C Escher M C
1,089 wordsThough M. C. Escher contended that he knew virtually nothing about mathematics, even having gone as far as to declare that he was absolutely innocent of training or knowledge in the exact sciences, (Schattschneider 67), his art work commonly incorporates the use of many recognized elements of science and mathematics. It has been argued that Escher's natural accessibility and his popularity with young art patrons is due to the Escher's use of symmetry, his use of metamorphosis, and his focus on r...

Centuries Ago Long Time
760 wordsMathematical logic is something that has been around for a very long time. Centuries Ago Greek and other logicians tried to make sense out of mathematical proofs. As time went on other people tried to do the same thing but using only symbols and variables. But I will get into detail about that a little later. There is also something called set theory, which is related with this. In mathematical logic a lot of terms are used such as axiom and proofs. A lot of things in math can be proven, but the...

Concept Of God Origin Of The Universe
1,577 wordsPeriodically someone will say to me, "I don't understand how anyone can be an atheist. How else could one account for the origin of the universe itself?" The Christian apologist, Hugh Ross, makes an argument much like this. He argues first for the thesis that the universe had a beginning, the moment of the big bang. Second he assumes that there must be a cause for the big bang. Next, if all physical reality, including time and space, arise out of the big bang, then, whatever the cause may be for...

Celestial Bodies Heliocentric Theory
1,813 wordsGalileo Galileo and Heliocentric Theory In case Copernicus heliocentric theory is the triumph of a new experimental approach, Galileo's contribution to the acceptance of Copernican heliocentric theory shouldnt be underestimated. The matter at issue is that Copernican heliocentric theory in its original form contained no exact description of the orbits of celestial bodies and, then, had no convincing arguments to explain the inconceivability of the motion of the Earth. The first part of the task ...

Gender Differences In Mathematical Understanding Part 2
1,676 words... coordinating the mutual construction of success and failure' and that categories such as low achiever or learning disabled are 'positions in education that get filled by children' (pp. 152). Jo Boaler (2000), considered these ideas very significant because they relocate the focus, away from categories of people and the characteristics they bring, and towards a dynamic system that produces responses of achievement, underachievement, gender, culture, and class.

Twelfth Century Political Turmoil
2,645 wordsArabic Mathematics Everybody would agree that mathematics owes a great debt to the Arabs. Just as George Sarton, a famous Harvard professor of history and science wrote in his not less famous Introduction to the History of Science: From the second half of the eighth to the end of the eleventh century, Arabic was the scientific, the progressive language of mankind. When the West was sufficiently mature to feel the need of deeper knowledge, it turned its attention, first of all, not to the Greek s...

Number Theory Pierre De
2,128 wordsWhile Descartes was laying the foundations of analytical geometry, the same subject was occupying the attention of another and not less distinguished Frenchman. This was Pierre de Fermat, who was born near Montauban in 1601, and died at Castres on January 12, 1665. Fermat was the son of a leather-merchant, growing up being educated at home. He earned himself a name later in his life by making contacts with some of the most important people in mathematics during that time period. In this paper I ...

Mathematical Analysis B C
1,141 wordsBefore the time of recorded history, prehistoric people learned to count such things as the animals in their herds and flocks. They probably first used their fingers or pebbles to help keep track of small numbers. They learned to use the length of their hands and arms and other standards of measure. And they learned to use regular shapes when they molded pottery and chipped stone arrowheads. Since the prehistoric times, mathematics has come a long way. In this essay, I will try to sum up the dev...

3,095 wordsPythagoras of Samos is often described as the first pure mathematician. He is an extremely important figure in the development of mathematics yet we know relatively little about his mathematical achievements. Unlike many later Greek mathematicians, where at least we have some of the books which they wrote, we have nothing of Pythagoras writings. The society which he led, half religious and half scientific, followed a code of secrecy which certainly means that today Pythagoras is a mysterious fig...
