Battleship Combinatorics

Here is a link to a project I did for Combinatorics during my Master's degree.

We had a lot of fun presenting our findings, after a lot of hard work using MatLab and our combinatorics and statistics skills to find the number of possible arrangements for the ships in the game of Battleship.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find my original MatLab code, but I'll post it if I find it!

Cleveland Neighborhoods, Venues, and Median Home Values

Image
Applied Data Science Capstone Lucas Gagne December 2019 Assigned by Coursera Please refer to my Jupyter Notebook to see the code and dataframes mentioned. Please refer to my Report for a downloadable pdf version of this post. Introduction In this project, we plan to leverage location and median home value estimate data in Cleveland, Ohio from Zillow and Foursquare API to determine any relationship between venues and the values of nearby homes.  This relationship is useful to city planners in determining zoning and its effect on home prices, as well as to commercial enterprises and the ideal locations for their businesses. Data First, Cleveland neighborhood data was pulled from Zillow.  The data was parsed into a dictionary from the original XML.  The dictionary was combed through to create a dataframe with the name, latitude, longitude, and 'Zindex' (median home value estimate) of each neighborhood.  Neighborhoods without 'Zindex' estimates wer...

Consumer Math Game

Here is a link to my website, hosted by PythonAnywhere.  Use the password 'guest'. I built this web application from scratch as a hobby project to teach myself the basics.  The goal was to use the game as a teaching resource for the high school consumer math class I currently teach.  The board game 'Life' ends with everybody a millionaire, so I wanted something a little more realistic so that students could see the consequences of their decisions (or lack of decisions).  I have introduced it to some of my students in the Intro to CS: Python class I facilitate, but mostly to show them what is possible with a little bit of grit.  It is a fully functional game, albeit with some bugs (and not a lot of polish).  So far it is not flashy enough for my Juniors and Seniors in consumer math, but I'll keep working on them! I learned a ton about Python, Flask, requests and the basics of web applications, HTML and CSS during this project, and there is a ton more ...

Applied Numerical Methods

The following are links to the presentation and paper for ANM I The following are links to the presentation and paper  for ANM II The above two projects were completed as a graduate student taking Applied Numerical Methods.  The projects (and class) were centered around using MatLab to solve differential and integral problems.  As the only graduate student in the group, I took a leadership role in both projects, organizing and delegating as necessary.
