...What part of the modeling process do you believe is the most important (obviously they are all important, but pick one). Justify your answer. I believe the making assumptions portion of the modeling process is the most important. Which assumptions are made will determine how accurate and sensitive the resulting model will be. If assumptions can be made that are accurate and easily found for a wide range of scenarios, a very accurate model can conceivably be formed and modified to cover a wide range of possible parameters. 4. Build on the brainstorming from the previous section about the roller coaster model. Certainly we did not uncover all the ways in which roller coasters are considered thrilling. Define the problem statement in your own words, based on your understanding of the problem. Finally, take your work one step further and list the assumptions on which you could build your problem.

Begun in 1983 as a high school class project, the series extended from the earliest, crudest text adventures to state-of-the-art 3D and sprawled across multiple genres and at least four revolutions in graphics technology. It starred four heroes—a warrior, a wizard, a princess, and a half-elven thief—and chronicled their improbably extended lives spent exploring, warring, marrying and betraying through two war-torn ages of the world. Sadly, the projected end of the long campaign, mapped out by Simon in his junior year of high school, was never reached.

...have been lately giving a bad image due to the fact of suspicious shootings. The shootings are what is in the media and what everyone sees, the people do not see all the sacrifices and good deeds that officers achieve. The media gets more and more powerful each and every year, and the impact it has on people is significant. Whether it is on Facebook, Twitter, CNN or Yahoo, people will believe anything they see on the internet without knowing the facts. The media has giving police officers a bad image and I do not think it is fair for officers. If an officer were to break rules or not go with standard procedure, they are penalized just like anyone else. Some citizens tend to think officers can do whatever they want and not get penalized. For example, On April 4th, 2015 a man was shot in the back by a cop for suspicious reasons and then the officer tried to plant his taser next to the victim (Walter Scott) and say the victim tried to steal his taser. Immediately, the officer was fired and may face additional charges. This shows that officers are not above the law and that every man is equal. Police relations with the community is a huge deal and should be worked on to better the relationship. I have put together 3 recommendations to better the...

...journey by boat It was Durga Pooja vacation. I had come to my native village with my cousins. As we had no work there, we found the village life very dull. Suddenly an idea struck in my mind and soon we decided to go on a journey by boat. A day was fixed for the journey. The river was not too far. On the fixed day we took our bags and some things to eat and started for the river bank on foot. As we had already hired a boat, we found it ready. The boat was small but it was beautifully decorated. There were two boat-men who instructed us to set properly on both the sides of the boat. It was morning and the sky was clear.

...Melody Chen Professor Noroski Intermediate Microeconomics December 19, 2015 The Oligopoly in the American Movie Industry Movies and films have been in our lives since the late 1890s. Over the years, it has transformed from a 3-minute silent film, to a 120 minutes feature movie. From the American classic, The Great Train Robbery, to the infamous Star Wars series. Before the movie starts and the thrilling story begins, we are often greeted by 10-seconds short introductions of the movie studios. The Big Six, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Walt Disney, Columbia, Universal, and 20th Century Fox are the ones we see most often. And it’s these very companies forms a oligopoly market in the movie industry. An oligopoly market structure is in which there are small numbers of firms controlling the market, and the dominance is shared between these firms. The film industry is a good example of oligopoly. The big six as mentioned above, control well over 87 percent of the film industry in the U.S., with other smaller companies and independent studios share the rest of the market inconsiderably. We can say that the film industry is highly concentrated. So with such concentration ratio, how can the movie studio compete with each other? Strategy becomes an important part to the studios. Since the studios are interdependent to others, because the high demands of the market and the competitions, studios must anticipate the likely response of a rival to any given change in their output...

...representatives of Scottish football teams on 30 November 1872. This match, played at Hamilton Crescent in Scotland, is viewed as the first official international football match because the two teams were independently selected and operated, rather than being the work of a single football association.[3] Over the next forty years, England played exclusively with the other three Home Nations—Scotland, Wales and Ireland—in the British Home Championship. To begin with, England had no permanent home stadium. They joined FIFA in 1906 and played their first ever games against countries other than the Home Nations on a tour of Central Europe in 1908. Wembley Stadium was opened in 1923 and became their home ground. The relationship between England and FIFA became strained and this resulted in their departure from FIFA in 1928, before rejoining in 1946. As a result, they did not compete in a World Cup until 1950, in which they were beaten in a 1–0 defeat by the United States, failing to get past the first round in one of the most embarrassing defeats in team history.[4] Their first ever defeat on home soil to a non-UK team was a 0–2 loss to the Republic of Ireland on 21 September 1949 at Goodison Park. A 6–3 loss in 1953 to Hungary, was their first ever defeat at Wembley by a team from outside of the British Isles. In the return match in Budapest, Hungary won 7–1. This still stands as England's worst ever defeat. After the game, a bewildered Syd Owen said, "it was like playing people from outer...

...A key theme in The Martian by Andy Weir is to persevere through difficult situations, even when you feel that you have no hope. “Of course, I don’t have any plan for surviving four years on one year of food. But one thing at a time here. For now, I’m well fed and have a purpose: fix the damn radio.” -Mark Watney (page 11) This reveals Mark’s ability to take one issue at a time and not give up hope. He knows the odds are against him, but he stays optimistic, tackling issue by issue. “Remember those old math questions you had in algebra class? Where water is entering a container at a certain rate and leaving at a different rate and you need to figure out when it’ll be empty? Well, that concept is critical to the “Mark Watney doesn’t die” project I’m working on.” - Mark Watney (page 18) This is just one example of many instances where he explains his situation and the math behind it in a very clear yet lighthearted fashion. He goes on to explain his needed daily caloric intake and the amount of food he has to work with....
