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 ...
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 ...
A cubic surface is defined as the set of zeroes of a homogeneous polynomial f of degree three in three-dimensional real projective space given by
S = {(x : y : z : w) ∈ P³(R)| f (x, y, z, w) = 0}. The geometric classification ...
The focus of this paper is to find properties inherent to constructible families of subsets. From a family of subsets U = {A1,A2,...}, U1 is defined to be U∪ {(Ai)c,Am ∪ An,Am ∩ An : Ai,Am,An ∈ U}. From U1, U2 can be defined ...
Developmental mathematics courses are historically difficult classes for community college students. The failure rate of these courses is alarmingly high. Supplemental Instruction (SI) was developed to assist students in ...
