Charles Kline McNeil [1] (16 August 1903 – 7 April 1981) [2] [3] was the inventor of the point spread in sports gambling. [4] [5] McNeil earned a Master's Degree from the University of Chicago. He then taught math at the Riverdale Country School in New York and at the Choate School in Connecticut. His students included John F. Kennedy.
Chapter 8 (The solution of equations of the fifth degree at the Wayback Machine (archived 31 March 2010)) gives a description of the solution of solvable quintics x 5 + cx + d. Victor S.

A point source as imaged by a system with negative (top), zero (center), and positive (bottom) spherical aberration. Images to the left are defocused toward the inside, images on the right toward the outside. The point spread function (PSF) describes the response of a focused optical imaging system to a point source or point object.

Holt, Rinehart and Winston – U.S. secondary (grades 6–12) publisher with a leading position in literature and language arts, the largest middle and secondary school ...
Distribution A is said to be a mean-preserving contraction of B if B is a mean-preserving spread of A. Ranking gambles by mean-preserving spreads is a special case of ranking gambles by second-order stochastic dominance – namely, the special case of equal means: If B is a mean-preserving spread of A, then A is second-order stochastically ...
As with spreads, the most well-studied case is partial spreads of lines of the finite projective space (,), where a full spread has size +. Mesner [ 29 ] showed that any partial spread of lines in P G ( 3 , q ) {\displaystyle PG(3,q)} with size greater than q 2 − q {\displaystyle q^{2}-{\sqrt {q}}} cannot be complete; indeed, it must be a ...
The North Carolina End of Grade Tests are the standardized tests given to students in grades 3 to 8 in North Carolina. Beyond grade 8, there are End of Course Tests for students in grades 9 to 12. The EOG is given to test skills in mathematics, English, and science. Students in grades 3 to 8 must take the mathematics and English End of Grade Tests.
The top grade, A, is given here for performance that exceeds the mean by more than 1.5 standard deviations, a B for performance between 0.5 and 1.5 standard deviations above the mean, and so on. [17] Regardless of the absolute performance of the students, the best score in the group receives a top grade and the worst score receives a failing grade.
