Geometry in everyday life Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300bc‚ when the Greek mathematician‚ Euclid gathered what was known at the time; added original work of his own and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called Elements. Geometry was recognized to be not just for mathematicians. Anyone can benefit from the basic learning of geometry‚ which is to follow the lines reasoning. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and is concerned with questions of shape‚ size and relative

Contributions of the Six Giants Thales of Miletus * He founded the geometry of lines‚ so is given credit for introducing abstract geometry. * Developed the first general theorems in geometry. * He was the first to demonstrate the truth of geometric relationship by showing that it flowed in a logical and orderly fashion from a set of universally accepted axioms called postulates Pythagoras

For those who are unaware‚ at least 1 and 2 are thanks to Georg Cantor and his invention of set theory. He had to endure a lot of resistance from the mathematical luminaries of his day - Kronecker and apparently‚ even Poincaré! Like Nietzsche‚ he died in a mental institution‚ the vicious attacks on his ideas (mostly by Kronecker) having supposedly played a part in Cantor’s breakdown. His mathematical ideas also ran afoul of some religious "philosophers" who‚ as is usually the case‚ are never ever

Mathematics in medieval Islam 1 Mathematics in medieval Islam In the history of mathematics‚ mathematics in medieval Islam‚ often termed Islamic mathematics or Arabic mathematics‚ is the mathematics developed in the Islamic world between 622 and 1600‚ during what is known as the Islamic Golden Age‚ in that part of the world where Islam was the dominant religion. Islamic science and mathematics flourished under the Islamic caliphate (also known as the Islamic Empire) established across the

Geometric constructions involve drawing geometric shapes that satisfy certain requirements (onlinemathlearning.com). The main focus in construction is on equidistance and co-linearity. This is done through the use of certain tools namely the compass and the straight edge. It is used to construct angles‚ planes figures and segments. This mathematical skill is applicable in many fields such as architecture‚ engineering and construction just to name a few. Base on the fact that geometric construction

Mathematician Essay Per.2 Jakob Steiner Born 1796 in Switzerland this mathematician had hopes of renovating the classic methods of geometry. Living to the ripe old age of 67 he accomplished just that. He often succeeded in his quest using “Pure Geometry”. Jakob wrote "Calculating replaces thinking while geometry stimulates it." Jakob’s contributions to geometry renovated the classic ways of solving geometric problems. One of Jakob’s greater mathematical achievements was the discovery of the
