    Sets and Functions : Sets and Set Inclusion

    Let U be the single-element set { 1 }. There are two subsets, the empty set φ and { 1 } itself. If A and B are arbitrary subsets of U, there are four possible relations of the form "A is subset of B". Count the number of true relations among these.

    Errors in Measuring Volume of Small Balls in Large Container

    Consider an experimental procedure to measure the average volume of M&M Peanut candies. One hundred piece of the candy are poured into a graduated cylinder with a 30 diameter. The cylinder is then filled with 1 mm diameter beads and shaken so that the beads and candies pack as tightly as possible. Finally, the candies are remove

    Plucker Coordinates

    1. Let d = (1, 2, -2), m = (-8, 5, 1) (a) Check that d and m are orthogonal. I already check that it is orthogonal. DO NOT ANSWER THIS PART. (b) Find a vector v such that d x v = m. In other words, find an affine point on the line with Plucker coordinates (1, 2, -2, -8, 5, 1). 2. Describe a general way t

    Weightage Method
