Who Gave You The Epsilon Analysis
The article, “Who Gave You the Epsilon? Cauchy and the Origins of Rigorous Calculus” by Dr. Judith V. Grabiner talks about the beginning of rigorous Calculus and how and why it was developed. Dr.Grabiner starts out by discussing the origins of Calculus and shows how Calculus did not need rigor during its inception in the 18th century. The founders of Calculus, Leibniz and Newton, and other mathematicians in their era seemingly did not care for rigor since they only thought Calculus as a tool to solve many problems. Since Calculus worked in their favor, they had no reason to worry about its foundation. The author also mentions the counterintuitiveness of Cauchy’s works on rigorous Calculus but acknowledges his brilliance in giving Calculus more

    Joseph-Louis Lagrange

    Lagrange's interest in mathematics began when he read a copy of Halley's 1693 work on the use of algebra in optics. He was also attracted to physics by the excellent teaching of Beccaria at the College of Turin and he decided to make a career for himself in mathematics. Perhaps the world of mathematics has to thank Lagrange's father for his unsound financial…

    Why Try Anything By Costica Bradatan Analysis

    Costica Bradatan, in his essay “Why Try Anything? A Meditation on Procrastination” (09.18.2016), suggests that procrastination is the result of “an anxiety of creation,” and that a procrastinator’s inaction is the result of being, “smitten by the perfect picture of that which is yet to be born.” Bradatan supports this claim by aligning the act of procrastination with a series of examples – historical (an anecdote about a mosque architect who, at thought of his design decaying with time, couldn’t bare to have his creation built), religious (early Gnostics who believed “the highest attribute of divinity is in its inexistence”), and philosophical (E.M. Cioran who believed “the catastrophe of birth” is worse than death). Bradatan’s purpose is…

    Gerald Graff They Say I Say Analysis

    Steven ParlettReading Response #1English 112 – F1627 January, 2016Graff’s Guide to WritingGerald Graff’s third edition book “They Say/ I say” gives helpful insight for college levelor even beginner level writers. From chapter one towards three there are numerous “templates” Graff uses to express his ideas on how to better a writers credibility towards claims, arguments, research, or practically anything a writer would need to pull information from an outside source. Basically, the one template he wants known the most is the, “’they say _____ ; I say _____’ formula” (Graff 3). To summarize most of what Gerald had to say about this template for writers,is to use it when a writer wants to use either someone’s words or information that that does not originate from themselves; and with…

    Analytical Paper 1

    If women who were captured by Indians sometimes chose to go back to their captors, my opinion is that this was most likely caused by the fact that in the British colonies, women were stuck in a world of subjugation. They may have found life in another culture such as the Native American tribes fairer, or at least more tolerable to live in, if they were accepted. I formed this idea from the evidence in the text in which I repeatedly found the female colonists were second-class as a usual practice in most colonies. Even the small amount ‘man’s work’ women were sometimes doing was limited to fieldwork, and only if labor was scarce.…

    Who Can We Trust Analysis

    Rowan Williams begins his book by discussing the topic of “Who Can We Trust?”, which seems to be a common question of society today. Williams points out that we are mistrustful of strangers, education systems, and the government. He narrows this issue down to one thing: a fear of not being in control. We have become accustomed to thinking that if someone else is pulling the strings, they don’t have our best interests in sight, only their own. Williams uses this to transition to a discussion of what the first sentence of the Apostles Creed means. He explains the deeper meaning of the “I believe” statement by telling the story of the blind man who is healed by Jesus. When Jesus asked him if he believed he was truly asking the…

    Jesus I Never Knew Analysis

    In "yancey's "book Jesus I never knew" in the last chapter titled "what he left behind". When I first read the title I could releate a lot to this title. I remember after graduating high school I was at home applying to college. My little cousin was in elementary school she brought her assignment from her Christian religious study class and one of the question was "what did Jesus leave behind for us?" my little cousin said to me "what's the answer" I said "he left so many things behind for us to know that he came to this world he left the church and so many things." she said "I don't believe you at least he should have left something I can see and know he was and things he did on earth" I felt really sad I couldn't explain much to her…

Palacio, and Quarta, from The Girl who was Born with only Two Arms and Two Legs by Stuart Baum. First of all, they both have physical deformations and that makes it hard for them to fit in.

    Real Number

    These descriptions of the real numbers are not sufficiently rigorous by the modern standards of pure mathematics. The discovery of a suitably rigorous definition of the real numbers — indeed, the realization that a better definition was needed — was one of the most important developments of 19th century mathematics. The currently standard axiomatic definition is that real numbers form the unique complete totally ordered field (R,+,·,<), up to isomorphism,[1] Whereas popular constructive definitions of real numbers include declaring them as equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers, Dedekind cuts, or certain infinite "decimal representations", together with precise interpretations for the arithmetic operations and the order relation. These definitions are equivalent in the realm of classical mathematics.…
