Factors That Predict Success Of A Beaumont Student, Tara Limestoll Apr 2019

Factors That Predict Success Of A Beaumont Student, Tara Limestoll

Masters Essays

This project is an attempt to discover predictors of high school performance through the use of data science techniques and analysis of the Beaumont school 2017-2018 student body. High school success is an important factor for college admission, so being able to forecast a student's performance or identify those in need of assistance is paramount. Analysis shows that there is a strong correlation and predictive quality in the quantitative assessment results examined in this study. While results for both success and failure were significant, predictions of student success measures were more accurate than those of the failure group.

Archimedes In The Classroom, Rachel Towne Apr 2018

Archimedes In The Classroom, Rachel Towne

Masters Essays

Eureka! Eureka! What better way to excite and engage students than to bring Archimedes into the classroom? Archimedes is widely regarded as the greatest mathematician of antiquity. Very little is known about Archimedes’ personal life. Archimedes was born in Syracuse, Sicily around 287 B.C., and he was the son of an astronomer. He probably studied in Alexandria, Egypt under followers of Euclid. Today we know Archimedes as a brilliant mathematician and scientist, he spent much of his career inventing war machines. Despite orders not to harm Archimedes, his life was cut short in 212 B.C. when the Romans invaded Syracuse …

Course Proposal For A Mathematical Modeling Course In A High School Curriculum, Thomas P. Marlowe Jul 2015

Course Proposal For A Mathematical Modeling Course In A High School Curriculum, Thomas P. Marlowe

Masters Essays

In the winter of 2015, I will be piloting a course on mathematical modeling at Hawken School, an independent high school in Gates Mills, OH. As I develop all elements of this course, such as lesson plans, assessments, and rubrics, I will be mindful of factors such as the newly adopted Common Core mathematics standards, the variety of student backgrounds in such a course, and how various mathematical societies and organizations such as SIAM, MAA, and COMAP can help in implementing it. However, there is one basic question driving my interest in and design of this course: “when am I …

Hyperbolic Geometry And Mobius Transformations, Emmalee Stevens Apr 2015

Hyperbolic Geometry And Mobius Transformations, Emmalee Stevens

Masters Essays

Imagine a world in which there are infinitely many lines through a single point that are all parallel to the same line; this world is referred to as the hyperbolic plane. It starts with a brief history of the development of hyperbolic geometry and the mathematicians who contributed their explorations of the hyperbolic plane. The reader will be reminded of some of the important aspects of Euclidean geometry and some of the basic properties that will later be adjusted to develop hyperbolic geometry. The hyperbolic plane will be constructed from the pseudosphere and the properties of the Poincare Upper Half …
