“Where’s my mother?! I can’t see her!” I hysterically shouted to the clueless chinese taxi driver. I tried to comfort both my sisters by gently telling them everything was going to be fine. I clenched my fists as anxiety washed over me. “Don 't worry,” I whispered in a shaky voice “I 'm sure we are almost there.” It was 1:00 am and the outside world was dark and blinded by fog. After driving through a dark alleyway the taxi came to a halt. Looking around I saw our hotel; The filthy hotel had…

Topic Introduction: Stemming from the Enlightenment are fundamental concepts that sparked the American and French Revolutions. Of these enlightenment ideals, reason is by far the most important.

Bernard of Clairvaux was born in 1090 into an aristocratic French household. His family’s relative affluence afforded him an extensive education in Latin grammar and rhetoric, which was designed to equip him for the religious order. In his youth, Bernard was drawn to a new style of monastic practice (the Cistercian Order) that based its daily actions on the teachings of Benedict’s Rule.

In addition, I chose to include sleeping hours because it would cut a majority of the time that I would be without technology. However, I did not want to fully…

Before analysis became as well founded as it is today, there was no standard of rigor for analytic proofs. So, many mathematicians gave analytic proofs that were heavily based on spatial and geometric intuition.…
