The circumference of a sphere is measured to be 24 cm, with a possible error of 0.25 cm. Use the differential \(dV\) to estimate the maximum error in the calculated ...

Two effective variance-reduction techniques for estimating probabilities and quantiles in the tails of bootstrap distributions--importance sampling and concomitants of order statistics--are based on ...

I've been grading calculus exams this week, and even though my students did quite well overall there were a couple of errors that I see every semester. Errors that make mathematicians' heads explode.

Transportation Science, Vol. 38, No. 3 (August 2004), pp. 343-356 (14 pages) Bounds and approximate formulae are developed for the average optimum distance of the transportation linear programming ...

The area \(A\) of a square of side length \(s\) is \(A=s^2\text{.}\) Suppose \(s\) increases by an amount \(\Delta s=ds\text{.}\) Draw a square and then illustrate ...
