A Mathematical Compilation And Consideration Of News Sources Utilized By The Milwaukee Journal And The Wisconsin News, Eugene P. Hackett May 1933

A Mathematical Compilation And Consideration Of News Sources Utilized By The Milwaukee Journal And The Wisconsin News, Eugene P. Hackett

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to determine the amounts of news drawn from the various news sources by the Milwaukee Journal, a home-owned newspaper, and the Wisconsin News, a chain newspaper, from day to day over a three months period, and from these compiled figures to cast monthly and daily averages and totals. The comparative ratios and amounts of local news will receive special attention.


Probability, The Historical Development Of The Theory And Its Application To Games Of Chance, Rose M. Brandt May 1931

Probability, The Historical Development Of The Theory And Its Application To Games Of Chance, Rose M. Brandt

Bachelors’ Theses

The theory of probability had its origin in isolated mathematical problems taken from games of chance. The beginnings of many of our modern theories and concepts can be traced back to Chinese origin. So too can the theory of probability. With the exception of the Chinese problem, dating from the beginning of the Christian era, no reference seems to have again been made to the theory prior to the latter part of the fifteenth century. In 1494 an Italian monk, Pacioli, was one of the first to introduce the "Problem of Points" into a treatise on mathematics. By the solution …


History And Proof Of The Binomial Theorem, Ethel B. Ray Jun 1927

History And Proof Of The Binomial Theorem, Ethel B. Ray

Bachelors’ Theses

Everyone realizes what a wonderful place the world really is. Yet, we of this day little think of the many generations that have gone to make our universe as it is. We think we have done wonders. We pride ourselves on our modern way. There is a tendency in man to "pat himself on the back" and boast of how well he has done. Little do we realize that millions and millions of people have given their whole lives so that we might be as we are. Of course the soldier gives his life for his country; but what of …


Studies Concerning The Elimination Of Experimental Error In Comparative Crop Tests, T. A. Kiesselbach Jun 1918

Studies Concerning The Elimination Of Experimental Error In Comparative Crop Tests, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

It is apparent that many sources of error have unconsciously entered into comparative crop yield tests. The very important matter of overcoming variation in soil conditions as a source of experimental error has been quite extensively studied and reported by various investigators during the past decade. The means suggested for reducing such error have been (1) repetition of plats and (2) correction of yields according to check plats planted to a uniform variety or treatment at stated intervals. Both methods have proved of value and a combination of both may often be used advantageously. Some danger always exists of error …
