Daniel Bernoulli (Groningen‚ 8 February 1700 – Basel‚ 8 March 1782) was aDutch-Swiss mathematician and was one of the many prominent mathematicians in theBernoulli family. He is particularly remembered for his applications of mathematics to mechanics‚ especially fluid mechanics‚ and for his pioneering work in probability andstatistics. Bernoulli’s work is still studied at length by many schools of science throughout the world. In Physics :- He is the earliest writer who attempted to formulate a kinetic

Modern society faces the problem of the repression of individuality in favor of a collective identity. However‚ at the University of Chicago‚ students are dedicated to creating and maintaining a prosperous environment built upon diversity and individual passion. At UChicago‚ I would be able to explore my passion for physics alongside various other aspects of my individual identity. It is this ability and the freedom to explore my own identity and intellectual pursuits that draw me closer and closer

While some historians argue than Islamic science is simply an extension of Greco-Roman science‚ the scientific advancements made by medieval Arabs were unique compared to their Greco-Roman ancestors and quite substantial compared to their European counterparts. The idea that Islamic science is simply a continuation of Greco-Roman science may come from the extensive translation efforts made from Islamic ruler Abbasid caliph al-Mamum in the ninth century. It is important to note that while a greater

André-Marie Ampère‚ a French physicist and mathematician‚ founded electromagnetism‚ which he called electrodynamics. He was born in Lyon‚ France during the French Enlightenment‚ on January 20‚ 1775. His father‚ Jean-Jacques Ampère‚ and mother‚ Jeanne Antoinette Desutières-Sarcey Ampère‚ believed André’s education should be without formal schooling‚ and allowed him to teach himself with their library. When he was twelve‚ he was able to teach himself advanced mathematics because of his access to books

“Since we cannot change reality‚ let us change the eyes which see reality” -Nikos Kazantzakis. Nicolaus Copernicus battled with the powerful church to change the minds that believed Earth is the center of the universe therefore he changed today’s reality. The heliocentric theory proposed in 1543 revolutionized the scientific world throughout Europe socially by sparking a scientific revolution and religiously by causing a major conflict between theologians and astronomers. The Idea of heliocentrism

Galileo Galilei was born on February 1‚ 1564‚ in Pisa‚ Italy. He was the first of six children born to Vincenzo Galilei‚ a well-known musician and music theorist‚ and Giulia Ammannati. In 1574‚ the family moved to Florence‚ where Galileo started his formal education. Galileo was a professor in mathematics‚ and pioneered observation of nature with long-lasting implications for the study of physics. Correspondingly‚ Galileo constructed a telescope and supported the Copernican theory‚ which supports

The north-south lines represent lines of longitude while the east-west lines represent lines of latitude. The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are both important lines of longitude‚ the first divides the planet into the western and eastern hemisphere at 0 degrees while the second is located at 180 degrees and separates two calendar dates. The equator‚ the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn are the three most important lines of latitude. The Equator is located at o degrees

A Pure Genius “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” (Einstein). Albert Einstein was an intelligent person who created many things that help us in today’s world. He was born March 14‚ 1879 in Ulm‚ Germany. He grew up in and attended school in Munich‚ Germany. Einstein got his first diploma at the Central School in Aarau‚ Switzerland‚ and soon after was automatically admitted into Federal Institute of Technology (FIT). Albert Einstein had a very mystical life with events

Galileo was an Italian scientist and scholar that made pioneering observations that laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. He made a point of saying that you have to do more than just think something is true‚ you have to do it to prove it. With this being one of his principles he made many contradictions of thee only theories at the time‚ Artistole’s mostly. With this he made some enemies but also tried to be true to his Catholic beliefs. His‚ at the time‚ bizarre experiments and methods

Mariah Mitchell was born in 1818. Mitchell grew up in Nantucket Massachusetts‚ she was the third oldest of ten children. Her father was the one who helped her with her interest in astronomy. At an early age Maria’s father “used stellar observations to check the accuracy of chronometers for Nantucket‚ Massachusetts‚ whalers and taught his children to use a sextant and reflecting telescope” (Sarah Zielinski‚ smithsonian.com). Maria got a good education at a “school at which her father was the master”
