Kenard Dansbury Social Justice is the fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons‚ irrespective of ethnic origin‚ gender‚ possessions‚ race‚ religion‚ etc.‚ are to be treated equally and without prejudice. An example of social justice with African American’s is the black lives matter movement.

History of Classical Algebra Around grades 8 through 10‚ most students are learning the basics of Algebra 1 and 2. Where did this subject evolve from and who were the mathematicians who patented it? Was it just one civilization that came up with the concept or many that built on each other? These are all great questions to look at when looking at the evolution of Algebra. The ideas of Algebra were very slow developing‚ until a few great philosophers made some big discoveries. In order to go back

“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush‚ who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years‚ which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn’t rise a great deal afterwards‚ this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose

“There are no absolute distinctions between what is true and what is false”. Discuss this claim. Theory of Knowledge Name: XXXXXXX Instructor: XXXXXXX IB Candidate Number: XXXX-XXX May 2011 Word count: 1407 There is a small shudder that crawls through my spine whenever someone claims that they are in the search of an “absolute truth”; If the claim is not confined within the realm of mathematics‚ it makes even less sense to be able to claim such truth.

Raphael’s “School of Athens” fresco is one of the four frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura ‚ in the Vatican. The walls are covered with four different scenes‚ each depicting a different theme. The School of Athens represents Philosophy. The techniques and figures used in the fresco not only pay homage to Raphael’s influences‚ but are also a presentation of the skills acquired from each. Almost as though he was submitting it for approval. As Raphael traveled throughout Italy‚ he formed relationships

civilizations both began their histories with the emergence of city states. Both of these civilizations made contributions to the Middle East. The Greeks had made a wild spread of discoveries on several fields. This included astronomy by Ptolemy‚ geometry by Euclid‚ and the philosophy of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius of his Stoic philosophy. Because the Greeks were widely known as a creative and prestigious race‚ the Romans were influenced by the Iliad (Homer’s legendary poem) that their religious beliefs

Abstract— This paper is on the Italian philosopher‚ astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei. Galileo made fundamental contributions to the world of mathematics and science. His mathematical studies on parabolic trajectories influenced and changed the study of motion. He changed the ways of philosophy from verbal to mathematics. He also invented the telescope. This paper will focus on Galileo Galilei’s life and some of his scientific and mathematical works. Index Terms—Copernican Theory‚ Galileo

Between 1850 thru 1920 approximately 25 million immigrants entered into the United States. This wave of immigrants was known as the new wave coming from eastern‚ central‚ and southern Europe unlike their earlier predecessors of immigrants who migrated from the British Isles or northern Europe. Many fleed because of crop failure‚ land and job shortages‚ rising taxes‚ and famine. Economic‚ personal freedoms and religious persecution inspired many immigrants to migrate to the United States with the

PROJECT ABOUT FERMAT ’S LAST THEOREM I am going to do my project in the field of number theory. Number theory‚ a subject with a long and rich history‚ has become increasingly important because of its application to computer science and cryptography. The core topics of number theory are such as divisibility‚ highest common factor‚ primes‚ factorization‚ Diophantine equations and so on‚ among which I chose Diophantine equations as the specific topic I would like to go deep into.
