marry successful men, but her own future, which she never had neither marriage nor children throughout her life was influenced by events that took place when she only was at the young age of thirteen. Sophie read an ancient story of the death of Archimedes at the hands of a Roman soldier. The grand scientist of antiquity became her aspiring hero, and she conceived the idea that she too must become a mathematician after reading this story. After teaching herself different languages such as Latin…

However, Hellenistic age nurtures progress in mathematics (Euclidean "geometry" and Diophantus "Arithmetic") and science (Erarosthenes' calculation of the circumference of Earth, 'laws mechanic and hydrostatic, Aristarchus' heliocentric theory of Archimedes, Ptolemy's geocentric theory). The Romans' main contribution to the history of knowledge may well be engineering, which after all, is but the practical application of science to daily life. The Romans, ever practical people, made a makes a…

Television and movies have been the first to introduce me to any job I ever wanted to have. My fervent electronic media consumption started young, and my tastes were not extraordinary by any measure. Disney Princesses convinced me that being a princess was not a title, but rather a fairly unoccupied career path. I wanted to be an unabashed social climber. This all seemed so very reasonable, since they all seemed to have to work hard at being kind to local villagers, animals, and inexplicably…

The invisible being that created the push or pull of an object has been a law of science since the early ages. The first scientists to study this entity was Ancient Greek scientists Archimedes. His theory is now referred to as Archimedes 's principle, or the law of fluid mechanics. It implies that there is force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. He hypothesized this theory while in…

THE RENAISSANCE The Renaissance was a period in European history from the 14th to the 17th century. It was known as a cultural bridge between the Middle Ages and modern history. It was a time of great innovations, political dissolution, religious turmoil, and remarkable literary creations. Innovations. The Renaissance was a time of celebrated innovations. Some of them include the Blast Furnace, which enabled iron to be produced in significant quantities. The Finery Forge, which enabled them…

actually further proof of his immaturity. He is unwilling to go through the list of assets to split anything. After saying he wants his lizard, he basically shuts down. He does not say anything else in the scene, even after the lawyer asks what Archimedes, the name of his lizard, is. Lon forces his wife to answer the question. This shows his overall lack of maturity. Lon is also not a true adult because he shows a lack of respect for others. Lon makes that snide comment about believing…

One of the most well-known engineering discipline is mechanical engineering, which is, the process of designing, constructing, and use of machinery. Mechanical engineering can be date back as far as 287 – 212 BC, with the work of Archimedes’ screw, which effectively raise water in an upward direction. Mechanical engineering proportional grew in the introduction of the industrial revolution where the steam engine was made in the 18th century. In today’s time mechanical engineering, mainly…

What may appear to be a weakness to someone or something, could be a strength in another way/situation. In The Legend of Tarzan, the main character Tarzan was raised by gorillas after being abandoned by his parents in the African jungle. Later throughout his life a group of travelers found their way into the jungle in search of the gorillas, but instead find Tarzan and only he knows where the gorillas are located. Clayton (the leader of the "expedition") turned on some of his crew members and…

Techblades are technologically advanced blades for fighting. Most look like normal swords, however they possess many different aspects that are not 'normal'. Bio-recognition is a very common type of weapon enhancement. While this may cost extra, this can be very beneficial during the harsh war times. When you have your blade created with Bio-recognition it can only recognize you as the owner. When you handle the sword it will automatically start to glow, the blade with self sharpen, and it will…

Galileo built upon the great Greek philosophy Archimedes, who made many mathematical advancements. He also worked upon the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who wrote about motion (“Aristotle”) and Nicolaus Copernicus, a famous astronomer at the time who was the first to state that the planets orbited…
