Meg's brother, Charles Wallace, as written by L'Engle, is a sort of holy fool, a conspicuous exception among children, a prophet or seer endowed with great powers, while Meg is an ordinary type of math-and-science prodigy, distracted and adept, for whom he's a source of delight, complicity, and trouble.
We estimated the indirect effect of maths anxiety on cognitive reflection, quantified as the product of the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression coefficient estimating maths knowledge from maths anxiety (path a in Figure 1), and the OLS regression coefficient estimating cognitive reflection from maths knowledge controlling for math anxiety (path b in Figure 1).
When we do the math their way, it means that ordinary workers have even less to show from economic growth over the last three decades, since so many workers have lost pensions in this period.
And in my first semester I took a math course, an applied mathematics course in ordinary differential equations.
Canadian film-maker Zach Math comments that the American "is an ordinary guy but he has this quirk where he thinks of his penis as a separate entity from his body — Elmo.
We use the ordinary differential equation (ODE) stiff solver (ode15s) by MATLAB (The MathWorks, Natick, MA) to obtain the solution vector as a function of illumination time t from the start of illumination at t = 0 to 1800 (s).
Superstar lawyers and math whizzes and software entrepreneurs appear at first blush to lie outside ordinary experience.
We simulated the behavior of various models with Matlab (version 7.1; The MathWorks, Inc., Natick, MA), using the function ode45 for the solution of stiff ordinary differential equations.
In "Good Will Hunting," when Matt Damon, mopping the floor at a university, comes upon a complicated math problem on a blackboard and solves it, the audience suddenly realizes that he is not an ordinary janitor — that's a reversal, too.
