...mathematics, and you want to give them something simple and friendly to read. Preferably something that gets right to the point and which costs no more than the paper it’s printed on. I didn’t know where I could get a document like this, so I wrote one. You’ll notice that “significant figures” have not been rigidly observed in the numerical examples. That’s because this book is directed at students who need help in getting any correct numbers to round off. If you find this booklet to be useful or else worth exactly what it costs and/or have any suggestions, please write to me at murdock@tntech.edu To the Students: Your college science courses may very well require you to do some mathematics (algebra, trig) and some work with a scientific calculator. You may not have been warned about this when you wrote that check for your tuition, but it’s too late now! Bwaahh-hah-Haah! . i ii PREFACE! In this booklet I’ve tried to pick out the bits of your math courses that you will really need to get through your first courses in physics and chemistry. In addition, I give some directions on...

...Where there are concepts not covered in the text or the undergraduate lecture, I have explained them to you in ‘What You Need to Know' for Week Three. I have also made notes for each question, and they are listed below. 1. a. and b. templates can be found in the case model. c. and d. require you to use a formula to manually calculate the effective interest rate; you can find the formula in the Week Three Time Value Analysis document. Once this is done, you can use the case model to find the future values. Finally, e. is a bonus question (one point); the only hint I can give you is that you must equate the effective interest rates formulas and solve for the unknown. A. $55,000.00 B. 5% = $52,500.00 15% = $57,500.00 C. 2. a. and b. can be found in the case model. c. and d. require you to use the effective interest rates calculated in question 1 above. Then you can use the case model to find the future values. 3. Templates for both a. and b. are in the model. 4. a. Refer to the model for guidance. b. and c. can be solved using the model. d. and e. will require that you use a financial calculator, given the complexity of the problems. There are several calculators on the internet. (See the Web Sites section of this site.) The key inputs are: interest rate, future value, number of annual payments, and amount of each payment. f. is another bonus opportunity (one point). For this bonus question, you have to make an assumption that, under annual compounding...

...H.E. McCracken is a Middle School that temporally houses 9th graders as a new high school is being built in Beaufort County school District. During my day of observation I had the pleasure to observe three different special education classes: a math resource class, self-contained math class and inclusion math class. As the first semester winnows down these 9th graders are preparing for their End of Course (EOC) exams on their Dell tablets for testing in the areas of math and ELA. Students that do not pass their EOC will have a 9th grade status but will be moved to the new high school and take 10th grade classes for the rest of their classes.

...Project Proposal: Local Grind To Hootman Investing PM592 – Summer 2011 Executive Summary When you think of coffee in the Northwest, most people know there is Starbucks and small coffee shops. Coffee shops have become a familiar feature of American communities, not only for the purchase of a morning cup of coffee and snacks, but for mid-day and evening as well. With the introduction of fancy espresso-based coffee and drinks, people are spending between $3 and $6 for their cappuccino, mocha latte, vanilla ice blended drink, or other flavored drink that may be coffee based. Privately owned coffee houses have been on the increase for over 20 years because they are relatively recession proof. Leading companies, such as Starbucks and Peet’s, are located in almost every major city in the US. Small unique coffee shops like the Local Grind are able to compete with these larger chains; they are able to develop competitive advantages by catering to the specific demographics of their location and by personalizing their services to cater local needs. Our goal is to provide quality coffee related services and products by capitalizing on an untapped demographic that has many potential un-serviced customer. To accomplish our goals, we are requesting $100,000 from your company, as an initial investment to set up operations. We plan to invest an additional 20% from our own resources, up front, for the start up operational costs. Local Grind is scheduled to open for business...

...period from the project is even or uneven. In case they are even, the formula to calculate payback period is: Payback Period = | Initial Investment | | Cash Inflow per Period | When cash inflows are uneven, we need to calculate the cumulative net cash flow for each period and then use the following formula for payback period: Payback Period = A + | B | | C | In the above formula, A is the last period with a negative cumulative cash flow; B is the absolute value of cumulative cash flow at the end of the period A; C is the total cash flow during the period after A Both of the above situations are applied in the following examples. Decision Rule Accept the project only if its payback period is LESS than the target payback period. Examples Example 1: Even Cash Flows Company C is planning to undertake a project requiring initial investment of $105 million. The project is expected to generate $25 million per year for 7 years. Calculate the payback period of the project. Solution Payback Period = Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow = $105M ÷ $25M = 4.2 years Example 2: Uneven Cash Flows Company C is planning to undertake another project requiring initial investment of $50 million and is expected to generate $10 million in Year 1, $13 million in Year 2, $16 million...

...Reducing My Environmental Footprint Kaplan University SC225-02 Environmental Science Professor Christina Kamnikar Prepared by: Using the carbon footprint calculator was a very interesting beginning to this assignment. Learning what your footprint is makes it “real” seeing actual numbers related to what you do helps to understand the footprint. After all this is not something we can go outside and see every day, being the invisible mysterious object that countries, politicians and even climate scientist have a hard time defining and identifying the causes and solutions. Plugging in the numbers to the calculator and seeing the results for mine was surprising. The U.S. average is 42,957 and my household with two adults and two cars came out to 26,086. Now I must point out that at this time being unemployed has a benefit to the environment. I have very limited mileage on my Jeep the last year and a half, so that helped my household numbers a lot. We recently purchased a new refrigerator that is energy star approved and that replaced one that was twenty years old. Mother Nature made us replace our furnace a few years ago. We had a flood that left 4.5 feet of water in the basement and causing us to have to replace our oil burning furnace and hot water source. Again it was over twenty years old and we have already seen a huge savings in fuel bills and with the new furnace I am sure a reduction in our carbon footprint. We live in a rural section and you have...
