Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used to linearly separate & classify
data. If our data is not linearly separable, we use a kernel function to map
data to a suitable space where linear classification is possible. We ...
All bettors, including the ”House,” experience losing streaks and winning
streaks. The House typically has a ”bankroll” that is orders of magnitude
larger than that of any individual bettor, and so can survive losing ...
In the 1950s, scientists predicted it would take ten years to develop
robots capable of performing most human tasks. Today, 50 years later, scientists are still predicting it will take ten years. The primary obstacle to ...
The objective of this thesis is to create a concrete statement about the
existence of rational points in the unit square. We will use the following
definition for a rational point: A rational point is defined as a point ...
A.V. Skorokhod introduced four ways to evaluate distances now known respectively as J1, J2, M1, and M2 on cadlag space D in 1956. The most commonly used today Skorokhod metric, J1, will be discussed in details. The aim of ...
Algebra students have a difficult time learning abstract concepts such as exponents and logarithms. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the success of teaching exponential and logarithmic concepts to algebra ...
There are many things in life that we take for granted. Take for example, the mystery of a folding sunshade. What forces cause the sunshade to fold into a smaller circle and lock? There is actually a mathematical model for ...
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation
system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and managed by the United States Air Force ...
Many students arrive in college thinking of mathematics as a set of procedures to memorize and apply. This is in direct opposition to mathematicians‟ conviction that mathematical learning consists of developing an understanding ...
