Critical Point: A value of x such that either f′(x)=0 or f′(x) does not exist. Now let's practice two examples of finding critical values of functions. Example Problem 1: Finding Critical Points of a Function by Finding Where the First Deri...
In this paper we analyze the consideration of intuitionistic logic as an extension of classical logic. This — at first sight surprising — point of view has been sustained explicitly by Jan Łukasiewicz on the basis of a mapping of classical propositional logic into intuitionistic propositional log...
On this interpretation, the point of saying that gender and race are socially constructed is not to make a causal claim about the origins of our concepts of gender and race, or to take a stand in the nature/nurture debate, but ... SA Haslanger - 《Philosophy》 被引量: 134发表: 2012年...
Math phobics out there tend to see the degree circle and minute sign and break out into a sweat. No worries -- you can relax: This is NOT advanced Calculus. In fact, after reading this short primer you'll know exactly what you're looking at in terms of degrees and minutes, no matte...
Sometimes, Lefties are just trying to expand our worldviews about perspective, meaning, etc without actually throwing away logic and truth altogether. Sometimes there is just a point about how math is complicated and often can have different rules. Listen, you are free to use whatever meanings, ...
As I read this, I thought Roth must be a professor at an elite private college. And sure enough, he is. Having attended an institution similar to Wesleyan I see Roth's point. But as a professor at a public university, I see no signs that the students are too critical--or critical ...
Approximately 35-40% of students at Arroyo took Precalculus at some point in their high school career, though it was common for several students to ultimately drop the class. In this way, the students in Donovan's Precalculus 67 class were unique in that they self-selected to take this ...
Guest essay by Eric Worrall h/t Dr. Willie Soon,Campus Reform; According to the Mathematical Society of America, the largest body of mathematicians in the world, mathematics carries “inherent human biases” which can only be addressed by “engaging in critical, challenging, sometimes uncomfortable...
However, (16) is not exactly the formula Powell retrieved from his own infinitesimal calculus, because the two interdivision-time PDFs do not share the same definition. Indeed, g is the conditional probability that, given a cell divides, it does so at age a, whereas Powell’s interdivision...
Ancient starches can be recovered from residues on the surfaces of tools, carbonized residues of potsherds, dental calculus, and cultural deposits. Here we selected just one type of lithic tool, the paired slab and muller (Fig. S4), as these grinding implements are used in food processing at...
