Calculus

since each teacher was for a different course and they had a unique personality and style of teaching. Overall, I would have to choose Mr. Poska as my best teacher (not necessarily my favorite teacher). I took AP Calculus I & II with him during my junior year of high school, then I took Calculus III with him in my senior fall semester. I also happened to have him as my junior and senior advisor during Connect. Connect is a 40 minute period allotted for students to work on their homework, get…

Calculus, the study of change, is arguably the most recognizable and the most difficult of all the maths. Personally, I love math and when giving to the opportunity to take AP Calculus, along with IB Math Methods, it was an offer I could not refuse. However, prior to taking the class I knew nothing about what Calculus actually was. Delving in the study of Calculus, I discovered that it dates back all the way to the Egyptian Moscow…

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz was born on July 1, 1646 in the city of Leipzig. Leipzig lies in the west of The Free State of Saxony, in what was once The Holy Roman Empire, and is now referred to as Germany. Being located at the intersection of the Via Regia and Via Imperii, Leipzig has always been an important trade city and center for culture and philosophical learning. This being said, most education was restricted to Latin literature, as it was for Gottfried. However, when he was six,…

Trinity College at Cambridge. He was able to explore philosophy, chemistry, and mathematics there, and he found interest in all of these subjects. (Chalquist, 2009). He became familiar with the Roman ideas about Geometry and what little was known about Calculus. For a few years, Cambridge was shut down because of the plague, and Newton returned home to study. It was during these brief years that he made the majority of his discoveries. Newton is well known for being a physicist, but made…

Calculus was an important invention because it helped Newton continue his research on optics. If Newton had never discovered gravity, nasa and the rest of the world would be around 50 years back in technology and knowledge. Newton once said "gravity is the…

periodontium to a healthy state that can then be maintained by a combination of both professional care and patient self-care” (perio book pg371). Rebecca’s best option was to decrease the inflammation and plaque buildup by removing supra and sub gingival calculus in order to regain attachment of the gingiva.…

Sometimes seemingly mundane tasks can be deceptively complex. For example, many individuals may perceive the pouring of a liquid as a simple concept that should require very little thought or planning. If your task is to pour a liquid, you would probably not stop to plan out how you will do so. While pouring from a cup can be explained in a very basic way, there are more complex versions of liquid transfer as well. Furthermore, if you are not pouring water but a more valuable resource instead,…

There is a still chance that the probe stopped on a piece of calculus. Continued watch is advised on this tooth. Furcation and mobility will not be increased due to increase in bone levels, but changes in gingival attachment may either cover or expose the presence of furcation respectively. Since the majority of probe…

subject being taught or just didn’t try to teach the students. He went against the normal school classes, and even though “There [were] some teachers [there] that couldn’t pass the AP calculus exam”, Mr. Escalante begged to teach the the students calculus. Not one of the teachers at the high school even knew calculus, but Mr. Escalante knew it would help his students,…
