    A historical analysis of the independent development of calculus by Newton and Leibniz

    This paper undertakes a historical investigation of the separate and independent development of calculus by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz in the late 17th century. Through analysis of primary sources and historiographical perspectives, it explores the differences in notation, methods, and applications used by each mathematician to formulate foundational concepts of calculus. The research demonstrates that Newton relied more on geometric intuition, developing calculus concepts like fluxions and fluents rooted in kinematic problems. His 1687 Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica synthesized many calculus innovations. Meanwhile, Leibniz approached calculus from an algebraic mindset, utilizing infinitesimal differentials and comprehensively explaining integral and differential calculus in publications like Nova Methodus pro Maximis et Minimis. Evaluation of letters and documents from the 1670s and 1680s shows no direct collaboration or communication about calculus between Newton and Leibniz. This lack of transmission, coupled with the disparities in their notation and calculus techniques, provides evidence for independent creation. However, Newton and Leibniz shared key insights regarding rates of change, derivatives and integrals, hinting at a broader zeitgeist in early modern mathematics and science. Thus, this dual achievement illustrates how the Scientific Revolution facilitated conceptual convergence despite geographic separation between great thinkers. Investigating this case study offers perspective on the interplay between individual genius and wider social contexts in driving scientific progress. This paper concludes by assessing the legacy of the Newton-Leibniz debate over priority and analyzing work that paved the way for modern unified calculus notation and applications.

    Beyond the finite: An exploration of infinite-dimensional vector spaces

    In this paper, we delve deeply into the intricacies of linear algebra, with a focus on the progression from finite to infinite-dimensional vector spaces. Starting with the foundational concepts, we define vectors, vector spaces, linear combinations, and basis. The importance of infinite-dimensional vector spaces is emphasized, particularly their role in better understanding and modeling complex mathematical phenomena. Through well-illustrated examples, we guide the reader on how to validate if a given set can be classified as a vector space. Additionally, the methodology to identify bases for these vast spaces is discussed in detail. Reduction methods also play an important role in determining bases for infinite-dimensional spaces. In our conclusion, we reflect on the evolution from basic vector concepts to the more nuanced understanding of infinite dimensions. This progression not only deepens our understanding of vectors but also sets the stage for advanced investigations into linear relationships and transformations. By bridging the gap between elementary vector knowledge and advanced infinite-dimensional spaces, this paper makes a notable contribution to the ever-evolving field of linear algebra, serving as a valuable resource for both students and practitioners.

    The research of analysis lung, bronchus and trachea cancer death rate in US

    This research delves into an analysis of lung, bronchus, and trachea cancer rates in the United States across genders. Employing the data spanning seven decades (1950-2020) sourced from the Our World in Data website, the study leverages time series modeling techniques, ARIMA and ETS models. The ARIMA methodology initiates with an assessment of data stationarity, followed by differencing procedures to transform the dataset into a non-stationary data. Subsequently, Autocorrelation Function (ACF) and Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) plots are examined. Last, the ARIMA model is fitted to dissect the mortality rates among males and females. Simultaneously, the ETS model is directly applied to the mortality data of both genders. The components of the ETS model and the check residuals for ETS are delineated. The outcomes reveal the trends: both genders exhibit a discernible decline in lung, bronchus, and trachea cancer death rates over the period. Despite this downward trajectory, the persistent mortality rates underscore the gravity of the issue. This paper advocates for a heightened focus on lung-related cancers. Understanding and addressing these mortality rates are imperative.

    Application of dynamic models in forecasting the total population of the United States

    Dynamic models have been widely cited in predicting criminal population, residential electricity consumption, food prices and other objects. However, for total population predictions, dynamic models are rarely used. In this study, we will analyse the relationship between 13 variables such as CPI, grain prices, and medical expenditures and the total population of the United States, then combine it with the ARIMA model to generate a time series dynamic regression model. The conclusion is that, according to the parameters of the final model, two predictors (CPI and the number of crimes) and one interaction term (the product of the poverty rate and unemployment rate) are significantly related to changes in the population. Ultimately, the model performed well on the test set and was remarkably accurate for population prediction five years later. This report screens various factors influencing the total population and provides a broader background for applying dynamic models. In addition, this study also provides directions for subsequent research on more efficient dynamic models.

