Yue Zhao – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Multivariate Functional Principal Component Analysis (MFPCA) is a valuable tool for exploring relationships and identifying shared patterns of variation in multivariate functional data. However, interpreting these functional principal components (PCs) can sometimes be challenging due to issues such as roughness and sparsity. In this dissertation,…

Philipp, Randolph A. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1996
Encourages teachers to allow opportunities for students to present alternative algorithms, whether the students invent them or learn them, then lead a discussion about the meaning of the operations with the goal of students understanding why the algorithm works. Teachers with students of similar racial and ethnic backgrounds should encourage the…

Eubank, Philip T.; Barrufet, Maria A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1988
Describes an algorithm that provides more rapid convergence for more complicated forms of phase separation requiring the use of a digital computer. Demonstrates that this "inside-out" algorithm remains efficient for determination of the equilibrium states for any type of phase transition for a binary system. (CW)
