Sophie Germain Sophie Germain was a mathematician‚ who posed herself as a man because young women were not supposed to be taught math. Sophie Germain was born in Paris‚ France on April 1‚ 1776 to Ambroise-Francios Germain and Marie-Madeleine Germain (Lewis). She had one older sister and one younger sister. Sophie Germain full name is Marie-Sophie Germain. She changed her name to Sophie because in her family her older sister and her mother both had Marie has their first name. At the age of thirteen

square root for the number 2 using only whole numbers. Pythagoras was absolutely sure that there was a whole number that when multiplied by itself would equal two. This was before the time that decimals had been widely accepted and almost all mathematicians worked with fractions. One day a man named Hippasus came along and proved that there was no whole number or fraction that when squared would equal 2 using Pythagoras’s own theorem. Legend states that Pythagoras’s group threw Hippasus into a body

minimum and discovered the tangent. Mathematicians Torricelli and Barrow then decided to put that tangent on a curved line‚ which can be used to calculate instantaneous rate of change. Although all of these steps are relating to calculus‚ the branch was not officially introduced to the world until the 1640’s. It has been said that it was specifically founded by two people--Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Despite this synonymous finding‚ both mathematicians came up with completely different

Do you imagine yourself taking advices from the one who saved us from extinction? Alan Turing was a great mathematician and he is the father of Computer Science and Digital Electronics. He also was the first scientist that thought that machines could actually learn‚ but one of the most important things about him is the fact that he helped defeating the Nazis by cracking the “Enigma code”. So‚ there are several reasons why anybody would be lucky to meet him: to know about history‚ how he

Archimedes is regarded as one of greatest mathematicians and inventors of his time. He was born in Syracuse‚ Sicily around the year 287BC. Archimedes acquired his education in Alexandria‚ Egypt‚ but spent most of his life in Sicily. When in Sicily‚ he stayed in or near Syracuse and did nothing but experiment and research. Archimedes made many contributions to mathematics. One of the more important discoveries Archimedes made was he found a way to measure the areas and volumes of objects that are

Without revealing the entire storyline‚ Lucy is a motion picture about a thrill-seeking college student played by Scarlett Johansson who finds herself in a horrific drug and human trafficking situation where her brain is permanently altered by a laboratory drug known as CPH4 ingested during her captivity. CPH4 is a real enzyme in bacteria and other organisms. The CPH4 enzyme produces Queuosine. Queuosine is a molecule that essentially helps hold the tRNA of bacteria cells together. Due to the drug’s

There are three principles of pressure: Pascal’s Principle. -It was discovered by Blaise Pascal‚ a French mathematician‚ scientist‚ and philosopher in the year 1650. It is states that: Pressure exerted on a contained fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid‚ acting in all directions and perpendicular to the walls of the container. Bernoulli’s

Johannes Kepler By Ethan Bui Johannes Kepler was born on December 27‚ 1571 in Germany. He was a mathematician‚ astronomer‚ and astrologer. He was most famous for his eponymous laws of planetary motion. Based on his work on Astronomia nova‚ Harmonicies Mundi‚ and Epitome of Copernican Astronomy it provided a foundation for Issac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation.

Broadly‚ historically it conprises of two sides - Geometry and Algebraic subjects.
