100 identical balls are rolling along a straight line. They all have speed equal to v, but some of them might move in opposite directions. When two of them collide they immediately switch their direction and keep the speed v. What is the maximum number of collisions that can happen?  Let f(w) be a function of vector w Є RN, i.e. f(w) = 1+e Determine the first derivative and matrix of second derivatives off with respect to w.   Let A Є RN*N be a symmetric, positive definite matrix and bЄ RN a vector. If x ER, evaluate the integral Z(A,b) = e¯xAx+bx dx as a function of A and b. John throws a fair die with faces labelled 1 to 6. ⚫ He gains 10 points if the die shows 1. ⚫ He gains 1 point if the die shows 2 or 4. • No points are allocated otherwise. Let X be the random variable describing John's gain at each throw. Determine the variance of X.
