Mx agcrprod
The document discusses research on the relationship between aging and creative productivity. It finds:
1) At the aggregate level, creative productivity typically follows a curve of rapid rise, a single peak, and then gradual decline with age.
2) However, there is significant individual variability, and quality of work may decline less with age than quantity.
3) Factors beyond just aging, such as one's creative potential, field of work, and life experiences, strongly influence the age-creativity relationship. Therefore, late-life creative increments are possible for some individuals.

Answering these questions will help ensure a thorough examination of the data from all relevant perspectives.
3.1 extrema on an interval
The document defines extrema as the extreme or maximum and minimum values of a function on an interval. An absolute extremum occurs at an endpoint of a closed interval, while a relative extremum occurs in the interior of an open interval. A function has extrema at points where the derivative is equal to 0 (critical points) or where the function is not differentiable. The Extreme Value Theorem states that a continuous function on a closed interval will have both an absolute maximum and minimum. To find the extrema of such a function, evaluate it at all critical points and endpoints. A function can have a maximum or minimum at multiple points within an interval.
Pi
Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is written on a basketball that the author uses for a school project. The basketball has a circumference of approximately 29 inches and a diameter of 9 inches. Using the formulas, the surface area is calculated to be 254 inches squared, the volume is 381 inches cubed, and the circumference is calculated to be 28.3 inches, close to the measured 29 inches. Pi is important for determining properties of spheres, circles, and other geometric shapes.
Ogt trig 1_labeling_right_triangles
This document introduces right triangle trigonometry and labeling the sides of a right triangle. It explains that the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle, while the opposite and adjacent sides depend on the reference angle. The reference angle can be either acute angle, and changing the reference angle switches the labels of the opposite and adjacent sides. Practice problems are included to help label triangles given a reference angle.
John And Kate Use Synthetic Division
Bentley was a puppy who loved hearing his mother's bedtime stories of magical lands. One night, he dreamed he was in the story his mother told - a land where a girl had to answer a question correctly to return home. When Bentley woke up, he found himself actually in the magical land. He went on a journey making friends along the way. When he reached the magical gate, the gatekeeper gave him a math problem to solve in order to return home. Using his smarts, Bentley was able to solve the problem correctly, opening the gate and returning him home.
Modeling with quadratic functions
The document discusses modeling quadratic functions based on given information about the graph. It provides an example of a parabola with the vertex at (2, -3) and a point (4, 1) given. Using the point-slope form, the quadratic function for this parabola is determined to be y = 1(x - 2)(x - 4) based on the given vertex and point. It also shows writing the equation in intercept form using the x-intercepts -2 and 3 and a point (-1,2).
Linear Approx, Differentials, Newton S Method
This document discusses linear approximations, differentials, and Newton's method for finding roots of functions. Linear approximations provide a linear equation that closely models a nonlinear function near a given point. Differentials represent very small changes in the variables of a function. Newton's method is an iterative algorithm that finds roots by taking successive guesses, using the slope of the tangent line at each guess to get closer to the root with each iteration. The document provides examples of applying these concepts to find how changes in variables impact a function and to approximate roots of equations.

Rethinking Communication Flows in Rolling Admissions
This document discusses rethinking communication flows in rolling admissions. It introduces Amanda Courtney from TargetX and Paula Nuckles from Monmouth College who will discuss this topic. They propose using formula fields to calculate things like student classification, time left to recruit, and communication stage dates rather than static dates. This would allow communications to be sent based on where students are in the process rather than dates. Monmouth College implemented this approach using TargetX and it allows their communications to be more sustainable over time.
Predicting School Ratings with Machine Learning
This document discusses using machine learning to predict school performance ratings in Colorado. The author analyzed data from over 4,500 public schools over three years, with performance ratings as the target variable and factors like free lunch eligibility, teacher salaries, and student demographics as predictors. Three models - neural network, linear regression, and decision tree - were tested. Linear regression performed best, showing that free lunch eligibility had the greatest impact on ratings, while online schools predicted lower ratings and charter schools higher. The model only explained 34% of variance, so more factors should be added. Overall, the analysis aims to identify schools for early intervention support.
Predictive Analytics in Education Context
Education plays a vital role in nation’s overall development process. To be effective, analysis must be timely and cope with data scales.

It retrieves credit card data from a public dataset containing details on customers' personal information, credit limits, payment histories and default statuses. The data is explored through visualizations to identify relationships between variables. Two classification models are built using KNN and decision tree algorithms. The decision tree model achieves a higher accuracy of 80% compared to KNN's 74% accuracy, indicating decision trees are more suitable for predicting default payments from this credit card data.
If You Build It, Do They Come?
MAPC Data Services analyzed the the impact of school construction on district enrollment in Massachusetts public school districts before and after major school construction or renovation projects that took place between 1996 and 2006. The primary goal of this effort, conducted for the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) was to ascertain whether enrollment increases after construction or renovation of a school facility above and beyond what would have been projected to occur in the absence of a construction event?
Based on nearly 200 school construction events, MAPC found that grades experiencing construction events are statistically likely to experience only a very small increase (~1%) in grade-to-grade ratios in the year a new or renovated school opens, an effect which diminishes over time. For example, an 800 student school is likely to see enrollment increase by 9 students in the first year after a school opens.
The results of this analysis can be used to inform MSBA’s enrollment projections. Currently, MSBA projects enrollment for future years based, in part, on average grade-to-grade ratios for the past five years. In certain instances, MSBA may find it appropriate to make a small, temporary adjustment in the assumed grade-to-grade ratios for the years immediately following the anticipated completion of construction, and then a return to the pre-construction grade-to-grade ratios in the period 4 years or more after construction. This analysis can provide the MSBA with parameters for making adjustments to grade-to-grade ratios when deemed appropriate.
