interpolation as the size n becomes large (you may use the file splinemat.m)? 6. A parabolic runout spline is the interpolating function you get by changing the condition f ′′ (x1 ) = f ′′ (xn ) = 0 to the condition that p1 (x) and pn−1 (x) should be quadratic polynomials (that is‚ a1 = an−1 = 0). Modify the file splinemat.m so that it computes the matrix relevant to this modified problem. Call the modified file splinematpr.m.

The question of what is real and what makes us real has been a philosophical question with many different answers. Aristotle’s theory of Hylomorphism explains the reality of the universe‚ objects‚ and people in a materialistic way. Hylomorphism is the depiction that every physical thing is composed of two things: Matter and Form. Matter is the potency‚ or the potential of the physical object or being and the Form is its essence. Aristotle describes substance or Form as the truest and primary sense

MTH 405 Midterm 16/3/2011 1. A specific area for the area of various polygons is the one for the area of a regular polygon. The setup and initial steps to creating the proof require a geometric approach that would otherwise make proving a big challenge. For example‚ a polygon with n sides is broken up into a collection of n congruent triangles‚ this geometric setup is key in reaching an easy solution for the area. The algebraic aspect comes into play when it comes to deriving the equation
