...concepts you have learned in this course, provide a real-world application of something that you think has been the most valuable to you? a.The concept of interest on a car payment. 1b. Why has it been valuable? a. Having made bought various cars over the years and having had various types of car loans and payments, I never understood the impact that interest had on my car payments. Learning about the quadratic equation and its application to interest and payment finally cleared this up for me 2a. How do you think you will use the information you learned in this course in the future? a. My dream job is to work in pharmaceutical sales. Therefore I need to take accounting courses. I will use the critical thinking skills I developed in this course to help me in future courses. b. I will also use the principles learned in this course in my future accounting courses. Especially as it applies to finance and interest 2b. Which concepts will be most important to you? a. The quadratic equation and its application in finance and accounting 2c. Explain why. Which do you anticipate will be the least important? a. As discussed above, my future position will be in sales. As such, all concepts related to finance, accounting, interest, etc., are of interest to me. The quadratic equation and its application in these domains will be the most important b. The least important will be graphing, log functions and functions, domains and ranges. 2d. Explain why. a...

...volatility in Rwanda. The review of the theoretical literature on this issue indicates that there is no clear-cut relationship between exchange rate volatility and balance of trade. This study examines the effect of exchange rate volatility and balance of trade sector in Rwanda The analysis followed the empirical methods (econometrics and time series analysis). The researchers used UBJ time series analysis to accomplish all stages (stationarity, identification, estimation, diagnostic checking and forecasting) of the models and models validation was of good quality and can be used in forecasting for future values. Polynomial regression model helped to establish the effects of exchange rate on balance of trade. The results revealed a positive quadratic relationship between exchange rate and balance of trade components and by polynomial regression model estimation, exports and imports will increase as exchange rate increases. The researchers recommended improving strategies and techniques for maintaining the quality of Rwandan exports, decreasing the...

...components that are represented by graph nodes. The existing ACO algorithms are suitable when the graph is not very large (thousands of nodes) but is not useful when the graph size can be a challenge for the computer memory and cannot be completely generated or stored in it. In this paper we study a new ACO model that overcomes the difficulties found when working with a huge construction graph. In addition to the description of the model, we analyze in the experimental section one technique used for dealing with this huge graph exploration. The results of the analysis can help to understand the meaning of the new parameters introduced and to decide which parameterization is more suitable for a given problem. For the experiments we use one real problem with capital importance in Software Engineering: refutation...

...Preparing for College Physics David Murdock TTU October 11, 2000 2 Preface! To the Instructors: This booklet is free. You may download, copy and distribute it as you wish. . . if you find it to be of any value. It can be gotten from the URL: http://iweb.tntech.edu/murdock/books/PreSci.pdf so you will need the (equally free) Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it and print it. This piece of software is on many institutional computer systems, and if you don’t have it on your machine, go get it at http://w1000.mv.us.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html The pages are in a format which looks best when printed double-sided. I’m giving it away to anyone in the same situation as me: You have many students in your introductory science courses who don’t have adequate preparation in basic mathematics, and you want to give them something simple and friendly to read. Preferably something that gets right to the point and which costs no more than the paper it’s printed on. I didn’t know where I could get a document like this, so I wrote one. You’ll notice that “significant figures” have not been rigidly observed in the numerical examples. That’s because this book is directed at students who need help in getting any correct numbers to round off. If you find this booklet to be useful or else worth exactly what it costs and/or have any suggestions, please write to me at murdock@tntech.edu To the Students: Your college science courses may very well require you to do some mathematics (algebra...
