"There is beauty to be found in everything, you only have to search for it: a gasometer can make as beautiful a picture as a palace on the Grand Canal, Venice, it simply depends on the artist's vision. " Compared with the lives of many artists, Algernon Newton's appears at first sight comparatively straightforward and uneventful. A long, successful and steadily productive career spanning the best part of fifty years, a second marriage of great stability and of equal duration would seem to find their perfect reflection in the tranquil, ordered and unchanging neo-eighteenth century surfaces of his canvases: except that their subjects are more often than not those of domestic decay and industrial dereliction rather than the great houses and grand…

Nicolaus Copernicus was come to be known as the founder of modern astronomy, because of his contributions to the science world (http://www.famousscientists.org/nicolaus-copernicus/). Copernicus held many occupations throughout his life, including a physician, economist, astronomer, author, diplomat, artist, and mathematician (http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/whos_who_level1/copernicus.html).

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus evaluate an antiderivative at the upper and lower limits of integration and take the difference. This theorem is separated into two parts. The first part is called the first fundamental theorem of calculus and states that one of the antiderivatives of some function may be obtained as the integral of the function with a variable bound of integration. The second part of the theorem, called the second fundamental theorem of calculus, states that the integral of a function over some interval can be computed by using any one of its infinitely many antiderivatives.…
This gave him an opportunity to observe and study the wide range of natural phenomenons. These studies contributed to his theory on evolution. In 1837 Charles went to London to finish work on his Journal known as The Voyage of the Beagle. He arranged his collections of fossils and bugs and was impressed by the likenesses of the species showed. He studied all of the samples vigorously, down to every line, spot and, organ and noticed that each had developed in their own way from ancestors.…
