...110/50 February 27, 2012 William A. Massey – Mathematician He was born in Jefferson City, Missouri, as the younger of two sons of Richard and Juliette Massey. He is a graduate of the public schools of St. Louis, Missouri and attended high school in University City, a suburb of St. Louis. After receiving a Harvard Book Award and a National Achievement Scholarship at University City High School, he entered Princeton University in 1973. There, he encountered his first real introduction to research mathematics in an honor calculus course taught by the late Ralph Fox. He wrote his undergraduate senior thesis, titled "Galois Connections on Local Fields,'' in algebraic number theory, under the direction of the late Bernard Dwork, and graduated from Princeton in 1977 with an A.B. in Mathematics (Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi). That same year he was awarded a Bell Labs Cooperative Research Fellowship for minorities to attend graduate school in the department of mathematics at Stanford University. In 1981, he received his Ph.D. degree from Stanford and his thesis, titled "Non-Stationary Queues,'' was directed by Joseph Keller. Dr. William Massey's parents, Juliette and Richard Massey Sr. were both educators; she was from Chattanooga, Tennessee and he was from Charlotte, North Carolina. They met at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri which became his birthplace. Professor Massey's initial fascination with numbers started when his mother would let him play with...

...term "applied mathematics" is used in a broader sense. It includes the classical areas noted above as well as other areas that have become increasingly important in applications. Even fields such as number theory that are part of pure mathematics are now important in applications (such as cryptography), though they are not generally considered to be part of the field of applied mathematics per se. Sometimes, the term "applicable mathematics" is used to distinguish between the traditional applied mathematics that developed alongside physics and the many areas of mathematics that are applicable to real-world problems today. There is no consensus as to what the various branches of applied mathematics are. Such categorizations are made difficult by the way mathematics and science change over time, and also by the way universities organize departments, courses, and degrees. Many mathematicians distinguish between "applied mathematics," which is concerned with mathematical methods, and the "applications of mathematics" within science and engineering. A biologist using a population model and applying known mathematics would not be doingapplied mathematics, but rather using it; however, mathematical biologists have posed problems that have stimulated the growth of pure mathematics. Mathematicians such as Poincaré and Arnold deny the existence of "applied mathematics" and claim that there are only "applications of mathematics." Similarly, non-mathematicians blend applied mathematics and...

...Trade, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics, Biology, Botany, Psychology, Astronomy etc…, so application of statistics is very wide. Now we discuss some important fields in which statistics is commonly applied. (1) Business: Statistics play an important role in business. A successful businessman must be very quick and accurate in decision making. He knows that what his customers wants, he should therefore, know what to produce and sell and in what quantities. Statistics helps businessman to plan production according to the taste of the costumers, the quality of the products can also be checked more efficiently by using statistical methods. So all the activities of the businessman based on statistical information. He can make correct decision about the location of business, marketing of the products, financial resources etc…(2) In Economics: Statistics play an important role in economics. Economics largely depends upon statistics. National income accounts are multipurpose indicators for the economists and administrators. Statistical methods are used for preparation of these accounts. In economics research statistical methods are used for collecting and analysis the data and testing hypothesis. The relationship between supply and demands is studies by statistical methods, the imports and exports, the inflation rate, the per capita income are the problems which require good knowledge of statistics.

... Quantitative Reasoning Decision making for planning, management, and policy formulations relies increasingly on quantitative reasoning, which entails the collection, analysis and interpretation of data. Mathematics plays a huge part in quantitative reasoning but quantitative reasoning is still a skill with practical applications. From my readings, quantitative reasoning can be applied to daily contexts such as understanding the power of compound interest or the uses and abuses of percentages. Quantitative reasoning could also be used for statistical analysis to gauge the accuracy of a statistical study. While Quantitative Reasoning is not the most important component in a masters level education, it is however important for college students to become competent in quantitative reasoning. Many courses do not dive deep into sophisticated math skills but quantitative reasoning should give the student math tools to understand, interpret, critique, challenge and draw conclusions. As I pursue my masters’ degree I feel that the course in quantitative reasoning will prepare me in many of my other classes. The course has provided many examples of how quantitative reasoning is used with many different problems that one could be confronted with in the business world. Such problems include; what is our return on investment for this project? What price should we set to increase revenue? How much product must we sell to make a profit? Will offering our product in different...

...Unit 2 – Probability and Distributions Iesha Babers American InterContinental University Abstract Many occasions can’t be predicted with absolute certainty and the best way to say how likely something will happen is to use probability. When you have a set of data that is well defined and random probabilities can be used to describe statistical numbers of outcomes divided by the number of all the outcomes. Memo To: Head of American Intellectual Union From: Iesha Babers Date: 04-06-14 Subject: AIU Percentages Dear: Head of American Intellectual Union: It has been a joy to do some research on AIU below you see the percentage of male and females that are with in AIU, the tenure these employees have been with the company, the percentage of three departments, and the mean for extrinsic by gender. Overview of the Data Set Using probability within an organization can be beneficial because it let the organization know if there are room for improvements (Stephanie, 2010). The data that was used for this current probability report were the qualitative variables gender and quantitative variable extrinsic. The probabilities below show the probability for gender, employee’s tenure with the company, and the percentage of employees that are in different departments. Use of Statistics and Probability in the Real World We us probability in our everyday lives we are just un-ware of when it’s being used such as when watching the new and the weather man says there...

...Usage of Applicable Mathematics in Biomedical Engineering (Macro and Micro Biomechanics) Biomedical engineering is an emerging discipline which links medicine, biology, and technology in order to tackle medical problems using an engineering approach. As such, it is heavily influenced by engineering principles and uses applicable mathematics in nearly all of its aspects. It is important to note that applied mathematics (vector algebra, calculus, numerical approaches to solving functions, etc.) is a language, which evolved to serve the needs of science and particularly those of classical (Newtonian) mechanics. Thus, it describes and explores natural phenomena using mathematical functions and relations. As biomedical engineering incorporates many engineering spheres, it employs applicable mathematics in numerous situations. The following is an overview of the applications of mathematics in solving macro-biomechanical, and micro and nano-scale challenges in biomedical engineering. Biomechanics is a field of biomedical engineering which analyses the behaviour of structures and materials in biological or medical applications [1]. It is closely related to the field of prosthetics and uses mathematical analysis to design and test better devices. Dynamic analysis of systems involves constructing free-body diagrams and resolving forces acting on the components. Using partial derivatives and integration can vastly simplify biomechanical problems by switching between the domains...
