TRAIN YOUR BRAIN 2 INTRODUCTION What is Memory? Memory refers to a mental process that is used to gain‚ gather‚ and recover information. The information that is stored in our memory with the help of our senses will be processed by numerous systems all through our brain‚ and it will be accumulated for later use (Mason‚ 2003-2006). Gordon and Berger (2003) said that there are two basic kinds of memory: ordinary and intelligent memory. Ordinary memory is remembering specific names of people‚ time

Theorem” and Einstein’s equations‚ my previous perceptions changed drastically under the pressure of these simple but powerful notions. Following that impact‚ it became crucial for me to keep track of new advances in the field of geometry. Delving into the depths of geometry‚ I came to appreciate its connections with many topics which appeared unrelated at first sight. One of these connections‚ namely to Groups and Symmetries‚ became my the topic of my undergraduate thesis. The Classification of the

Introduction Bernhard Riemann was one of the top mathematicians of the eighteen hundreds. He is most well known for his his development of non-Euclidean geometry which is used today in physics and in the relativity theory. Summary of Riemann’s Life Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann was born on September 17th‚ 1826 in Breselenz‚ Germany to Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann and Charlotte Ebell.

+ to – or from – to +; and as many false [negative] roots as the number of times two + signs or two – signs are found in succession.” Analytic Geometry Descartes’ greatest contribution to mathematics was developing analytic geometry. The most basic definition of analytic geometry is applying algebra to geometry. Descartes established analytic geometry as “a way of visualizing algebraic formulas”. He developed the coordinate system as a “device to locate points on a plane”. The coordinate system

Despite Cummings’ affinity for avant-garde styles‚ much of his work is traditional. Many of his poems are sonnets‚ and he occasionally made use of the blues form and acrostics. Cummings’ poetry often deals with themes of love and nature‚ as well as the relationship of the individual to the masses and to the world. His poems are also often rife with satire. While his poetic forms‚ and even themes‚ show a close continuity with the romantic tradition‚ his work universally shows a particular idiosyncrasy

In “The White Devil” by Webster and “Paradise Lost Boox IX” by Milton there are a handful of characters that are driven by ambition. These characters often make foolish decisions to achieve their goals‚ often with consequences. Both Webster and Milton present ambition as a positive motivation but show that being over ambitious for personal gain has detrimental effects. In “The White Devil” Webster presents Flamineo as the most ambitious character in the play. He is driven by the personal goal of

MOLECULAR GEOMETRY Molecular geometry is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It determines several properties of a substance including its reactivity‚ polarity‚ phase of matter‚ color‚ magnetism‚ and biological activity.[1][2] The angles between bonds that an atom forms depend only weakly on the rest of molecule‚ i.e. they can be understood as approximately local and hence transferable properties. The specific three dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules
