The logical extension of discrete mass systems is one of an infinite number of masses. In the limit, this is a continuous system. Take the generalized beam-column as a generic representation:

Generating functions Generating functions are one of the most surprising, useful, and clever inventions in discrete math. Roughly speaking, generating functions transform problems about se- quences into problems about functions. This is great because weve got piles of mathe- matical machinery for manipulating functions. Thanks to generating functions, we can

Phase and Group Delays The output y[n] of a frequency-selective LTI discrete-time system with a frequency response(@) exhibits some delay relative to the input x[n] caused by the nonzero phase response 0(@) =arg{()} of the system

Introduction The consumption-based model as a complete answer to most asset pricing question in principle, does not work well in practice; This observation motivates effects to tie the discount factor m to other data; Linear factor pricing models are most popular models of this sort in finance; They dominate discrete-time empirical work

Basic Probability Concepts: Sample Spaces and Events, Simple Probability, and Joint Probability(联合概率) Conditional Probability(条件概率) Bayesian Theorem(贝叶斯定理) .The Probability of a Discrete Random Variable .Binomial, Poisson, and Hypergeometric Distributions Covariance(协方差) and its Applications in Finance

Mesd Heuristic Search Techniques 16888 2S0.77 Main Motivation for Heuristic Techniques: (1)To deal with local optima and not get trapped in them (2)To allow optimization for systems, where the design variables are not only continuous, but discrete

single-gene disorder or monogenic disorder Some disorders result when a mutation causes the product of a single gene to be altered or missing. These disorders are inherited in simple patterns similar to or identical with those described by Mendel for certain discrete characteristics in garden peas. Therefore it's also called mendelian diseases

Have considered the vibrational behavior of a discrete system. How does one use this for a continuous structure? First need the concept of..... Influence Coefficients

What is Object-Oriented? Object orientation is an approach to software development that organizes both the problem ane nd its solution as a collection of discrete objects
