. 3 Page 26.10.42 Three-Dimensional MomentsGiven a three-dimensional density distribution function f (x, y, z), the (p+q+r)order moments are defined in terms of the Riemann integral as: +∞ +∞ +∞ mpqr = rxp ryq rzr f (x, y, z)dxdydz −∞ −∞ −∞ where ri is the normal distance to axis i, i = x, y, z, and p, q, r = 0, 1, 2, ... The integration extends over the domain of f . For an object with limitedvolume in the x, y, z space, the integration extends over the volume of theobject. The second order moments about x,y, and z axes, i.e., p

another. One defining characteristic of an ODE is thatits derivatives are a function of one independent variable. The order of a differential equationis defined as the order of the highest derivative appearing in the equation and ODE can be ofany order. A general form of a first-order ODE can be written in the formdy/dx + p(x)y + q(x) + r = 0where p(x) and q(x) are functions of x. This equation can be rewritten as shown belowd/dx(y) +y p(x) = - q(x) - rwhere r is zero. A classical integrating factor method can be used for solving this lineardifferential equation of first order. The integrating factor is (exp)^∫p dx.Euler MethodGraphical methods produce plots of solutions to first order differential equations of the form y’ = f(x,y), where the

part of the work is supported by the Undergraduate Research Associates Programof the University of Southern California. Our data comes from a challenging university-leveloperating systems course that offers enrollment for both graduates and undergraduates. Theseforums provide an aid to students when they are away from the classroom, allowing them thebenefits of referencing solutions to similar problems and having their own addressed. Working inteams, students may come in contact with others from their group, those from outside their group,and also with the professor. Eight project forums from two semesters divide up the 418 threads(the whole containing 1841 posts) in our data. Each thread is modeled in a “Q&A” style ofdiscussion, linked up

of refreshments available throughout the day. ● Leave meals unscheduled. Attendees want to have at least that much time to chat, compare notes, and socialize; working lunches cause them to engage in these social activities at other times, displacing scheduled activities to do so. ● Avoid scheduling important content in evening presentations. Short conversations, tours, and Q&A with industry partners go over well, but content-driven talks are best restricted to daytime sessions. ● Do not schedule long days. Intense scheduling results in weariness and prevents the networking and goal setting that helps the attendees in the long run. We found that the longest appropriate daily schedule is six hours of
