Explain the Preference Utilitarianism of Peter Singer Preference Utilitarianism is based on the idea that a good action is one that maximises the preferences of all involved so that my own want‚ needs and desires cannot apply to everyone. Utilitarianism is a teleological or consequentialist approach to ethics‚ which means that the action’s outcome is looked at. It is the greatest happiness principle. It is the consequences of an action which judge whether it is good or bad. Preference Utilitarianism

Calculus is the mathematical study of change‚[1] in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving equations. It has two major branches‚ differential calculus (concerning rates of change and slopes of curves)‚ and integral calculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under curves); these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Both branches make use of the fundamental

How the calculus was invented? Calculus‚ historically known as infinitesimal calculus‚ is a mathematical discipline focused on limits‚ functions‚ derivatives‚ integrals‚ and infinite series. Ideas leading up to the notions of function‚ derivative‚ and integral were developed throughout the 17th century‚ but the decisive step was made by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Publication of Newton’s main treatises took many years‚ whereas Leibniz published first (Nova methodus‚ 1684) and the whole

My Favourite Singer (Michael Jackson) My favourite singer is Michael Jackson. I like his songs very much because they are full of energy and very melodic. I also like the way he dances. There were nine children in Michael’s family. They lived in a small fourroom house. Later he lived in a house which has seventeen rooms downstairs and sixteen rooms upstaires. It stands in 2‚700 acres of ground. Besides the house there are guest houses‚ a golf course‚ a swimming pool‚ tennis courts‚ stables‚ gardens

Molecular Weight: A. 18.01528 g/mol Water‚ Molar mass Triple Point The temperature and pressure at which solid‚ liquid‚ and gaseous water coexist in equilibrium is called the triple point of water. This point is used to define the units of temperature (the kelvin‚ the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature and‚ indirectly‚ the degree Celsius and even the degree Fahrenheit). As a consequence‚ water’s triple point temperature is a prescribed value rather

History of Differential Calculus Universidad Iberoamericana September 20‚ 2013 Ever since men felt the need to count‚ the history of calculus begins‚ which together with Mathematics is one of the oldest and most useful science. Since men felt that need for counting objects‚ this need led to the creation of systems that allowed them to maintain control of their properties. They initially did it with the use of fingers‚ legs‚ or stones. But as humans continued developing
