...NASCAR and Formula 1 Both have their roots in the car races of the early 1900's. The European races of the 20's and 30's for Formula 1 and the beach course races at Daytona Beach, Florida in the 30's. Formula One is open wheel racing, meaning simply that the cars' wheels are open, or not covered by the skin of the vehicle. The sport is basically technology driven. Manufacturers spend time and money in research and development to produce new parts construction materials to make their cars faster than the next guy. The courses are generally road courses, a term meaning that the course consists of left and right turns as well as straights. As mentioned by others Formula 1 races are sometimes run on courses made of blocked off city streets. They also race in the rain and use a different type of fuel. Formula 1 races take place all over the world. NASCAR is stock car racing, meaning that the cars are loosely based on 4 door sedans currently in production by the auto makers that compete in the series; Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and Toyota starting in 2007. The cars do use older technology, but they are meant to emulate the classic American hot rods. It's the idea of taking what you have and doing enough modifications to beat the other guy. Although, in NASCAR, those modifications must meet the standards and fit the rules. They compete on many different tracks, although most are considered oval. There are many configurations though; ovals, tri-ovals, quad-ovals, nearly rectangular...

...Q1. What do you need in order to succeed in Formula One? All three team focused on different strategies as it changed within the environment and situations that they were faced by, but it was proved that a team needs all kind of elements to be able to achieve things together and to focus on every strategy that takes place. The team believed that if they wanted to get something right they had to look at it in all kind of elements, like the budgets, the designers, the package, the drivers, the engine and every aspect that might be the most important from the top to the bottom which results to a winning team. The strategy that takes place has to be covering all parts of the area and not rely on one only as this can cause to be short lived and cannot sustain long term success. The racing teams have to be updated with the latest technologies and to ensure a good relationship with its sponsors and suppliers. The attitude, enthusiasm and drive of the team is very important as they need to put in the extra effort if they desire to win and not just rely on the fast car but also they need to focus and build good relationship. Q2. Discuss which teams were successful in different periods and why? Ferrari * In 2009 the Ferrari money was estimated at 15% from the prize money * They had achieved more then four times in three years. * In 1975 – 77 a renaissance was seen in the Ferrari team. * In 1964 they won and then they dominated motor racing. * Ferrari is the oldest...

...miscalculations that were created by the old system of data collection are rectified. The research shows the ineffectiveness of the previous methods of data clustering through a comparative analysis of the new and the old data clustering method. Introduction Clustering of data is important for any process of data reduction. This is because classification of data allows research to have reduced data upon which they can make an analysis. Huge data that is not classified makes it difficult for researchers to handle data within a short period of time. There are various methods and formulas that are used in data reduction. These formulas are meant to correct certain inconsistencies that previous formulas had towards data reduction. In data analysis, it becomes difficult for researchers to analyze data because of unclassified data that increases the time for making calculations. Classification of data through the new formulas will ensure that there are sets of data that are classified on the basis of the level of similarity and difference of a certain chosen data trait. Methodology This section will concentrate on analyzing...

...We know that the (national income) multiplier (K) is greater than 1, and that it can be computed from two different formulae; K = ΔY / ΔA K = 1 / [1 – z] How did we arrive at this result? We know that AE = C + I + G + NX The right hand side (RHS) can be rewritten to reflect the assumptions regarding autonomous and induced spending. AE = c0 + cYD + I + G + X – mY We also know that YD = (1-t)Y So AE = c0 + c(1-t)Y + I + G + X – mY = c0 + I + G + X + c(1-t)Y – mY Equilibrium means that AE = Y So we have Y = c0 + I + G + X + c(1-t)Y – mY By moving all the terms with national income (Y) to the LHS, we have Y[ 1 - c(1-t) + m ] = c0 + I + G + X Denoting the RHS (the sum of the autonomous components) with the symbol A, we have Y = 1 / [1 - c (1-t) + m]* A which gives us the equilibrium level of national income, but can also be expressed as changes: ΔY = 1 / [1 - c (1-t) + m]* ΔA The expression { 1 / [1 - c (1-t) + m] } is the multiplier (K). Dividing both sides of the above equation by ΔA ECON 1002 Feb 2013 We have ΔY / ΔA = 1 / [1 - c (1-t) + m] which gives us our first formula for K. What about the second formula? What is z? It is the marginal propensity to spend out of national income, which include the propensity to consume and the propensity to import. As we saw above, consumption spending comes out of disposable income, and therefore, the propensity to consume out of national income is c(1-t). We also assumed that imports represent a leakage from the circular flow, therefore...

...you will solve a problem using induction. Problem 1 (25 Points) In the sheet “Problem 1” you are given the major and the GPA of a sample of students at a university. Your task is: 1. Using IF, filter the data for these students by major. You will need to add a column for each major and then use the IF function to filter the data by major. Your formula should use proper anchoring so it is copyable both down and across. 2. Calculate the overall average GPA as well as the average GPA for each major. 3. Use conditional formatting to shade cells pink if a GPA is less than 2.2 Your solution must look like this (including the formatting): Your solution must take into account the possibility that the data could change, i.e., do not “hard code” any data values. If the major of a student changes, your calculations should update to the correct values automatically. Additionally, if new rows are inserted or existing rows are deleted, your spreadsheet model should still work.

...Mathematical Writing by Donald E. Knuth, Tracy Larrabee, and Paul M. Roberts This report is based on a course of the same name given at Stanford University during autumn quarter, 1987. Here’s the catalog description: CS 209. Mathematical Writing—Issues of technical writing and the effective presentation of mathematics and computer science. Preparation of theses, papers, books, and “literate” computer programs. A term paper on a topic of your choice; this paper may be used for credit in another course. The first three lectures were a “minicourse” that summarized the basics. About two hundred people attended those three sessions, which were devoted primarily to a discussion of the points in §1 of this report. An exercise (§2) and a suggested solution (§3) were also part of the minicourse. The remaining 28 lectures covered these and other issues in depth. We saw many examples of “before” and “after” from manuscripts in progress. We learned how to avoid excessive subscripts and superscripts. We discussed the documentation of algorithms, computer programs, and user manuals. We considered the process of refereeing and editing. We studied how to make effective diagrams and tables, and how to find appropriate quotations to spice up a text. Some of the material duplicated some of what would be discussed in writing classes offered by the English department, but the vast majority of the lectures were devoted to issues that are specific to mathematics and/or computer science. Guest lectures by...

...be astronomical as long as the process is correctly developed. Cellonics is the future. Transmitting data over radio waves and then defragmenting is soon to be a method of the past, Cellonics offers technology with the ability to increase modem speed by up to 1000 times. The breakthrough came from the study of human cells, when stimulated these cells generated waveforms separated by periods of silence. The Cellonics technology has developed a procedure which mimics these signals in a way in which they can be applied to the communications industry. This sophisticated technology accepts slow analog input and distributes rapid pulse waveforms encoding digital information and broadcasting it over communication channels. NDS mathematical formulas are applied to the cells to stimulate responses; this is a non-linear system so the output can exceed normal capacities while the application remains straightforward. Cellonics is set to revolutionize the communication industry. Businesses or corporations which communicate remotely will be able to increase their speed, reliability and decrease their power consumption. All of these factors combine to offer a lower overhead operating cost and in return a higher profit margin. The face of telecommunications is changing, Cellonics is leading the charge.
