Visual Evidence Data and design in everyday life Lena Groeger Welcome to Visual Evidence, a new regular series about visualization in the real world! We’ll take a look at unexpected datasets, cool design solutions or insightful graphics. Chances are, you probably think your mind works pretty well. Learn Right, Not Rote. Mathematics related discussions. Computation - Operations Management/Industrial Engineering. The materials discussed on these pages are strongly related to PERT (Project Evaluation and Review Technique) and CPM (Critical Path Method), two methods developed in the 1950's for controlling complex projects.
Since the computer age was just beginning, some of the approximations used for the analysis were necessary simplifications and the methods were primarily implemented by hand or with batch runs on main-frame computers. Although computer technology has made the methods much more efficient and accessible, some of the approximations remain. This add-in implements of the methods of project management using Excel. An important advance is that the analysis is mostly dynamic in the sense that changes in the data are reflected immediately on the results. This makes possible dynamic interactions between model and user. Cem Kaner, J.D., Ph.D. The Published Data of Robert Munafo at MROB. Xkcd readers: RIES page is here My resume (a bit untraditional, like me).
More pages and topics, grouped by subject: Mathematics Dice : Links to examples of all known types of dice, mainly organised by number of sides; and lists of tabletop games telling which dice are used for each. Exponentially Distributed Dice : Dice to roll random numbers whose logarithms are evenly distributed. Formal Power Series algorithms (for now, just the square root) Generating Functions are discussed in the context of decimal expansions of fractions like 1/98 = 0.0102040816... How Many Squares : One of the more popular types of mathematical troll-bait. Hypercalc is my "calculator that cannot overflow", available as a web app and a more powerful Perl version for UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X and Cygwin. Large Numbers : The -illion names, tetration and faster-growing functions, Graham's number, and other fascinating ways to go far beyond the merely astronomical. My Laws of Mathematics : Kinda humorous, kinda serious.
