In all areas of science and most areas of life‚ a fundamental and logical understanding has seemed to be the only form of understanding that I can fully accept. Mathematics embodies this‚ which is why I find the subject so stimulating and why I aim to study it at university. I have found maths to be an extremely elegant subject‚ particularly Calculus and Proof by Induction. I still find the fundamental concept of taking an infinitely small section of a parabola to allow the gradient to be constant

understand consumer behavior one must understand the term. Consumer behavior is the study of consumers and the processes they use to choose‚ use (consume)‚ and dispose of products and services. (MarketingTeacher‚ n.d.) This allows economists to predict consumer-buying patterns. Each consumer relies on different products and services based on their own income as well as their needs. Economists follow past trends and buying habits in order to assume future purchases. Now looking at utility‚ this defines

Chemical equilibrium is a state of balance within a system of chemical reactions. Equilibrium in chemistry is achieved when substances are produced and broken down at the same rate and thus‚ the number of molecules of each substances becomes constant. Thermodynamics is a branch of physical science that involves the relationship between heat and other forms of energy (Energy‚ Enthalpy‚ and the First Law of Thermodynamics). There is a more specific area of thermodynamics that explicitly pertains to

Introduction: Solubility equilibrium refers to the dissolution of a compound in water. Specifically‚ the degree to which a compound is soluble (Tro‚ 739). This can be measured using the expression Ksp = [Mb+]a[Xa-]b‚ in which Ksp represents the solubility product constant (Thorne‚ 90). This constant is important because it does not change at a given temperature‚ regardless of the solution a compound is in; a smaller constant would indicate lower overall solubility. It is important to note that

Abstract: This paper discusses the mathematics of the Native Americans inhabiting the vast lands north of present-day Mexico. The mathematical accomplishments of the Central and South American indigenous people are not a focus. The development of the number words‚ the recurrence of certain numerical themes in the art and architecture are noted. The paper presents the numbers and math as required to keep the records of cyclical time and possessions amassed in the cycle. Also discussed is the symbolic

Also‚ this paper has compared its result with many related paper and provides the robustness analysis. I provide the review of this paper on the next chapter. I then discuss the intuition and the research gap in the last two chapters. II. Review of the paper: Should Central Banks Lean Against Changes in Asset Prices? 1. Introduction and Brief
