evolved over a lengthy period with a number base of 60. It allowed arbitrarily large numbers and fractions to be represented and so proved to be the foundation of more high powered mathematical development. Number problems such as that of the Pythagorean triples (a,b,c) with a2+b2 = c2 were studied from at least 1700 BC. Systems of linear equations were studied in the context of solving number problems. Quadratic equations were also studied and these examples led to a type of numerical algebra. Geometric

there are no square numbers with a difference of anywhere near 1. Part 1: Aim: To investigate the family of Pythagorean Triplets where the shortest side (a) is an odd number and all three sides are positive integers. By putting the triplets I am provided with in a table, along with the next four sets, I can search for formulae or patterns connecting the three numbers.

estimations based on other historical events. Whatever we know about him is information learned after his death. Most of his writings were not published so we do not have many of his personal notes. Pythagoras is popularly known for his ligating the Pythagorean theorem used in geometry. It is reported that Pythagoras was born anywhere between 520 to 570 on the Samos island, which was part of Greece . His father's name was Mnesarchus, and he was a merchant while his mother's name was Pythias(School of
The History of the Pythagorean Theorem The Pythagorean Theorem is a named after a Greek mathematician and philosopher, named Pythagoras, but is he really the one who discovered the theorem? It?s kind of like the Crossover Dribble in basketball. Most people attribute the move to Allen Iverson, but when you look into the history of the crossover some say it began in a street basketball game by a guy named Richard Kirkland, some attribute it to Oscar Robertson in the 60?s, but it was definitely
QUESTION 1 The term Pythagorean triple is meant to explain that if three different positive integers, which each measure the distance of one side of a right angle triangle, (usually known as either a, b and c or side1, side2 and side3) fit the rule a2 + b2 = c2 then the combination of those numbers is a Pythagorean triple. The concept is only correct when the triangle used is a right angle triangle because there must be a hypotenuse across from the right angle. The demonstration used consists of
systems. However, one of the most important parts of Geometry is the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is the most important because it is one of the most commonly used theorems in Geometry and in all of math. The Pythagorean Theorem is as old as Geometry itself. It was developed by the Egyptians and Chinese and finalized by a Greek philosopher Pythagoras. It can also help solve many real world problems. The Pythagorean Theorem is fascinating because of who developed it, how it has affected
S. Gudder once wisely stated, “The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.” Many people have different views of mathematics and the role it plays in their life. There are some students who believe that learning mathematics is useless and is not a necessity for their major, and there are others who find math, arithmetic, and numbers easier to process. I find Gudder’s thoughts to be true based on my upbringings and recent experience
which is the Pythagorean Theorem, as the Law of Cosines is the generalization of the Pythagorean Theorem. Surprisingly, I found myself not familiar with the proving of the Pythagorean Theorem. I knew what the Pythagorean Theorem was, but never paid attention to how to prove it. Also, the connections between these two theorems (the Law of Cosines and Pythagorean Theorem) interested me as well. I decided I would try to discover the proofs of both theorems while using the Pythagorean Theorem to prove

Do you ever watch wrestling? Anything like WWE? TNA? Or NXT? Have you heard of the attitude era during a match or the show and have no idea what it is or who started it? Well, if you heard of the phrase the attitude era then you must have heard of the legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold, for short, has been in the wrestling industry since the 1990’s. Back in the 1990’s, the wrestling industry was called WWF which stands for world wrestling federation. During the attitude era, Stone Cold’s
When I was in my 1st year of high school, I decided to join the Debate Team of my school because it was one of the extra-curricular activities that really intrigued me. Being a new member, a lot of the methods the veterans of the team used in their speeches surprised me. Before, I thought that debate mostly involved insulting one’s opponent and making him seem stupid. However, I was proven very wrong as that not only fail to provide any substantial argument that would prove any point, but was also
Introduction: Chemical equilibrium is a crucial topic in Chemistry. To represent and model equilibrium, the thermodynamic concept of Free energy is usually used. For a multi-component system the Gibbs free energy is a function of Pressure, Temperature and quantity (mass, moles) of each component. If one of these parameters is changed, a state change to a more energetically favorable state will occur. This state has the lowest free energy. When the free energy of all states are equal to each other
two militaries “exchanged letters and visits which served to build up an expectation that they would consult and act together to support each other in moments of crisis.” The two even had “shared planning and strategies.” Opposing this bloc, the Triple Entente was also cooperating. Even though it was primarily aimed at defense, “within two years of signing the agreement of April 1904, plans were being made for common military action against Germany.” As a result of this cooperation and strengthening
The Ellipse, Parabola and Hyperbola Mathematicians, engineers and scientists encounter numerous functions in their work: polynomials, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions amongst them. However, throughout the history of science one group of functions, the conics, arise time and time again not only in the development of mathematical theory but also in practical applications. The conics were first studied by the Greek mathematician Apollonius more than 200 years BC. Essentially, the conics form
Trilateration is the process of determining absolute or relative locations of points by measurement of distances, using the geometry of circles, spheres or triangles. In addition to its interest as a geometric problem, trilateration does have practical applications in surveying and navigation, including global positioning systems (GPS). In contrast to triangulation, it does not involve the measurement of angles. In two-dimensional geometry, it is known that if a point lies on two circles, then the
In Chapter 2 of Journey Through Genius, titled “Euclid’s Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem,” the author, William Dunham begins by introducing the Greek contributions to mathematics. The first figure introduced, Plato, brought enthusiasm to the subject. He was not an actual mathematician; he was a philosopher. His main contribution to math was establishing the Academy, a center devoted to “learning and contemplation for talented scholars.” The Academy was mainly focused on mathematics and produced
together, you could obviously tell. All 3 poured there hearts into making this match, the classic that it is, with it's unpredictability and non stop excitement. In one of the greatest moments I have ever witnessed, Beniot wins the title, by making Triple H tap out. Beniot and Eddie celebrate afterwords, in a really touching moment. 5/5 Bottom line. Wrestlemania 20 is a great experience, and definitely one of my favorites, for many reasons. It deserves it's praise from all the wrestling fans
The Rock He is a three-time world wrestling federation champion and a two time intercontinental champion. He was born on May 2, 1972 is 6’5 and weighs 275 pounds. He goes by the name Dwayne Johnson, calls himself the “People’s Champion” and otherwise known as “The Rock.” Other than having the pretty face that Hollywood was looking for, The Rock had to go through many steps as an “actor” before he became well known. However, the rock graduated from the University of Miami as an all -American
“That which is accepted as knowledge today is sometimes discarded tomorrow.” The pursuit of any given knowledge may or may not change over time if contradictions are stated and proved. While looking at the pursuit of knowledge, the perception that focalizes on the specific subject can be seen as reliable or unreliable due to bias or reason. Knowledge is also different in different fields of study. The use of reason will define certain things for an eternity, while others are made out of emotion.
