control theory and improper integrals to take the place of certain imaginary values‚ as well as to simplify some explanations. 2. THe Concept 2.1 History of imaginary numbers Long ago in ancient Greece‚ there was a society of mathematicians called Pythagoreans who believed the only numbers were natural numbers and positive rational numbers (Rusczyk 357). Later‚ Hippasus discovered irrational numbers such as√2‚ then 0 and negative numbers were introduced. This completes the real numbers set‚ but mathematicians

Pythagoras is probably best known for his discovery of the Pythagorean Theorem. Not only did the group practice mathematics and religious topics‚ but they also became involved with the politics in Croton. Their involvement in the politics of Croton was not taken too kindly. The people of Croton burned down some of the meeting places of the Pythagorean followers. Killings many of them. with only the young making it out to safety. The Pythagorean order was everywhere suppressed‚ and was never again

Other than those listed in the text‚ how might the Pythagorean theorem be used in everyday life? Well other than the way its listed in the text the way that the pythagorean theorem can be used any time is when we have a right triangle‚ we know the length of two sides‚ and we want

Similarity and congruence Two triangles are said to be similar if every angle of one triangle has the same measure as the corresponding angle in the other triangle. The corresponding sides of similar triangles have lengths that are in the same proportion‚ and this property is also sufficient to establish similarity. A few basic theorems about similar triangles: * If two corresponding internal angles of two triangles have the same measure‚ the triangles are similar. * If two corresponding

longer or shorter it is makes a difference in the tune of the note. In astronomy‚ he taught that the earth was a sphere‚ and in math he compared the difference between composite and prime numbers‚ discovered irrational numbers‚ and proved the Pythagorean Theorem. This stated that when the two shorter sides in a right triangle were squared and then added‚ it would equal the square of the longest side or hypotenuse. This was known earlier‚ but he was the first one to really prove it was true. He

There are various arguments on the philosophical position‚ substance dualism. Substance dualism is the postulation that there are two kinds of substances: physical and mental. However‚ in this paper I will be presenting Descartes’ argument from separability‚ derived from the argument essential extension for substance dualism. In addition‚ I will be addressing Arnauld’s triangle objection to Descartes’ “clear and distinct” aspect of the conceivability premise with an example case for clarification
