Gnosticism is a much maligned and little understood discipline. Many believe that it is an extinct Christian heresy. In fact‚ it actually predates Judaism and Zoroastrianism. The most ancient Gnostic text that is available to us today was unearthed in the excavation of the ancient cities of Sumeria in what is now Iraq. The clay tablats of cuneiform writing containing the Epic of Gilgamesh and other literature form some of the earliest evidence of Gnostic discipline predating the founding of

number for “primality” has been known to be proven by Euclid in ancient Greece that there are in fact infinitely many primes. In such relations‚ a mathematician will describe in example two projects that use prime numbers‚ composite numbers and the quadratic formula to solve equations. From the projects section on page 397 of Mathematics in Our World‚ for Project One‚ the mathematician will work only equations ( a ) and ( c )‚ but complete each of the six steps (a-f) and for Project Two‚ the mathematician

13 March 2014 Early Philosophers “Pre-Socratic” or “Mythopoeic” thinkers? The Ancient Greek philosophers played a pivotal role in the shaping of the western philosophical tradition. The Ancient Greek philosophical tradition broke away from a mythological approach to explaining the world‚ and it initiated an approach based on reason and evidence. Initially concerned with explaining the entire cosmos (the universe seen as a well-ordered whole)‚ the Pre-Socratic philosophers strived to identify its

2000-1800 BC) and the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 1890 BC). All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem‚ which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry. The study of mathematics as a subject in its own right begins in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans‚ who coined the term "mathematics" from the ancient Greek μάθημα (mathema)‚ meaning "subject of instruction".

different amounts of mass to the cart and measured the changes in acceleration. From all of the data collected we concluded that force and acceleration have a direct‚ linear relationship. We also determined that mass and acceleration have an inverse‚ quadratic relationship. Background: When my lab partners and I started this lab‚ we came in knowing some background information on what we were doing and the concepts involved. We knew that we had to determine the relationships between acceleration

revealed the secret to Cardano in 1539‚ with the promise that he would never publish his discovery in his books. While teaching in Milan‚ he and one of his students and assistants‚ Ludovico Ferrari found a new solution for the cubic equation and the quadratic equation. However‚ both of the solutions required the use Tartagalia’s discovery in order to solve it. In 543‚ Cardano and his assistant traveled to Bologna‚ they came found a solution to the depressed cubic and immediately they published their