    Statistical forecasting of U.S. and Central African Republic net migration

    Immigration is a very important link in the current international society. This paper will study and predict the net immigration of the United States and the Central African Republic through two different models- drift model and ARIMA model, and to further explore the trends and influencing factors of migration between these countries. The results show that from 1960 to 2021, net migration from the United States and the Central African Republic showed very different trends. The United States, as a developed country, attracts a large number of immigrants from all over the world, while the Central African Republic, as a developing country, the flow of immigrants is mainly affected by economic, political and social factors in the region. Therefore, it can be seen that developing countries and developed countries have different impacts on the number of immigrants. This study provides a basis for further understanding of population migration and net migration of United States and Central African Republic.

    Research on the application of mathematical modeling in tumor immunology in the context of chemotherapy

    Cancer is not only a highly detrimental disease but also a particularly grave health concern. Moreover, the current incidence and mortality rates in our country are far from encouraging, making the prevention and control situation very challenging. Therefore, identifying the most scientific and effective treatment methods has become one of our primary research focuses. This paper, building upon previous models and incorporating resistance factors, categorizes tumor cells into those that are sensitive to chemotherapy drugs and those that become resistant. Using MATLAB, we have adjusted various sensitivity parameters in the model to simulate the number of tumor cells over 40 days. This simulation aims to analyze the sensitivity levels of tumor cells to different parameters upon the inclusion of resistance factors. The initial data used for the simulation were derived from the original paper. Ultimately, our findings indicate that tumor cells are most sensitive to the chemotherapy drug’s killing rate for normal tumor cells and the decay rate of the chemotherapy drug. Due to the drug resistance factor, the sensitivity of different parameters is influenced. For parameters related to chemotherapy drugs, the final results, when incorporating this factor, may deviate significantly from those of previous models without this factor. For instance, the decay rate of chemotherapy drugs might result in a larger total number of tumor cells or a steeper trend compared to previous findings.

    Dirac equation and its contribution to atomic fine structure

    This article aims to establish the comprehensiveness of the Dirac equation as an effective modification of quantum mechanics for the analysis of electrons and atomic fine structure. The Dirac equation is applied to investigate two scenarios involving electron interactions with different potentials. In the case where ϕ=0, the Dirac equation aligns naturally with electron theories and yields an electron gyromagnetic factor of g_s=2. With additional radiative corrections, it is possible to bring this value into closer proximity to experimental results. On the other hand, when considering spin-orbit coupling within a central field of V=(-e^2)⁄r, the spin-orbit Hamiltonian derived from the Dirac equation is shown to match calculations based on Larmor and Thomas interactions. These cases collectively demonstrate the superior utility of Dirac’s theory when dealing with spin-1/2 particles like electrons, underscoring Dirac’s historical success in addressing the complexities of the time. His achievements in elucidating atomic fine structure and spin-orbit coupling hold pivotal significance for advancing technologies rooted in these theories. However, it is important to note that the Dirac equation primarily remains valid in weak external field situations, as observed in electron orbital motion, while challenges persist in unifying it with general relativity in stronger external field contexts.

    Research on the selection of stock prediction models

    Against the backdrop of increasing attention to the integration of machine learning and stock analysis, stock prediction models are a hot topic. The question this paper is studying in this study is which stock prediction model is more accurate in predicting stocks. The method of this study is based on the stock prices of new energy vehicle leader Tesla Motors in the past three years as a data set, using a random forest model and an SVR model to predict the stock prices over the next 10 days. Based on the parameter MSE values of the training models of two stock prediction models, compare their sizes to determine the accuracy and stability of the models. This study found that the stock prediction results of the SVR model are more accurate and stable than those of the random forest model. Therefore, it is believed that the stock prediction model using the SVR method will have more market value and occupy an important position in the integration of machine learning and stock trading analysis.
