For many of us, medical statistics might just one of if not the most abstract subject of our entire curriculum. Intimidated by terms like ‘non-parametric test’ and ‘logistic regression,’ you tend to just skip those terrifying questions on the Progress Test and just avoid anything related to research. Fear not, however, this PanEssay will explain some of the basics so you can get back to actual physician matters.
First, it is vital to distinguish between the different types of variables. We have numerical and categorical variables, each with their own subtypes. Numerical variables are quantitative, meaning they have a value. The first subtype of these is the continuous variable, which can have any value (2.81, 98, -5.6), for example height. Discrete variables can only have integers which means that there cannot be decimals in the number (3, 48, 2), for example the number of children someone has. The opposite of numerical is categorical, which are qualitative variables. When there is a natural order in those, you call them ordinal, for example pain scales. Nominal variables do not have such an order. Examples of this are marital status or presence of disease (0 is no and 1 is yes).
For continuous variables, perhaps the most important concepts to grasp are the three averages, the mean, the median and the mode. The mean is defined as the sum of all values in a particular set, divided by the number of values. The mean of 1, 2 and 3 is therefore 2. You can only use the mean in a (near) normal distribution, where the spread of data is approximately equal on both sides of the midpoint. Normal distributions have the classic bell shape. Having said that, not all data is normally distributed. Sometimes, the distribution is skewed. In this case, you should not use the mean but the median. It is the point which has half the values above, and half below. Furthermore, you can use the mode to describe data. This is the most common of a set of events. The mode is not often used.
Another important concept is the standard deviation (SD, σ). It indicates how data varies around a mean; it can therefore only be used in normal distributions. A high SD thus indicates high dispersal. 1 SD includes 68.2% of the data, 2 SD 95.4% and 3 SD 99.7%.
This then raises the question: how can you tell whether data is normally distributed? A histogram could be used, although this exclusively shows a normal distribution. It is also possible to make a Q-Q plot or do a statistical test (e.g. Shapiro-Wilk).
Let’s say you did an awesome study and found a mean. Hurray! However, how do you know whether your result is representative, or in other words, significant? You want to be confident about your result, and therefore a mean is generally given with a confidence interval, a range in which you can be fairly sure the true value lies. The true value is the mean of the entire population, but your study yielded a sample mean from a smaller group. Say you investigated a diet and measured weight loss. You found a mean of 4 kg weight loss with 95% CI [-2;6]. This means you are 95% sure the true mean difference lies between -2 kg and 6 kg. Moreover, as 0 is included in the interval, there can actually be a weight gain, and the diet may be ineffective. In other words: there is more than a 5% chance that there is no true change in weight.
A related concept is the P-value, or probability value. It is used to see how likely it is that a hypothesis is true. Usually, this is the null hypothesis: there is no difference between two groups, so the means are equal. If P = 0.5, it means that the chance of this result or a larger result happening is 50%, indicating that the result is not significant. A P-value smaller than 0.05 is generally accepted as showing a significant difference, yet the smaller the P-value, the better. This may seem small, but if 20 studies have a P-value of 0.05, one of those studies could show a result that actually is not true. If P < 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected and therefore, there is a difference.
The above-mentioned concepts are essential to all statistical tests. Each test is used for a different set of circumstances. There are a lot of different tests, and the details can be quite complicated. Luckily, when interpreting, it is generally sufficient to jump straight to the P-value to see whether you have a significant result. Parametric tests can only be used in normal distributions.
The prime example of a statistical test is the t-test. You can use this to see whether the mean of a population equals a certain value, or if the means of two populations are equal (e.g. comparing an old and a new treatment). It is possible to have a one-tailed or two-tailed t-test. Returning to the example, in the one-tailed version you expect the new treatment to be better than the old one, and in the two-tailed version you test that it can both be better or worse. Another subtype is the paired t-test, this you could use for instance, when you measure blood pressure with two devices on the same subject (and you can use the one- or two-tailed again here). The other important parametric test is the analysis of variance test (ANOVA), where you check whether sample means from different groups correspond to each other.
Non-parametric tests are used when the data is not normally distributed or the data is categorical. Therefore, you cannot use the mean but are confined to the median. The principle remains the same, however: looking for the P-value. The other tests are the Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon test, Kruskal-Willis and Friedman.
The Chi-Square test measures the difference between expected and actual frequencies, or the relationship between two categorical variables. The expected frequency is the frequency that holds when the null hypothesis were true. If the observed and expected frequencies are equal, the Chi value (X2) equals 0. The Chi value itself is not relevant when interpreting, just go to the P-value. It is used often in contingency tables. An example would be the relationship between marital status and eye colour. Fisher’s exact test is similar.
When there is a linear relationship between two variables, they are said to have a correlation, shown by correlation coefficient r. If there is a perfect relationship between two variables, r = 1. An r from 0.6 onwards is regarded as high correlation. In normal distributions, you use Pearson’s coefficient, otherwise the Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
A related concept is regression: how one set of data relates to another. A regression line is the line that fits bests through the data points on a graph, and the regression coefficient gives its gradient. The R2 value gives the amount of variation that is explained by the regression. An R2 of 0.81 shows that 81% of the change in A can be attributed to the change in B. In logistic regressions, each case can only belong to one of two groups (binomial), like having a disease or not. The outcome is the probability that a certain case belongs to one group and not the other. Risk scores are a good example here.
This aid should get you started in the field of most commonly used statistical concepts. If you really liked this article, don’t be sad! There is so much more to learn about, for example Kaplan-Meier curves, odds ratios, Bland-Altman plots, Cox regression models…

