Nubians used a similar methodology.[5] The ancient Greeks transformed trigonometry into an ordered science.[6] Classical Greek mathematicians (such as Euclid and Archimedes) studied the properties of chordsand inscribed angles in circles‚ and proved theorems that are equivalent to modern trigonometric formulae‚ although they presented them geometrically rather than algebraically. Claudius Ptolemyexpanded upon Hipparchus’ Chords in a Circle in his Almagest.[7] The modern sine function was first defined

It is a fundamental principle in Euclidean geometry‚ and the basis of the definition of distance between the two points. Pythagoras Theorem also describe the relationship between the side of a right triangle and a flat plain. MAXWELL’S EQUATIONS James clark maxwell’s set of equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered‚ both by each other and by charges

Classical Philosophy Period Philosophy has been going on for generations; longer than people realized. Philosophy has been developing like humans thru time from ideas of metaphysics to theory of correct inference (Moore‚ p.14). One period of philosophy which grew exponentially philosophically was in the classical period. This period had some of the great philosophers of all time such as Plato‚ Socrates and finally Aristotle. In today’s world‚ new ideas about philosophy have arisen and classic philosophy

absolutely necessary for solving the area and sides of similar shapes and the quadratic formula. There doesn’t seem to be much use in solving trigonometric functions. At least knowing sine‚ cosine‚ tangent‚ and the others should be fine. The Pythagorean Theorem is also a necessity.

teacher shows their students how to do math‚ you were the first teacher who taught us what the math meant‚ what people actually used it for. I came out of algebra‚ geometry‚ and pre-calculus with knowledge of how to factor‚ how to use the Pythagorean Theorem‚ and how to find a function’s horizontal asymptotes‚ but after your calculus class I had a deeper understanding of the topics you taught us. And‚ since in your class I began to understand the usefulness of things like related rates or integration

In comparison to previous topics I’ve studied‚ sociology better suits what it is I want to do with my life. It has taken me a while to figure what my niche is since I’ve been in college. Before declaring sociology as a major‚ I was a business major. I have always had a strong interest in business‚ but as I progressed with the program‚ it became evident to me that I have no interest in working in corporate America. I realized that I would much rather become and entrepreneur and

Aryabhata (476–550 CE) was the first in the line of greatmathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. His most famous works are the Aryabhatiya (499 CE‚ when he was 23 years old) and the Arya-siddhanta. Name While there is a tendency to misspell his name as "Aryabhatta" by analogy with other names having the "bhatta" suffix‚ his name is properly spelled Aryabhata: every astronomical text spells his name thus‚[1] including Brahmagupta’s references to

substitute the minimal knowledge that is needed on a standardized test. For example‚ a seventh grade teacher will try to perfect students’ ability to use the Pythagorean Theorem in order to obtain the measurement of sides and angles of a right triangle. But on the other hand‚ real life applications and word problems of how the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find unknown distances and heights‚ as well as angles of elevation‚ will be less of a focus because there is less of a focus on longer and wordy
