Calculus

A quartic equation is a fourth-order polynomial equation of the form. Shortly after the discovery of a method to solve the cubic equation, Lodovico Ferrari (1522-1565), a student of Cardano, found a way to solve the quartic equation. His solution is a testimony to both the power and the limitations of elementary algebra. The objective of this project is to analyze a polynomial of degree four via various attributes using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. I was assigned a nuumber in class that resembles

Presenters: Daniel Vandiver, Bonnie Sanchez Mentor: Shannon Gracey Title: Sines of the Times: Description: A glimpse into the future applications of Calculus as it relates to space travel, evolvable space habitats, and the pursuit of making humans an inter-planetary species. Abstract: “Many say exploration is part of our destiny, but it’s actually our duty to future generations and their quest to ensure the survival of the human species.” This was spoken by Buzz Aldrin, retired NASA astronaut, on

Last year, I took calculus with one of the most challenging classes I have ever been a part of. My teacher, Mrs. Schaupp, has been teaching at my school for decades and has been highly praised for her high passing rates on the Calculus AP test. I did not know what to expect when I first walked into her class due to the myriad stories floating around and I had not previously taken an AP math class. The next months in her class were full of suffering. The stress this class, my other AP classes, and

Based on your answers, I will follow up with additional questions in order to get a clear story. 1. Please tell me about yourself.

3.0 Problems In the Process of Creating the Tool We encountered a lot of problems during the process of doing the project, mainly in three perspectives. First is the lack of coding ability, none of us had prior coding experience before and the only Excel knowledge we know is what TAs taught us in the lab. This problem branched off into many other problems such as disrupting the efficiency of the team because the critical path was delayed at times. All these problems also related back to the original

History Lee Stiff is an African American Math education professor in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University. Lee Vernon Stiff was born in 1949. His father provided for the family by working in a factory with a third- grade education level. While researching Stiff, no information was found about his mother or siblings (if he had any). This essay will provide information about the life of Lee Stiff and how he contributes to mathematics. Education In the year of 1971, Stiff

The Math Autobiography of Jacqueline Gandara Mathematics is the study of the sciences of numbers, quantities, geometry and forms. ("Mathematics dictionary definition | mathematics defined", 2016) It is a subject that is simple as well as complex. Over the years I have learned that math is not my cup of tea. I think I liked it more when I was younger, when it was simple, and easier. I guess you could say that I liked basic math, like adding, subtracting, and multiplying. Growing up, I actually

Algebra When I decided to return to school to get my degree I did not think that much about which courses I would be required to take. I knew there were basic classes such as English, Science, History and Math, and then the courses that would be required for my degree. I knew I would be taking Algebra at some point but was not expecting it to be so early on. I am not sure I see a lot of need for Algebra itself in Human Resources, but I do know that I need it to graduate. I do not feel I am being

Journal # 3 6/11 In high school, I struggled with both math and physics. Between the two, physics was more challenging for me than math. When my father realized I was failing both subjects (with flying colors) he immediately hired a tutor for me. Prior to getting help, I spent a lot of time in circles trying to figure out one question after another. For some reason I could not get the hang of physics. I started to feel embarrassed about not know how to solve my math and physics problems when I realized

Math Philosophy Paper Math is developing concepts or standards that’s important for teaching mathematics to students from Pre-K to high school. In our changing world, those who understand and can do mathematics will have significant opportunities and options for shaping their future. (NCTM 2000, p.50). The two important tools to be an effective teacher is knowledge of mathematics and how students learn mathematics. The purposes of math education effect our life since the time we were able