How often has your child said, “I don’t like math!” “I just don’t get math!” I can’t learn math!”
Compared to reading, parents are more tolerant of problems in math. But math is very important in children’s lives and future careers. Many of the fastest growing occupations require math through algebra and even calculus.
Math is the most cumulative subject in school. Therefore, if your special needs child falls behind, he is particularly prone to developing “gaps” in knowledge that will haunt him in future years.
Elementary teachers do a poor job of teaching math
Math is the most poorly taught subject in school, particularly in elementary school. Research has proven that elementary teachers are uncomfortable with math—not only with teaching math, but with using mathematical principles in their own lives. In fact, many elementary teachers suffer from math anxiety themselves. Therefore, most elementary teachers are not good influences on the mathematical learning and attitudes of their students.
The combination of a teacher’s poor understanding of mathematical concepts, inadequate knowledge of teaching methods in mathematics, and limited knowledge about modifying teaching approaches to reach learners with atypical learning profiles can create dismal results for special needs children.
Stress to your children the importance of mathematics in their lives and careers.
Jobs in science and technology require a strong knowledge of math, and play a vital role in the advancements that give us our standard of living. Students who understand mathematics have dramatically more career opportunities than students whose math abilities are weak.
The level of math sophistication is much greater for today’s students
Because the nature of math education has morphed dramatically since most parents went to school, often parents find themselves beginning to struggle with math concepts when their child reaches middle school.
If a special needs child has struggles with math, parents need to face the harsh truth that they may not stand in the ideal position to help their child themselves, particularly when math becomes conceptually difficult. Due to the history in the US of poor math teaching, parents may have limited knowledge of mathematics and may not appreciate the central role math plays in the lives of today’s citizens.
If you are finding that you do not completely understand the work your child is bringing home, you should bow out of the “direct teaching” role. Direct teaching involves explaining concepts and procedures to your child, much as a teacher or tutor would. If you don’t fully understand the math you are teaching your child, you and your child run the risk of ingraining inaccurate beliefs and inefficient habits that can take months to undo.
Math anxiety is rampant in the U.S.
Did you know that at least 66% of adults have strong negative feelings about math! This is largely due to poor teaching adults received in school. These negative feelings are easy to communicate to your child. When children feel negative about a school subject, they unconsciously engage in self-sabotaging behaviors such as tuning out in class, not doing their homework, not asking questions when they don’t understand, and not practicing the concepts and skills enough to make them automatic.
This starts a vicious cycle of failure…as the student “back away” from learning math, he or she begins to fall behind in learning, and this creates even more dislike and avoidance. Eventually, what’s called learned helplessness sets in.
This enemy robs a child of their power. This beast whispers in a child’s ear phrases such as “you’re stupid” “you’ll never learn this stuff” “who are you kidding, you don’t need this” and the ever-present “this is boring”
These self-destructive messages tear at a child’s resolve, limit what he or she can learn, and reduce future educational and career options.
If you have negative feelings about math, make a conscious effort to change these feelings, and encourage your children to feel positively about math. Praise your child’s efforts, especially when the going is tough.
Math has to “make sense” in order for your child to want to learn it
Students respond to a program that puts understanding and enjoyment into math. They benefit from meaningful learning experiences that overcome frustration with “math that just doesn’t make sense.” They learn concepts and computation more quickly from real life situations.
Show children how math is used in their lives.
At stores, have them develop mental arithmetic skills by adding up the cost of a few items, by estimating sales tax, or by figuring out the cost of one can of soda from the price of a six-pack.
Put some fun into math by playing games while riding in the car or standing in line. For “Guess My Secret Identity,” give your child clues such as, “When divided by three, I’m equal to your age,” or “If you add 22 to me, I’m the length of a football field.” Be playful and creative and have your child make up riddles for you to solve.
“Summing in all up”
Special needs kids want to succeed in life and their parents want to do everything possible to help them succeed. If you are among the majority of parents who have negative attitudes toward math, feel your math skills are inadequate, and express your feelings opening to your child, I urge you to make every effort to eliminate these tendencies from your parenting repertoire!
Even if you have, up until now, suffered from the power-robbing demon of math self-doubt, your children can learn math skills and can appreciate the wonderful role math plays in their lives. But they can’t do it without your support and encouragement!


