 1600. Their work was very important for the developing of mathematics because they were the first ones to understand…
28). A system was developed to account for quantities of objects and as a result, numeracy became literate (Robson 2008, 28). By the early second millennium, the field of mathematics in the near east had expanded to applications of metrology, multiplication,…
If the values are the same, then it is true. If they are different, then it is false. • Usernames are an example of string data type. Integer A data type which consists of a whole number. Examples would be numbers 1-10. • Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division are examples when integer data types are used. When the integer is added, subtracted, multiplied or…
we can acquire the expressions of over 20,000 different genes per experiment.3 A labeled target sample, either RNA, cRNA, or cDNA, is analyzed with probes and a relative level of gene-expression can be obtained. There are numerous approaches and algorithms for interpreting the microarray results, and in doing so, we can see patterns of gene-expression, which we can then use to categorize tumors based on their characteristic expressions.4 These patterns are known as gene-expression signatures.…
Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace were two brilliant mathematicians that affected the world of Computing greatly. Ada is considered to be the first ever programmer due to the fact that she wrote the first ever algorithm for a very early computing machine on paper. Babbage was the first man who built the first general purpose computer, and although he didn't manage to see his work complete and fully working, he managed to set the idea of what was imagined to be a revolutionary machine. Charles…
Education is a key to every future endeavors and an open door to varieties of personal dreams. Educators, instructors and academic people seek high achievements in education as in for the good of their knowledge. Within the learning field, there are varieties of subjects that are being taught differently and also that include the four main that all education within the U.S enforces; such as English, Mathematical, Science, and History. However, math is appeared to be the hardest and more…
Math has always been my least favorite subject in school. If I had to sum up how I felt about math in one word it would be “ugh,” because having to take math again after completing four years of it in high school was enough. It is not that math is too complicated for myself but I have very little interest in expanding my knowledge beyond the basics (what I have already obtained). It wasn’t until last semester that I became aware of the usefulness of math I wasn’t aware of how it could intertwine…
As I was reading the many different tales in Oliver Sack’s book, I was amazed at the obscurity of each person’s case. With keeping the mind/body problem in mind while reading these tales, I was very conflicted on my position. When learning and reading about the mind/body problem in class, I really took to the monism perspectives. I believed that the mind and the nervous system are not different. I just did not understand how the mind could not be connected to the nervous system. I pictured the…
My public school education experience began in 1976 and concluded in 1989. Between 1975 and the early spring of 1980 I attended school in a Maryland suburb of Washington, DC. The spring of 1980, my family moved to what was at that time a very rural Spotsylvania County, Virginia where I would complete my public education experience. My school experiences, including those involving STEM stand in stark contrast to the experiences I provide for my students. My elementary teachers relied heavily…
