Parallel algorithm

The ability to understand programming and all of its algorithms will grant anybody the power to keep up with technology. This is why elementary schools need computer science classes integrated into their curriculum. Teaching young children how to program will evolve the world in new ways by allowing these individuals to create new applications and technology. Since there are not any computer science related courses offered in elementary schools, they are restricted from the opportunity to learn…

In the article, “Grace Murray Hopper – Programming Pioneer”, author V. Rajaraman summarizes the life and accomplishments of Grace Murray Hopper, a woman who is credited for several major computer and technology developments. Rajaraman goes into extensive detail about Hopper’s early life, such as how Hopper focused heavily on her education in order to receive a PhD in Mathematics at Yale University which soon lead her to become a math professor at Vassar College. Rajaraman also mentions how…

Statement of Purpose “How do we ask the turtle to trace out a circle? Remember, it only knows how to walk in straight lines and turn around.” Playing with the Logo turtle on screen in sixth grade was my first exposure to computer science. I was immediately fascinated by the idea of approximating a smooth circle with a regular polygon of, say, 360 sides. Staring at the “circle” on screen, I could not quite digest the fact that it was something produced in a fundamentally different way compared to…

Shirley Jackson’s symbolism in The Lottery portrays manhood’s nature as meaningless due to a savage tradition. On literature, symbolism is important to understand foreshadowing and distinctions. In some cases, symbols can have a cultural significance and non-changing for the characters in the story. However, sometimes the meaning of the symbols is deeply hidden and understood as the story continues. Characters in literature are fundamental to understand the story being told by either a character…

One of the most important goals for me to do at this university is to graduate in four years with minimal student debt. In order to do that, I need to make sure that I take classes that will help me graduate while at the same time have enough skills to get a good job. The best way to do this is to make a plan to use the resources at their fullest. My plans to succeed are on how to graduate with all of my required courses, how to make use of co-curricular activities to increase my competitiveness…

on the world. By utilizing the principles of psychology I’ll be able to create AI capable of mimicking human-level intelligence, learning, and memory. Additionally, the principles of psychology will help in the creation of AI capable of devising algorithms to best appropriate natural resources, create better forms of government, and increase the quality of life for the people of the world. Thus bringing the dream of an ideal society to reality. In conclusion, by studying psychology I have gained…

In chapter 1 of the book Outlier by Malcolm Gladwell, Gladwell introduces the “Matthew effect” which he gives his general description of an individual merit. An individual merit is earned by evaluating people’s performance across a wide range of potentials skills. He gives an example of a Canadian hockey player who rises to the top of sport in Canada. As a young child, Canadian boys begins to plays sport at the beginner level, before they were even in kindergarten. From that point on, there are…

yet would like to get more in depth in. Quantum mechanics has always been a field I have admired because of how it sparks curiosity in my analytical side. Just as how I yearn to not just be able to utilize but to understand complex mathematical algorithms, I want to be able to know how quantum mechanics functions in our universe; this field plays a huge role in mankind’s scientific achievements. It is a field with groundbreaking accomplishments that will alter the scientific world as we know it,…

2.5. Statistical analysis Multivariate analysis was performed using two algorithms: PCA and 2-D HCA heat map. The PCA, based on the correlation matrix, was performed using XLStat-Pro 2015 software. The 2-D HCA heat map was carried out with the ArrayTrack, and the Ward's minimum-variance method was used for runs and hydrocarbons clustering. A probability level of p=0.05 was considered as significant difference. The data obtained from the RSM on the hydrocarbon removal were subjected to the…
