As a supportive literature device to figurative language‚ irony also played a crucial role in making “counting stars” become a literature work. Irony can be defined as the disparity between what it shows to be true and what is legit true. Irony provides the meaning of words or phrases‚ which usually have a different meaning from the actual meaning of those words or phrases ( “Irony- Examples and…”)This is also really interesting because the audiences can interpret this literature work in different

MATH PORTFOLIO NUMBER OF PIECES Kanishk Malhotra 003566-035 (May 2012) In physics and mathematics‚ the ‘DIMENSION’ of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify each point within it. Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it. A surface such as a plane or the surface of a cylinder or sphere has a dimension of two because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it (for

From this intellectual construction‚ other people (unbelievable but true) pick some maths entities and a priori decide to match them with some real world observations. These strange kind of people are called physicians‚ chemists‚ ... and applied maths engineers. We show in the next figure the conceptual links between several maths-based human activities that lead together to what is generaly called a ’mathematical model’ : NB : Human being is the key element
