THE DIVINITY OF NUMBER: The Importance of Number in the Philosophy of Pythagoras by Br. Paul Phuoc Trong Chu‚ SDB Pythagoras and his followers‚ the Pythagoreans‚ were profoundly fascinated with numbers. In this paper‚ I will show that the heart of Pythagoras’ philosophy centers on numbers. As true to the spirit of Pythagoras‚ I will demonstrate this in seven ways. One‚ the principle of reality is mathematics and its essence is numbers. Two‚ odd and even numbers signify the finite and

Integers include the counting numbers (1‚ 2‚ 3‚ …)‚ their negative counterparts (-1‚ -2‚ -3‚ …)‚ and 0. ii) Whole & Natural Numbers The terms from 0‚1‚2‚3‚….. are known as Whole numbers. Natural numbers do not include 0. iii) Factors Positive integers that divide evenly into an integer. Factors are equal to or smaller than the integer in question. 12 is a factor of 12‚ as are 1‚ 2

How was Avogadro’s number determined? Jessica Kim 12D Starting from 200 years ago‚ scientists tried to figure out the basic ideas of chemistry. One of them they put lots of effort in was to find out the mass of the smallest particle‚ mole. Measuring the mass was a primary difficulty at that time since one mole of a substance was unable to weigh without using developed technology. Even though‚ it was clear that everything was made out of a small unit‚ there was no evidence that could determine

Introduction The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter‚ and is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century‚ though it is also sometimes written as "pi. π is an irrational number‚ which means that it cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of any two integers (fractions such as 22/7 are commonly used to approximate π; no fraction can be its exact value); consequently‚ its decimal

Lohmeyer 5/14/13 Education problems with easy fixes Did you know that the number one reason many school age children are stressed is parental pressure on grades. Yes we can say that the parents need to learn not to care so much about grades but‚ really is that ever going to happen. With colleges looking more and more on academic grades it becomes increasingly important that we keep those grades looking sharp. Though that may sound easy to many parents who forget what school was like or didn’t struggle

of “Complex and Imaginary Numbers” and its applications. I chose the topic “Complex and Imaginary Numbers” because I am interested in mathematics that is hard to be pictured in your mind‚ unlike geometry or equations. An imaginary number is the square root of a negative number. That is why they are called imaginary‚ what René Descartes called them‚ because he thought such a number could not exist. In this paper‚ I will discuss how complex numbers and imaginary numbers were discovered‚ the interesting
