Archimedes

aims at describing, predicting and understanding the natural situation basing on real proof.The history of natural sciences is characterised with astonishing achievements and discoveries by famous scientists for example Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Archimedes, Galileo Galilei and many others and because of them, we are able to know the fundamental laws of physics, we are able to know what’s always taking place in my body, we are able to know the 92 elements that make up a periodic…

On April 1, 1776 in Paris, France Ambroise-Fancois Germain and Marie-Madeleine Gruguelu welcomed their second daughter, Sophie Germain. Sophie was the second of three daughters for the pair. It is said that her family was very wealthy although her father’s occupation was not certain. Most people believed that Amrboise-Francois Germain was a silk merchant. He was also a political member of bourgeoisie at the Estate General, which exposed her and her sisters to politics at a young age. Sophie was…

Since she was confined to her home, she spent a lot of her time in her father’s library. One book specifically caught her interest. In the book it talked about how Archimedes, an Ancient Greek god for mathematics, was sparred to death over him studying a geometric figure instead of responding to a Roman soldier. Reading the book about him instantly made her excited to learn more. Germain would then go into her father’s…

I did a sgraffito design smoothed coil pot for a project I did. It was constructed of clay and about eight inches tall, and a few inches abreast at the base. As it went up the width of the pot increased, through use of bigger coils, until it reached its midpoint in terms of height. Then the width decreased to about the same width as the base. Ergo, it resembles a vase. A rich red underglaze was applied to the pot before firing. Then, using the sgraffito technique, I carved away a snake that…

Horizontal World Even though the midwest is not as sought after as other states, there are certain aspects that make it just a unique. Its ability to provide a home to many immigrants from other countries looking for a new start is one of its qualities that make it so amazing. The midwest is a vast open land in the middle of the United Stats. Many of the resident rely on agriculture as a primary source of income. In the expert from The Horizontal World, Debra Marquart creates vivid imagery,…

The “cattle problem” could be considered the king of all these. It was supposedly written by Archimedes, who was interested in large numbers such as those in the problem—amazingly, the result was so large that it was not calculated until the late 1800s. Greek influence spread to India via Alexander the Great’s conquest, and mathematics developed and…

Greek culture had been a huge impact on history, mainly due to their discoveries in education and social standards. Although their culture still live on today, there methods differ from the modern American culture. Greek cultures still lives in modern society in the areas of education, architecture, politics and women in society. Greece educational system was manly dived into three levels, which were primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary schooling consisted of kindergarten for one or two…

written history. The pythagoreans not only made the earliest improvements in philosophy and geometry, they also presented the heliocentric hypothesis that the earth revolves around sun and not the other way around though it was believed at the time. Archimedes found out that sinking a solid object will dislodge an amount of liquid that matches the object’s weight. The Greeks had so much so influence in the early ideas of science, that most signs that are often used in physics and math equations…

close melting points (660 and 650 degrees Celsius), the only substantial difference is in their densities (Robson et al, 2012 p 450). Aluminum has a density of 2.7g/ml whereas Magnesium has a density of 1.7g/ml. Density is determined based on the Archimedes principle which states that “when an object is immersed in water then it experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of water displaced” (Robson et al, 2012 p 453). The metals bars are taken one at a time and then weighed both in air and in…

to be a surgeon. That I may find meaning in the premature death of my father and prevent others from a similar fate: I choose to be a surgeon. A residency position in surgery is a critical step towards achieving my dreams and aspirations. So like Archimedes I humbly say, “give me a place to stand, and I will move the…
