Apollonius of Perga Apollonius was a great mathematician‚ known by his contempories as " The Great Geometer‚ " whose treatise Conics is one of the greatest scientific works from the ancient world. Most of his other treatise were lost‚ although their titles and a general indication of their contents were passed on by later writers‚ especially Pappus of Alexandria. As a youth Apollonius studied in Alexandria ( under the pupils of Euclid‚ according to Pappus ) and subsequently taught at the university

involves a point (the focus) and a line (the directrix). The focus does not lie on the directrix. The locus of points in that plane that are equidistant from both the directrix and the focus is the parabola. Another description of a parabola is as a conic section‚ created from the intersection of a right circular conical surface and a planewhich is parallel to another plane which is tangential to the conical surface.[a] A third description is algebraic. A parabola is a graph of a quadratic function‚ such

Hypatia of Alexandria Hypatia was born in 370 A.D. in Alexandria‚ Egypt. From that day on her life was one enriched with a passion for knowledge. Theon‚ Hypatia’s father whom himself was a mathematician‚ raised Hypatia in an environment of thought. Both of them formed a strong bond as he taught her his own knowledge and shared his passion in the search of answers to the unknown. Under her fathers discipline he developed a physical routine for her to ensure a healthy body as well as a highly

not be a person who sees himself larger than who he really is. Iva Rhiana C. Santiago LG 4218 APOLLONIUS OF PERGA As what I have researched‚ Apollonius of Perga was a Greek geometer and astronomer noted for his writings in the conic section. It was him who gave the ellipse‚ the parabola‚ and the hyperbola the names by which we know them. And these things are our lessons this term. The work of Apollonius of Perga has had such a great impact

You may not recognize them at first but they are all around us. Conics can be found in architecture all around the world. I never thought it would be so easy to find conics in the real world.

summative tests because I don’t want to be left behind with the topics. REFLECTION When Sir Corpuz said that we are going to have a double program in Math‚ I was excited because we are not just advancing but are reviewing in the same time. APPLICATION TO LIFE A lot of advance technologies are product of such very simple concepts in math as long as it is utilized in a very good way. For example the distance formula‚ this is not just used in Math but also in Physics‚ Science and many other fields
