A Computer Program For Population Analysis, W. Ralph Rice, Walter L. Manger

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A computer program for population analysis has been developed that is simply written, but relatively sophisticated. It consists of three parts: computation and tabulation of data, statistical analysis and plotting. The program can be understood readily by computation center personnel and requires a minimum of modification for use in most facilities.

An Analysis Of The Spatial Distribution And Location Of Ski Resorts In Southern Ontario, John E. Lewis

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

With increased amounts of leisure time, improved means of access and mobility, greater real incomes, new technology, and an increased desire to ski, the amount of skiing being done will continue to rise in the future.

The factors that have determined the development of existing ski resort facilities appear nebulous. Some of the ski resorts established in the past have resulted in economically successful operations while others have ended in a financial loss for the owners involved as well as …
