Mathematical Happenings Rayne Charni MTH 110 April 6‚ 2015 Prof. Charles Hobbs Mathematical Happenings Greek mathematicians from the 7th Century BC‚ such as Pythagoras and Euclid are the reasons for our fundamental understanding of mathematic science today. Adopting elements of mathematics from both the Egyptians and the Babylonians while researching and added their own works has lead to important theories and formulas used for all modern mathematics and science. Pythagoras was born in Samon Greece

five main rules‚ or postulates. Differences in these rules are what make new kinds of geometries. There is Euclidean‚ Elliptic‚ and Hyperbolic Geometry. Euclidean geometry is the study of flat space and was invented by Euclid‚ a mathematician from Alexandria‚ in 330 B.C. Euclid described his new ideas and general rules in the book Elements (Bradley 30). The foundation of Euclidean geometry is the concept of a few undefined terms: points‚ lines‚ and planes. In essence‚ a point is an exact position

Biographical Sketch: Thales and Hypatia Thales While it is clear that Euclid definitely set a precedent for geometry and mathematics as a whole‚ he was not alone in his work‚ his endeavors‚ or his ideas. He certainly was not the first to come up with these theories or rules for geometry either. Before there was Euclid‚ there was Thales of Miletus. Thales‚ along with other mathematicians or “geometers” laid some of the foundation for Euclid to compile in order to write the Elements centuries later. Thales

work of Archimedes has not survived as well as that of Euclid‚ and seven of his treatises are known to have existed only through references made to them by other authors. Pappus of Alexandria mentions On Sphere-Making and another work on polyhedra‚ while Theon of Alexandria quotes a remark about refraction from the now-lost Catoptrica.[b] During his lifetime‚ Archimedes made his work known through correspondence with the mathematicians in Alexandria. The writings of Archimedes were collected by the Byzantine

featured geometry in an otherwise arithmetic branch of mathematics. Pi itself is a constant‚ unlikely‚ one would think‚ to have anything remotely to do with geometry. But attempts to find and approximate the value of pi have used geometry. Ptolemy of Alexandria used a 360 sided polygon inscribed within a circle to arrive at an estimate for pi that was very accurate for his time. Algebraic equations largely make use of geometric arguments because there is such a strong union between them both. Most algebraic

Period 7 Jack Whyte Reflection This year‚ both as a student and as a person‚ I learned a tremendous amount. For instance‚ I learned that in England‚ its spelled “grey”‚ but in America its spelled “gray”. That pretty much was the coolest and most useful thing I have heard in a long time‚ let alone in the past 10 months. But I am not in a position today to discuss this‚ and thus I will be detailing everything else I have learned that has fallen short. Scholastically‚ I’ve grown to appreciate

Archimedes Archimedes was a Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born in Syracuse‚ Sicily in the year 287 B.C. He was educated in Alexandria‚ Egypt.he was educated under the successors of Euclid. His father was an astronomer named Pheidias. he was very likely related to the family of King Hieron of Syracuse. Although it is not clear whether the relationship with the king was personal or business. Archimedes started felds of Hydrostatics ‚pycnometry‚ and combinatorics‚ but he is most f
