should be considered one of the greatest achievements of mankind (Allen‚ page 1). The discovery of calculus has been a major time point in history. It has solved many mathematical problems as well as contributing to other scientific areas such as physics‚ electricity‚ and engineering. Calculus can be attributed to two famous scholars – Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz. Newton’s contributions

plague to pass‚ Newton continued reading and more importantly writing. During this time of waiting‚ Newton laid the foundation for calculus after creating the binomial theorem. Another area Newton expanded while waiting for the plague to pass was optics. Newton discovered that white light contains the entire color spectrum. The final thing Newton formulated during his stay at Woolsthope was the inverse square law for orbiting bodies. In a span of less than ten years Newton became one of the foremost

the first person to describe the force of gravity and make the perception of the scientific world more than clear. Newton developed methods and theories in physics‚ optics and mathematics‚ he described his laws of motion in 1687 in his work titled “Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica”. Isaac Newton derived an understanding of physics by combining his ideas of force and motion under a single theory‚ Newton’s laws of motion. Isaac Newton was born on December 25th‚ 1642 in Woolsthorpe‚ United

Alexander the Great‚ Aristotle was a genius Greek philosopher and scientist of the ancient age. Born on 384 BC‚ Aristotle was a biologist‚ a zoologist‚ ethicist‚ a political scientist and the master of rhetoric and logic. He also gave theories in physics and meta physics. Aristotle gained knowledge in different fields with his expansive mind and prodigious writings. However‚ only a fraction of his writings are preserved at present. Aristotle made collections to the plant and animal specimens and classified

Determine the image distance and the image size. Like all problems in physics‚ begin by the identification of the known information. Given: |ho = 4.0 cm |do = 45.7 cm |f = 15.2 cm | Next identify the unknown quantities which you wish to solve for. Required:

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 History of Free Space Optics Even though fibre-optic communications gained worldwide acceptance in the telecommunication industry‚ FSO communications is still considered relatively new. But optical communication‚ in various forms‚ has been used for thousands of years. The Ancient Greeks polished their shields to send signals during battle. In the modern era‚ semaphores and wireless solar telegraphs called heliographs were developed‚ using coded signals to communicate

My discoveries have allowed us to make more new discoveries. But a problem I think of is what the world would be like if I never existed. To start things off one important discovery I made was modern physics. If I was never to make the discoveries in optics‚ motion‚ and mathematics modern physics wouldn’t of existed which means that scientist wouldn’t have never known that every object in the universe has a force that attracts each other. Something else the world would have never found would be

The scientific revolution lasted from the 15th-17th century. It replaced the Greek view that was dominating the scientific world for nearly 2‚000 years. By the end of this revolution‚ science has replaced Christianity as the main focus of European civilization. It became a qualitative view and saw nature as a machine instead of an organism. The revolution began in astronomy‚ in which Nicholas Copernicus thought of a heliocentric universe‚ which turned the world upside-down and published in 1543