The probability that both of them will say yes by chance is: Step 2: Find the probability that the advisors will both say yes by chance. Rater A said yes to 25/50 images, or 50% (0.5). Rater B said yes to 30/50 images or 60% (0.6). The overall probability of the spleens, both of whom say yes to random, is: 0.5 – 0.6 – 0.30. Another factor is the number of codes. As the number of codes increases, kappas become higher. Based on a simulation study, Bakeman and colleagues concluded that for fallible observers, Kappa values were lower when codes were lower. And in accordance with Sim-Wright`s claim on prevalence, kappas were higher than the codes were about equal. Thus Bakeman et al. concluded that no Kappa value could be considered universally acceptable. :357 They also provide a computer program that allows users to calculate values for Kappa that indicate the number of codes, their probability and the accuracy of the observer. If, for example, the codes and observers of the same probability, which are 85% accurate, are 0.49, 0.60, 0.66 and 0.69 if the number of codes 2, 3, 5 and 10 is 2, 3, 5 and 10. Using explicit models of rat decision-making, a valid random correction could perhaps be applied (Uebersax, 1987).
This would require both a theoretically acceptable model and sufficient data to empirically verify the compliance of the observed data with the model. In any event, this becomes an exercise in modelling of the failure agreements (Agresti, 1992; Uebersax, 1993) — instead of calculating a simple index. To calculate pe (the probability of a fortuitous agreement), we note that: It is clear that Se and Sp are very widespread and trustworthy clues, and if it was necessary to correct them on a case-by-case basis, this would have been mentioned a long time ago. There is simply no need and the same principle should apply to the measure of the agreement between two tests or advisors. A case that is sometimes considered a problem with Cohen`s Kappa occurs when comparing the Kappa, which was calculated for two pairs with the two advisors in each pair that have the same percentage of agreement, but one pair gives a similar number of reviews in each class, while the other pair gives a very different number of reviews in each class.  (In the following cases, the B grade has 70 jas and 30 no, in the first case, but these numbers are reversed.) For example, in the following two cases, there is an equal agreement between A and B (60 out of 100 in both cases) with respect to matching in each class, so we expect Cohens Kappa`s relative values to reflect that. However, Cohen Kappa`s calculation for everyone: Theoretically, if one could estimate how many agreements are produced by common councils, their effect could be removed to produce a more accurate measure of the “true” concordance. That`s what the kappa coefficient claims to do, but really doesn`t. First, we should ask ourselves what a chance agreement is.
This is a plausible view: if the spleens are uncertain as to the correct classification, a certain degree of conjecture may arise. The rate may be total (as in “I make a complete assumption here”) or partial (z.B. “My choice is partly based on conjecture”). If two advisors advise them both, they will sometimes agree. The question then is whether such agreements should be included in a statistical index of the agreement. Kappa is an index that takes into account the agreement observed with regard to a basic agreement.

We derive GAAP Net Income, Core Earnings, NOPAT, Invested Capital, Economic Earnings, and Free Cash Flow by summing the individual values for each company in the sector/industry.
We calculate ROIC and WACC as market-weighted values relative to each respective sector/industry. Details below:
- Company weight equals the company’s market cap divided by the market cap of the sector/industry.
- We multiply each company’s ROIC or WACC by its weight.
- The sector/industry ROIC and WACC equals the sum of the weighted ROIC or WACC for all the companies in the sector/industry.


Philonides (Greek: Φιλωνίδης, c. 200 – c. 130 BCE) of Laodicea in Syria, was an Epicurean philosopher and mathematician who lived in the Seleucid court during the reigns of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and Demetrius I Soter. He was renowned as a mathematician, and is mentioned by Apollonius of Perga in the preface to the second book of his Conics. Philonides was a zealous collector of the works of Epicurus and his colleagues, and is said to have published over 100 treatises, probably compilations of the works he collected.

Simple Plotting Tool
The purpose of SPT is to allow researchers to view raw data in a
graphical format. SPT can produce high-quality graphical displays
of data as .pdf, .ps and .png images. The goal is to encourage
better data analysis by providing a tool that enables data to be
easily viewed in a variety of different formats. SPT makes it easy
to create standard lines plots, scatter plots and bar charts. Using
SPT, it is also simple to create box plots, mean-value lines with
95% confidence intervals, and histograms to display distributions of
data. Additionally, SPT has support for displaying trees (a
standard data structure for many computer science applications).
Some features of SPT are:
- Many different types of plots, including:
- Scatter plots
- Scatter plots with labels and error bars
- Lines plots
- Lines plots with error bars showing 95% confidence
- Bubble plots
- Cumulative density functions
- Heat maps
- Box plots with 95% confidence intervals
- Stacked Barcharts
- Fanned Barcharts
- Grouped nominal plots (bar charts and boxplots)
- Sunburst trees diagrams (library version only)
- Arbitrary single variable functions (library version only)
- A simple graphical user interface for viewing plots
- Intelligent tick-mark placement
- Data is never obstructed by an axis (uses proper padding)
- Performs some simple data analysis (confidence intervals, box
statistics, histogram binning, etc.)
- An Objective Caml library interface
- A simple lisp-inspired plotting language
- Generates: .ps, .pdf or .png images
SPT is available either as a
library for the Objective Caml
language or as a binary which reads a simple (lisp-inspired)
plotting language. Future releases are expected to have bindings
allowing library access via C or C++ programs.

