World War Ii Vacuum Tubes
1,137 wordsSince the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, people wanted and needed an easier way of calculating and measuring. Through the dreams of Charles Babbage, the computer was born. These new machines could do any regular math more than twice as fast as any human. Sadly, these ideas were not appreciated until almost one hundred years later. In the 1950 's, the idea of computers was brought up again. This is when people finally started crediting Babbage's work. The technology available now made it...

Thales Of Miletus A Brief History
851 wordsThe first thing I would like to say before I start this paper on Thales is that when dealing with ancient Greek mathemetitions, any "facts" you may uncover are really just educated guesses. The reason for this is, because all records back then were kept on cuneiform tablets. These tablets just did not hold up well over time, and were destroyed before anyone could really make a lasting, permanent record of his life and studies. (2) With this being said, let me share with you some of my findings o...

Alien Beings Find Ship
704 wordsIf up until now I have been saying about each book that it was the best book I have ever read, I was lying... because compared with this book they all come down to nothing. For four days I have been reading non stop all 370, or so, pages and that's a first for me in English or Hebrew. Highly recommended to all si-fi fans out-there. I find it hard to condense the plot of 370 pages to just a few pages, however, I will try my best. It all starts in mid-ocean, a group of scientists, each a specialis...

Lot From This Project Learn A Lot Galileo
1,021 wordsI hope that I will learn a lot from this project. Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa on the 18 th of February in 1564. His father, Vincenzo Galilei, belonged to a noble family and had gained some distinction as a musician and a mathematician. At an early age, Galileo wanted to learn both mathematical and mechanical types of things, but his parents, wishing to turn him aside from studies, which promised no important return, steered him toward some sort of medical profession. But this had no effect ...

Genetically Engineered Chaos Theory
1,117 wordsPark 'Nature won't be stopped... or blamed for what happens' (Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton). Jurassic Park mystifies its critique even as it makes it; or rather, to be more precise, it offers us contradictory messages about whom to blame for what goes wrong. Science finally takes the blame. Near the end of the book, while the humans are fighting off the velociraptors, Malcolm (the mathematician) delivers a long and didactic speech about how science is to blame for messing up th...

Enlightenment Period De L
678 wordsJean Le Rond d Alembert Quote: Thus metaphysics and mathematics are, among all the sciences that belong to reason, those in which imagination has the greatest role. I beg pardon of those delicate spirits who are detractors of mathematics for saying this. The imagination in a mathematician who creates makes no less difference than in a poet who invents. Of all the great men of antiquity, Archimedes may be the one who most deserves to be placed beside Homer. (Discours Preliminaire de L Encyclopedi...
