U N I T 2 BASIC SURVEY MATH Edward Zimmerman‚ PLS California Department of Transportation Introduction The purpose of this video unit is to present basic math concepts and principles useful to survey computations. It has been assumed that most viewers are already familiar with some or most of the topics presented in the beginning of the unit. It is important to have a developed understanding of the basic operations of arithmetic‚ algebra‚ geometry‚ and trigonometry. This unit

With the help of tape measures and rules small distances in the everyday household are easy to measure. As distances grow bigger so do the devices and ways in which the distance is to be measured. In math rulers make sense as well as Pythagorean Theorem; so what about astronomy? Astronomers have a totally different format of information of which they are studying. It only makes sense that the astronomers would have a totally different way of which they measure. Two measurements astronomers use are

graphical chart. Each force had its own x and y component and can be solve by using Fx = Fcos and Fy = Fsin. The resultant may be determined by adding all the components along the x-axis and all the components along the y-axis. Then by using the Pythagorean Theorem‚ we can find the magnitude of the resultant. Then the direction can be solved by using tan. Conclusion: The objective of the experiment is to determine the resultant force by using the graphical method and the analytical method and

The Pre-Socratic Philosophers | "Pre-Socratic" is the expression commonly used to describe those Greek thinkers who lived and wrote between 600 and 400 B.C. It was the Pre-Socratics who attempted to find universal principles which would explain the natural world from its origins to man’s place in it. Although Socrates died in 399 B.C.‚ the term "Pre-Socratic" indicates not so much a chronological limit‚ but rather an outlook or range of interests‚ an outlook attacked by both Protagoras (a Sophist)

Among these were some surprisingly sophisticated principles‚ and a modern mathematician might be hard put to derive some of them without the use of calculus. For example‚ both the Egyptians and the Babylonians were aware of versions of the Pythagorean theorem about 1500 years beforePythagoras; the Egyptians had a correct formula for the volume of a frustum of a square pyramid; |Born |325bc Alexandria‚ egypt | |Died |265bc

While both the Egyptian and Babylonian time periods certainly influenced future mathematics‚ it seems to be Babylon that had the most to offer. Egypt achieved many feats that required skill in mathematics‚ but it isn’t completely clear how they came about these as their use of papyrus meant much information did not survive. This doesn’t mean that they didn’t influence the societies and people that came after or from them. It is simply that because of the limited information about their mathematic
