Interpolation For The Median In A Frequency Distribution, Paul Cox
Interpolation For The Median In A Frequency Distribution, Paul Cox
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
It is the purpose of this study to discuss completely the median of a frequency distribution: first, by showing clearly what a median is; second, by showing the present and possible future applications for the median in the field of mathematical statistics; third, by taking all methods for interpolating for the median which have been advocated in the literature, or which may not have been advocated to date but appear plausible, and discuss these methods as to the way they are used, the plausibility of their use, and the accuracy obtained by their use.
The Evolution Of The Concept Of Axiom, William Fred Jones
The Evolution Of The Concept Of Axiom, William Fred Jones
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
The field of knowledge known as mathematics is composed of the totality of mathematical systems. A mathematical system consists of a body of propositions known as the axioms. The concern of this paper is with the axioms; in fact, with the change which has taken place during the centuries in the ideas of mathematicians about the axioms.
New Formulae For The Determination Of The Yield Of A Bond, Marvin Roberts
New Formulae For The Determination Of The Yield Of A Bond, Marvin Roberts
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
A written contract to pay a certain amount of money on a specified redemption date, and to pay equal periodical dividends, is called a bond from a mathematical standpoint. The principal mentioned in the contract is its face value, or par value. The amount redeemed, or the redemption value, is denoted by C, the dividends by D, and the principal by F. A bond is redeemed at a par if C and F are the same, and at a premium if C is greater than F. The divided rate, or bond rate, is the interest rate named in the bond. …
Upon The Asymptotic Representation Of Certain Entire Functions In Distant Portions Of The Plane, Abraham Franck
Upon The Asymptotic Representation Of Certain Entire Functions In Distant Portions Of The Plane, Abraham Franck
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
The purpose of this paper is to study two particular entire functions which satisfy the conditions set up in a theorem due to Newsom. It is to be hoped that this report may be preliminary to the invention of a method which will lend itself toward the solution of certain general problems.
