Decision of Uncertainty Paper All decision-making has some level of uncertainly. “Competent researchers and astute managers alike practice thinking habits that reflect sound reasoning—finding correct premises‚ testing the connections between their facts and assumptions‚ making claims based on adequate evidence” (Cooper & Schindler‚ 2006). Data from appropriate investigations can lead to high quality decisions with a lesser amount of uncertainty. Risks in everyday life can be reduced. Our

The Mean Value Theorem Russell Buehler b.r@berkeley.edu 1. Verify that f (x) = x3 − x2 − 6x + 2 satisfies the hypotheses of Rolle’s theorem for the interval [0‚ 3]‚ then find all c that satisfy the conclusion. www.xkcd.com 2. Let f (x) = tan(x). Show that f (0) = f (π)‚ but there is no number c in (0‚ π) such that f (c) = 0. Is this a counterexample to Rolle’s theorem? Why or why not? 3. Verify that f (x) = x3 − 3x + 2 satisfies the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on [−2‚ 2]‚ then

topics of Napoleon’s Theorem‚ the first thing that struck my mind was that it was somehow related to the French leader‚ Napoleon Bonaparte. But then a thought struck me: Napoleon was supposed to good at only politics and the art of warfare. Mathematics was never related to him. On surfing the internet to learn about the theorem‚ I came to know that this theorem was in fact named after the same Napoleon as he was good at Maths too (other than waging wars and killing people). The theorem was discovered in

Graphs‚ Groups and Surfaces 1 Introduction In this paper‚ we will discuss the interactions among graphs‚ groups and surfaces. For any given graph‚ we know that there is an automorphism group associated with it. On the other hand‚ for any group‚ we could associate with it a graph representation‚ namely a Cayley graph of presentations of the group. We will first describe such a correspondence. Also‚ a graph is always embeddable in some surface. So we will then focus on properties of graphs

Other than those listed in the text‚ how might the Pythagorean theorem be used in everyday life? Well other than the way its listed in the text the way that the pythagorean theorem can be used any time is when we have a right triangle‚ we know the length of two sides‚ and we want to find the
