Greek mathematician and philosopher. Pythagoras was responsible for important developments in the history of mathematics‚ astronomy‚ and the theory of music. The thing that Pythagoras is probably the most famous for is the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is used in the field of mathematics and it states the following: the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides. This means that if one makes a square (with all sides equal in

In today’s world‚ there are a multitude of mathematical theorems and formulas. One theorem that is particularly renowned is the Pythagorean Theorem. The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of any right triangle. While most people have heard of or even used the Pythagorean Theorem‚ many know little of the man who proved it. Pythagoras was born in 570 BC in Samos‚ Greece. His father‚ Mnesarchus‚ was a merchant from Tyre who traveled

Rock‚ walk x paces to the north‚ and then walk 2x - 4 paces to the east. If they share their information then they can find x and save a lot of digging. What is x? Given this scenario the Pythagorean Theorem would be the strategy we use to solve for x. I started off with the Pythagorean Theorem. I then plugged the binomials into the Pyth. Thrm. Next I moved (2+6)^2 to le left of the equation by subtracting (2x+6)^2 from both sides. I then squared the expression Next I foiled the expression

Vyas who is an expert in Geometry‚ informed that how the basic knowledge of Geometry should be applied to solve Olympiad level problems. With the help of Euler’s theorem‚ which is about the concept of 9 point circle in a triangle and Carpet theorem‚ he explained how basic knowledge of junior classes may be used to prove such theorems and Olympiad level questions. In the third lecture Prof. Rawal‚ who is an expert of Vedic Mathematics taught about solving of algebraic equations in two

The Neolithic Revolution and the Renaissance provided mankind with new ways of life. Although these advancements in architecture‚ agriculture‚ education and ideas transpired in different periods of history‚ they both had massive effects on our way of life today. Without these revolutions‚ our lives today would be unrecognizable. Life was drastically different before the Neolithic Revolution. During the Paleolithic Period‚ people were nomads. They lived in groups of 20-30‚ and survived solely

properties of actual procedures for aggregating preferences via voting rules. The problem is finding a social choice function that satisfies normative criteria and establishing equilibrium under voting rules. (Mueller‚ 3‚ 1989) Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem set out to prove that democratic social choice processes were inherently flawed and had no way to be fixed. In order for a person to vote there must be a social welfare function that satisfies unrestricted domain‚ positive association‚ independence

One of her theorems was the Chaos Theorem. She was one of the first people to work on this complex theorem. She worked with John Littlewood for many years to come. Cartwright worked with John Littlewood on the internal functions of zero. Mary Cartwright and John Littlewood also worked to find the solutions of the nonlinear radio amplifier in the 1940s. Nonlinear radio amplifiers were used by army men. This theorem contributed to the development of radios in World
