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.

Analysis of a Scholarly Article in Your Discipline
$27.50The idea behind this assignment is for you to take a closer look at your discipline’s discourse community. Discourse communities can only have similar interests and shared knowledge because they continually engage in the production, distribution, and consumption of written (as well as oral and visual) texts. This kind of textual exchange defines a discourse community, sustains it over time, and allows it to adapt to changing social conditions. In other words, discourse communities share not only interests and knowledge, but language, and the particular uses of language within a community keep that community going. In particular, understanding how a scholarly article in your discipline is constructed will give you a better understanding of how knowledge is made in that discourse community.
Audience: Instructor, Classmates
Length: 1000+ words
Article: Product personality and its influence on consumer preference by P.C.M. Govers and J.P.L. SchoormansThis assignment should have two main parts:
I. A brief (100-150 words) summary of the main idea of the article. (Do not base this summary on the abstract of the article.)II. An analysis of the article, taking into consideration the following points from the Johns article:
- How does the article introduce the main topic and argument? What assumptions do the writers seem to make about the audience?
- How do the authors situate their study in relation to other research that has been done in their discipline (or in other disciplines)? How do they use their sources?
- What kinds of specialized language does the article use, and how does that language indicate who the audience of the article is meant to be?
- How do the authors use metadiscourse to direct readers through the text?
- How do the authors use hedging tactics when presenting arguments or conclusions? What are the effects of that hedging?
- How are the authors “absent” from the text? How do they use grammar and lexis to distance themselves from the text? Alternatively, how are the authors “present” in the text? How do they appear as people with particular lived experiences? How do their decisions about whether or not to be present in their texts affect your confidence in their objectivity? (Does objectivity even seem to be a concern for them?)
- What “vision of reality” do the authors present, and how does it represent the assumptions of the authors’ discourse community? How does the article represent, in other words, how the authors think like ________ (architects, accountants, biologists, engineers, etc.)?
Format:
Your paper should follow the format for scholarly articles in your discipline. See the links on Blackboard for help and/or look at the format of the article you are analyzing.
Grading Criteria for Project Two:
- Appropriate article chosen for analysis (research article published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal)
- Summary demonstrates careful reading and a clear understanding of the article
- Analysis demonstrates careful reading and an understanding of both the article and Johns’ discussion of academic textual practices
- Demonstrates careful crafting, including formatting, with respect for student’s primary audience
- Shows effective use of citation conventions appropriate to the discipline (proper use of quotation marks, references) APA
- Includes thoughtful reflection
Reflection Letter:
When you submit the FINAL draft, please also write a reflection letter (1-2 pages) addressing what you’ve gained from writing this assignment. For your reflection, you should write about the process you went through in writing the disciplinary profile. Consider the following questions, but do not simply list out answers to the questions—rather, discuss the experience of writing and revising the project in light of the questions. Don’t be afraid to write about difficulties and even failures—sometimes we learn more from them than we do from success.
- What were some of the challenges that you faced as you worked on this project? How did you address those challenges–what did you do? Do you feel that you succeeded in meeting those challenges? Why or why not?
- How did the peer work help you revise your analysis? What about the peer work helped the most? (For example, getting feedback in writing, discussing your projects with each other, seeing how partners were addressing the same assignment…) What didn’t help (if anything) and why?
- Consider your experience with this project in light of the Writing Program Student Learning Goals. (See the syllabus for the list of the goals.) Which of the goals do you think this project has addressed? How? (Be specific.) Note: I don’t expect that this project has enabled you to “master” any of the goals (some of the goals are ones that take years to master—if ever). But you should consider how you might have made some progress on some of the goals.

Interconnections: Describe three interconnections that came alive for you during this course
$5.00This course has been not only about getting to know the ways in which the University and your colleagues can support you in your program of study and exploring the essential components of the early childhood field, but also about becoming aware of the important role that interconnections play in your growth as a professional; children’s growth into healthy, competent adults; and the growth of the early childhood field in its ability to support, lead, and advocate for the well-being of young children and their families. In other words, you, young children, and the field of early childhood do not exist in isolation. It is through meaningful reciprocal relationships that development and learning take place.
This week’s multimedia presentation, “Interconnections, Part III,” illustrates interconnections among the early childhood field, you, your colleagues, Walden University, and the MSECS program. This Discussion offers the opportunity to review and evaluate this new set of interconnections along with the entire “web” of interconnections, and to consider the personal and professional meaning that some of these interconnections represent for you.
In preparation for the Discussion, consider the following questions:
• In what ways do you feel connected to and supported by Walden University and your colleagues? In what ways do you hope these interconnections will grow?
• Which of the possible interconnections between this course, and your program of study, as underscored in the multimedia presentation, have come alive for you most clearly?