Robustness in Statistics contains the proceedings of a Workshop on Robustness in Statistics held on April 11-12, 1978, at the Army Research Office in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The papers review the state of the art in statistical robustness and cover topics ranging from robust estimation to the robustness of residual displays and robust smoothing. The application of robust regression to trajectory data reduction is also discussed.Comprised of 14 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to robust estimation, paying particular attention to iteration schemes and error structure of estimators. Sensitivity and influence curves as well as their connection with jackknife estimates are described. The reader is then introduced to a simple analog of trimmed means that can be used for studying residuals from a robust point-of-view; a class of robust estimators (called P-estimators) based on the location and scale-invariant Pitman estimators of location; and robust estimation in the presence of outliers. Subsequent chapters deal with robust regression and its use to reduce trajectory data; tests for censoring of extreme values, especially when population distributions are incompletely defined; and robust estimation for time series autoregressions.This monograph should be of interest to mathematicians and statisticians.

Right here’s a simple-sounding drawback: Think about a round fence that encloses one acre of grass. When you tie a goat to the within of the fence, how lengthy a rope do you’ll want to permit the animal entry to precisely half an acre?
It appears like highschool geometry, however mathematicians and math fanatics have been pondering this drawback in numerous types for greater than 270 years. And whereas they’ve efficiently solved some variations, the goat-in-a-circle puzzle has refused to yield something however fuzzy, incomplete solutions.
Even in spite of everything this time, “nobody knows an exact answer to the basic original problem,” stated Mark Meyerson, an emeritus mathematician on the US Naval Academy. “The solution is only given approximately.”
However earlier this 12 months, a German mathematician named Ingo Ullisch finally made progress, discovering what is taken into account the primary precise resolution to the issue—though even that is available in an unwieldy, reader-unfriendly type.
“This is the first explicit expression that I’m aware of [for the length of the rope],” stated Michael Harrison, a mathematician at Carnegie Mellon College. “It certainly is an advance.”
After all, it gained’t upend textbooks or revolutionize math analysis, Ullisch concedes, as a result of this drawback is an remoted one. “It’s not connected to other problems or embedded within a mathematical theory.” Nevertheless it’s doable for even enjoyable puzzles like this to offer rise to new mathematical concepts and assist researchers give you novel approaches to different issues.
Into (and Out of) the Barnyard
The primary drawback of this sort was printed within the 1748 subject of the London-based periodical The Girls Diary: Or, The Lady’s Almanack—a publication that promised to current “new improvements in arts and sciences, and many diverting particulars.”
The unique situation entails “a horse tied to feed in a Gentlemen’s Park.” On this case, the horse is tied to the skin of a round fence. If the size of the rope is similar because the circumference of the fence, what’s the most space upon which the horse can feed? This model was subsequently categorised as an “exterior problem,” because it involved grazing exterior, reasonably than inside, the circle.
A solution appeared within the Diary’s 1749 version. It was furnished by “Mr. Heath,” who relied upon “trial and a table of logarithms,” amongst different sources, to succeed in his conclusion.
Heath’s reply—76,257.86 sq. yards for a 160-yard rope—was an approximation reasonably than an actual resolution. For instance the distinction, contemplate the equation x2 − 2 = zero. One may derive an approximate numerical reply, x = 1.4142, however that’s not as correct or satisfying as the precise resolution, x = √2.
The issue reemerged in 1894 within the first subject of the American Mathematical Month-to-month, recast because the preliminary grazer-in-a-fence drawback (this time with none reference to livestock). This sort is classed as an inside drawback and tends to be tougher than its exterior counterpart, Ullisch defined. Within the exterior drawback, you begin with the radius of the circle and size of the rope and compute the world. You’ll be able to resolve it by means of integration.
“Reversing this procedure—starting with a given area and asking which inputs result in this area—is much more involved,” Ullisch stated.
Within the a long time that adopted, the Month-to-month printed variations on the inside drawback, which primarily concerned horses (and in no less than one case a mule) reasonably than goats, with fences that have been round, sq., and elliptical in form. However within the 1960s, for mysterious causes, goats began displacing horses within the grazing-problem literature—this even supposing goats, in keeping with the mathematician Marshall Fraser, could also be “too independent to submit to tethering.”
Goats in Larger Dimensions
In 1984, Fraser obtained artistic, taking the issue out of the flat, pastoral realm and into extra expansive terrain. He worked out how lengthy a rope is required to permit a goat to graze in precisely half the amount of an n-dimensional sphere as n goes to infinity. Meyerson noticed a logical flaw within the argument and corrected Fraser’s mistake later that 12 months, however reached the identical conclusion: As n approaches infinity, the ratio of the tethering rope to the sphere’s radius approaches √2.


Sounds like a simple question, right? Simple question = simple answer, right? All you have to do is measure it. But, it’s possible that we take the simple practice of measurement for granted. Imagine a world without it. No distance, no time, no weight, no mass. Not so simple now, you might be saying.
If you’re in the North Texas area and have an hour to spare, tune in tonight at 9:00pm on KERA Channel 13 in North Texas for How Long is a Piece of String? to begin to answer that all-important question that’s been haunting you ever since high school physics. Host, Alan Davies (Whites, Jonathan Creek, QI) attempts to find out the elusive answer to just how long a piece of string really is. In the process, he encounters both the history and current understanding of measurement – a journey that takes him from the maths used to measure the extent of the visible universe right down to the physics of the smallest particles of matter – the quantum world.
MIT physicist Seth Loyd guides Davies through the world of the sub-atomic; Oxford University maths professor Marcus du Sautoy provides the mathematical tools to make the measurements; and high school physics teacher Dr Becky Parker opens Alan’s eyes to the bizarre and counter-intuitive world of the atom.
Given his findings, Davies discovers that his ‘piece of string’ is fractal – made up of endless chains of self repeating patterns – and is therefore infinitely long. Outside the North Texas area? Get out that piece of string and watch the episode below…..this is what television was created for.

