EUCLID: The Man Who Created a Math Class Euclid of Alexandria was born in about 325 BC. He is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his dissertation on mathematics. He was able to create "The Elements" which included the composition of many other famous mathematicians together. He began exploring math because he felt that he needed to compile certain things and fix certain postulates and theorems. His book included‚ many of Eudoxus’ theorems‚ he perfected many of Theaetetus’s

Pierre Fermat’s father was a wealthy leather merchant and second consul of Beaumont- de- Lomagne. Pierre had a brother and two sisters and was almost certainly brought up in the town of his birth. Although there is little evidence concerning his school education it must have been at the local Franciscan monastery. He attended the University of Toulouse before moving to Bordeaux in the second half of the 1620s. In Bordeaux he began his first serious mathematical researches and in 1629 he gave a

Activity #1 Activity Title: The PEP Cover- Geometrika‚ Physica‚ Energia Learning Target: To ask three questions as a guide in Physics learning and solving. It might be helpful to be guided by easy-to-remember keywords when faced with a physics problem‚ weather a classroom type or research problem. The PEP cover shows a hexagonal arrangement common in physics and bio chemistry to symbolize geometry (Geometrika). The ball and arrow symbolizes matter in motion (Physika). The radiating gradient

Cable Principle and its Applications. Important Terms v Optical Fiber: An optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications‚ which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communications. v Refraction: Refraction is

The Impact of Mathematics on the Physical Sciences Intro Many great mathematicians of the past had an impact on physical sciences. This paper will discuss the historical background‚ respective times‚ and contemporary and modern societal contributions of three of those mathematicians: Archimedes of Syracuse‚ Isaac Newton‚ and Leonhard Euler. Archimedes of Syracuse Archimedes was born in a Greek city-state of Syracuse‚ Sicily in 287 BC. He was killed during a Roman incursion in 212 BC during

intriguing class of supramolecular assembly that continues to receive considerable attention. The rational design of composite solid state materials has many potential applications in areas such as chemical preparation‚ crystals engineering and non linear optics. One tactic commonly employed in the synthesis of potential inclusion hosts is the incorporation of functional groups known to participate in relatively strong hydrogen bonding interactions (such as O-H‚ N-H and CO2H moieties) into rigid and bulky

Biography of a Mathematician Introduction Leonardo da Vinci was a great mathematician whose contributions to the discipline were immense‚ especially in the field of geometry. Besides being a mathematician‚ Leonardo da Vinci was a renowned painter‚ inventor‚ architect‚ and a student of scientific concepts (Cremante‚ Leonardo & Pedretti‚ 2005). Since Leonardo’s natural genius encompassed several disciplines‚ he personified the term “Renaissance man.” At present‚ Leonardo is best acknowledged for his
