Euclid and His Contributions to Mathematics Euclid was an ancient Greek mathematician from Alexandria who is best known for his major work‚ Elements. Although little is known about Euclid the man‚ he taught in a school that he founded in Alexandria‚ Egypt‚ around 300 b.c.e. For his major study‚ Elements‚ Euclid collected the work of many mathematicians who preceded him. Among these were Hippocrates of Chios‚ Theudius‚ Theaetetus‚ and Eudoxus. Euclid ’s vital contribution was to gather

Case Report-2: TruEarth Healthy Foods 1) Using the forecast model for pasta shown in Exhibit 5‚ what is your forecast of the demand for pizza? In Annex I‚ we see that the forecasted demand for pizza is 1.6MM‚ which is represented by the Trial Households. We calculated this by using the calculation in pasta that BASES used for pasta case. We found that the trial rate for “actual definitely would buy” for pizza will be 80% of the definitely would buy rate of the BASEL research. The actual probably

Investigation: Intersecting Chords of a Circle On completion of the investigation I had learned many new important qualities associated with the intersecting chords within a circle theorems. The three theorems studied in this investigation include: Two chords intersecting externally‚ two chords intersecting internally and the intersection of a chord and tangent. Each theorem can be used to determine different things (e.g. the tangent-chord theorem can be used to determine the approximate distance

Bahasa Malaysia‚ the national language has been the medium of instruction for about 20 years; however in January 2003 Malaysia re-adopted the English language as a medium of instruction for science and mathematics in a move to keep abreast with scientific and technological development that is mostly recorded in the English language. At the same time‚ this move is envisaged to provide opportunities for students to use the English language and therefore increase their proficiency in the language. This

Being in school and working can be a lot of responsibility for any young person. The reasons a young adult might have for working a part-time job in school can vary from necessity to the desire to have some extra spending money. Teens from some families may work because of a dire need for additional resources. Other families may support part-time work because they think their young family members need to learn the value of earning a dollar. Having a part-time job can help students learn valuable

The Evolution of Mathematics of Celestial Motion Through Aristotle’s crystalline spheres‚ the Copernican Revolution‚ and Newton’s understanding of Kepler’s laws of planetary motion; it becomes clear that mathematics was the driving force that guided us through the evolution of celestial motion. One of the first to theorize the motion of both terrestrial and celestial bodies was Aristotle around 330BCE. To this philosopher‚ the universe had always been eternally geocentric. On Earth the concept
