TL;DR: In this paper, partial sum of infinite series and how they grow are discussed. But they do not discuss how the infinite series grows over time, nor how the series grows with respect to each other.
Abstract: (1977). Partial Sums of Infinite Series, and How They Grow. The American Mathematical Monthly: Vol. 84, No. 4, pp. 237-258.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the logic of equality is used to define the notion of equality in the Logic of Equality (LOPE). But this logic is not applicable to the problem of gender equality.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, Halley's Variation of Newton's Method is discussed and a discussion of its relation to the Halley Variation is presented, with a focus on Halley and Newton's method.
Abstract: (1977). On Halley's Variation of Newton's Method. The American Mathematical Monthly: Vol. 84, No. 9, pp. 726-728.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the Commutators and Commutator Subgroup were discussed. But they did not specify the subgroup's role in the Commutation Subgroup's decision making process.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this section, two master expositors lead us through many examples of such games, and introduce the theory that has been developed to deal with them.
Abstract: (1977). All Games Bright and Beautiful. The American Mathematical Monthly: Vol. 84, No. 6, pp. 417-434.


Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a note on the central limit theorem is given, and the Central Limit Theorem is shown to be true in terms of the central point theorem in the Euclidean space.
Abstract: (1977). A Note on the Central Limit Theorem. The American Mathematical Monthly: Vol. 84, No. 6, pp. 472-472.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative merits of various axioms and methods for congressional apportionment are discussed, including the Quota Method and various methods of congressional allocation, as well as its application in tax allocation.
Abstract: This paper answers criticisms recently leveled at the Quota Method for congressional apportionment, and reconsiders the relative merits of various axioms and methods.


Journal ArticleDOI
