plane has an important difference from the Cartesian plane and that is that the two dimensions are not the same. Time is seen as the equivalent of the x-axis on the musical scale and pitch space is seen as the equivalent of the y-axis. Therefore‚ the musical plane therefore has less symmetry than the Cartesian plane. This is because the musical plane doesn’t have symmetry at any line but only has horizontal and vertical axes of symmetry. In the Cartesian plane there are three types of transformations:

The ecliptic is even the starting point for the celestial coordinate system used by astronomers to pinpoint the location of every star‚ nebula‚ and galaxy.

Flaws in Cartesian Dualism In Meditations on First Philosophy‚ René Descartes concludes that we are distinct from our body‚ and can exist without it. Seen from a modern materialist’s perspective‚ Descartes’ view is quite obviously wrong. However‚ assuming no knowledge of modern science‚ we should still be able to disprove his conclusion by looking for flaws in his reasoning in the text. In this essay‚ I will examine three relevant arguments Descartes presents in his sixth meditation and point out

There are two different coordinate systems to locate stars in the sky: 1. Right Ascension-Declination • Vernal equinox is where the ecliptic and celestial equator meet. • Ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun in one year (it is also along the plane in which the Earth revolves around the Sun). • Right ascension is analogous to longitude and is measured in hours‚ minutes‚ and seconds‚ from the point of vernal equinox. • Declination is analogous to latitude and is measured in degrees from the

Reciprocity theorem: Many antenna properties are the same for both transmitting and receiving. It is often easier to calculate the gain of a transmitting antenna than the collecting area of a receiving antenna‚ and it is often easier

Introduction A traverse consists a series of straight line of known length related one another by known angles between the line. The points defining the ends of the traverse lines are called traverse stations. Traverse survey is a method of establishing control points‚ their position being determined by measuring the distances between the traverse station which serve as control points and the angles subtended at the various stations by their adjacent stations. The angles

Jessica Smith Prof. Anderson PHIL 3741-001 31 January 2013 “Non-Cartesian Sums: Philosophy and the African-American Experience” Response In his article “Non-Cartesian Sums” Charles Mills claims how black philosophy differentiates from western (white) philosophy. My view on Charles Mills “Non-Cartesian Sums: Philosophy and the African-American Experience” is that here is a man who is trying to break down what African American philosophy is to the college student. I feel like this is much need;

This rational political actor has its origins in the Cartesian‚ ahistorical‚ self-conscious subject—a subject capable of using the "light of reason" to guide its epistemological and even political judgments. Even much of modern political discourse borrows from this Cartesian legacy by presupposing an ahistorical and even mechanistic "science of politics" A pertinent counter to this naively optimistic
