For those who are unaware‚ at least 1 and 2 are thanks to Georg Cantor and his invention of set theory. He had to endure a lot of resistance from the mathematical luminaries of his day - Kronecker and apparently‚ even Poincaré! Like Nietzsche‚ he died in a mental institution‚ the vicious attacks on his ideas (mostly by Kronecker) having supposedly played a part in Cantor’s breakdown. His mathematical ideas also ran afoul of some religious "philosophers" who‚ as is usually the case‚ are never ever

Mathematics in medieval Islam 1 Mathematics in medieval Islam In the history of mathematics‚ mathematics in medieval Islam‚ often termed Islamic mathematics or Arabic mathematics‚ is the mathematics developed in the Islamic world between 622 and 1600‚ during what is known as the Islamic Golden Age‚ in that part of the world where Islam was the dominant religion. Islamic science and mathematics flourished under the Islamic caliphate (also known as the Islamic Empire) established across the

What is Shiatsu Shiatsu was developed back in the early twentieth century‚ from Japan. There are different forms of Shiatsu bodywork that can be given. It promotes the restoration of a healthy flow of energy throughout the body. And unlike other massage techniques that focus on one specific part of the body with obvious symptoms‚ Shiatsu focuses on the body as a whole. Shiatsu is much similar to acupuncture‚ but without needles. Instead‚ the massage therapist uses finger

if someone mentions a geometry term to you‚ can you sketch it? If you are shown a geometric figure‚ can you name it? Compare your list of geometry terms with the lists of your group members. EXERCISES Answers to all exercises in every Chapter Review are provided in the back of the book. For Exercises 1–16‚ identify the statement as true or false. For each false statement‚ explain why it is false or sketch a counterexample. 1. The three basic building blocks of geometry are point‚ line‚ and plane

fundamental truths in geometry‚ and from these truths they mad propositions called axioms‚ through deductive reasoning the Greeks would use these axioms to find new theorems that could be proven. These theorems would be used to find solutions of both practical and abstract nature. 2. Thales: Thales of Miletus born in 624 B.C.‚ was the first known Greek philosopher‚ scientist‚ and mathematician. After studying in Egypt‚ Thales was the first philosopher to introduce geometry to the Greeks. Thales

(1921)‚ Time Magazine’s Person of the Century (1999) Einstein’s Contribution to Mathematics While Einstein was remembered for his contributions to physics‚ he also made contributions in mathematics. He contributed several equations to calculus and geometry‚ ten of which are called the Einstein Field Equations. He first published these equations in 1915. One of these equations demonstrates how stress-energy inflicts curvature of space-time. Born: Dec 25‚ 1642‚ in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth‚ Lincolnshire

The Babylonians could measure angles‚ and are believed to have invented the division of the cirle into 360º.[1] However‚ it was the Greeks who are seen as the original pioneers of trigonometry. A Greek mathematician‚ Euclid‚ who lived around 300 BC was an important figure in geometry and trigonometry. He is most renowned for Euclid’s Elements
