Philosophy is an Academic discipline that exercises reason and logic in an attempt to understand reality and answer fundamental questions about knowledge‚ life‚ morality and human nature. Philosophy is the root of all knowledge. It is considered as mother of all sciences. Philosophy helps to coordinate the various activities of individual and the society. It helps to understand the significance of all human experiences. Philosophy develops a comprehensive system of thoughts about the universe and

First we are presented with the Continental philosophy and within it contain some other philosophical thoughts. Some of the other philosophical thoughts include existentialism and phenomenology. An existentialist can and “do not guarantee that this existential predicament‚ as it might be called‚ can be solved.” (Moore & Bruder‚ 2011) What this means is that there is no answer to the existence of life and that a person cannot find value or meaning with in it. “In brief‚ phenomenology interests

C OORDINATE GEOMETRY COORDINATE GEOMETRY 155 7 7.1 Introduction In Class IX‚ you have studied that to locate the position of a point on a plane‚ we require a pair of coordinate axes. The distance of a point from the y-axis is called its x-coordinate‚ or abscissa. The distance of a point from the x-axis is called its y-coordinate‚ or ordinate. The coordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x‚ 0)‚ and of a point on the y-axis are of the form (0‚ y). Here is a play for you. Draw a set

Coordinate geometry The Basics: Find the distance between two points using Pythagoras’ theorem. The midpoint is the average (mean) of the coordinates. The gradient = Parallel lines have the same gradient. The gradients of perpendicular lines have a product of -1. Straight Lines: Equation of a straight line is y = mx + c‚ where m = gradient‚ c = y-intercept. The equation of a line‚ if we know one point and the gradient is found using: (y - y1) = m(x - x1) (If given two points‚ find the

describe the historical development‚ key contributors‚ and principle issues of pragmatism‚ analytic philosophy‚ and the Philosophy of Mind. Pragmatism Analytic Philosophy Philosophy of Mind Historical Development Began with the rejection of the existence of a “fixed‚ absolute truth”. Then proceeded with the postulate that truth is relative to space and time. 1) Kant’s philosophy was a precursor to Analytic philosophy with his proposition that knowledge is possible if we focus on things we can experience

In comparing the use of information technology versus random patrol‚ I see it this way. Initially‚ the random patrol was implemented in an effort to deter crime. If an officer is able to make their rounds in an unpredictable pattern‚ the threat of crime should be reduced. COMPSTAT is a tool available to the officer to give direction (or emphasis) to their patrol. Assimilating available intelligence is labor-intensive and time-consuming. With the advent of COMPSTAT‚ the officer now has timely

WHITE PAPER Predictive analytics The rise and value of predictive analytics in enterprise decision making “Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand‚ and I can move the Earth.” Archimedes‚ 250 B.C. In the past few years‚ predictive analytics has gone from an exotic technique practiced in just a few niches‚ to a competitive weapon with a rapidly expanding range of uses. The increasing adoption of predictive analytics is fueled by converging trends: the Big Data phenomenon‚ ever-improving

Predictive Policing Compare and contrast the application of information technology (IT) to optimize police departments’ performance to reduce crime versus random patrols of the streets. A comparison and contrast of the application of information technology to optimize police performance versus an unaided and random effort at patrolling the streets would mostly reveal the benefits to an IT supported approach as opposed to an unsupported approach. When comparing the two

In the early 1800s to1980s‚ patrolling and investigating were the traditional methods that the police force were using to implement crime fighting. Uniformed police officers would patrol the streets to prevent crimes that were in progress and to catch criminals. However‚ researches since the 1960s has shown the limits of both patrolling and investigating for reducing crimes. This method did not show any effectiveness on crime preventions and reducing criminal activities. Police patrolling still
