THEOREM OBJECTIVES Recognize patterns in binomial expansions. Evaluate a binomial coefficient. Expand a binomial raised to a power. Find a particular term in a binomial expansion Understand the principle of mathematical induction. Prove statements using mathematical induction. Definition: BINOMIAL THEOREM Patterns in Binomial Expansions A number of patterns‚ as follows‚ begin to appear when we write the binomial expansion of a b n‚ where n is a positive integer. a

Dimensional analysis of models and data sets James F. Pricea) Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution‚ Woods Hole‚ Massachusetts 02543 Received 22 May 2002; accepted 4 November 2002 Dimensional analysis is a widely applicable and sometimes very powerful technique that is demonstrated here in a study of the simple‚ viscous pendulum. The first and crucial step of dimensional analysis is to define a suitably idealized representation of a phenomenon by listing the relevant variables‚ called the physical

to conduct a study about how economic growth and the environment protection are related with one another. The De La Salle University – Dasmariñas‚ Mathematics Department in the College of Science‚ has given tasks to students which is to create a mathematical model that would fit to the theme‚ “Taking Responsibility in Environmental and Ecological Sustainability (TREES)”. In order to construct a model showing the relationship between the country’s economic growth and the environmental protection

conceptual process. Psychological literature provides a number of theories of mathematics anxiety. (Suinn 1988); has defined mathematics anxiety in terms of its (crippling) effect on mathematical performance. It’s been observed that the feeling of tension and anxiety interfere with manipulation and the solving of mathematical problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic situations. It also involves feelings of tension and anxiety

abstract model of a particular system. Computer simulations have become a useful part of mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics‚ chemistry and biology‚ human systems in economics‚ psychology‚ and social science and in the process of engineering new technology‚ to gain insight into the operation of those systems. Traditionally‚ the formal modeling of systems has been via a mathematical model‚ which attempts to find analytical solutions to problems which enables the prediction

model the world around us. Mathematical Modeling As we approach day to day life we often need to quantify the things around us‚ giving structure and numeric value to various situations. This ability to add structure enables us to make choices based on patterns we see that are weighted and systematic. With this structure in place we can model and even predict behavior to make decisions. Adding a numerical structure to a real world situation is called Mathematical Modeling. When modeling

The Causes and Prevention of Math Anxiety Mathematics anxiety has been defined as feelings of tension and anxiety that interfere with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic situations Math anxiety can cause one to forget and lose one’s self-confidence (Tobias‚ S.‚ 1993). Research confirms that pressure of timed tests and risk of public embarrassment have long been recognized as sources of unproductive tension among

For the mathematical literature project‚ I chose to read Overcoming Math Anxiety‚ by Sheila Tobias. Before reading Overcoming Math Anxiety‚ I had never read a book on the subject of math before. This wasn’t because I don’t like reading; in fact‚ the truth is quite the opposite. Rather‚ I had never read a math book because I know I am quickly frustrated by mathematical concepts. Or‚ to put it more bluntly‚ because I don’t much care for most math subjects. I have never had reason to read such a book
