Economics government documents : University of Michigan Library
This collection of economic data and statistics has been produced by the University of Michigan Library and features hand picked links to key sources of economic indicators in the United States. It covers times series, compendiums of data, journals and other sources of information. Each entry includes a brief and full description and a link to the relevant website.
Interactive Whiteboard Teacher Training
An introduction to using interactive whiteboards in the classroom. This is a nine minute video that is very good to showing a new user how to get started. Many examples
Statistical Signal Processing for Modern High-Dimensional Data Sets
April 8, 2009 - Patrick Wolfe, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, Statistics and Information Sciences Laboratory, School of Engineering and Applied Science, Harvard University
Modern science and engineering applications give rise to the vast quantities of high-dimensional data. This talk will provide a broad research perspective on the challenges and opportunities of drawing inferences from such data sets. For the large collections of sounds, images and networks acquired by modern s
Introduction to OO Programming in Java - Classes and arithmetic
This visual aid forms part of the "Classes and arithmetic" topic in the Introduction to OO Programming in Java module.
1.34 Waste Containment and Remediation Technology (MIT)
1.34 focuses on the geotechnical aspects of hazardous waste management, with specific emphasis on the design of land-based waste containment structures and hazardous waste remediation. Topics include: introduction to hazardous waste, definition of hazardous waste, regulatory requirements, waste characteristics, geo-chemistry, and contaminant transport; the design and operation of waste containment structures, landfills, impoundments, and mine-waste disposal; the characterization and remediation
Assignment Survival Kit (ASK)
Assignment Survival Kit is a web-based tool aimed at providing round the clock support for students tackling their first assignment (an essay, a report, a poster or a portfolio). The student enters a start and finishing date and a stepped schedule, mapping out key stages in the completion of the work, is then created. The schedule gives a suggested timescale for activities undertaken in producing an assignment including planning, finding and evaluating materials, citing references and presentat
Statistics and Graphing
Statistics play a vital role in the scientific enterprise. This activity provides background information and tutorials on basic statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, etc.) used in science. Topics include descriptive statistics. l
6.172 Performance Engineering of Software Systems (MIT)
Modern computing platforms provide unprecedented amounts of raw computational power. But significant complexity comes along with this power, to the point that making useful computations exploit even a fraction of the potential of the computing platform is a substantial challenge. Indeed, obtaining good performance requires a comprehensive understanding of all layers of the underlying platform, deep insight into the computation at hand, and the ingenuity and creativity required to obtain an effec

WildLinAlg12: Generalized dilations and eigenvectors
This video introduces the important idea of changing coordinates in Linear Algebra. A linear transformation can be described using many different matrices, depending on the underlying coordinate system, or ordered basis, which is used to describe the space.
The simplest case is when the linear transformation is in diagonal form. Finding such a diagonal form requires finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, which we introduce in this video. We also discuss change of basis matrices.
WildLinAlg10: Equations of lines and planes in 3D
This video shows how we work with lines in the plane and planes in 3D space in Linear Algebra. A line in 2D is represented by a linear equation in x and y, a plane in 3D by a linear equation in x,y and z. Both can also be described in parametric form. It is important to be able to change from a Cartesian to a parametric form.
The space of all lines in the plane has a curious connection with the Mobius band. Lines in 3D are somewhat trickier to describe since they require two linear equations.
