Energy conservation in the home. A study on a typical suburban home electricity use. Lighting.
... consumption of an appliance can be obtained from its nameplate or in the case of lighting, on the globe or tube itself. It identifies the energy rating in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). What is a watt? Encyclopaedia Britannica describes a watt as: 'unit of power in the International System of Units ...
Pythagorean Theorem
... of elementary mathematics. It was the motivation for a wealth of advanced mathematics, such as Fermat's Last Theorem and the theory of Hilbert space. The Pythagorean Theorem asserts that for a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two ...
Taxicab Geometry
... of geometry uses the Cartesian coordinate system to measure the distance between two points by the sum of the absolute difference in their coordinates. The taxicab distance is also known as the Manhattan distance and city block distance. The distance is called Manhattan because the city blocks ...
Applying ANOVA and Nonparametric Tests.
... for more than two populations. The Kruskal-Wallis is used to analyze data that does not have a normal distribution and/or the data has been deemed ordinal and not quantitative. Another key lesson learned is that if you do not consider the right ...
Mathematical Modelling of a Can.
... for this shape. - I have used a cylinder to model a regular can of drink since it has similar features as a can, one of them being that one can unfold the cylinder into a rectangle (the sides) and two ...
Zeno of Elea
... s argument and yours suggest. A simpler way to explain this would be to say that if the first half of the semester takes a certain amount of time, and time always passes at the same rate, then the second half of the semester will also take ...
Topology: from Lefschetz to Euler
... space geometry, due to the properties of a topological figure. Others call it the study of continuity, being that all topological figures have but one surface that has no end. Topology may be roughly divided into three branches: point ...
Hidden Faces Of A line Of Cubes
... together to find a formula that fits. By figuring out the other two formulas I can now calculate the number of hidden faces by subtracting the number of visible faces from the total number of faces. Or I could find the number of hidden faces by using by using ...
Essay on the square root of 2
... Pythagoreans who were scared and frantic by the thought of an irrational number. Pythagoras' follower most likely used a geometrical proof when he was first discovering the irrationality of the square root of two. This proof uses Pythagoras' theorem that in a right triangle ...
Algebra Basics, Equations, and Mathematical Models
... piece of string or the inside of a grandfather clock, consists of a mass (the rock) and a support (the piece of string). When the mass is moved a small distance away from its equilibrium point (the bottom of ...
