Recall from the first-day handout that any student not obtaining a positive score on the FINAL EXAM will not pass this class. • The material covered will be the same as that covered on the homework from the start of the semester through Dec 6 (but not §6.3) inclusive. (Homework is listed at my website: www.uta.edu/math/vancliff/T/F11 .) • My remaining office hours are: 3:30-4:20 pm on Thurs Dec 8 and 3:30-5:30 pm on Mon Dec 12. • This test will be, in part, multiple choice, but you do NOT need to bring a scantron form. There will be several choices of answer per multiple-choice question and, for each, only one answer will be the correct one. You should do rough work on the test or on paper provided by me. No calculator is allowed. No notes or cards are allowed. BRING YOUR MYMAV ID CARD WITH YOU. • When I write a test, I look over the lecture notes and homework which have already been assigned, and use them to model about 85% of the test problems (and most of them are fair game). You should expect between 30 and 40 questions in total. • A good way to review is to go over the homework problems you have not already done & make sure you understand all the homework well by 48 hours prior to the test. You should also look over the past tests/midterms and understand those fully. In addition, this...

...Linear Algebra Applied to Economics Input-Output Analysis Introduction: There are several non-mathematical subjects that linear algebra can be applicable too. Economics is a topic that linear algebra can be used to make a formal application, for example in Input-Output Analysis, econometrics, Game theory, and break-even point analysis. As a group we are going to be focusing on the Input-Output analysis, a type of analysis created for the purpose of describing and making predictions of complicated mathematical models using systems of linear equations. It was established by “W. Leontief, who won the 1973 Nobel Prize in Economics” (Hefferon, p.60). In this paper, mathematical and linear algebra formulas, calculations, graphs, diagrams, pictures, etc., will be clearly shown as to further understand the applicability of linear algebra in economics. Calculations and mathematical examples used in economics will be provided in the context of this paper for better understanding. Also, terms and notations used will be explained, derivation and origin of mathematical results will be shown. Definitions: Economics is a branch of knowledge concerned with the production, distributions, and consumption of goods and services. Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics with the properties of finite dimensional vector spaces and linear mapping between the spaces. The equations are represented using matrices and vectors and consist of several unknowns. Econometrics is branch of economics...

...inear systems of equations arise in many computational tasks in many different disciplines. They arise naturally when a continuous mathematical model is converted to a discrete numerical algorithm. However, there are also a huge number of initially discrete models where they also arise. As Wassily Leontief wrote in Scientific American in 1951 [153]: This article is concerned with a new effort to combine economic facts and theory known as “interindustry” or “input-output” analysis. Essentially it is a method of analysis that takes advantage of the relatively stable pattern of the flow of goods and services among the elements of our economy to bring a much more detailed statistical picture of the system into the range of manipulation by economic theory. As such, the method has had to await the modern high-speed computing machine as well as the present propensity of government and private agencies to accumulate mountains of data. It is now advancing from the phase of academic investigation and experimental trial to a broadining sphere of application in grand-scale problems of national economic policy.1 Gaussian elimination is the oldest and the simplest — but not always the fastest — algorithm for solving matrix equations. The title of this chapter is quite long because a matrix equation can be solved by many different algorithms. The only ones we discuss are Gaussian elimination and a variant which is faster in certain circumstances. Frequently in physical systems...

...How will computers be programmed to control traffic flow and avoid congestion? They will be required to solve systems continually based on the following premise: If traffic is to keep moving, during any period of time the number of cars entering an intersection must equal the number of cars leaving that intersection. Let’s see what this means by looking at the intersections of four one-way city streets. Traffic Control Figure 6.3shows the intersections of four one-way streets.As you study the figure,notice that 300 cars per hour want to enter intersection from the north on 27th Avenue.Also, 200 cars per hour want to head east from intersection on Palm Drive. The letters and stand for the number of cars passing between the intersections. a. If the traffic is to keep moving, at each intersection the number of cars entering per hour must equal the number of cars leaving per hour. Use this idea to set up a linear system of equations involving and b. Use Gaussian elimination to solve the system. c. If construction on 27th Avenue limits to 50 cars per hour, how many cars per hour must pass between the other intersections to keep traffic flowing? Solution a. Set up the system by considering one intersection at a time, referring to Figure 6.3. For Intersection Because cars enter and cars leave the intersection, then For Intersection Because cars enter the intersection and cars leave then For Intersection Figure 6.3 indicates that cars enter and leave, so For...

...1.0 Introduction In this era of information technology, civil engineers rely heavily on software to perform their design tasks. Unfortunately, most commercial structural analysis packages are closed-source, which means that the operations that the program performs cannot be inspected by the user. Moreover, such software packages are invariably very pricey, and, hence, are generally not affordable for students and smaller engineering firms. The objective of this design project was to design a structural analysis program that would be free of charge and available to all. This computer program was to be open source and well commented, so that its users could comprehend the operations performed in the analysis of a given structure. To accomplish these objectives, the generalized stiffness method of structural analysis was implemented into a computer algorithm. This algorithm, called “TrussT Structural Analysis”, is a collection of visual basic modules embedded in a Microsoft Excel document using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). This design report outlines the theory behind TrussT Structural Analysis, as well as the methods by which that theory was implemented into computer algorithms. The first two sections of this report present the theory of the generalized stiffness method of structural analysis and its implementation into a computer algorithm. The following sections present the procedures by which the stiffness method was modified to incorporate the analysis...
