mathematics and physics takes the order of linearity and shows how it relates to the unpredictability of the world around us. It is called Chaos Theory. The secular definition of chaos can be misleading when the word is used in a scientific context. As defined by Webster’s dictionary chaos is total disorder. That may lead one to believe that chaos theory is indeed the study of total disorder‚ which it truly is not. In 1986 at a prestigious conference on Chaos another definition for chaos was introduced

Theory of Parabolas By Amergin McDavid A parabola is designed on a basic formula‚ Y=ax^2+bx+c‚ which allows it to achieve a curve not seen in a normal line graphed using a Y=mx+b format. To the left is a graph who’s formula is y=x^2‚ where a=1‚ b=0‚ and c=0. I have isolated the (a) factor to see its effects on the parabola. Below is a graph where I have changed the (a) multiple times. The result is that as the (a) decreases‚ the mouth of the parabola widens due to the fact that (a) is essentially

Green’s theorem reinterpreted We begin with the situation obtained in Section 12C for a region R in R2 . With the positive orientation for bdR‚ we have ∂f dxdy = ∂x R f dy‚ bdR ∂g dxdy = − ∂y R gdx. bdR We now consider a vector field F = (F1 ‚ F2 ) on R‚ and we obtain from Green’s theorem ∂F1 ∂F2 + ∂x ∂y R dxdy = F1 dy − F2 dx. bdR (Notice if we were thinking in terms of Stokes’ theorem‚ we would put the minus sign on the left side instead of the right.)

Introduction There are many theories given by different group of researchers about the existence of multinational enterprises or MNE’s.

The Coherence Theory of Truth First published Tue Sep 3‚ 1996; substantive revision Tue Sep 9‚ 2008 A coherence theory of truth states that the truth of any (true) proposition consists in its coherence with some specified set of propositions. The coherence theory differs from its principal competitor‚ the correspondence theory of truth‚ in two essential respects. The competing theories give conflicting accounts of the relation between propositions and their truth conditions. (In this article‚ ‘proposition’
