Newton was familiar with the meth- ods that these men used to find tangent lines, and their methods played a role in Newton’s eventual formulation of calculus.

The following references contain explanations of these methods. Read one or more of the references and write a report comparing the methods of either Fermat or Barrow to modern methods. In particular, use the method of Section 2.7 to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve yx+2x at the point (1, 3) and show how either Fermat or Barrow would have solved the same problem. Although you used derivatives and they did not, point out similarities between the methods.

Instructions: The monograph essay is a book analysis of one monograph listed in the syllabus. The goal of the essay is for you to read the book and critically evaluate the merits and the faults of the books argument or thesis. It is NOT a book report or a summary. You may wish to write a short summary of the reading to introduce your essay, but your grade on the assignment will come from your analysis.you should spend some time on the explanation of your analysis and critique. The following is a list of questions that you should answer at a minimum:What is the books argument/thesis/main point?
Is the argument/thesis/main point convincing?
How does the author(s) substantiate their claims? Use specific examples.

What sources did the author use to write the monograph and make their argument?
Were these sources adequate? This may require you to find some of the sources and evaluate them.
Your overall impressions of the monograph and its effectiveness.

Through what form of behaviors would a person going through depression indicate that he or she needs therapy?

Depression in later life is usually diagnosed on the basis of two clusters of symptoms: feelings and physical changes. Conduct more research on the topic of depression, and in a 2-3 page Word document address the following:How would you know if an elderly relative had clinical depression or was sad because of specific life changes and losses?

What kind of therapy would the student recommend and why? What are the consequences of depression in the elderly?

identify one specific contemporary issue or trend that you are interested in learning more about. Choose from the categories below.

For example you might want to learn more about why it is more difficult for some groups to receive care than others, which would fall under Client Access to Care. Or, you might want to compare nursing practice in the U.S. with how nurses practice in Japan, which would fall under the category of Global Healthcare and Nursing.Global Healthcare and Nursing

How would you test the reliability and validity of your measure?

Test Construction Project (in the form of a final paper)You will be asked to complete a final project for the course referred to as the Test Construction Project, that culminates the course materials into the application of creating your own psychological test based on the principles learned in this course (e.g., test construction, reliability/validity, utility). Students typically identify this project as being the most interesting component of the course!You will select a construct of interest in psychological testing and assessment in which you will submit a final paper and constructed test by Friday of Unit/Week 9 (at 5 p.m.). You will also be asked to submit a construct topic (e.g., Former student constructs have included Germaphobia, Internet Addiction, Postpartum Depression) and a rationale for choosing this topic (i.e., why you are choosing this construct and providing some citations from the literature reflecting its importance) by the end of Unit 4 . The instructor will then provide emailed individual feedback on these constructs.This paper requires that you also include five or more scholarly references to support your paper using scientific, peer-reviewed journals. Objectives for the project/paper:• Identify a construct of interest in psychological testing and assessment• What is the rationale for your instrument? (Using the literature)• Develop a measure to test your construct• What are considerations for reliability and validity? • What is the utility of your instrument?• What are future research directions and/or clinical considerations (e.g. cultural/ethical)

Write a well-written and clearly-organized essay on the hydrological process of the Great Lakes. Write on the mathematical models already existing for the Great Lakes.

Looking into contributions that may fluctuate the variables. Looking into the effects of urban areas and how they affect the Great Lake fluxes. Needs to be something similar to the Great Lakes Hydrology PDF uploaded in additional files. Your essay should contain pictures and diagrams of hydrological processes. Equations can be used to model these processes or the essay can be a descriptive review. Do not excessively cite from one book or publication.
