Linear Approaches Linear Approach is also known as the managerial approach because all the models that fall under this approach describe changes from the vision until the implementation stage. It is considered the simplest of all the traditional models in the theories of change. According to Stacey (1996) managing a change under any circumstances whether planned or unplanned is complex with many starts and stops throughout the complete process. This conclusion has been come to under the assumptions

The Maxwell equations Introduction:- One of Newton’s great achievements was to show that all of the phenomena of classical mechanics can be deduced as consequences of three basic‚ fundamental laws‚ namely Newton’s laws of motion. It was likewise one of Maxwell’s great achievements to show that all of the phenomena of classical electricity and magnetism – all of the phenomena discovered by Oersted‚ Ampère‚ Henry‚ Faraday and others whose names are commemorated in several electrical

Linear Programming History of linear programming goes back as far as 1940s. Main motivation for the need of linear programming goes back to the war time when they needed ways to solve many complex planning problems. The simplex method which is used to solve linear programming was developed by George B. Dantzig‚ in 1947. Dantzig‚ was one in who did a lot of work on linear programming‚ he was reconzied by several honours. Dantzig’s discovery was through his personal contribution‚ during WWII when Dantzig

329 Quadratic Equations Chapter-15 Quadratic Equations Important Definitions and Related Concepts 1. Quadratic Equation If p(x) is a quadratic polynomial‚ then p(x) = 0 is called a quadratic equation. The general formula of a quadratic equation is ax 2 + bx + c = 0; where a‚ b‚ c are real numbers and a 0. For example‚ x2 – 6x + 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation. 2. Roots of a Quadratic Equation Let p(x) = 0 be a quadratic equation‚ then the values of x satisfying p(x) = 0 are called its roots or

The development of linear programming has been ranked among the most important scientific advances of the mid 20th century. Its impact since the 1950’s has been extraordinary. Today it is a standard tool used by some companies (around 56%) of even moderate size. Linear programming uses a mathematical model to describe the problem of concern. Linear programming involves the planning of activities to obtain an optimal result‚ i.e.‚ a result that reaches the specified goal best (according to the mathematical
