Writing the "The Market for ‘Lemons’": A Personal Interpretive Essay It was believed that a significant part of the so-called “growth residual,” which is that part of growth that could not be accounted for by increases in capital or increases in the labor force, could be explained by the growth in education. These new systems introduced a mathematics that could deal with goods (in this case capital) that varied continuously in their quality. Edward Denison’s (1962) Sources of Economic Growth and the Alternatives Before Us, which followed Solow’s methodology in calculation of growth residuals, made estimates of the effects of increased education. www.nobel.se /economics/articles/akerlof/index.html

USF Mathematics --- Colloquia, Fall 2002 In this paper we use the cumulative distribution of a random variable to define the information content in it and thereby develop a novel measure of information that parallels Shannon entropy, which we call cumulative residual entropy (CRE). Information Theory originates from two path breaking papers of Claude E. Shannon (1948) in which he proposed a quantitative measure of information and uncertainty in a random phenomenon based on the classical Boltzmann Entropy of Statistical Physics. It is difficult to overestimate the influence of this work on modern information theory. www.math.usf.edu /Research/fall02/colloquia   (776 words)

Présentation Complex Analysis and Analytic Geometry belong closely together and are one of the few fields in the center of pure mathematics with many applications to other areas of pure mathematics (algebraic geometry, differential geometry, dynamical systems, P.D.E., topology, number theory, etc.) and applied Mathematics (theoritical physics, geophysics, mathematical economy, tomography). Residue morphisms; structure of residual currents; characterization of residual currents as a generalization of the characterization of holomorphic chains. Residues are used in the theory of Feynman integrals and, for example, in geophysics and for sollution of equations of mathematical Physics. www.math.jussieu.fr /projets/ac/Reseau/presentation.htm   (2291 words)

90.07.08: Ship and Airplane Testing: Physics for High School Mathematics Students Froude’s program was to determine the frictional resistances from the wetted surface areas of the model and the ship, determine the residual resistance of the model by towing the model, scale the model’s residual resistance up to the full size ship, and add it to the ship’s frictional resistance to get the ship’s total resistance. The residual resistances varied as the displacements when the Froude number for both the model and the prototype were equal. William Froude (1810-1879), a nineteenth century English scientist, was one of the first to use a towing tank to test the designs of ships. www.yale.edu /ynhti/curriculum/units/1990/7/90.07.08.x.html   (7511 words)

FLS: A Fortran Program for Flexible Least Squares Estimation The residual efficiency frontier is the collection of all coefficient trajectory estimates that yield vector-minimal sums of squared residual measurement and dynamic errors conditional on a given set of observations. The Fortran program FLS implements the flexible least squares (FLS) approach to time-varying linear regression developed by Robert E. Kalaba and Leigh Tesfatsion in "Time-Varying Linear Regression Via Flexible Least Squares", Computers and Mathematics with Applications Vol. In analogy to the determination of Pareto efficiency frontiers for multicriteria decision problems, the basic FLS objective is to determine the residual efficiency frontier for linear regression problems. www.econ.iastate.edu /tesfatsi/fls.htm   (7511 words)

glasstop.txt Dr. Particle has missed most of all of this conversation, having been watching the striking effects of the wind on the water, the darker residuals of the earlier mile (or miles) long cigar-like roll of cloud now wholly dissolved of its anomolous shape, and the residual is now rolling overhead in fast haste shoreward. It happens that certain mathematics lead directly to other mathematics, and it is this first 'certain' mathematics, which intrinsically connects to the second, that I have been calling 'Hyperwaves' for lack of any other convenient term, since no term exists in present day physics for such connections, ie. Particle has picked up the sheet I had in hand seconds before, and glancing at it, nods and puts it back down, putting it aside, and is now looking at other sheets which I had rapidly shuffled a few seconds before. missingmass.net /glasstop.txt   (228 words)

Current projects include the constitutive theory of residually stressed elastic materials, elucidation of the role of residual stress in growth, and the development of a mechanical model of the red blood cell membrane that incorporates structural detail at the level of cytoskeletal proteins and their interactions. maeweb.ucsd.edu /solids.html   (1687 words)

MESA Memo 64: Measurement for Psychology Each measure is accompanied by a realistic estimate of its precision and a mean square residual-from-expectation evaluation of the extent to which the raw ordinal data from which the measure has been estimated fit the measurement model. Although mathematics did not initiate the practice of measurement, it is the mathematics of measurement which provide the ultimate foundation for better practice and the final logic by which useful measurement evolves and thrives. This is a universal characteristic of all measurement. www.rasch.org /memo64.htm   (1687 words)

Landen Landen was never a professional mathematician and his interest in mathematics was for him a leisure activity. Landen's work appeared as A Short Discourse Concerning the Residual Analysis published in 1758 and, in a more complete form, in Residual analysis which was published in 1764. Naturally, Landen's language is that of his time, in terms of fluents and fluxions, and his arguments are not rigorous in the modern sense. www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk /~history/Mathematicians/Landen.html   (611 words)

Big O notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It has two main areas of application: in mathematics, it is usually used to characterize the residual term of a truncated infinite series, especially an asymptotic series, and in computer science, it is useful in the analysis of the complexity of algorithms. Big O notation is a mathematical notation used to describe the asymptotic behavior of functions. In mathematics, both asymptotic behaviours near ∞ and near a are considered. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Big_O_notation   (1424 words)

EMLS 9.1 (May, 2003]: 6.1-58 How to Read an Early Modern Map Where an original Platonism discovers the origins of mathematics in the ideal, and medieval and renaissance Hermeticism seeks to harness the virtues of these ideal origins within mundane practice, Ramus discovers a "closed circuit" leading from and back to human use (Hooykaas 20-21). And whilst there may seem in retrospect to be a great distance between the mystic "visions" of medieval Neoplatonism and the positivist observations of the empiricist enlightenment, it seems that, as Martin Jay has put it, the "positive associations of geometrical order" residual in the latter still owed no small debt to the former (54). Cosgrove is interested in the permeation of a strain of geometric Platonic idealism, which he calls a "Euclidean ecstasy," through sixteenth-century discourses ranging from the pure metaphysical to the determinedly practical, and through discourses concerned with newly dignified and "intellectual" arts such as perspectival painting in between. www.shu.ac.uk /emls/09-1/edwamaps.html   (486 words)
