  • Numerical Integration

    • Numerical integration constitutes a broad family of algorithms for calculating the numerical value of a definite integral.
    • Numerical integration constitutes a broad family of algorithms for calculating the numerical value of a definite integral, and, by extension, the term is also sometimes used to describe the numerical solution of differential equations.
    • The term numerical quadrature (often abbreviated to quadrature) is more or less a synonym for numerical integration, especially as applied to one-dimensional integrals.
    • There are several reasons for carrying out numerical integration.
    • Some embedded systems and other computer applications may need numerical integration for this reason.
  • Numbers

    • Sometimes it is appropriate to write numbers as numerals; other times they should be spelled out.
    • Numbers that are more than two words long should be written as numerals.
    • Nontechnical quantities of 10 or more are expressed in numerals (300 people, 12 whales).
    • Page numbers and the titles of figures and tables are expressed in numerals.
    • Back-to-back numbers are written using both words and numerals (six 3-inch screws).
  • Generating Roman Numerals from a Figured Bass Line

    • In other words, this will help you perform a Roman numeral analysis of a figured bass line.
    • Note that on the charts below, generic capital Roman numerals are provided.
    • If do is in the bass, the bass is scale-degree 1, and the Roman numeral is I.
    • If re is in the bass, the Roman numeral is II.
    • If mi is in the bass, and the figure is "6", the root is do, and the Roman numeral is I.
  • Complex Fractions

    • A complex fraction is one in which the numerator, denominator, or both are fractions, which can contain variables, constants, or both.
    • Since there are no terms that can be combined or simplified in either the numerator or denominator, we'll skip to Step 3, dividing the numerator by the denominator:
    • Start with Step 1 of the combine-divide method above: combine the terms in the numerator.
    • You'll find that the common denominator of the two fractions in the numerator is 6, and then you can add those two terms together to get a single fraction term in the larger fraction's numerator:
    • Let's turn to Step 3: divide the numerator by the denominator.
  • Numerical Integration

    • Numerical integration is a method of approximating the value of a definite integral.
    • Numerical integration constitutes a broad family of algorithms for calculating the numerical value of a definite integral.
    • The simplest method to numerically solve integrals is to use the midpoint or rectangle rule.
    • The trapezoidal rule is a more accurate method of numerical integration.
    • Illustration of the rectangle rule of numerical integration.
  • Types of variables

    • The pop2010 variable is also numerical, although it seems to be a little different than fed spend.
    • Classify each of the variables as continuous numerical, discrete numerical, or categorical.
    • The number of siblings and student height represent numerical variables.
    • Height varies continuously, so it is a continuous numerical variable.
    • Are these numerical or categorical variables?
  • Introduction to inference for numerical data

  • Types of Variables

    • Numeric variables have values that describe a measurable quantity as a number, like "how many" or "how much. " Therefore, numeric variables are quantitative variables.
    • Numeric variables may be further described as either continuous or discrete.
    • A continuous variable is a numeric variable.
    • A discrete variable is a numeric variable.
    • Therefore, categorical variables are qualitative variables and tend to be represented by a non-numeric value.
