  1. Using the variance of a sample to estimate the variance of a population.

  2. The focus of the lecture is on fluid dynamics and statics. Different properties are discussed, such as density and pressure. The Archimedes' Principle is introduced and demonstrated through a number of problems. The final topic of the lecture is Bernoulli's Equation.

  3. Professor Sylvia Ceyer continues her discussion on chemical equilibrium and external effects such as a change in volume, adding inert gas, and a change in temperature. Parameters are set for maximizing the yield of a reaction, and the Principle of Le Chatelier's is returned to. Hemoglobin is used as an example involved in a series of equilibrium reactions in response to oxygen pressure.

  4. When in search for a market, Worthington advises not to focus the company too early.  Though there is tremendous pressure in the beginning to focus, this is dangerous; once a company has defined a focus the decision is very hard to undo.  Worthington suggests waiting it out and seeing how the product develops before focusing.

  5. Sutton talks about several important factors that turn people into jerks. He describes how being around many aggressive people will transform a person into a jerk. He also explains how pressure is a key contributor in building jerk behavior.

  6. Ringold informs us that drugs for lowering blood pressure and those to lower cholesterol are among the leading pharmaceutical products today--and these are not treating a disease. The fundamental opportunity lies in the surrogate market, he says.

  7. Playing with the formula for variance of a population.

  8. Finding the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of a population voting for a candidate.

  9. Finding the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of a population voting for a candidate.

  10. Estimating the probability that the true population mean lies within a range around a sample mean.

  11. The nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented degree of urbanization, an increase in urban population growth relative to population growth generally. One of the chief consequences of this growth was class segregation, as the bourgeoisie and upper classes were forced to inhabit the same confined space as workers. Significantly, this had opposed effects in Europe, where the working classes typically inhabit the periphery of cities, and...more

  12. April 20, 2009 - Leonard Susskind explains how to calculate and define pressure, explores the formulas some of applications of Helm-Holtz free energy, and discusses the importance of the partition function.
