    Finding Gradients of Curves Introduction I am going to investigate the gradients of different curves and try to work out a pattern that I could use to find the gradient of any curve. I will draw graphs of a selection of curves, some by hand, some using Autograph and some using Excel. I will use three methods to investigate the graphs. Firstly, I will draw tangents to the curves at 4 or 5 points and measure the gradients. Secondly, I will draw chords between x = 1 and 4 or 5 points and

    to harder problems and by the end I hope to be able to find the possible arrangements for any given word. I will do this by using tables and lists of my results to show the possible combinations and make it easy to compare them and to spot the pattern and try and turn this into a general formula. Once the initial formulae have be en discovered I think that it should be much easier to determine the harder formula, as I will not need to write out as many tables, to work out these formulae

    introduced by McCulloch and Pitts and called neural networks. Neural network’s function is based on principle of extracting the uniqueness of patterns through trained machines to understand the extracted knowledge. Indeed, they gain their experiences from collected samples for known classes (patterns). Quick development of neural networks promotes concept of the pattern recognition by proposing intelligent systems such as handwriting recognition, speech recognition and face recognition. In particular, Problem
