It silently screamed wicked taunts at my nervous gaze, flawlessly manipulating what made me sweat the most. It knew how to take advantage of my fear, my dread of what awaited. Standing high on the wall, it's demonic face of 12 numbers and twitching hands tortured me with a snide smile. I arduously tried to avoid its evil glare and the way the spherical white face, splashed with ominous black numbers, la...

Also the Greeks, Ptolomy, came close to trigonometry but it was actually Al Battani who adopted the sine and cosine ratios which made the creation of the astronomical tables much easier. (Ronan 224) Even though the 9 th through the mid 10 th centuries were times of revolutionary improvements, the late 10 th through the early 12 th centuries were just as important. During this time improvements were made on previous discoveries of the Arabs as well as of course the ...

For example Euler credits Albrecht, Krafft and Lexell for their help with his 775 page work on the motion of the moon, published in 1772. Fuss helped Euler prepare over 250 articles for publication over a period on about seven years in which he acted as Euler's assistant, including an important work on insurance which was published in 1776. Yushkevich describes th...

Another consequence of Einstein's quantum research in this area was interest of the scientific community in quantum mechanics, a science Einstein would dismiss as too in deterministic. From these discoveries, Einstein was to receive a Nobel Prize. Einstein regarded his second paper of 1905 as relatively unimportant. In it, he calculated a way of determining the size of molecules and found a value for Avogadro's number. By ana...

Back In Time Second Law Of Thermodynamics
1,746 wordsThroughout the ages, outstanding physicists, to the movies, to some of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, have pondered the idea of time-travel. The thought of actually being able to travel to another time or universe has long since enthralled, enveloped, and overwhelmed some of the greatest minds in the history of physics. No one person can actually prove any of their theories, but a few actually make sense. Meaning that they do not violate the laws of physics. One of the main the...

Scientific Method Scientific Theories
2,278 wordsScientific Method Compared to Other Ways of Learning in the World The scientific method is the process by which scientists, collectively and over time, endeavor to construct an accurate (that is, reliable, consistent and non-arbitrary) representation of the world. Recognizing that personal and cultural beliefs influence both our perceptions and our interpretations of natural phenomena, we aim through the use of standard procedures and criteria to minimize those influences when developing a theor...

The term bit, today used to describe individual units of information processed by a computer, was coined from Shannon's research in the 1940 s. A Midwesterner, Claude Shannon was born in Gaylord, Michigan in 1916. From an early age, he showed an affinity for both engineering and mathematics, and graduated from M...

Analytic Geometry F X
355 wordsDescartes, Ren Ren Descartes was born on March 31, 1596 and died on February 11, 1650. Ren Descartes was a man of many things. He was a French mathematician, philosopher and scientist. He made contributions to the theory of equations and his rule of signs, but the most distinguished contribution that Descartes made to the world of mathematics was analytic geometry. Descartes contributed the La G om trie to analytic geometry in 1637. This was fated to become one of the most significant books in t...

In fact Paul Euler and Johann Bernoulli had both lived in Jacob Bernoulli's house while undergraduates at Basel. Paul Euler became a Protestant minister and married Margaret Bruce, the daughter of another Protestant minister. Their son Leonhard Euler was born in Basel, but the family moved to Riehen when he was one year old and it was in Riehen, no...

I am also investigating a man who only has 10 and 50 pence coins. I will start off with the woman. 10 pence call 10 = 10 p = 1 way 20 pence call 20 = 10 p+ 10 p 20 = 20 p = 2 ways 30 pence call 30 = 10 p+ 10 p+ 10 p 30 = 20 p+ 10 p = 3 ways 30 = 10 p+ 20 p 40 pence call 40 = 10 p+ 10 p+ 10 p+ 10 p 40 = 20 p+ 10 p+ 10 p 4...

20 Th Century Theoretical Physics
933 wordsPhysics + Dirac = poetry Who was the 20 th century's greatest English-speaking poet? TS Eliot, WB Yeats, Sylvia Plath? Not for me; my nomination is the theoretician Paul Dirac, honorary poet laureate of modern physics. It is a status he richly deserves because of his amazing ability to write down fundamental equations the poems of science. Whereas poetry uses highly-charged combinations of words, equations are the most succinct descriptions of the aspect of reality they describe. Dirac's most fa...

Big Bang Theory 20 Th Century
3,306 wordsAlbert Einsteins theory Relativity Relativity Albert Einsteins theory of relativity has caused major revolutions in physics and astronomy during the 20 th century. It introduced to science the concept of relativity the notion that there is no absolute motion in the universe, only relative motion thus superseding the 200 -year-old theory of mechanics of Isaac Newton. Einstein showed that we reside not in the flat, Euclidean space and uniform, absolute time of everyday experience, but in another e...

To understand the definition of chaos can be understood if broken down: A dynamical system may be defined to be a simplified model of the time-varying behavior of an actual system and an aperiodic behavior is the behavior that occurs when no variable describing the state of the system undergoes a regular repetition of values. An aperiodic behavior will never...

3,151 wordsI. Introduction 1. Theory of Black Holes Black holes are one of the least understood phenomenons in the galaxy yet the secrets contained within the black hole could revolutionize the field of physics. Black holes are formed when an enormously massive star, most likely a neutron star, collapses in on itself. This happens because when the star dies all the energy generated from the sun s fusion reaction that was formerly pushing outward suddenly stops. When the outward force stops, the sun has so ...
