Interstate highways typically follow a straight path between two points, which can be considered the linear distance. This can make linear distance shorter compared to non-interstate routes. Additionally, interstate highways are designed for high-speed travel, so they can reduce the time distance between two points by allowing for faster travel speeds compared to local roads. Overall, interstate highways can significantly decrease both linear distance and time distance for travelers.

The factor I prefer to use is relative size of government, and/or the control it exerts over the daily lives of it's citizenry.
I am considering taking a political inquiry class at UCSD next fall. I was wondering what exactly this type of class entails. The description says "Introduction to the logic of inference in social science and to quantitative analysis in political science and public policy including research design, data collection, data description and computer graphics, and the logic of statistical inference (including linear regression)." Can anyone put this is layman's terms?
It uses the principle of proportional control.A proportional control system is a type of linear feedback control system. Two classic mechanical examples are the toilet bowl float proportioning valve and the fly-ball governor. The proportional control system is more complex than an on-off control system like a thermostat, but simpler than a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control system used in something like an automobile cruise control.
