Lemuel Hackshaw February 14th‚ 2013 MA122 History of Trigonometry The History of Trigonometry dated back to the early ages of Egypt and Babylon. Many different Astronomers and Mathematicians all took place in helping create Trigonometry‚ people from Hipparchus‚ all the way to Isaac Newton. They all contributed a little something‚ something to formulate what we know as trigonometry. The places these events took place in different place like Greece and India‚ to Sweden to Germany.

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist‚ considered one of the greatest scientists in history. He made important contributions to many fields of science. His discoveries and theories laid the foundation for much of the progress in science. Newton was one of the inventors of a mathematics called calculus. He also solved the mysteries of light and optics‚ formulated the three laws of motion‚ and derived from them the law of universal gravitation. Newton

Bernoulli’s Principle complies with the principle of conservation of energy. In a steady Flow‚ at all points of the streamline of a flowing fluid is the sum of all forms of mechanical energy along a streamline. It was first derived by the Swiss Mathematician Daniel Bernoulli; the theorem states that when a fluid flows from one place to another without friction‚ its total energy (kinetic+ potential+ pressure) remains constant. Many of schools‚ academies or universities cannot provide their student

Mandelbrot was a French and American mathematician known for developing the “theory of roughness” in nature as well as fractal geometry to prove his theory. . Mandelbrot asks“Can geometry deliver what the Greek root of its name [geo-] seemed to promise—truthful measurement‚ not only of cultivated fields along the Nile River but also of untamed Earth? Mandelbrot’s father bought and sold clothes while his mother

applied his astronomy and astrology skills to create horoscopes. Of historical importance‚ it is Ptolemy’s Geography‚ which charts the world as people back in his time knew it. Ptolemy was one of the most influential Greek mathematicians of his time. Out of all the mathematicians of his time‚ his work was the most discussed and argued about. Ptolemy gave the name to the Ptolemy’s Planetary theory. The book is mostly devoted to astronomy and astronomy. Ptolemy’s theorem was a powerful result. With its

Euclid Euclid‚ an ancient Greek mathematician‚ once said to a king‚ "There’s no royal road to geometry." By that he meant that there’s no shortcuts to geometry. You have to work hard and learn it the long way. In this research paper I will tell you what made him famous and what he did. Very little is known about Euclid’s life. One of the reasons is because he gets mixed up with Euclid of Megara‚ a Socratic philosopher. Another reason is because some of his work was destroyed in a fire. It is not

Pythagoras was a very significant person in the history of the world. He was a man who was not content with accepting things as they are. He needed explanations and reasons. Pythagoras was an ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher. Pythagoras was responsible for important developments in the history of mathematics‚ astronomy‚ and the theory of music. The thing that Pythagoras is probably the most famous for is the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is used in the field of mathematics

Sir Isaac Newton PRS MP was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. Achievement/Contribution: Newton’s accomplishments in life were many. Generally‚ he devoted much of his energy towards alchemy‚ theology‚ and history. Newton built the first reflecting telescope. During his lifetime he was involved in the development of the calculus. Newton who struck upon the Laws

History of Differential Calculus Universidad Iberoamericana September 20‚ 2013 Ever since men felt the need to count‚ the history of calculus begins‚ which together with Mathematics is one of the oldest and most useful science. Since men felt that need for counting objects‚ this need led to the creation of systems that allowed them to maintain control of their properties. They initially did it with the use of fingers‚ legs‚ or stones. But as humans continued developing

in the social sciences. How can we say that mathematics is related to social sciences. People believe‚ Mathematics is a divine discipline. Some love Mathematics‚ while some fear it; some study Mathematics‚ while some worship it. Ancient Indian Mathematicians like Aryabatta or Bhaskara worshipped Mathematics and lived for it. It was not for any material benefit‚ but was out of their devotion. All over the world‚ there were and there are people who loved Mathematics as a divine subject. Hence it is