• Which of the interconnections provided you with new and meaningful information about the early childhood field and your role in it?Your task is to post the following:
• Describe three interconnections that came alive for you during this course; provide specific examples.
• Explain how each of these interconnections contributed to your professional and personal growth.1 Page
How do the critical issues in your program of study influence the portfolio that you will put together
$5.00MAE 596 DB1- Current Issues Related to Your Concentration of Study
How do the critical issues in your program of study influence the portfolio that you will put together? Identify and discuss current issues related to your concentration area or to your profession.
Note: A good resource for information on current events is often the news. Please feel free to bring your findings/questions/inquiries raised from it.
****My program of study is Education, concentration in Training and Development****
Below are 2 current issues that could be used for this assignment. I copied verbatim information from the internet. Please be careful to rephrase anything that is used in the discussion board.
Understanding Social Media. Companies are quickly embracing social media tools, as well as investing in social collaboration tools to better engage employees and foster a learning culture. Although social has become mainstream, companies still lack the knowledge and insight around how to use these tools for learning and development. Of the 59 percent of companies using social for their learning strategies, only 24 percent say they are effective. One reason is that companies are limited in the social tools they are using. Companies are using document sharing, discussion forms, and blogs, but they aren’t generally using video or micro-blogs—which our research shows are more effective—to improve their learning functions. Companies must educate themselves on the value of social learning and invest in providers that offer solutions that drive business outcomes.
Considering Adaptive Learning. Adaptive learning is a methodology that breaks traditional models and allows employees to learn at their own pace. It has gained popularity with educational institutions, referred to as “adaptive teaching,” where a teacher will gather information on individual students to learn what they need to do to improve their learning. In the workforce, adaptive learning is conducted similarly. Employees can be monitored individually and in real time to determine what learning approach will best suit their needs. It has advantages for younger generations entering the workforce that have expectations around flexibility and interaction. Adaptive learning can be effective at improving efficiency, as well as employee engagement and retention since it allows employees to build confidence and overall expertise. Companies may want to consider breaking traditional learning methods by introducing aspects of adaptive learning.
Counter-intuitive properties of infinite sets for a lay audience – SURPRISES IN SUM OF INFINITE SETS
$25.00In this essay you will try to describe some counter-intuitive properties of infinite sets for a lay audience.[if !supportFootnotes][1][endif] Think of this essay as an article that might appear in a popular magazine devoted to science or as an article in a Sunday paper. You may assume your audience has a background in precalculus mathematics but no calculus.
As all essays in this course, your essay should have a title, introduction, and summary.
The Blocks Unlimited store sells various sets of toy blocks. One set, called the Deluxe Set, consists of infinitely many cubes, the first of which is 1 ft. by 1ft. by 1ft., the second cube has edge length 1/2 ft, the third has edge length 1/3 ft, and the nth cube has edge length 1/n ft. A second set of blocks, called the Starter Set, is a subset of the Deluxe Set. It consists of infinitely many cubes, the first of which has edge length 1 ft, the second has edge length 1/2 ft, the third has edge length 1/4 ft, and the nth cube in the Starter Set has edge length 1/2n-1 ft.
Give a convincing argument that if all the blocks in the Deluxe Set were stacked one on top of the other, then the stack would extend beyond Alpha Centauri but that it is possible to pack the Deluxe Set into a box that would be small enough to easily fit inside the trunk of a sports car. Since the Starter Set is a subset of the Deluxe Set, it could be packed in the same box used for the Deluxe Set. Argue that if the cubes in the Starter Set were stacked one on top of another, then the stack would be not very high at all and the exact height of this stack can be determined.
The examples given in the previous paragraph are to be discussed in detail in Essay 1. You should include in your essay some additional examples of your own creation or a discussion of one or more of the following topics:
- a) The cubes in the sets are sold unpainted. The Blocks Unlimited store also sells a special paint that can be used to paint these cubes. The paint is special because it has zero thickness. This paint is sold by the square foot. Compute how many square feet of paint one would need to buy in order to paint all the faces of all the cubes in the Starter Set.
- b) Estimate how many square feet of paint one would need to buy in order to paint all the faces of all the cubes in the Deluxe Set.
- c) If instead of painting the entire cube, suppose only a thin stripe is painted on one edge of each cube of the Deluxe Set. Now suppose the cubes are stacked one on top of another so the stripes along the edges lineup. As you argue in the essay, this stripe would be arbitrarily long. Estimate how many square feet of special paint would be needed to paint this stripe. Would an infinite number of square feet of paint be needed?
- d) Can you explain the apparent paradoxes?
You may assume your reader knows basic algebra and will remember, when reminded, formulas for geometric series. However, the reader does not know about definite integrals or about divergent series. Thus, the challenge in writing this essay is to justify the claims about these sets of blocks using only the mathematics the reader already knows.
This assignment is a minor variant on earlier assignments of Baldwin, Berman 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.
