mathematical (math) functions

drawProgress(); // If done, will stop if (this.intervals == this.settings.intervals) { this.stop(); return; } else { // If not done, will continue after break or rest round. this.seconds = this.settings["break"]; this["break"] = true; } } }; intervalTimer.prototype.draw = function () { var minutes = Math.floor(this.seconds / 60); var ...

Well, a neural net basically corresponds to a big mathematical function, formed by connecting together lots of smaller functions, each involving a certain number of parameters ("weights"). At the outset, the big function basically just gives random outputs. But the way the function is set up, it's possible to "train ...

When Jennifer N. Lovett joined the MTSU Department of Mathematical Sciences faculty in August 2016, she came as an already nationally recognized ... MTSU students watched videos of middle school students' engagement with the applet to learn about how teenagers learn about functions, she added.

But I'm here to tell you that Pi Day is wrong — or rather, the entire idea of pi as a mathematical concept is wrong. .... It also makes circle functions like sine and cosine easier, since it makes one full cycle of the function match up with one full turn of the circle (tau), instead of the seemingly arbitrary 2π that you ...

Powhatan School math teacher Harry Holloway is an origami enthusiast and is making a piece for every day of the year. He is seen Wednesday with the origami Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton he created. Jeff Taylor/The Winchester Star. BOYCE — Harry Holloway starts with a piece of paper. After folding and ...

Quasiconformal mapping is also used by materials scientists. They like it because it lets mathematical functions stretch a little, but not beyond recognition. In quasiconformal mapping, the grid of squares (left) can be stretched a little to fit another math function, but the squares are still recognizable (middle).

Technical experts, using publicly available data and industry-supplied methodologies, also are comparing vehicles of a similar size, shape and function to study their road load and how it can be improved. Bogard said analysts must test assumptions about how much a technology can improve over time, ...

NEW YORK — Michael Gallin, a 34-year-old math teacher at KAPPA International High School in the Bronx, was winding his way through the cluttered aisles of his algebra classroom listening for sighs of frustration. One girl was sitting glumly by the window, eyeballing a function she was supposed to ...

Along with his long-time collaborator French mathematician Yves Meyer, Coifman is also known for his role in the development of the theory of wavelets, which are mathematical functions in the form of short waves. Wavelets can be used to represent certain types of functions efficiently and have profoundly ...

Other languages have functions, methods or subroutines, but JavaScript has the Function object which is a general object which has an additional default "code property" that can be evaluated ... For example the built in Math object provides a place to group mathematical functions like sin, cos and so on.
