Ten Equations That Changed The World
TEN EQUATIONS THAT CHANGED THE WIRLD
The brightest minds in history have used mathematics to lay the foundation for how we measure and understand our universe. Time and time again, we have proved that it only takes one simple formula to alter the course of humanity. Here are ten equations that did just that.
ISSAC NEWTON'S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION
Newton's law explains why planets move the way they do, and how gravity works, both on earth and throughout the universe. First published in the Principal in July 1687, the Law of Universal Gravitation was the defector reference equation for nearly 200 years until Einstein's Theory of General Relativity replaced it.
ALBERT EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY
Einstein's most famous undertaking is the Generally Accepted Theory on …show more content…
It is a fundamental principle in Euclidean geometry, and the basis of the definition of distance between the two points. Pythagoras Theorem also describe the relationship between the side of a right triangle and a flat plain.
MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS
James clark maxwell's set of equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered, both by each other and by charges and currents. It was first published between 1861 and 1862.
THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Rudolf clausius law states that energy always flows from higher concentration to lower concentrations. It also states that whenever energy changes or moves, it become less useful. This law was formulated in 1865 which led to the development of Technologies like internal combustion engines, cryogenics and electricity generation.
LOGARITHMS
Logarithms were introduced by John Napier in the early 17th century as a way to simplify calculations. They answer the question, "How many of X number do we multiply to get Y number?" Logarithms were adopted by early navigators, scientists and engineers. Today scientific Calculation and digital computers do the work for us.
