Euclidean Geometry Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300 BC‚ when the Greek mathematician Euclid gathered what was known at the time‚ added original work of his own‚ and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called ’Elements’. The books covered not only plane and solid geometry but also much of what is now known as algebra‚ trigonometry‚ and advanced arithmetic. Through the ages‚ the propositions have been rearranged‚ and many of the proofs are different‚ but the basic idea presented

find the lightest bag in 3 weightings. But his court mathematician thought it could be done in less‚ so I need to find out the least amount of weightings. 2. Process I started by weighing 4 bags on each side of the simulator scale to see which side was lighter. Then from those results I thought to weigh the 4 bags that were on the lighter side then again I would weigh the 2 lighter ones to find out which one it is. However the mathematician said that I can be done in less than 3 moves‚ so throwing

Algebra Algebra was invented by the Muslim mathematician Al-Khwarizmi in the book he wrote in 820. Algebra is the Arabic word (aljabr) for "equation"‚ and the word "algorithm" comes from the author’s name‚ Al-Khwarizmi. He is rightly known as "the father of Algebra The roots of algebra can be traced to the ancient Babylonians‚ who developed an advanced arithmetical system with which they were able to do calculations in analgorithmic fashion. The Babylonians developed formulas to calculate solutions

knowledge of the external world. 9. How does Kant explain the possibility of synthetic a priori truths? Kant explained the possibility of synthetic a priori truths by examining the method of inquiry used by mathematicians. Kant found that what makes it possible for mathematicians to discover such truths is that they study the principles the mind uses to construct mathematical objects. Section 7.2 (3 and 4) 3.
