Report On The Use Of An Ibm 1620 Computer By Carleton College Undergraduates, Donald H. Taranto

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

There are two primary sources of computer activity among Carleton students: course work and independent study. In many instances we have found that not only has the student learned something about programming and the use of computers from one of these activities, but also a great deal about the subject matter that motivated the computing. In this respect, the computer is an excellent pedagogic device.

In the following outline of our student computer work, I have merely named the computer problems originating in courses but have described more fully some of the work arising from independent study. The 1620 Users …

A Parameter Perturbation Technique Applied To Multipoint Iteration Functions For The Solution Of Systems Of Nonlinear Equations, Robert N. Delozier

Masters Theses

"The convergence of classical iterative procedures, when applied to a system of nonlinear algebraic or transcendental equations, is highly dependent upon a good initial approximation to the desired roots. Most of the classical iterative schemes have convergence factors between one and two. In this paper iterative schemes of order two and greater are studied in connection with a parameter perturbation process. The parameter perturbation process relaxes the restrictions on the choice of initial values. The procedure divides each problem into a number of subsidiary problems. Each subsidiary system of equations is then solved until a solution is found to the …

Near Optimal Sequencing :N Jobs And M Machines; All Jobs To Be Processed Through The Same Order Of Machines, Larry Glen Clark

Masters Theses

"There is a need, in industry, for an efficient method of determining an optimal sequence for processing a number of jobs through two or more machines. A method which requires a minimum amount of time would be most beneficial. The purpose of this study has been to define such a method. Tests on the method described indicate that although an optimal solution is not always obtained, the solutions obtained are quite good and due to the time factor the method would be beneficial to industry"--Abstract, page ii.

Grade Herd Recording, 1963-64, Maurice C. Cullity

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

A review of Grade Herd Recording during the 1963-64 season.

THERE was a substantial increase in the number of cows which were recorded in 1963-64 compared with 1962-63 (23,520 and 22,635 respectively).

This season's figure represents 20.4 per cent, of all cows in the dairying districts.

The number of cows which completed lactation and therefore whose yields were included in the averages, rose from 17,258 to 19,011.

Grade Herd Recording : 1962-63, Maurice C. Cullity

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

A poor season coupled with a 16 per cent, increase in the number of cows tested during 1962-63 led to a drop in the average yields of cows in the Grade Herd Recording Scheme.
