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,…

this problem using Firefly Algorithm (FA) and k-means clustering by three steps: cluster the nodes, finding optimal path in each cluster and connect the clusters. The first step is to divide all nodes into sub-problems using k-means clustering, the second step is to use FA to find optimal path in each cluster, finally connect all clusters and find the path between them. The experimental results show that FA with k-means clustering has better results than ant colony algorithm using clustering and…

Jhamiya Sumpter Period 6 2/15/18 Katherine Johnson Katherine Johnson is an African American woman who is from White Sulphur Springs, West Virgina and attended West Virgina college in 1937 studying Mathematics and French. Katherine Johnson was very brilliant she went to high school at the age of thirteen because she was very intelligent with her numbers. Katherine Johnson was also the third African American to earn her PhD in Mathematics. Katherine Johnson contributed to space…

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…

Alan Turing was a rather exceptional mathematician and scientist who played a crucial role in the development of both modern computing and artificial intelligence. While arguably his most famed achievement is the well known Turing Test he accomplished a bevy of feats in his time. From an early age Mr. Turing displayed an inquisitive mind which was further nurtured and developed as he went off to college where his unusual mind was already beginning to shine. Displaying a startling firm grasp of…

Ada Lovelace, a gifted mathematician, she is famed for having written the instructions to the first computer program in the 1800s. Born the daughter of the famous poet, Lord Byron, Augusta Ada Bryan—“Ada Lovelace” was born in December 10, 1815 in London. At an early age it was evident that she had a gift when it came to mathematics. She was able to translate an article about an invention by Charles Babbage, while incorporating her on comments. She is accredited of being the first computer…

Thesis: Offering computer science classes to all students as early as kindergarten should be encouraged, because the school’s best interest is within the skill sets our children will need for future use. I. Importance of putting coding classes in schools curriculum. A. The need for this skill set and benefits from learning. 1. Jobs are in high demand for people with education in coding. Additionally computer science jobs are high paying 2. Coding teaches many other valuable techniques such as…

The Secret Of A Successful Job There is one of the most important ways to make your job better, and doing a special work. The way to do a successful job is to love what you do. Successful people love what they work on. For example: Steve Jobs is one of powerful people, he always says, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do”. In my own experience, I studied Computer Science for two years at University of Kuwait. Then, I worked at a petroleum company called KJO, which is one…

Presenting Needs and Initial Intake: Our holistic work with community members begins with our Direct Service Network. Upon arrival at the Panacea Institute for Equality in Education, families are greeted with a “pre-screen” process to determine their presenting need. At this initial entry point, education challenges supersede all other family challenges. The support staff responsible for the prescreening process will determine the severity of the educational challenge and will determine how…