A calculator is necessary for solving various mathematic problems, being used by both professionals and students. However, with a wide selection of products offering different functions, knowing what the best calculator is for your needs can be rather difficult.
Check out this handy buying guide for all the info you need:
What are calculators?
A calculator is a small electronic device used to make calculations. This can vary from basic arithmetic to complex mathematics, resulting in a wide range of devices designed for specific functions.
Why should you buy a good calculator?
The best calculators make it much easier to perform both basic and complex calculations, making them an incredible useful device for many. For instance, students studying maths at any level with need a suitable calculator, while others use them for making quick and accurate calculations to help with work, budgeting, etc.
How to choose the right calculator?
Choosing the right calculator isn’t always easy, so it helps to know what you need from the device. Here are some things to consider:
- Purpose: One of the easiest ways to find a suitable calculator is to consider why you need it. For instance, if you have an exam or coursework to study, then you will likely need a scientific or graphing calculator. Those that need one for doing arithmetic should be fine with a more basic handheld calculator, while anyone that needs a calculator for their business may benefit from financial calculators that print off documents.
- Budget: Advanced calculators that offer a range of functions tend to cost a lot more than a basic pocket calculator, so it may help to set yourself a budget. Graphing calculators in particular are rather expensive but may be necessary, so it’s often a good idea to shop around for the best deal possible. Consider buying second hand if you are on a tight budget.
- Power Source: Many great calculators don’t come with batteries, rather using solar power to operate. While this is environmentally friendly and much cheaper, it can be unreliable in some cases. This isn’t much of a problem for most users, but anyone buying a calculator for an exam should consider a device with a backup battery to ensure it doesn’t die when they need it most!
What is the best kind of calculator?
There are many types of calculators to choose from, all of which serve various purposes. Some of the most widely used calculators include:
- Handheld Calculator: The standard calculator that most are familiar with, they come with basic functions that allow the user to add, multiply, subtract, and divide. They can vary in size while some include additional functions such as calculating square roots.
- Scientific Calculator: Scientific calculators can do a variety of calculations, including statistics, algebra, conversions, and many other mathematical equations. This type of calculator is the most widely used type among students and professionals working in various fields that need to solve complex calculations.
- Graph Calculator: The most advanced type of calculator, graph calculators come with an incredible range of functions. They include lager screens for displaying graphs, formulas and equations, and are designed for use in advanced maths and science courses, along with professionals working in engineering and science fields. Because of their advanced technology, graph calculators aren’t the cheapest to buy.
- Financial Calculator: The best calculators for running small businesses, they are designed to quickly process data and provide results that are easy to understand. Their functions are based around calculating finances, such as net spend, cost sell margins, etc. Both students and professionals working/studying in financial fields require this type of calculator.

Located in Denver, Colorado, Mathematics and Science Leadership Academy, is a Denver County school. It has 200 students and 15 teachers and serves grades K-5.
This school performs slightly below average when compared to other Colorado schools. Mathematics and Science Leadership Academy received an overall grade of C from The School Review. When compared to other elementary schools, the school ranks 644 for Colorado and 51 in Denver County.
For our grading we use data provided by the schools to the U.S. Department of Education. These data are analyzed to calculate a grade for safety, academics and learning environment for each school. The overall grade is then computed through a weighted aggregation of those scores. If you would like to know more about how our grading system works, please visit our methodology page.
The academic score for a school is calculated by comparing a number of factors, such as student results on Colorado standardized tests. For academics, Mathematics and Science Leadership Academy performs slightly below average when compared to other elementary schools in Colorado and earned the grade of C for this measure.
The learning environment at a school is estimated by comparing a variety of factors such as teacher certification rates, student attendance and percentage of novice teachers. For learning environment, Mathematics and Science Leadership Academy performs below average when compared to other elementary schools in Colorado and received the grade of D for this measure.
A school’s safety grade is determined by inspecting data such as a suspension rates and physical altercations. Due to incomplete data the safety grade was not able to be determined for this school.
Basic student body information from Mathematics and Science Leadership Academy can be seen below. A school’s demographics play no part in determining its score.
Below are elementary schools near Mathematics and Science Leadership Academy. The School Review's grade for each school is shown for easy comparison. If you would like a complete list of local schools, visit the Denver, Colorado schools page.
|School||Overall Grade||Academic Results||Learning Enviroment||School Safety|
|1||Valverde Elementary School||C-||C-||C-||B-|
|2||Goldrick Elementary School||C-||D||D||B-|
|3||Rocky Mountain Prep: Southwest||C-||C+||D||B+|
|4||Munroe Elementary School||C-||C-||D||C+|
|5||Barnum Elementary School||C-||D||D||A-|
At the time we collected data, these were the answers to common questions about the school.
We rank elementary schools across three criteria: Academics, Learning Environment, and Safety. We assess Academics using statewide standardized test scores, by comparing each school’s test performance to the distribution of elementary schools on the same test in the state. We then compute overall achievement by averaging a school’s standardized performance across subjects and years. We evaluate a school’s Learning Environment by combining various classroom indicators, such as the ratio of teachers to students and the percent of teachers who are novice, uncertified, or chronically absent. Finally, we measure the Safety of an elementary school from the percent of students receiving in-school and out-of-school suspensions and the reported incidents of physical altercations per 100 students. While we recognize any ranking metric is inherently subjective, we believe our grades can serve as a valuable resource to help students and parents compare neighborhood schools and find the best school to fit their desired educational needs.


