MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES (SIR MODEL) Infectious diseases continue to claim the top spot for morbidity and mortality worldwide‚ with an estimated of 10% of all deaths each year to have been caused by HIV‚ tuberculosis and malaria. Infectious diseases have remained the major cause of suffering and mortality in developing countries‚ perhaps due to the fact that the aftermath of natural disasters often involve the outbreaks of infectious diseases. It is no wonder that the topic

Mathematical Aptitude and a Successful Life! As a thinker‚ I have many different skills‚ but the most important aptitude that contributes to my successful life is mathematical. First of all‚ mathematic has helped me a lot in my home life. For example‚ last year when my uncle bought a house‚ I helped him to minimize the cost of rebuilding the floors. Although he wanted to make the floors by wood‚ he did not know how many box of wood he should buy because the floors did not have any particular shape

that the option sells for 1.20 at time zero. Consider an agent who begins with wealth X0 = 0 and at time zero buys ∆0 shares of stock and Γ0 options. The numbers ∆0 and Γ0 can be either positive or negative or zero. This leaves the agent with a cash position of −4∆0 − 1.20Γ0 . If this is positive‚ it is invested in the money market; if it is negative‚ it represents money borrowed from the money market. At time one‚ the value of the agent’s portfolio

The Value of Homework for Mathematical Success Erik M. Andersen University of Colorado at Denver Abstract The questions studied in this paper revolve around homework and if the quantity or the content of homework assignments relate to proficiency in an Algebraic unit on Functions. A study was performed on 18 similar ability high school students. The students were divided into four different homework groups and their pre and post-test test scores were compared to see if there was

For this assignment I will describe two theories of mathematical development. I will discuss Jean Piaget’s and Tina Bruce’s theories about how children’s understandings of mathematical develop. Jean Piaget’s research led him to believe that we develop by taking in information‚ which is then processed by the brain and as a result of this our behaviour changes. He stated that there are stages of development that children move through. The ages are approximate but the sequence is the same for everyone

The fundamental mathematical capabilities of students in Indonesia are still low when viewed from several international studies‚ one of which is the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) which sees the ability of mathematical literacy. In the last participation‚ Indonesia received a score of 386. This result was still below the average achievement of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) of 490. The PISA aims to measure students’ mathematical literacy skills

Mathematical modelling of a hyperboloid container Mathematical model is a method of simulating real-life situations with mathematical equations to forecast their future behaviour. Eykhoff (1974) defined a mathematical model as ’a representation of the essential aspects of an existing system (or a system to be constructed) which presents knowledge of that system in usable form’. Mathematical models are used particularly in the natural sciences and engineering disciplines (such as physics‚ biology

and Weaver’s Mathematical Theory of Communication is probably the most influential of all communication models; and has been used as a guide from which many contemporary communication theories have emerged. The theory’s large influence on communication studies has also led some to claim that the theory is widely applicable to human communication. In this essay‚ I will be analyzing how artworks are used to communicate messages and ideas to the general audience with the use of this theory. For
