.... optics. Finding the tangent to a given curve at a specific point allows us to determine at what angle a light ray strikes a lens, which is also important in determining the direction a moving body is travelling. Calculus is used in maximum-minimum problems such as ballistics. It allows us to determine the maximum range of a canon or other projectile instrument. Plotting the path of a trajectory is all done using Calculus as well. This is a very important application used by the defense department for satellites and launches such as missiles. When asked the type of course work .....

.... and transactions are kept on paper and so an auditor has clear and documented proof of what has transpired. Computerized systems rarely have a clear paper trail to follow. Since computers do all of the sorting of the information the company rarely sorts the source documents.

.... households have a telephone, and there are more than 15 million telephone lines for a population of nearly 27 million(Dept. of Communications, 1992, p7). It is therefore not surprising that Canadians are among the biggest users of telecommunications in the world. For example, in 1990, Canadians made more than three billion long-distance calls (Dept. of Communications, 1992, p8). Innovations made possible through telecommunications have also contributed significantly to the phenomenal growth of the Canadian telecommunications industry. For example, the total value of the maj .....