Q. So how much is it if I bring 3 players?
$50 per hour (or $16.67 per person per hour)
Q. Okay, well how much is it if I bring 10 players?
$50 per hour (or $5.00 per person per hour)
Q. What about if I bring 15 people
$50 per hour ($3.34 per person per hour, but only 10 can play at a time)
This means that if everyone plays for the same amount of time
Everyone will play for 40 minutes
(3 rounds of 20 minutes each or 6 rounds of 10 minutes each)
Q. What is included
All Equipment is included with the price. This includes 10 Bows, Arrows, 12 Protective Masks, and Arm Guards


I just came across the Drake equation which attempts to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy with which we might come in contact. The thing that gets me is how low the answer is! Even if you put high estimates into the equation the answer come out in the 1000’s. That’s a thousand odd civilizations in our entire galaxy! I do think there is intelligent life out there but going by these sorts of estimates we are so amazingly far away from contacting them that we can forget about it for a long long time!


Parametric design 2014 - 2015 - 2016
Description: When it comes to this algorithm - the story is simple. Instead of using one or a few attractor points to create our creative pattern, this one uses a curve (or a line so to speak), which in fact is just an "unlimited" number of points on a path defined by its beginning and the end. One of my favorite codes by far.

Vernon Hills business aims to help build math fluency
Vernon Hills-based ETA hand2mind has announced a new partnership with DonorsChoose.org to help young learners around the country build the math skills necessary to prepare them for the jobs of the future.
The company is committed to matching the generous donations used to fund teacher requests on DonorsChoose.org of up to $100,000 for its innovative Daily Math Fluency solution for grades K-5.
Closing the skills gap in math is critical to both students' success in life and the growth of our national economy. Results from the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress revealed that students have seen little to no gains in math since 2015.
ETA hand2mind created Daily Math Fluency to help teachers around the country improve and accelerate math skill development for millions of young learners, preparing them for success in college, our evolving workforce and life.
Launched earlier in 2018, Daily Math Fluency provides K-5 teachers with hands-on learning resources to help their students develop an understanding of basic math facts. The activities in the kits are designed using visual models and manipulatives to support classroom math curriculum without cutting into instructional time.
"At ETA hand2mind, we believe that engaging, hands-on activities will put young learners on the path to becoming mathematical thinkers," said Bill Chiasson, president of ETA hand2mind.
"With DonorsChoose.org as our partner, we now have the opportunity to empower even more elementary teachers across the country to positively impact the lives of students every day."
"Partnering with organizations such as ETA hand2mind allows DonorsChoose.org to put resources in the hands of teachers across the country," said Vashti Barran, partnerships manager at DonorsChoose.org.
"DonorsChoose.org Daily Math Fluency projects will support teachers with resources for accelerating the development of foundational math skills in their classrooms."
Elementary teachers who wish to submit a project requesting Daily Math Fluency for their classrooms will find the kits on DonorsChoose.org through the Amazon Business link. For more information, visit hand2mind.com/fluency.


A new series on a fundamental progress prerequisite
I am very interested in the following problem.
Suppose I have a practical problem in my business. How do I discover the right mathematical branches/theorems/concepts/models relevant to my practical problem?
There is no natural mapping among the vocabulary of my hypothetical practical problem and the vocabulary used to name mathematical concepts (usually combinations of names of prominent mathematicians).
A lot depends on what you want to measure. If you want to measure the pervasiveness of mathematics in the economy, you'll notice that it has been soaring. Someone has to develop the algorithms that control automobile engines, delivery scheduling, industrial processes, farm machinery and so on.
Something like a thermostat was high tech in its day, but optimally using a thermostat to control a coking oven was high tech in its day. It ended the expensive batch processing of coke and allowed continuous production. Back in the days of the USSR, mathematicians like Kolmogorov did theoretical work, but he also worked on problems in lubrication. It was considered remarkable at the time, but no one remarks nowadays when disposable diaper companies hire mathematicians.
You can try measuring mathematical progress in some abstract sense of advancing, but one problem with mathematics is that one often doesn't know whether one is advancing or not. Mathematicians do all sorts of mathematics for the beauty of it, and only centuries later does their work turn out to be useful in proving some intractable theorem or solving an applied problem.
Excellent subject. From a non-mathematician perspective, I put together this series of four essays on the importance of math to civilizational progress throughout history, if anyone’s interested:
I can hypothesize the decline in Math PhDs:
Goldman Sachs will pay in the high six figures for a couple of years of grad school, escalating quickly into seven figures if you're good. Hanging around for a PhD is deadweight loss opportunity cost. Maybe have a look at the number of grad students or MAs in Math?
Also, if you're just looking at Pure Math, you're missing much of the picture. When I was in grad school in the '70s, Applied Math and Stats and Comp Sci were for your idiot cousin who couldn't cut it in Real Math. Data Analysis, Financial Math, Computational/Applied Economics, Computational Physics, didn't exist in the sense they do now.
Of course, those things reinforce the idea that Pure Math may be in decline: People with strong quantitative abilities have a lot more career paths than proving ever-more-esoteric theorems.
tell people that when I started grad school, there were three things you could do with a Math degree: actuary, NSA, academic. None of those appealed to me, so I ditched Math for Business School. What they did with Math was appalling, but it's given me a comfortable retirement.
On the other hand, if I'd hung on in Math for another couple of years, I could have been one of the first quants and retired with a fortune at age 30.
Do you really consider Space Travel a mathematical problem on par with Cryptography and machine learning?

