mathematics and philosophy in a deeper way. One of the many names residing from Ancient Greece was Pythagoras a mathematical philosopher‚ who changed our present day apprehension of geometry with his astonishing creation of the theorem named after his name. The Pythagoras Theorem What is Philosophy in Mathematics? Mathematical philosophy is linked with the philosophical foundations and assumptions of mathematics. E.g. was calculus invented or rather discovered‚ how are theories justified. The final goal

Historical/Cultural Report Famous Mathematician: Pythagoras Introduction: Pythagoras’ Theorem is actively used and is a crucial part of trigonometry in present-day mathematics. Pythagoras‚ living approximately from 570 – 495BC‚ in Greece‚ is believed to have founded the Pythagoras’ Theorem among a cult‚ which Aristotle believed to be the beginning of an advance in Mathematics. In fact‚ there is evidence that the theorem had been discovered and used perhaps a thousand years earlier than Pythagoras by the

to Algebra Instructor Yvette Gonzalez-Smith August 04‚ 2013 Pythagorean Quadratic The Pythagorean Theorem is an equation that allows a person to find the length of a side of a right triangle‚ as long as the length of the other two sides is known. The theorem basically relates the lengths of three sides of any right triangle. The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the legs. It also can help a person to figure out whether or

Pythagorean Theorem was termed after Pythagoras‚ who was a well-known Greek philosopher and mathematician‚ and the Pythagorean Theorem is one of the first theorems identified in ancient civilizations. “The Pythagorean theorem says that in any right triangle the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse” (Dugopolski‚ 2012‚ p. 366 para. 8). For this reason‚ many builders from various times throughout history have used this theorem to assure

MATHS-SA1-TEST1 Q1) Use the following information to answer the next question. The steps for finding the H.C.F. of 2940 and 12348 by Euclid’s division lemma are as follows. 12348 = a × 4 + b a = b × 5 + 0 What are the respective values of a and b? A. 2352 and 588 B. 2940 and 588 C. 2352 and 468 D. 2940 and 468 Answer The steps to find the H.C.F. of 12348 and 2940 are as follows. 12348 = 2940 × 4 + 588 2940 = 588 × 5 + 0 Comparing with the given steps‚ we obtain a =

Decision of Uncertainty Paper All decision-making has some level of uncertainly. “Competent researchers and astute managers alike practice thinking habits that reflect sound reasoning—finding correct premises‚ testing the connections between their facts and assumptions‚ making claims based on adequate evidence” (Cooper & Schindler‚ 2006). Data from appropriate investigations can lead to high quality decisions with a lesser amount of uncertainty. Risks in everyday life can be reduced. Our

1 Gauss’ theorem Chapter 14 Gauss’ theorem We now present the third great theorem of integral vector calculus. It is interesting that Green’s theorem is again the basic starting point. In Chapter 13 we saw how Green’s theorem directly translates to the case of surfaces in R3 and produces Stokes’ theorem. Now we are going to see how a reinterpretation of Green’s theorem leads to Gauss’ theorem for R2 ‚ and then we shall learn from that how to use the proof of Green’s theorem to extend it

topics of Napoleon’s Theorem‚ the first thing that struck my mind was that it was somehow related to the French leader‚ Napoleon Bonaparte. But then a thought struck me: Napoleon was supposed to good at only politics and the art of warfare. Mathematics was never related to him. On surfing the internet to learn about the theorem‚ I came to know that this theorem was in fact named after the same Napoleon as he was good at Maths too (other than waging wars and killing people). The theorem was discovered in
