  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page{s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Black Hole Math Is Designed to Be Used As a Supplement for Teaching Mathematical Topics
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration andSpace Aeronautics National ole M a th B lack H i This collection of activities, updated in February, 2019, is based on a weekly series of space science problems distributed to thousands of teachers during the 2004-2013 school years. They were intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in the math and physical science curriculum in grades 10 through 12. The problems are designed to be ‘one-pagers’ consisting of a Student Page, and Teacher’s Answer Key. This compact form was deemed very popular by participating teachers. The topic for this collection is Black Holes, which is a very popular, and mysterious subject among students hearing about astronomy. Students have endless questions about these exciting and exotic objects as many of you may realize! Amazingly enough, many aspects of black holes can be understood by using simple algebra and pre-algebra mathematical skills. This booklet fills the gap by presenting black hole concepts in their simplest mathematical form. General Approach: The activities are organized according to progressive difficulty in mathematics. Students need to be familiar with scientific notation, and it is assumed that they can perform simple algebraic computations involving exponentiation, square-roots, and have some facility with calculators. The assumed level is that of Grade 10-12 Algebra II, although some problems can be worked by Algebra I students. Some of the issues of energy, force, space and time may be appropriate for students taking high school Physics. For more weekly classroom activities about astronomy and space visit the NASA website, http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov Add your email address to our mailing list by contacting Dr.