Spherical functions and their normalisations
In geomagnetics, it is usual to describe the geomagnetic scalar potential
V as a series expansion of orthogonal spherical functions. These take
where RE is the mean radius of the Earth (6371.2 km),
r is the radial distance from the center of the Earth, phi is the
east longitude measured from Greenwich, theta is the geocentric
colatitude, and Pnm is the associated Legendre
function of degree n and order m. These associated Legendre functions can be
normalized, as is described in the following paragraphs.
The notation we use here for indicating the different normalisations are in
accordance with Chapman and Bartels, 1940.
Legendre functions Pn(x)
The Legendre functions are solutions of the following second degree
The general solution of this differential equation, disregarding the solutions
with n negative is given by:
In this expression, the constant Kn is arbitrary. Usually,
the Legendre polynomial is normalized by imposing that Pn (1) = 1.
This results in the following expression:
wich is called Rodrigues' formula for the Legendre polynomials.
Associated Legendre functions Pn,m(x)
The associated Legendre functions are the solutions of the associated
Legendre differential equation:
It is straightforward to verify that if y is a solution of the Legendre
differential equation, (1- x2)m/2
(d/dx)my is a solution of the associated
equation. We shall define, for positive integral m:
Pn,m is called an associated Legendre function. The second
solution of the differential equation, written Qn,m(x)
, is singular at x = 1 and -1 and will not concern us further.
The functions, used with the "normal" normalisation constant
Kn = 1/2n, were used by Neumann and Maxwell.
Gauss normalized associated Legendre functions
Gauss and Laplace used functions with a Kn-value:
where in the notation (2n -1)!! = 1.3.5...(2n - 1) , as introduced by
Schuster by analogy with n!, and thus:
This is also the normalisation that is used in the model of
Jensen and Cain (1962).
Schmidt quasi-normalized associated Legendre
Schmidt (1935) introduced the following
This makes the associated Legendre functions:
This form is used most in geomagnetic data, as it is the form which is used in
the International Geomagnetic Reference
Peddie, 1982 and Langel, 1987). This normalisation
was introduced because it leaves the sum:
invariant under an arbitrary rotation of the (theta,phi) coordinate
system in the description of the scalar potential, and thus of the magnetic
Schmidt normalized associated Legendre functions Rnm(x)
The Schmidt quasi-normalized associated Legendre functions are not
completely normalized harmonics, in the sense that the average square value of
Pnm cos (m phi) or
Pnm sin (m phi) over the sphere is not equal
to 1. Schmidt introduced the functions:
which are totally normalized. They were used for a time by Schuster, but were
given up later for use in geomagnetic models. However, they are in common use
in gravitational models.

There is an improved temporal downscaling procedure for estimating the final daily CHIRPS. The previous daily data will be supported through the end of 2015. Since CHIRPS pentads and monthly remain unchanged there will be no change in the CHIRPS version number. This is not a new version of CHIRPS, it is an improvement on the temporal downscaling to daily estimates. The Problem: When temporally downscaling CHIRPS to daily maps, there are many locations with significant residuals. (Residual here is the difference between monthly CHIRPS and the sum of daily CHIRPS for that month) In fact for over 80 percent of the locations with residuals, the residual was 100 percent of the monthly CHIRPS. These are places where the daily CCD fails, often due to warm precipitation. The Solution: Add an extra step to distribute the monthly precipitation to across days in the month only for pixels where the monthly residual is > 1 mm. The first challenge was to decide the appropriate number of days of precipitation for a given month. We used the locations with zero residual to derive a relationship between total monthly CHIRPS and number of rain days. Now, using the total residual and number of rain days, we use the highest N values of daily CHIRP for the month to proportionally distribute the monthly total across those days.

Monte Carlo Analysis (without macros) Excel Model. A traditional sensitivity analysis involves testing a limited number of scenarios (e.g. base, upside and downside). Each scenario is a set of predefined inputs. This approach shows the outcomes of the model at various perspectives, but does not give a precise likelihood of a particular result. Cholesky decomposition or factorization is a powerful numerical optimization technique that is widely used in linear algebra.

