Description
In the 1990s, financial markets in the United States boomed. The Dow Jones Industrial
Index—a widely quoted index of the values of 30 large corporations (see Chapter 8 )—rose
from a level of 2,800 in January 1990 to more than 11,000 by the end of the decade; this
compares to a move from 100 at its inception in 1906 to 2,800 eighty-four years later.
In the early 2000s, as a result of an economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere,
this index fell back below 10,000. The index rose to over 14,000 in July 2007,
but (because of an increasing mortgage market credit crunch, particularly the subprime
mortgage market) fell back to below 13,000 within a month of hitting the all-time high. By
2008, problems in the subprime mortgage market escalated to a full blown financial crisis
and the worst recession in the United States since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones
Industrial Arerage (DJIA) fell to 6,547 in March 2009 before recovering, along with the
economy, to over 11,000 in April 2010.

SMA 104: CALCULUS 1
Trending!
A function is a relation from a set of inputs to a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output. This means that if the object x is in the set of inputs (called the domain) then a function f will map the object x to exactly one object y=f(x) in the set of possible outputs (called the codomain). Analogously, a function can be viewed as a machine whose row material is its input and the final product is output. In addition to f(x), other abbreviated symbols such as g(x) and P(x) are often used to represent functions of the independent variable x, especially when the nature of the function is unknown or unspecified.

SPH 100: MECHANICS I
Trending!
In physics we deal with physical quantities which are usually quantified by measuring. The process of measuring involves assigning a number to a physical quantity by comparing it with a standard. The standard quantity is called unit and used to measure the given physical quantity. For instance when we say the length is 5 m, it means the standard used is one meter ( 1 m) and
the length is 5 times of the standard length. A standard adopted as a unit should have the following features:
i) It must be universally acceptable and of reasonable size.
ii) Its magnitude must be definite and definable
iii) Its magnitude should not change with time, temperature and pressure i.e. it should be invariable and
iv) It should be reproducible.
