EUCLID: The Man Who Created a Math Class Euclid of Alexandria was born in about 325 BC. He is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his dissertation on mathematics. He was able to create "The Elements" which included the composition of many other famous mathematicians together. He began exploring math because he felt that he needed to compile certain things and fix certain postulates and theorems. His book included‚ many of Eudoxus’ theorems‚ he perfected many of Theaetetus’s

Geometry (Greek γεωμετρία; geo = earth‚ metria = measure)‚ Its beginnings can be traced in ancient Egypt or early or before 1700 B.C. Due to necessity‚ every time the Nile River inundated and deposited fertile soil along the bank‚ the early Egyptian had to solve the problem of size and boundaries of land along the Nile River. Changes happened in the contour of the land had caused confusion among landowners. So a system of making boundaries‚ measuring lengths and areas had to be discovered

Geometry is considered one of the most elementary sciences known to man. It is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points‚ lines‚ surfaces‚ solids‚ and higher dimensional analogs. Geometry is used everywhere around us‚ even in places many people would not suspect it to be used. For example‚ geometry is used in football when constructors want to build a football stadium; it is used when creating the football‚ as well as‚ when a coach is drawing out plays on

laboratory. Report by Phillip Chidavaenzi The government laboratory examined samples of bottled water from several suppliers following an inquiry by NewsDay and exposed seven of them as unsafe for drinking. The water being sold under trade names Ad Life‚ Well Pure‚ Aqua Crystal‚ Century and Revive had harmful organisms and was not safe for drinking‚ while that sold under the names LeauChoisie and Aqualite had high chemical compositions. The laboratory falls under the Ministry of Health and Child

HYPERBOLIC GEOMETRY AND OMEGA TRIANGLES Hyperbolic geometry was first discovered and explored by Omar Khayyam in the 9th century and Giovanni Gerolamo Saccheri in the 15th century. Both were attempting to prove Euclid’s parallel postulate by proving the concept of hyperbolic geometry to be inconsistent‚ and ironically they discovered it to be a new type of geometry. It wasn’t until the 19th century that it became fully developed with help from Karl Friedrich Gauss‚ Janos Bolyai‚ and Nikolai
