Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) France Pascal was an outstanding genius who studied geometry as a child. At the age of sixteen he stated and proved Pascal’s Theorem‚ a fact relating any six points on any conic section. The Theorem is sometimes called the "Cat’s Cradle" or the "Mystic Hexagram." Pascal followed up this result by showing that each of Apollonius’ famous theorems about conic sections was a corollary of the Mystic Hexagram; along with Gérard Desargues (1591-1661)‚ he was a key pioneer

“A Titration Competition” – Lab #8 1. Since all solutions and aqueous solutions have their own pH‚ it is important for all glassware to be clean and dry before performing a titration. Even a slight trace of a different solution could alter the pH and give an inaccurate titration reading. If the glassware is not completely dry after rinsing‚ the small traces of water could make the solution more dilute than it should be thus changing its concentration. 2. Air bubbles in the burette tip is a

Interhost Solutions (IHS) utilized some business plans in starting the company. The founders set clear KPIs and make use of some business frameworks.
