Gods Gift to Calculators: The Taylor Series It is incredible how far calculators have come since my parents were in college‚ which was when the square root key came out. Calculators since then have evolved into machines that can take natural logarithms‚ sines‚ cosines‚ arcsines‚ and so on. The funny thing is that calculators have not gotten any "smarter" since then. In fact‚ calculators are still basically limited to the four basic operations: addition‚ subtraction‚ multiplication‚ and division

This paper is a discussion of a debate between Julian L. Simon‚ author of The Ultimate Resource‚ and David Pimentel et al.‚ authors of the article "Impact of Population Growth on Food Supplies and Environment". The debate centers on the question: "Will the World Be Able to Feed Itself in the Foreseeable Future?" I will summarize each side’s argument‚ identify the key point over which they most basically disagree‚ and explain what I would like to know more about in order to arrive at my own position

they worked on circumventing the problem in their own product. This Focused Differentiation Strategy was successful in bringing AMD closer to Intel’s position in the market. Perhaps AMD did not forecast appropriately or think about how to manage exponential growth. As a result‚ the gains it enjoyed in the late 90s and the first half of the present decade began to falter by 2005.

their unique circumstances. For the industrial intermediaries division‚ polymers and detergents each need a different method. Since the polymer intermediates sales have risen by a high number of 40% over a two year period and are unpredictable‚ an exponential smoothing method would be most appropriate. This method weights highest on the most recent years sales history. For the detergent intermediates‚ a moving average method would be most appropriate because sales have been stable overall in the past

So the first step towards finding out the price is to solve the first given equation. After finding the price for their company’s shoes the next step would be to find the company’s revenue. Then finding the marginal revenue will follow. After following all the necessary steps to solve these equations; the company then wants
