discovered then extended his three laws of motion that frame the world of physics‚ and for crying out loud‚ the man invented calculus. Not just that‚ these examples aren’t even including all of his very many scientific achievements‚ inventions‚ or founds. For starters‚ Isaac Newton’s theory of “fluxions” or calculus‚ was a giant contribution to the mathematical world! Fluxional calculus is a method for treating changing or flowing quantities. This theory revolutionized the math world in ways people couldn’t

The philosophical theory that I choose to do is called “utilitarianism”. In a brief sentence‚ utilitarianism means the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Basically what this means is‚ doing the right thing is based on how many people your action benefits rather than how much it benefits you. According to the Oxford American Dictionary utility means “the state of being useful‚ profitable‚ or beneficial”(oxford dictionary‚2013). The whole theory is all about how much it benefits and

objects studied in discrete mathematics – such as integers‚ graphs‚ and statements in logic – do not vary smoothly in this way‚ but have distinct‚ separated values. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis. Discrete objects can often be enumerated by integers. More formally‚ discrete mathematics has been characterized as the branch of mathematics dealing with countable sets (sets that have the same cardinality as subsets of the integers

presentation of sex and sexuality in Brave New World brave new world is a dystopian novel about an authoritarian regime and how they control people‚ in it there are characters that resist the leadership. Huxley’s Brave New World is a darkly satirical novel that uncovers and shows the weaknesses of society (mainly American) in 1932 with ‘pneumatic flappers’ and jazz clubs which‚ in Huxley’s mind‚ lack meaning and are too casual. The society uses sex and sexuality as a force to control the masses

In our modern society‚ the evolution of human behaviour is present within every individual. As a naive and inexperienced juvenile‚ one develops into a certain type of person over a period of time through the influence of their close ones. As depicted in The Picture of Dorian Gray‚ Oscar Wilde demonstrates the many undesired effects when exposed to influential individuals. With the introduction of external negative influences‚ Dorian Gray becomes a tainted man within the norms of not only a Victorian

Calculus has many different applications in human life‚ especially as technology is advancing into the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Although humans know how to apply mathematical theorems‚ research shows that even bees apply calculus to improve their lives. Bees are very advanced in the application of math compared to other animals. It was always questioned as to why the bee uses hexagons to produce their honeycombs. Many mathematicians wondered why any random shape would

The Key of Being Successful Everyone wants to be intelligent‚ and everyone wants to know the crucial technique to be intelligent. Carol Dweck‚ the psychologist in Stanford University suggests that intelligence depends on the different mindsets in her article “Brainology: Transforming Students’ Motivation to Learn.” Also‚ I believe that one of the mindset is the key to develop intelligence and being successful.
