Arithmetic

Flatland on Mathematics and Literature Commonly the notion of mathematics and literature are relegated to two different spheres of influence, left to be independent of one another. The two disciplines enchant and bewilder the masses as they help to persuade the human race of getting infinitesimally closer to the truths of the universe. In this regard, mathematics and literature can combine in an attempt to push the boundaries of prior understanding in order to present a new facet of a…

was an implication of improvemnt. Although, Rush wanted improvements for women’s education they were not allowed to be taught equal or advanced to their male counterpart. Particularly, white men were taught subjects such as philosophy and advanced arithmetic, while women were discouraged to be at equal level. Rush’s implications on women’s education can be assumed as men not wanting women to be in a position of power if given the opportunity to learn advanced study.…

Q1i. Knowing the poet’s thought is knowing where the poet’s thoughts come from, what inspires him/her, what motivated the poet to put his ideas together he/she did, and why the poet chose to present those ideas in the way he/she did. These things can be different for each poet, that’s why Ion makes such a distinction between Homer and every other poet (531a4). Socrates believes that God instills poets with these thoughts and ideas and possesses the poet (534c3). God is the source of the poet’s…

which m = (11 - 1)(13 - 1) = 10 x 12 = 120. Find a number not divisible by m, such as 7, the first public number. The second public number is derived from multiplying the two initial numbers, 11 x 13 = 143. The private number is formed using modular arithmetic with the first public number to find d, where 7d = 1 mod 120. So the private number is 103. These three numbers are then used as the codes to encode and decode the messages, much like the codes sent out through the enigma machine during…

The Parthenon Athens and the Pantheon in Rome are two of the most well known buildings in the world. Despite being very different structures outwardly, they are similar in foundation and use. Perhaps this is not surprising as the ruler who reconstructed the Pantheon was, “widely travelled…and admired Greek culture.” (Cline, 2017) Both temples are mathematically based. Math and especially geometry was a key part of ancient Greek culture. The Greeks invested, “platonic solids and…certain…

schools around the world he proposed the thought, “Do we really need schools? I don’t mean education, just forced schooling: six classes a day, 5 days a week, 9 months a year, for 12 years” (2, Gatto). Don’t give the rational of reading, writing, and arithmetic because over two million homeschoolers have put that justicication to rest. Even our presidents didn’t stick with such a school system and turn out all right. When I was a child I used to believe my boredom was caused by other people,…

” (“Agosta:”). In 1490 there was a young boy which Leonardo treated him like a son . Some of Leonardo education came from his unmarried parents . Books gave him knowledge .” Learning at a higher level was divided into seven liberal arts(grammar, arithmetic, logic, music, astronomy,geometry, and rhetoric)plus the disciplines of theology and philosophy.” (“Agosta:”).In 1455 European books were rare and expensive . Huge impact on the spread of knowledge…

At times, trying to picture a mathematical problem in the real world is better solved by using abstract math. Ed Yong from National Geographic states that “when learning math, abstract symbols work better than real world examples” due to important logical thinking skills learned (2008). Learning theory is considered how well a person can relate a topic and solve the problem at an understandable quicker rate. According to National Geographic, there was a new study that shows that students who are…

process in which a work is mocked or denounced, sometimes in a comical way to judge or critique the original work’s intent. Jonathan Swift uses this exact same technique in “A Modest Proposal” to ridicule William Petty’s plan for Ireland in “Political Arithmetic”. William Petty’s work outlines a plan that would allow England to manipulate Ireland’s people and land to improve English wealth and prosperity at the expense of Ireland’s sovereignty. Swift mocks Petty’s dehumanization of people and…
