enough to make sure that a concept is true. In order to consider if a mathematical statement is true or not‚ we can use the formal system‚ developed by Euclid. This model of reasoning includes three key elements: axioms‚ deductive reasoning‚ and theorems. To reason formally‚ you must accomplish these steps in this order. The simplest form of proof is using the axiom system‚ which is a basic assumption. This is a form that is a firm foundation for knowledge in the mathematical sense in which statements

published a series of papers in which he showed that the second law of thermodynamics in 1870. Boltzmann and James Clark Maxwell created a law for the distribution of energy among the various parts of a system at a specific temperature and derived the theorem of equipartition of energy. This law states that the average amount of energy involved in each different direction of motion of an atom is the same. (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica) For example‚ the theory helps explain the motion and speed

BINOMIAL THEOREM OBJECTIVES Recognize patterns in binomial expansions. Evaluate a binomial coefficient. Expand a binomial raised to a power. Find a particular term in a binomial expansion Understand the principle of mathematical induction. Prove statements using mathematical induction. Definition: BINOMIAL THEOREM Patterns in Binomial Expansions A number of patterns‚ as follows‚ begin to appear when we write the binomial expansion of a b n‚ where n is a positive integer

The most key factor of this theorem is the principle that the when the sum of the two legs of a triangle added up‚ they are equal to the hypotenuse‚ longest side‚ of the right angled triangle. Meaning that whatever the numbers are on the legs of a triangle the sum will always give you the length of the third side of a triangle. In addition‚ to this theorem Pythagoras also discovered that a square is made of two triangles in which lead him to

levitation. In the past‚ magnetic levitation was attempted by using permanent magnets. Earnshaw’s theorem however‚ proves that this is mathematically impossible. There exists no arrangement of static magnets of charges that can stably levitate an object. There are however means of circumventing this theorem by altering its basic assumptions. The following conditions are exceptions to Earnshaw’s theorem: • Diamagnetism: occurs in materials which have a relative permeability less than one. The result
