Volumes of Infinite Collection of Cubes Essay
$30.00This essay continues the scenario of Essay 1. You will now describe some further counter-intuitive properties of infinite sets for an audience that has had exposure to calculus II.[if !supportFootnotes][1][endif] Think of this essay as an article that might appear in a newsletter for undergrads interested in mathematics and science that have studied integration and infinite series, but perhaps need some reminders about those topics.
Recall that your essay should have a title, introduction and summary, as well as a main body.
The Blocks Unlimited store has expanded its offerings to include an Ultra Deluxe Set of blocks. In this infinite set the nth block has side length.
Show that this set contains the Deluxe Set as a subset (which in turn, as you should have noted in Essay 1, contains the Starter Set as a subset). Thus argue that the Ultra Deluxe Set, when stacked, would reach infinitely high.
Recall the special paint from Essay 1. Show that this set cannot be painted with a finite amount of the paint. Show that, in contrast, a finite amount of ordinary paint (in fact less than 3 cubic feet) would suffice to fill the blocks if they were hollow.
Compare the Ultra Deluxe Set with the infinite horn generated by revolving the graph of from to about the x-axis.
Show that this horn has finite volume but infinite surface area and so is somewhat like the Ultra Deluxe Set. Give the value of the volume.
The examples given in the previous paragraph are to be discussed in detail in Essay 2
You should include in your essay some additional examples of your own creation or a discussion of the following:
Consider the horn generated by revolving the graph of[ to about the x-axis. Is the volume finite or infinite? What about the surface area?
This assignment is a sequel to earlier assignments of Baldwin, Berman, Thulin and Radford and is based eventually
on an exercise in Writing in the teaching and learning of mathematics, J. Meier and T. Rishel, MAA 1998.

Select and evaluate one of the financing options/programs that pay for health care
$5.00Financing plays a significant role in the process and structure of the U.S. health care system. It is impacted by politics, health consumers, reimbursement systems, for-profit industries, and special interest groups. The result is that many different groups work to place their agenda for health care spending and reimbursement in the forefront. This places a burden upon society and contributes to a disjointed system.
How health care is financed shapes the types of services provided, who receives services, and how health care professionals are reimbursed for services. To prepare for this Discussion, reflect on your readings as well as the information provided by the experts in this week’s video presentation.
With these thoughts in mind, select and evaluate one of the financing options/programs that pay for health care in the U.S. Then, address the following:
- What are the issues associated with that option?
- How does health care financing impact nursing practice?

Course Objectives: 1-8
Related Standards: Florida Principal Leadership Standards 1-10
Interstate Leadership Licensure Consortium Standards (ISLCC) 1-6
Educational Leadership Constituents Council (ELCC) Standards 1-7
Description of Assessment
The purpose of the project is to provide each candidate with an opportunity to utilize human capital management and strategic planning skills to plan for school improvement. The human capital may include teachers and/or school and district leaders. The activities call upon the candidate to develop and articulate a plan to build capacity, assess the current status of the school in relation to the plan, and ensure that when the plan is put into operation it will serve to close the gap between the status quo and the desired outcomes articulated in the plan. The work should reflect established practices and be attentive to the critical functions and operation of the school, and should be developed with consideration of (1) the school and district improvement plans; (2) the organizational culture of the school and district; (3) the organizational, operational, and resource management of the school; (4) instruction and learning, particularly the needs of all students and teachers; (5) professional development. In addition, candidates are expected to demonstrate understanding and consideration of applicable aspects of leadership, organizational, adult learning, human behavior theories, as well as human capital management.

Overview
Principals are expected to build capacity among the professional staff to continuously improve instruction and student achievement. Building capacity involves, among other things, providing appropriate opportunities for educators to participate in professional learning communities. The activities comprising this key assessment provide candidates with an opportunity to utilize knowledge and practice skills that are salient to capacity building within the school.
Assignment
Introduction: Via this assessment, candidates will demonstrate knowledge and skills needed to develop and articulate a plan to build capacity within the professional staff in a school. The assessment is purposely designed to be broad enough in nature to allow the candidates to
approach the work using various approaches. Plans should be based upon recent literature and other relevant sources of information, and should be feasible (i.e. plans and recommendations should be mindful of real-life constraints like provisions contained in state regulations, [e.g., timelines required in the FL DOE School Improvement Plan], local policies, and collective bargaining agreements).
The assessment comprises three parts.
Part I: In the first section (2-3 pages, double-spaced), candidates will develop a vision for what his/her school could do to build capacity among the professional staff with regard to improved instruction and student achievement. The intent here is to imagine the candidate’s school as it would look operating at optimal effectiveness with regard to capacity-building and professional learning. The vision should reflect knowledge of established practices for professional learning, be attentive to relevant constraints and resources/opportunities, and should focus on building capacity that will support continuous improvement in teaching and learning.
Part II: In the second section (2-3 pages double-spaced), candidates will analyze the current status of the school with regard to capacity-building and professional learning in order to define the gap between the current status and the status envisioned for the school in section I. Here, candidates should provide data and/or other evidence (e.g., the school’s SIP, interviews with relevant professional staff) to support claims about current status. The “gap” description should clearly describe (and, when possible, quantify) the difference between the current reality and the vision articulated in part I.
Part III: In the third section (3-4 pages double-spaced), candidates will develop an action plan that describes concrete steps that could be taken to move the school from where it is now to the vision described in the first section (i.e., to close the gap described in part II). Although knowledge of concepts and theories undergirding school leadership ought to inform thinking about the plan, the plan itself ought to be presented in a highly practical format (including but not limited to timelines, barriers to be reduced or eliminated, responsible persons for individual plan elements/phases [by position if not by name—e.g., staff member, consultant, district office, etc.], participants, dates, monitoring.).
