Complexity Theory in Educational Administration
Introduction Complexity theory is closely linked to chaos theory, this theory studies systems that are very complex to precisely forecast their future, but nonetheless show fundamental patterns which can assist us to deal with this increasingly complex world. Science typically examines the world by breaking it into smaller and smaller pieces so as to understand…

Aspects of Mathematical Functions
A mathematical function, often symbolized by f(x), defines a relationship between the input variables and the expected output. One property that makes a function accurate is that one input variable only gives a specific output value, of which the reverse would also give the variable input. Although a function is often represented by f(x), other…
