Use Of Signal Detection Theory Signal Detection Theory: Detection theory or signal detection theory is a means to measure the ability to differentiate between information-bearing patterns (called stimulus in living organisms, signal in machines) and random patterns that distract from the information (called noise, consisting of background stimuli and random activity of the detection machine and of the nervous system of the operator). […]
What Is The Charge On A Proton? Charge Of A Proton: A proton is a subatomic particle with a positive electric charge. Protons are found in the nucleus of every atom. In fact, the number of protons in each atom is its atomic number. Until recently, the proton was considered a fundamental particle. However, new technologies have […]
The Doppler Effect Equation Doppler Effect Equation: What happens when an ambulance speeds past you? How does the sound of the siren change? It does get louder as it approaches, but another characteristic of sound changes also. The pitch is higher when it moves towards you (think a whining noise), and lower when it moves […]
Reflexive Property Of Equality Reflexive Property: If you look in a mirror, what do you see? Your reflection! You are seeing an image of yourself. You could look at the reflexive property of equality as when a number looks across an equal sign and sees a mirror image of itself! Reflexive pretty much means something […]

The Remainder Theorem Remainder Theorem: The Remainder Theorem is useful for evaluating polynomials at a given value of x, though it might not seem so, at least at first blush. This is because the tool is presented as a theorem with a proof, and you probably don’t feel ready for proofs at this stage in your […]
