16.400 Human Factors Engineering (MIT)

This course is designed to provide both undergraduate and graduate students with a fundamental understanding of human factors that must be taken into account in the design and engineering of complex aviation and space systems. The primary focus is the derivation of human engineering design criteria from sensory, motor, and cognitive sources to include principles of displays, controls and ergonomics, manual control, the nature of human error, basic experimental design, and human-computer interact

Pork: The Government's Other White Meat

Years ago I began to cease eating pork because I came to despise it, but at the time, I didn't really know why that was the case.

I was turned off by the dry, white, crumbly texture and the inability to cook most pork cuts—with the exception of some ribs or roasts—in such a manner that I could retain the moisture and integrity of taste. The boneless, center-

Semantic Zoom | Introducing Windows 8

Semantic zoom is a control used by apps in Windows 8 for displaying large sets of content in a truly user friendly format. Semantic Zoom is unique in that it provides an easy to navigate, touch optimized view of the data you present to users.

In designing Windows 8 we wanted to ensure users wouldn't have to pan tediously through large sets of content with touch. Semantic Zoom is our solution to this problem; it gives users the capability to jump quickly to sections&n

18.330 Introduction to Numerical Analysis (MIT)

This course analyzed the basic techniques for the efficient numerical solution of problems in science and engineering. Topics spanned root finding, interpolation, approximation of functions, integration, differential equations, direct and iterative methods in linear algebra.

2.4 Components and the arithmetic of vectors

We introduce now a different method of representing vectors, which will make the manipulation of vectors much easier. Thus we shall avoid having to solve problems involving vectors by drawing the vectors and making measurements, which is very time-consuming and never very accurate.

We can think of a vector as a translation, that is, as representing a movement by a certain amount in a given direction. Then we can use the Cartesian axes in the plane or in

The sample variance

The sample variance of a data sample x ₁, x ₂, …, x_n is given by

Learning outcomes

After studying this Unit you should be able to:

Explain in English and by using examples, the conventions and language used in graph drawing to someone not studying the course
Use the following terms accurately, and be able to explain them to someone else: ‘time-series graph’, ‘conversion graph’, ‘directly proportional relationship’, ‘“straight-line” relationship’, ‘gradient’, ‘intercept’, ‘x-coordinate’, ‘y-coordinate’, ‘coor

1.8.8 Reading distance-time graphs: summing up

You should now be able to interpret distance-time graphs, and be able to use them to find information about the average speed, the distance travelled and the time taken for different sections of a journey. Given any two of these quantities you should be able to identify and use the appropriate formula to find the third.

An important feature of a straight-line graph is its gradient. The gradient, or slope, of a graph expresses a relationship between a change measured along the horizontal

3.1 Word formulas

A formula is a rule or a generalisation. Word formulas – formulas that use English words rather than mathematical symbols – are so much a part of life that people often use them without realising that they are doing so. Here are some examples.

The cost of a purchase of oranges is the price per orange times the number of oranges.

The total cost of petrol is the price of petrol per litre times the number of litres.

1.4.2: Price indices

Cast your mind back to why proportions and percentages were introduced in Section 2. It was because using actual price changes is unsatisfactory in comparing how the prices of different items have altered over time when their basic prices are very different. For example, if the price of a new motor car has gone up by £100 and the price of a new bicycle has gone

3.4 Did I make a rough estimate to act as a check?

When using a calculator many people have ‘blind faith’ in its capacity to provide the correct result.

Calculators invariably provide the co

4.1 Introduction

You cannot cite precedents to a judge and ask him or her to follow them if you don't have a good record of all the earlier cases and how they were decided. The operation of binding precedent, therefore, relies on the existence of an extensive reporting service to provide access to previous judicial decisions.

This section will briefly set out where you might locate case reports on particular areas of the law. This is of particular importance to advocates (usually barristers but s
