It is difficult to value the role of scientific invention of the second half of XX century. But we shouldn’t forget that it is would have been impossible without countless ideas and inventions which mankind had made before. Every minute of our life is history in the making. Nowadays technical progress is developing so fast‚ that people who lived 50 years ago even couldn’t imagine our modern way of life. They couldn’t realize things‚ which is widespread and habitual for us. Today’s events can soon

A mathematician is a person whose primary area study is the field of mathematics. Mathematicians are concerned with logic‚ space‚ transformations‚ numbers and more general ideas which encompass these concepts. Some notable mathematicians include Archimedes of Syracuse‚ Leonhard Paul Euler‚ Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss‚ Johann Bernoulli‚ Jacob Bernoulli‚ Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī‚ Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann‚ Gottfried Leibniz‚ Euclid of Alexandria‚ Jules Henri Poincaré‚ Srinivasa Ramanujan

Archimedes once said “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it‚ and I shall move the world..” Archimedes is considered to be one of the greatest ancient mathematicians. Archimedes was born in about 287 BC in Syracuse‚ Sicily. At the time Syracuse was an independent Greek city-state with a 500-year history. Clothing in Ancient Greece primarily consisted of chiton‚ peplos‚ himation and chlamys. Clothes were mainly home made and often served many purpose. Archimedes’ father

Brute force and pure strength do not win battles. Archimedes‚ a Greek genius proved that to be true by winning many battles despite not being the best strategist or having the best army; building and inventing war machines led him to his victory. Archimedes’ inventions have completely altered the way warfare was fought. Firstly‚ to defend the Romans off when Syracuse was fighting the Second Punic war‚ Archimedes invented war machines that were effective and required significantly lesser amount of

A Golden Age is a period when peace and prosperity flourish throughout a civilization. Many civilizations and cultures throughout history have experienced a Golden Age; advances were made in many different fields such as philosophy‚ architecture‚ and education. Fifth century Athens and the Gupta Dynasty not only advanced in those fields during their Golden age but also in medicine‚ government‚ and mathematics (which is still influencing the modern world). Fifth century Athens made a big influence

two different experimental methods‚ displacement and floatation. The theory is that both methods should have the same density results; the goal is to determine which method is “best”. 1st Method: Displacement This method was first known as Archimedes ’ principle. The principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. (REF: www.infoplease.com) Our group measured density with different amounts of product‚ knowing that intensive

The objective of this Cartesian diver lab is to demonstrate Pascal ’s law and Archimedes ’ principles. Observation is the key to conduct this experimental study of the Cartesian diver. First a 2-liter bottle is filled with water to almost all the way to the top‚ then prepare the diver which is a test tube‚ fill the test tube about

Archimedes was one of the greatest philosophers who lived from 287 BC to 211 BC in Syracuse. Archimedes was a physicist‚ astronomer‚ engineer and mathematician who discovered and invented machines such as the Archimedean screw‚ Archimedes principle‚ Archimedean spiral‚ Archimedes claw‚ planetarium‚ compound pulley system and many war machines. His greatest contributions were in geometry and his methods and ideas started the idea of calculus and finding the density of an object without damaging the

Greek legacies are their governmental systems‚ culture and arts‚ and science and technology. Classical Greece was a time where the growth of a community held strong through times of plague‚ wars‚ and numerous breakthroughs. A major legacy left by classical Greece was a government based on direct democracy. With a direct democracy‚ citizens ruled by majority vote. The citizenship was expanded to all free males‚ except foreigners. Those not considered citizens were women‚ slaves‚ and all foreigners
