Also, there is no hard and fast rule. For example, a person from a mechanical engineering background can perform the work of an electrical engineer, given the person has the required skills. Having the required skill set to execute the task in a project is what matters. One often needs to learn new skills and keep oneself updated according to the requirement of the problem.

The transpose of a matrix is obtained by flipping the rows with the columns: 2 3 a11 a21 : : : an1 6 a12 a22 : : : an2 7 AT = 6 7 6 . 7 4 . 5 a1m a2m : : : anm T which evidently is now an n × m matrix, with components Aij = Aji = aji. In other words, the transpose is obtained by simply flipping the row and column indeces. One particularly important matrix is called the identity matrix, which is composed of 1’s on the diagonal and 0’s everywhere else: 21 0 ::: 03 60 1 ::: 07 6 7 6. .. .7 4. .5 0 0 ::: 1 1 It is called the identity matrix because the product of any matrix with the identity matrix is identical to itself: AI = A In other words, I is the equivalent of the number 1 for matrices. For our purposes, a vector can simply be thought of as a matrix with one column1: 2 3 a1 6a2 7 a = 6 7 6 .

  • Real-World Problems Through Computational Thinking Tools and Concepts: the Case of Coronavirus 46 Disease (COVID-19)
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2397-7604.htm JRIT 14,1 Real-world problems through computational thinking tools and concepts: the case of coronavirus 46 disease (COVID-19) Received 2 December 2020 Hatice Beyza Sezer and Immaculate Kizito Namukasa Revised 6 January 2021 Accepted 6 January 2021 Department of Curriculum Studies, Western University Faculty of Education, London, Canada Abstract Purpose – Many mathematical models have been shared to communicate about the COVID-19 outbreak; however, they require advanced mathematical skills. The main purpose of this study is to investigate in which way computational thinking (CT) tools and concepts are helpful to better understand the outbreak, and how the context of disease could be used as a real-world context to promote elementary and middle-grade students’ mathematical and computational knowledge and skills. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, the authors used a qualitative research design, specifically content analysis, and analyzed two simulations of basic SIR models designed in a Scratch. The authors examine the extent to which they help with the understanding of the parameters, rates and the effect of variations in control measures in the mathematical models. Findings – This paper investigated the four dimensions of sample simulations: initialization, movements, transmission, recovery process and their connections to school mathematical and computational concepts. Research limitations/implications – A major limitation is that this study took place during the pandemic and the authors could not collect empirical data. Practical implications – Teaching mathematical modeling and computer programming is enhanced by elaborating in a specific context.

  • Math 308: Autumn 2019 Course Notes Robert Won
    Math 308: Autumn 2019 Course Notes Robert Won These are course notes from a linear algebra course at the University of Washington taught during Autumn 2019. The textbook was Linear Algebra with Applications by Jeffrey Holt, but many other sources contributed to these notes. Jake Levinson provided me with his handwritten notes from when he taught 308 at UW. Jeremy Rouse and Jason Gaddis both gave me TeXed notes from their linear algebra courses at Wake Forest (which used the textbook by Lay). I thank Jake, Jeremy, and Jason for generously sharing their materials. I also thank Liz Wicks for contributing the images of graphs, which she made when she used these notes for her 308 class. 1. Wednesday 9/25: Systems of Linear Equations (1.1) Introduction and Syllabus • On board: MATH 308, Robert Won, [email protected], PDL C-418, Office hours: M 1:30{ 2:30, W 2:30{3:30pm. • Q: What is linear algebra? If you've taken any math before, you've probably thought a good bit about one-dimensional space and two-dimensional space. If you're one of the many students who has taken multi- variable calculus, then you've probably thought a good bit about 3-dimensional space. In linear algebra, we will study n-dimensional space, but we will only worry about “flat” things. This theory is still extremely useful, because even if things aren't flat, if we look at them closely enough, they can look flat. (This is the essential idea in calculus.) The main focus of the class will be getting a coherent and somewhat abstract theory of systems of linear equations.

  • Strategies: What to Do When They’Re Stuck Jennifer Georgia
    2020 LDSHE h o m e e d u c a t i o n c o n f e r e n c e Strategies: What To Do When They’re Stuck Jennifer Georgia Solid math understanding is made of a wide and deep knowledge base, flexible thinking skills, and a positive “can-do” attitude. These three components cycle over and over through the years, adding layer upon layer of understanding. If there are malfunctions in any of the areas, it will affect the others. Best-Practice Math Repair 1. Mitigate anxiety and promote positive emotions Common Math Malfunctions 2. Take multiple breaks, or have learning time 1. Math anxiety when the brain is calm (after dinner) 2. Attention problems: environmental or 3. Manipulatives! physiological 4. Multisensory learning, find patterns, create their 3. Weak number sense own math book, constant review through games 4. Weak memory 5. Roll back the thinking from abstract to mental 5. Inability to hold two concepts in the mind at image, to concrete, then to “vibrant concrete” once—fractions 6. Anything that promotes the development of 6. Inability to generalize—algebra inductive reasoning, or that gets kids out of math “ruts” (or even better, never lets them fall in) Decrease Negative and Boost Positive Emotions: Only attempt math when child is well rested, well fed, and has just had some movement time. Use eye contact, breathing, touch, and music to re-center and calm an anxious child. Use a timer: “How long do you think you should puzzle over this one before moving on?” Also keep the total math session fairly short—avoid the frustration/tiredness wall.

  • 2019 Frankfurt Rights Guide
    The MIT Press Frankfurt Book Fair 2019 Rights Guide CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS GROWTH From Microorganisms to Megacities Vaclav Smil (author of Energy and Civilization: A History) 536 pages; OCTOBER 2019 “Does for the history of energy what Thomas Piketty did for the history of inequality.” — Rutger Bregman, author of Utopia for Realists “Perhaps the world's foremost thinker on energy of all kinds.” — Science A magisterial investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations by Bill Gates’ favorite scientist and the bestselling author of Energy and Civilization: A History. Growth has been both an unspoken and explicit aim of humankind’s individual and collective striving since the time when we could first walk upright. It shapes the capabilities of our extraordinarily large brains and the fortunes of our economies and even governs the lives of microorganisms and galaxies. Growth is manifested in annual increments of continental crust, a rising gross domestic product, a child's growth chart, the spread of cancerous cells. In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers a systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations. He takes readers on a journey from bacterial invasions and animal metabolisms to megacities and the ever-expanding global economy. He examines the growth of energy conversions and man-made objects that fuel and enable our economy ―developments that have been essential to the growth of civilization. Finally, he looks at the complex systemic growth of human populations, its challenges and conquests―through cities, empires, civilizations―explaining that we can chart the steady growth of organisms across individual and evolutionary time, but that the often non-linear progress of societies and economies encompasses both decline and renewal.
