[edit] Mathematics [edit] Pi as irrational Aryabhata worked on the approximation for Pi (π)‚ and may have come to the conclusion that π is irrational. In the second part of the Aryabhatiyam (gaṇitapāda 10)‚ he writes: caturadhikam śatamaṣṭaguṇam dvāṣaṣṭistathā sahasrāṇām ayutadvayaviṣkambhasyāsanno vṛttapariṇāhaḥ. "Add four to 100‚ multiply by eight‚ and then add 62‚000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20‚000 can be approached."[12] This implies that the

This study is anchored on Dreyfus‚ Model of Skill Acquisition. The Dreyfus model describes how individuals progress through various levels in their acquisition of skills and subsumes ideas with regard to how individuals learn. Such a model is being accepted almost without debate from physicians to explain the ‘acquisition’ of clinical skills. This paper reviews such a model‚ discusses several controversial points‚ clarifies what kind of knowledge the model is about‚ and examines its coherence in

Heat transfer Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler object ("object" in this sense designating a complex collection of particles which is capable of storing energy in many different ways). When an object or fluid is at a different temperature than its surroundings or another object‚ transfer of thermal energy‚ also known as heat transfer‚ or heat exchange‚ occurs in such a way that the body and the surroundings reach thermal equilibrium‚ this means that
