What is Algebra? Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses mathematical statements to describe relationships between things that vary over time. These variables include things like the relationship between supply of an object and its price. When we use a mathematical statement to describe a relationship, we often use letters to represent the quantity that varies, sisnce it is not a fixed amount. These letters and symbols are referred to as variables. (See the Appendix One for a brief review of

Basili Computer Science Department University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 basili@cs.umd.edu Abstract Little theory exists in the field of software system measurement. Concepts such as complexity, coupling, cohesion or even size are very often subject to interpretation and appear to have inconsistent definitions in the literature. As a consequence, there is little

V = C0 + C1 C2 Cn + + ··· + , 2 1 + r1 (1 + r2 ) (1 + rn )n where rn is the n year discount rate. • Monthly Rate: The monthly rate, x, is x = (1 + EAR) 12 − 1, where EAR is the effective annual rate. The EAR is EAR = (1 + x)12 − 1. • APR: Rates are quoted as annual percentage rates (APR’s) and not as EAR’s. If the APR is monthly compounded, the monthly rate is x= AP R . 12 1 • Perpetuities: The present value of a perpetuity is PV = C1 , r where C1 is the cash flow and r the discount rate.

concentric with the circle x2+ y2 – 6x + 12y + 15 = 0 and having the area twice the area of the given circle. 6. For any two real numbers x and y, prove that |x+y| ≤ |x| + |y|. 7. What do you mean by tautology of compound statement? Give an example of it. 8. For any positive constant ‘a’ and for any real number ‘x’ , prove that |x| < a ⇒ -a < x < a. 10. Prove that the tangent to the circle x2+y2=5 at the point (1,-2) also touches the circle x2 + y2 - 8x + 6y + 20 = 0 and find

Limits Theorem: A statistical theory that states that given a sufficiently large sample size from a population with a finite level of variance, the mean of all samples from the same population will be approximately equal to the mean of the population. Furthermore, all of the samples will follow an approximate normal distribution pattern, with all variances being approximately equal to the variance of the population divided by each sample's size. This statistical theory is very useful when examining
