Katherine G. Johnson is a mathematician who calculated the trajectories responsible for launching the first American into space. Katherine was born on August 26th‚ 1918 in White Sulfur Springs‚ West Virginia. As a child‚ Katherine loved to count and had a strong interest in numbers which led to her profound knowledge of mathematics. Her passion for numbers showed through her interest in advancing her education‚ she graduated from the eighth grade by the age of ten; then graduated from high school

The Enigma of the Fastest Path “Mathematics directs the flow of the universe‚ lurks behind its shapes and curves‚ holds the reins of everything from tiny atoms to the biggest stars.” ― Edward Frenkel‚ Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality I would often wonder what would it be like to travelling at the speed of light. It could possibly only be a mere aspiration because I realized that achieving that speed was close to impossible. Definitely not a job worthy of a 17-year-old. It is no espionage

What is the age an origin of our universe? The issue to be discussed in the following paper is the 3 theories of how the universe started‚ the Doppler Effect‚ the age of the universe‚ the origin of the universe‚ red shift/blue shift and dark matter/dark energy. The Doppler Effect is a change in frequency and wave length of a wave. It’s caused by the change in distance between the thing creating the wave and whatever it’s measuring‚ seeing and hearing the wave. The universe was created over 14

Ultra Thin Cloak Can Match Any Background! In the Movie Predator there was an Alien that would uses a Cloaking Device that would hide the Alien in Plain Sight‚ But the effect is far from Perfect‚ due to its attempt to conceal itself is Thwarted from the distortion of Light bending around it. Now‚ Researchers built an Ultrathin “Invisibility Cloak” that Gets around the Problem of Light Bending by turning objects into Flat‚ Perfect mirrors. Invisibility Cloaks are Designed to bend light around an

Summer Assignment Revision –Term 1 Grade:9 Answer as many as possible: 1) State universal law of gravitation. Express it mathematically. 2) Differentiate between G‘ and g‘ in tabular form. 3) (a) What is acceleration ? Write its unit. (b) Draw velocity-time graph‚ when an object has (i) uniformly accelerated velocity. (ii) uniformly retarded velocity. 4) Prove that if a body is thrown vertically upward‚ the time of ascent is equal to the time of descent. 5) The earth attracts the moon. Does the moon

It is better to convince people than to force them: DISAGREE/ Agree I would like to talk to you about today the topic “convincing people is better forcing them” and I am against this saying no forcing people is better but I also agree and saying that convincing Is better‚ please don’t get confused because in some cases it is truly better to force people but in some other cases it is better to convince all depending on the situation. There are a few ways to prove this point. One‚ forcing someone

Our universe is expanding by light years everyday. Before you can know how and why our universe is exponentially growing‚ Hubble’s law‚ it is imperative you learn the different scales humans use to measure distance‚ mass‚ and time in space. For distance‚ we primarily use light years‚ parsecs‚ and the astronomical unit. Even with these units of measurement there are subsets; parsecs can go to megaparsecs. Furthermore‚ mass varies from planet to planet due to the different gravitational pulls. Time

RS I believe that God doesn’t exist due to the fact that if there is a supposed omni-benevolent God then why is the world is full of so much evil and suffering? Evil and suffering comes in two forms Moral evil and Natural evil. Moral evil is caused by humans using their free will‚ for example‚ crimes such as murder‚ burglary and war. Natural evil is suffering that has not been caused by humans such as earthquakes‚ floods‚ volcanoes‚ cancers and so on and are therefore not caused by humans. These

By: Victor Hui Introduction Leonhard Euler was a ground-breaking Swiss mathematician and physicist from the 1700’s. He made many revolutionary discoveries. However‚ the one that caught my eye was his solution to the Basel Problem in the year 1734. The Basel problem was initially posed by an Italian mathematician by the name of Pietro Mengoli in the early 1640’s. This problem baffled the even the greatest minds at the time. Branching from mathematical analysis‚ the Basel problem involved knowledge
