Determination of Pi

Lab #3:Determination of Pi

Purpose:

  • To take measurements of circumference and diameter for circles.

  • To use data from these measurements to develop data analysis techniques that will be useful in other components of this course.

Background:

We start by asking the question: “In a circle, is the circumference proportional to the diameter?”

If it is then C =Nd, where N is some number whose value we do not yet know. We can now write this as N = C/d Thus, if N is the same for all circles then C is proportional to d for the circles.

Procedure:piece of string, ruler with units (metric units of cm or mm might be easier), a coin, a small can and a large can or round jar.

  • Draw the 3 different circles of different sizes. Label each on second page. (only second page to be submitted for the assignment.

  • Using a string determine the circumference of each object and the diameter. Record your measurements in the data section and remember to record your units.

  • Compute N for each circle.

Data: Use these values for the table on the next page and remember the units

Circle 1:Value of C: __________Circle 2:Value of C: __________

Value of d: __________Value of d: __________

Value of N: __________Value of N: __________

Circle 3:Value of C: __________

Value of d: __________

Value of N: __________

  • Average of N: __________________ (sum up 3 values and divide by 3)

  • Did each circle have same N value?If not why might that have happened?

  • Based on theaverage N, what is the value of N referred to as in mathematics?

  • Explain if this experiment verifies that C is proportional d?

Business communication project

Introduction

Using visuals to present data requires a thoughtful assessment of what type of visual medium to use to convey a message. The visual medium often depends on the type of information being presented. This assignment will guide students in process of selecting an effective visual medium to present data and the creation of a business graphic.

ULOs

  • Assess the power of business images, use the six principles of graphic design to ensure effective visuals, and to avoid ethical lapses when using visuals.

  • Compare the most common options for presenting data in a visual format.

Directions

For this assignment, students will develop a visual to communicate a business message of their choice. Students will select one visual creation resource from the list below to produce the visual. Follow the steps below to complete this creative assignment.

  1. Select a data set, concept, idea, or piece of information to present in a visual. Pay special attention to Table 9.1 and Table 9.2 in the textbook. Students may select any business or career-related topic to communicate. Use fact-based information. Examples include:

    1. A flow chart presenting a business concept

    2. A graph presenting the revenue of five companies

    3. An infographic displaying your employable skills

    4. A 1 Year Plan Illustration

math482 computational methods for data analysis

1. Through the use of the Gabor filtering we used in class, reproduce the music score for the guitar in the GNR clip, and the bass in the Floyd clip. Both are clearly identifiable. See Figure 1 which has the music scale in Hertz. (NOTE: to get a good clean score, you may want to filter out overtones… see below. NOTE
2: It is also helpful to plot the log of the spectrogram… so plot log(|s| + 1) where s is the spectrogram.)
2. Use a filter in frequency space to try to isolate the bass in Comfortably Numb.
3. See how much of the guitar solo you can put together in Comfortably Numb. It may help to look at smaller portions of the clip to guide your reconstruction of the music score.

Establishing Credibility

Review “Evaluating Web Resources: Evaluating Blogs” for a brief overview of the signs of blog credibility.

Visit LinkedIn. If you already have a LinkedIn account, sign in to your account. If you do not yet have a LinkedIn account, sign up for one, so you can access LinkedIn profiles.

Write a 700- to 875-word analysis paper that addresses the following questions based on the two sites you reviewed:

  • What is the goal of the blog site? What is the goal of the LinkedIn profile?

  • Who is the author of each site or profile page? What are his or her professional qualifications?

  • Describe the content from the blog and the LinkedIn profile, summarizing what you learned about each individual.

  • Was one individual more credible than the other? If so, in what ways?

  • Would you share the content or credentials of each individual with others as credible sources? How are value, power, and social capital created in each platform?

  • Do you feel the blogger and the LinkedIn individual’s profiles were credible and authentic? Explain your response.

A. Introduction paragraph:
Create a complete heading for your paper. Introduce the selected artwork by title, artist, date, medium, scale, and location. If the artist is unknown, DO NOT use the work. Find another. Include a detailed description of the piece, describing the work as if the reader has not seen it. Make note important features. Be certain to include a thesis statement in which three visual elements are identified because they contribute to the work’s overall successfulness, both in terms of expression and content.

B. The body of your paper must contain three separate paragraphs.
In separate paragraphs, discuss three different Visual Elements and related Principles of Design seen. The body of the paper will consist of a careful analysis of each of the three visual elements deemed most relevant in the work. Observe and explain how the visual element is working in the overall composition and the supporting design principle is seen in the composition. Relate the ways these pictorial properties convey content or meaning to the viewer. (minimum of 600 words)
1. 1st paragraph: Visual element and supporting principle of design.
2. 2nd paragraph: Visual element and supporting principle of design.

The Principles of Design reflect the ways in which the Visual Elements are assembled into a coherent whole. (Chapter 5)
C. Conclusion paragraph. In conclusion, students should summarize how the three visual elements work together with companion design principles to express or convey meaning ( what is the artist trying to say or express ) for communication and expression. ( 200 words minimum )
