For example, in demographic studies generalised cumulative curves can represent the distribution of population or area. Generalised cumulative curves can be a valuable instrument for exploratory data analysis. The use of cumulative curves in an investigation of population statistics i...

Background Despite the prevalence and potential of K–12 engineering outreach programs, moment-to-moment dynamics educators' facilitation learning experiences are understudied.
