Extractions: Another rule of thumb to follow when creating fields is to use constants (static final variables) for constant values that are passed to, returned from, or used within methods. If a method expects one of a finite set of constant values in one of its parameters, defining constants helps make it more obvious to client programmers what needs to be passed in that parameter. Likewise, if a method returns one of a finite set of values, declaring constants makes it more obvious to client programmers what to expect as output. For example, it is easier to understand this: than it is to understand this: You should also define constants for internal use by the methods of a class even if those constants aren't used outside the class so they are easier to understand and change. Using constants makes code more flexible. If you realize you miscalculated a value and you didn't use a constant, you'll have to go through your code and change every occurrence of the hard-coded value. If you did use a constant, however, you'll only need to change it where it is defined as a constant. Constants and the Java compiler A useful thing to know about the Java compiler is that it treats static final fields (constants) differently than other kinds of fields. References to static final variables initialized to a compile-time constant are resolved at compile-time to a local copy of the constant value. This is true for constants of all the primitive types and of type

http://web.mit.edu/wwmath/calculus/differentiation/polynomials.html

Extractions: Suggested Prerequisites: Definition of differentiation Polynomials are some of the simplest functions we use. We need to know the derivatives of polynomials such as x x x x +6, and 2. Let's start with the easiest of these, the function y f x c , where c is any constant, such as 2, 15.4, or one million and four (10 +4). It turns out that the derivative of any constant function is zero. This makes sense if you think about the derivative as the slope of a tangent line. To use the definition of a derivative, with f x c For completeness, now consider y f x x . This is the equation of a straight line with slope 1, and we expect to find this from the definition of the derivative. We are not disappointed: Two things to note in the above: It may be tempting to ``cancel'' the term `` dx '' in the intermediate step. This is valid, but only in this simple case. It will never be as easy as this again, although it won't be much harder. Before going to the most general case, consider y f x x . This is the most basic parabola, as shown. The derivative of

Extractions: Bound as we humans are to three spacial dimensions, multi-variable functions can be very difficult to get a good feel for. (Try picturing a function in the 17th dimension and see how far you get!) We can at least make three-dimensional models of two-variable functions, but even then at a stretch to our intuition. What is needed is a way to cheat and look at multi-variable functions as if they were one-variable functions. We can do this by using partial functions . A partial function is a one-variable function obtained from a function of several variables by assigning constant values to all but one of the independent variables. What we are doing is taking two-dimensional "slices" of the surface represented by the equation. For Example: z x y can be modeled in three dimensional space, but personally I find it difficult to sketch! In the section on critical points a picture of a plot of this function can be found as an example of a saddle point. But by alternately setting x =1 (red)

Extractions: (top of page) Limits (Sequences, functions, graphs) What do the numbers 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, . . . get closer and closer to? It may be clear that they approach zero, so we say the limit is 0. The nth term is 1/n, so the notation is lim 1/n = 0. (The -> means "approaches"; the oo is a cheesy infinity symbol.) f(x) = lim 1/x = 0. On the graph we'd have a horizontal asymptote at y = since the output values approach as the graph goes off to the right. (Click here to review functions or graphing.) Example 1: [x+3] = 6. Example 2: Let g(x) = (x^2 - 9) / (x - 3) . By algebra, we have g(x) = (x + 3)(x - 3) / (x - 3) and if x =/= 3 then we can cancel, so g(x) = x + 3 if x =/= 3. Notice that f(3) = 6 but g(3) is undefined. The f(x) from example 1 has domain "all real numbers," but the g(x) from example 2 has domain "all reals except 3," so they're different functions. But the limit as x -> 3 is the same in both cases: lim f(x) = lim Example 3: Some other interesting limits: lim [(sin x) / x] = 1 lim [(1 + x)^(1/x)] = e = 2.71828 approx

Tracy Allen stamp index home */ and ** operators for multiplying a variable times a fraction, overview top To set the stage: Suppose you have a decimal fraction like 3.1214, or a rational fraction like 22/7=3+1/7. Either of those is an approximation to PI. The first is an approximation using a denominator of 10000: 3.1416=31416/10000. And 22/7 is a good approximation with a denominator of 7. 31416/10000 is a better approximation to PI, but it uses a much larger denominator. Think about making approximations using a denominator like 256 or 65536, which happen to be convenient exact powers of two (2^8 and 2^16). The principal of approximation is exactly the same as it is with a denominator of a power of 10. The best approximations to PI with those denominators are, 205888/65536=3+ 9280/65536, and 804/256=3+ 36/256. The approximation with 65536 as the denominator is better than with 256 as the denominator, for the same reason as 31416/100000 is better than 314/100. The BS2 */ and ** operators do exactly that: Y = X */ Z1 ' X is a variable, Z1 is a constant ' effectively forming the fraction Z1/256 ' the Stamp implicitly performs the division by 256 Y = X ** Z2 ' X is a variable, Z2 is a constant ' effectively forming the fraction Z2/65536 ' the Stamp implicitly performs the division by 65536

Extractions: However, noone should be satisfied by that. In fact, this number is perhaps the most fantastic aspect of this fractal. There are many many formulas that produce the same tree, but the number is always the same. It is said that mr. Mitchell Feigenbaum called home to his mother when he discovered this universality and said this was going to make him famous. The famous value, comes when you compare the length of one part of the tree, that is a parts between the line divisions/bifurcations. See illustration at right. The first part is from -0.25 to 0.75, and has a length of 1.00. The next part is from 0.75 to 1.25, and has a length of 0.50. The relationship between the two lengths is 1.00/0.50=2.00. Now that is far from the Feigenbaumvalue, but the exact value springs up when you compare two parts as far right as possible, as long as x follows a periodic orbit. I have graphically found the values for the first 6 bifurcations: Bifurc no.

Pressing F8 opens the function plot dialog of the The vOICe's accessible graphing calculator. The dialog allows you to enter a function formula and set its x and y ranges, with optional function range fitting. Any user-defined function y of x gives an auditory function plot, or sound graph, with elevation y indicated by pitch in a left-to-right scan corresponding to a sweep of x. This procedure is in fact exactly the same as used with regular soundscapes of images, so there is no new or different mapping involved: it just corresponds to having a white curve on a black background, with the curve function specified by you. To give an illustration, the built-in example function 5*sin(x), or five times the sine of x, on an interval for x from -10 to +10, gives a sound as given in the following 44K soundscape file link. Note the extra fixed-pitch tone corresponding to the horizontal x axis, and the click in the middle corresponding to the vertical y axis.

Tuesday, August 27, 2002 Overall SAT scores remain constant math scoresincrease slightly, verbal scores dip By the Associated Press.
http://newstribune.com/stories/082702/sta_0827020028.asp

Extractions: SAT scores for the high school class of 2002 were even with last year's graduates, as a two-point increase in math proficiency was offset by a two-point decrease on the language portion of the college entrance test. Figures released Tuesday by the College Board, the New York-based nonprofit which owns the SAT, reflect a cumulative score of 1,020 identical to the average achieved by the class of 2001. Test-takers averaged 504 on the verbal segment of the test and 516 on the math section. Gaston Caperton, the College Board president, noted math scores have increased by 15 points over the past 10 years, and attributed the gain to a renewed emphasis on mathematics in the nation's high schools. The College Board said 45 percent of this year's high school seniors took precalculus, compared to 12 percent in 1992. But Jeanne Allen, president of the Center for Education Reform, a Washington-based advocacy group, called the math results unimpressive. "The SAT has been restructured now so many times that even modest improvement in math scores, for example, doesn't mean much," she said.
