Number theory

possible 334 points. The teacher will divide the number of points earned, 299, by the total possible points, 334, with the answer of 0.895. The teacher then multiplied this answer by 100 creating the number 89.5. This number is able to be rounded to the nearest ten percent, 90%. The student achieved the qualification for a grade of A. The student would not be given the grade of A if the teacher truncates the whole number. Truncating the number to the nearest whole, would leave the student…

Unlike the normal term theory, a scientific theory must be backed by evidence. In general, the term theory suggests an idea with evidence or proof to back it up. A hypothesis is an idea that hasn’t been proven yet and, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, every scientific theory begins as a hypothesis. If evidence is then accumulated to support the hypothesis, then is begins a theory as it has evidence to support the belief. Evidence linked to theory can involve observations, experiments…

How I Got Here through a criminological angle. I shall summarize Medina’s story, present a simplistic format of the theories I believe were in play in her story, and then connect those theories with her story. Additionally, I want to note that I will only disclose the theories that I consider to have been the most prominent in Medina’s story, since, there is a large number of theories that can rationalize what happened; but perhaps not as apparent. Brenda Medina’s story prior to the arrest…

Throughout the years, many theories have been developed to explain criminal behavior. Some of those theories were uncommon, while other theories evolved with time, and are still being explored and used today(Bohm & Vogel, 2011). In the past, theories were mainly explored individually, today criminologists seek to find the best solutions to crime as they explore a combination of theories. An integrated theory is a theory that combines theories or concepts from the same or different disciplines.…

Truths Observed in Nature Demonstrate a Judeo-Christian God Exists When looking at religious beliefs from generations before us, the Judeo-Christian God, the creator, is referred to as “The essence of goodness, love, justice, compassion, and mercy; the protector of the innocent and the faithful; the enemy of the wicked and the infidel. God is pure spirit with no material substance and neither beginning nor end” (White, pg. 284). These arguments of God’s existence are believed to have not been…

The theory of pro: An Italian perspective Introduction Universal Grammar (UG) is a linguistics theory which supports the idea that all human languages, although different in the surface, share some fundamental principles. These principles are generally true across languages, while parameters, on the other hand, are settings that allow for variation from language to language (White, 2003, p.2). The Extended Projection Principle (EPP) is a principle common to all languages which states that a…

Explain. In what sense then does Laudan believe that science involves rational progress? Laudan does agree with Kuhn that scientific history precludes one from seeing it as providing theories that ever-more-closely-approximate the truth about nature since paradigm shifts leads to changes in definitions of truth instead of a cumulative progression towards truth. It is difficult to claim science is progressing towards truth because there…

however at times they intertwine with one another. Such a thing comes in handy especially on test, when I am able to solve an AP Calculus problem using mathematical methodology and concepts learned from IB Math. A great example being using Sandwich Theory for solving for the limit of complex differentiables. So, from my personal experience, I can agree with the idea that mathematics shall always be reliable when proven definitely true. Accepted knowledge involving mathematics because it is…

up with scientific management theory, which became foundation of the management theory. Following Fredrick’s scientific management theory, Elton Mayo’s Human relation management theory had come up which focused more on psychological part of workers.…

approaches (theory) can be used to explain why a behavior has happened, how and the consequences of that behavior. Examples of such theories are the social cognitive perspective and the humanistic perspective. This essay focuses on the main concepts of these two theories, how they differ and their limitations when applied. The Social Cognitive Perspective The Social Cognitive Theory started in the 1960s as Social Learning Theory. It later developed in to Social Cognitive Theory in 1986. This…
