Artificial Intelligence Sensory Input
2,535 wordsArtificial Intelligence is based in the view that the only way to prove you know the mind's causal properties is to build it. In its purest form, AI research seeks to create an automaton possessing human intellectual capabilities and eventually, consciousness. There is no current theory of human consciousness which is widely accepted, yet AI pioneers like Hans Moravec enthusiastically postulate that in the next century, machines will either surpass human intelligence, or human beings will become...

Law Of Motion Universal Gravitation
729 wordsMediaeval understanding of science had mostly based Aristotle; Aristotle's ideas held for thousands of years until the scientific revolution begin breaking them off. It is Newton helped the transformation of natural philosophy into modern science. Newton established the science of mechanics and laid the groundwork for classical physics with law of motion he discovered. These principles might seem obvious and simple to todays physicists, but this was a new way of thinking in Newtons time. Instead...

Planets Revolved Mathematical Descriptions Galileo
314 wordsGalileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. Galileo pioneered "experimental scientific method, " and was the first to use a refracting telescope to make important astronomical discoveries. In 1604 Galileo learned of the invention of the telescope in Holland. From the barest description he constructed a vastly superior model. With it he made a series of profound discoveries, including the moons of planet Jupiter and the phases of the planet Venus (similar to those of Earth's moo...

Mathematical Principles Natural Philosophy
500 wordsAt his birth on Christmas day, 1642, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, Newton was so tiny and frail that he was not expected to live. Yet despite his boyhood frailty, he lived to the age of 85. As a delicate child, he was a loner, interested more in reading, solving mathematical problems, and mechanical tinkering than in taking part in the usual boyish activities. Until the time Newton entered Cambridge University in 1661, there was little inkling as to his mental prowess. His shyness kept ...

True Or False Nature Of Reality
1,904 wordsThe question as to whether scientific theories can be shown to be true or false is a complex one. The answer depends on one's interpretation of the meaning of theory. To what does it refer? Is its role to reveal the nature of reality, or is it merely a human construct? In which case what do we mean by truth? Is it an accurate description of reality, or does it simply refer to a successful theory that produces accurate predictions? Duhem attacks this problem from a very strict non-metaphysical st...

Critique Of Marxian Economics
1,228 wordsJon Elster concluded his Making Sense of Marx with the claim that It is not possible today, morally or intellectually, to be a Marxist in the traditional sense (1985, p. 531). Acceptance of this statement depends, of course, on what is meant by traditional Marxism. Elster makes it clear that what he means by traditional Marxism is that intellectually bankrupt and non-scientific economic theory associated with the labor theory of value, the theory of the falling rate of profit, and the most impor...

Mcgartland Amp Polgar Mcgartland Amp Polgar 1994 Method
658 wordsIn a world driven by experience, the quest to find the best method and approach to scientific and psychological studies continues. Mcgartland and Polgar (1994) contend that psychology can be clearly seen to have two distinct methods of investigation- 1) The empirical- mathematical and 2) the culture interpretive method. In recognizing this, it is still often the empirical-mathematical approach that is dominantly used and the commitment to this method has, according to Mcgartland & Polgar (19...

1,937 wordsCalculus is a powerful field of mathematics. Through the years, Calculus has been used to figure out extremely complicated and time-consuming problems in the fields of Physics and Engineering. The field of Calculus is divided into two major groups. The two groups are Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus. In Differential Calculus, the function is presented and the derivative or rate of change must be computed, while in Integral Calculus the derivative is given and the function must be comp...
