“The Arrow impossibility theorem and its implications for voting and elections” Arrow’s impossibility theorem represents a fascinating problem in the philosophy of economics‚ widely discussed for insinuating doubt on commonly accepted beliefs towards collective decision making procedures. This essay will introduce its fundamental assumptions‚ explain its meaning‚ explore some of the solutions available to escape its predictions and finally discuss its implications for political

Bernoulli’s theorem i Bernoulli’s theorem‚ in fluid dynamics‚ relation among the pressure‚ velocity‚ and elevation in a moving fluid (liquid or gas)‚ the compressibility and viscosity (internal friction) of which are negligible and the flow of which is steady‚ or laminar. First derived (1738) by the Swiss mathematicianDaniel Bernoulli‚ the theorem states‚ in effect‚ that the total mechanical energy of the flowing fluid‚ comprising the energy associated with fluid pressure‚ the gravitational potential

45 mph‚ there is a speed limit sign stating the maximum speed is 35 mph‚ you continue to drive 45mph; boom‚ a cops pulls you over. Now you have a speeding ticket. Have you ever wondered the reasons to why we have speed limits? Speed limits are here not just to tell us how to drive‚ but to help maintain a safe driving environment for you as well as others drivers and pedestrians around you. I believe speed limitations are needed. Safety first is always the case. Speed limits help avoid accidents. Most

a NOR gate. DeMorgan’s theorems state the same equivalence in "backward" form: that inverting the output of any gate results in the same function as the opposite type of gate (AND vs. OR) with inverted inputs De Morgan’s theorem is used to simplify a lot expression of complicated logic gates. For example‚ (A + (BC)’)’. The parentheses symbol is used in the example. _ The answer is A BC. Let’s apply the principles of DeMorgan’s theorems to the simplification of

Limit at infinity The function has the limit as increases without bound (or‚ asapproaches infinity)‚ written if can be made arbitrarily close to by taking large enough. Similarly‚ the function has the limit as decreases without bound (or‚ asapproaches negative infinity)‚ written if can be made arbitrarily close to by taking to be negative and sufficiently large in absolute value. One-sided limits The function has the right-hand limit as approaches from the right written if the

A Brief History of the Pythagorean Theorem Just Who Was This Pythagoras‚ Anyway? Pythagoras (569-500 B.C.E.) was born on the island of Samos in Greece‚ and did much traveling through Egypt‚ learning‚ among other things‚ mathematics. Not much more is known of his early years. Pythagoras gained his famous status by founding a group‚ the Brotherhood of Pythagoreans‚ which was devoted to the study of mathematics. The group was almost cult-like in that it had symbols‚ rituals and prayers. In addition

LIMITS AND CONTINUITY 1. The concept of limit x2 − 4 . Examine the behavior of f (x) as x approaches 2. Example 1.1. Let f (x) = x−2 Solution. Let us compute some values of f (x) for x close to 2‚ as in the tables below. We see from the first table that f (x) is getting closer and closer to 4 as x approaches 2 from the left side. We express this by saying that “the limit of f (x) as x approaches 2 from left is 4”‚ and write x→2− lim f (x) = 4. Similarly‚ by looking at the second table

primality test and cyclotomic AKS test) is a deterministic primality-proving algorithm created and published by Manindra Agrawal‚ Neeraj Kayal‚ and Nitin Saxena‚ computer scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur‚ on August 6‚ 2002‚ in a paper titled "PRIMES is in P".[1] The authors received many accolades‚ including the 2006 Gödel Prize and the 2006 Fulkerson Prize‚ for this work. The algorithm determines whether a number is prime or composite within polynomial time. Contents

Describe the role of courts in the criminal justice process. The courts serve as the venue where disputes are then settled and justice is administered. In Australian courts the adversarial system of trial is used to determine guilt‚ this is two sides‚ one representing the accused the other the state‚ debate over the guilt of the accused; this is mediated by a neutral third party‚ the judge or magistrate. Guilt is determined by the judge‚ magistrate or a jury. Punishment for the accused if found

THE WIZARD OF OZ 2 The Wizard of Oz Scarecrow’s Speech on Pythagorean Theorem The Pythagorean theorem is one of the earliest theorems known to ancient civilization. The well-known theorem is named after the Greek mathematician and philosopher‚ Pythagoras. In the Wizard of Oz‚ after the Scarecrow gets a brain‚ he states the Pythagorean theorem. However‚ he mistakenly says it applies to an isosceles triangle when it applies to a right triangle. He not only says the wrong triangle
