• What information did you not know before? I actually did know some of these items, or at least the terms, previously but not in the sense that they were presented to us this week. I was familiar with vertices, edges, and the formal notation of a graph. I didn’t have an appreciation for how graphs could be applied to creating and managing associations with various items by applying them as vertices or edges in a way beyond their representation as numeric coordinates. • What information was…
Experiment 2: The Size of Molecules & Avogadro’s Number Name: Julia Bland Lab Section: Tuesday A.M. (11:30) TA’s Name: Yuogi Date: October 15th Course: CHEM 1001 Abstract: Avogadro’s number is one of the vital constants in the chemistry world, used in a multitude of experimental and theoretical calculations. This lab endeavours to experimentally measure Avogadro’s number by adding drops of stearic acid into a known area of distilled water, and using this data, calculate the molecules in…
ingredients are the three laws of probability well stirred with the ladle of the imperfect shuffle, Factor X, and seasoned with the spice of bluff. Hence every Poker player should understand thoroughly the theory and practice of percentage. Law of Single Event. The probability of a favorable event equals one divided by the number of possible events, provided that every possible event has an equal chance of happening as in getting a certain card. For example, what is the probability of getting…
QP engaged Shonquasia in participating in a CBT activity geared towards responsible decision making. QP explained to Shonquasia that the activity will enhance her ability to make good decisions. QP explained to Shonquasia what inactive decision making style is provide an example. QP asked Shonquasia if she puts off making difficult decision. QP asked Shonquasia to explain what reactive decision style is and provide an example. QP discussed with Shonquasia what proactive decision is provide an…
misconceptions and the whole process has been eye-opening with regards to the number of things to consider in my own planning for these “mock” teaching scenarios.Turning to the article on functions by NCTM, I was reminded of my own mathematics learning experiences in middle and high school. I feel as if my understanding of functions (prior to college mathematics) was never fully developed. I’m not sure if we were even shown a “puddle” or “mapping” diagram in any of my secondary math classes;…
Related rates are used in a wide variety of different scenarios from finding how large a spill is increasing, to how fast it may take to empty something. Related rates deal with time, usually have two different variables like height, length, radius, or width; and have something that is changing like area, distance, or volume. In order to solve related rates problems you need to be able to recall or have access to basic geometry formulas like circle, cone, cylinder, rectangle, triangle and…
Material bulk engineering properties such as angle of repose, bulk density, grain to grain angle of internal friction and cohesion can be easily be measured from laboratory tests and related to grain-machine interaction systems responses where the micro parameters in DEM models are developed using particle-particle friction, particle-geometry friction and the particle density to simulate material behavior (Asaf et al., 2007). The particle size and shape distribution are…
Introduction: Microclimate is the difference in climate that occurs on a very small scale. Microclimate can be created because of altitude, aspect, vegetation, color of the ground, and boulders and burrows. Aspect is created in the presence of topographic features like hills, mountains, and valleys. In the Northern Hemisphere, the north-facing slopes are cooler because they receive less sun than the south-facing slopes. Since they receive less sun, they are also moister due to decreased…
process of identifying and removing as much of the irrelevant and redundant information as possible from a dataset. If the data dimensions are reduced, we will be able to improve the performance of the applied classification algorithms. They will function faster, more efficiently and will be with an improved classification accuracy. As an addition we can also execute data visualization, and increase the insight of the potential classification model [] . There are many different proposed…
have chosen is Probability, in Mathematical Methods Unit 1 Area Study 4: Probability and Statistics (VCAA, 2015). The first section presents a literature review of student learning probability. It also addresses the common pitfalls that may impede their learning. The second section outlines a unit plan for teaching probability based on the new VCE study design. Sample activities worksheets and assessment tasks are included in the appendices. Literature Review: Learning Probability Given the…
