Rene Descartes Rene Descartes was a brilliant man. His works on philosophy‚ physics and mathematics are still heavily influenced much to all of these studies today in our modern world. Descartes was born in March 31‚ 1596 in La Haye‚ France; he was named after one of his godfathers‚ Rene Bruchard des Funtaines. Descartes parents were Joachim and Jeanne Descartes‚ he also had one brother and one sister and two half siblings. Growing up Descartes had health issues “infirmity of the lungs‚ (Rene

Archimedes of Syracuse (pronounced ar-ka-meed-eez) He is considered one of the greatest mathematicians in history. In fact‚ he is believed to be one of the three greatest mathematicians along with Isaac Newton and Carl Gauss. His greatest contributions to mathematics were in the area of Geometry. Archimedes was also an accomplished engineer and an inventor. He was believed to have been obsessed with Geometry though. Archimedes was born in Syracuse‚ Greece in 287 BC and died 212 BC after being

structures with geometrical variations on the length scale of the wavelength of the radiation. The interatomic distances in crystals and molecules amount to 0.15–0.4 nm which correspond in the electromagnetic spectrum with the wavelength of x-rays having photon energies between 3 and 8 keV. Accordingly‚ phenomena like constructive and destructive interference should become observable when crystalline and molecular structures are exposed to x-rays. In the following sections‚ firstly‚ the geometrical constraints

Trigonometry Trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon "triangle" + metron "measure"[1]) is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between the lengths of their sides and the angles between those sides. Trigonometry defines the trigonometric functions‚ which describe those relationships and have applicability to cyclicalphenomena‚ such as waves. The field evolved during the third century BC as a branch of geometry used extensively for astronomical studies.[2] It is also the

theory of mathematics called Geometrical Music Theory. Clifton Callender‚ Ian Quinn‚ and Dmitri Tymoczko‚ who attended Florida State‚ Yale‚ and Princeton Universities respectively‚ created this method of music analyzing. Geometrical music theory is based on the mathematics locked within the structure of music. Their theory is based on their research that shows that “musical operations‚ such as transpositions‚ can be expressed as symmetries of n-dimensional space (Geometrical Music Theory‚ par. 3).” Scales

other geometrical shapes that lie on the same plane are said to be Coplanar. More about Coplanar * Parallel lines in three-dimensional space are coplanar‚ but skew lines are not. Example of Coplanar * All the points A‚ B‚ C‚ and D in the plane P are coplanar. Non Coplanar Definition Introduction to non-coplanar points: The points which do not lie in the same plane or geometrical plane are called as non-coplanar points. Any 3 points can be enclosed by one plane or geometrical plane

Although Islamic art manifests in a wide range of forms from writings‚ tilling to ritual objects‚ great similarities can be found in these diverse forms. These art works are highly coherent in terms of aesthetics‚ motifs‚ and religious purposes. The Islamic art throughout the early period (ca.500-ca