As many of you may (or may not) know, I have an exhibit on Governors Island in New York Harbor that will be on view until the end of September. For those of you not familiar with Governors Island, it was originally the home of the governor of NY when it was still a colony; in its 200+ year history it has been an army base, jail for Confederate soldiers and, from 1966 – 96, a Coast Guard base that housed approximately 3,500 soldiers and their families. Now under the ownership of the City of New York, it has become a multi-purpose space for arts and recreation.
In January, I applied to the Trust for Governors Island to obtain a space to install my exhibit, Mü-Math: The Mobile Unit to Promote Mathematical Thinking on Governors Island from Memorial Day to September 30th, when Governors Island will be closed to the public until the following spring. The exhibit is housed in a building that used to be apartment housing for soldiers with families: by New York City standards it is quite spacious, with two bedrooms, a large kitchen and living room.
The exhibit has about 10 different activities which are notable in that they are more like puzzles than the math you would find in a textbook, yet each is linked to powerful ideas about the nature of mathematical thinking. For example,the idea of algebra as pattern detection, interpolation and extrapolation is conveyed using a set of subway cars that show a number progression. Each week I try to add a new activity to spice things up; the latest idea, “Align the Avenues,” actually came from a visitor who presented me with a puzzle where the numbers 1 – 8 had to be put into a grid so that no two consecutive numbers would touch on the top, bottom, sides, or diagonals. I re-cast the numbers as “avenues” and turned the grid into the “Welcome to ______” road signs that greet drivers on our various highways and bridges, so that it now looks like this:
Unfortunately, as I write this, I realize that the directions don’t specify the sides as well, but that can easily be corrected in the final version. Yes, I know the “solution” on the right is incorrect, but if you do decide to solve this on your own, please look at the solution carefully. There is real elegance to where certain numbers are placed, and it begins by thinking about which numbers have the fewest “neighbors” and how that should influence their placement. The solution also has an interesting train of logic that one must follow, because one “clue” leads to another, which leads to another, which finally solves the puzzle. As in any great puzzle, there are multiple solutions, but they all follow the same kind of internal logic.
Of course, if you’re hosting an exhibit on mathematics and problem solving which incorporates puzzles, you’re going to attract a certain number of “wise guys.” Here’s one that a character sprang on me (and a roomful of visitors) a few weeks back. He claimed to have invented it and uses it as a “test” to figure out whether one has the skills to be a leader. I flunked it with flying colors, so maybe my future is limited to being a self-described cognitive artist.


This widespread adoption of mathematics has been highlighted in several recent articles and books in the popular press where reports of successful applications of formal modeling and mathematical analysis are recounted. In 2006, Business Week proclaimed “Math will Rock Your World,” and more recently, in August this year, the New York Times played with a line from the movie, The Graduate, and ran an article titled “For Today’s Graduate, Just One Word: Statistics (So Much for Plastics).” Other publications, including popular books such as Numerati by Stephen Baker and Yield Management by Andrew Boyd offer further testimony of the success firms are enjoying.
This use of modeling and mathematical analysis for business application is known by a variety of names including operations research, management science, decision science, and more recently, applied analytics.
Regardless of what it is called, the accolades keep rolling in from diverse business sectors including hospitality, retailing, health care, manufacturing, sports, entertainment, and more. For example, Marriott International recently reported on the use of a pricing model they credit for increasing their revenue by at least $46 million annually since 2006. This model leverages methodologies pioneered in the airline industry to help Marriott understand how to price rooms for group customers in light alternative uses and uncertain demand. Zara, a leading fashion retailer, credits their inventory distribution model for yielding an increase in revenue of more than $230 million in 2007 and 2008. Hewlett-Packard reports that a suite of models for managing product variety and revenue management led to more than $500 million in profit improvements across several business units since 2005. Other companies using these types of applications include Xerox, Coca Cola, and Swift & Company. Collectively these success stories serve as models and motivators for other companies to emulate.
A leading Colorado company, OptTek, Inc., has developed a mathematical system designed to assist in strategic workforce planning. Their approach employs the latest in simulation and optimization technology molded together into a model intended to support high-level HR planning. Early testing in several large firms shows great promise for improved performance in terms of cost and business goals pertaining to workforce composition.
The applications mentioned above all report substantial monetary improvements. Other applications, however, stand out for their significant improvements in health care delivery and other socially desirable outcomes. For example, Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center reports the use of formal modeling and mathematical analysis to assist in determining optimal treatment plans for branchy therapy patients. This award winning work improves the placement of radioactive seeds employed to treat prostate cancer and has led to significant cost savings, improved medical outcomes and lives saved.
While many of the recent headlines regarding modeling and mathematics come from large companies, small- to medium-sized companies are turning to mathematics for assistance as well. Often these applications go unreported in a formal sense but success stories are starting to be told, further adding to a growing understanding of the potential role of modeling and mathematics in business today.
This recent broad scale adoption of modeling and mathematics by the business community can be explained by the coming together of several important factors such as the availability of inexpensive, powerful computers, the availability of well-designed software, and the growing awareness of success stories motivating others to follow suit. Top business schools around the world offer MBAs with classes on model-assisted decision making methodologies. These schools are putting graduates into every conceivable industry with an understanding of what can be done, with an appetite for trying. For instance, MBA students at the University of Colorado Denver take a required course focusing on modeling and solving business problems using modern mathematical methods. All this bodes well for the future expansion of the business use of modeling and mathematics. This is particularly true for the small- to medium-sized companies who commonly employ graduates locally.
Is math the new cool? Actually yes… and firms taking advantage of what math and modeling have to offer have the results to prove it.
