Clifford algebra

"Power" she is trying to use her poetic gift to stand up for these racial injustices and to try to make a conscience difference. Lorde wants to be heard, instead of just using rhetoric and the art of effective writing, she is searching for the power she has as a African-American woman poet to make people hear and think about racial injustices. "Power" (1030) is a poem that has two different levels of meaning, literal and nonliteral. The first being a narrative poem literally about Clifford Glover, a ten-year-old African-American Queens boy who was shot by a Caucasian police officer that was acquitted by a jury. The second being the nonliteral, more poetic intent, Audre Lorde's reaction and feelings of fury and disgust over this incident. She entangles this racial injustice with her own furious and unsatisfied feelings in this piece. The first two stanzas are about Lorde's feelings and images she sees due to this violent tragedy. The third stanza narrates the story of Clifford Glover's death and the taped proof of the racial insensitivity displayed by the police officer. The fourth stanza talks of the trial of the officer and the jury that granted him an acquittal. A jury made of mostly white men and only one African -American woman. The last stanza returns back to the poets feelings about the injustice that the young boy received and her fury over it. She evens shares her thoughts of what awful acts she might perform if she does not use her own power as an…

Scientist And Mathematicians Of The 1800s The purpose of this articulated essay is to inform the reader about two beings in the 19th century who contributed to the fields of mathematics and scientifics. so, may this article discuss to you the purpose of these two men and the ways they changed the world, through thick and thin , hard and easy, and how they showed the world their ill-minded ideas and turned them into objects that shaped it and the people who inhabit it. so, may this essay please…

Different number were even believed to have a cosmic significance or magical powers. However the main thrust of Chinese mathematics came from the Empire’s desire to have administrators that were well versed in mathematics. Therefore in order to educate, a textbook called, “Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art” was written. This important text became a vital part of Chinese education. This tool provided hundreds of problems in taxation, engineering and payment of wages. The text served as a…

Ms. Caldwell definitely deserves being teacher of the year. If you ask me why I will say many things, for example, math wasn’t a subject I valued until I had Ms. Caldwell for Algebra 1. She always helped us and made sure she answered the questions we had. She would make my classmates and I go early in the mornings to her office so we could explain what we had done wrong and if we didn’t understand the material she would explain the material in detail and say why the answer is right. Her…

There is also evidence of the use of decimal numbers in cuneiform mathematical texts most notably in several centuries older division exercise from the ancient city Ebla (Friberg 2000, 1986). On the front side of the hand tablet (UET 6/2 222) is a proverb, which is translated by Friberg to mean “when a dog bites, the morsels get into its mouth” (see figure 2). The presence of proverbs on one side of the tablet was common. On the reverse side of the tablet is an example of a square root of a…

their major requires it or not. This test has three different sections with a total of forty questions. The three sections are fifteen question Basic Skills Algebra, fifteen Algebra and Precalculus and ten quantitative reasoning questions. Once the test is complete, your schedule either consists of a math course in the first semester or the student will wait to take one in a later semester. During this test, you are not allowed to use any source besides your brain! James Madison’s math placement…

I continued on in high school with geometry, a second year of algebra, precalculus, trigonometry, and calculus. Thus far, my math courses in college have also been easy for me. My least favorite teacher was my calculus teacher, and it was not solely because of the tough subject matter. He was an engineer who took up teaching after retirement. He very simply could not teach well. He would stand in front of the board and talk through the problem at a pace that was almost impossible to follow. I…

social environments, numbers surround me. Over many years, I have learned how to derive meaning from them or use them to help me figure things out. During this unit, I have learnt, re-learnt and applied various areas of mathematics to help me achieve the outcomes and find solutions to each ‘Thinking Time Problem’ [TTP] presented. These relate to the Australian Curriculum- Mathematics proficiency strands of problem solving and reasoning, while the ‘What I Know About’ [WIKA] activities relate to…

done alright with that mentality until I began studying for myself. I would look into books for biology, and algebra. Algebra was interesting to me because it was simple equations with letters. You would have to just make a letter equal a number, or another letter. For example: 4=x+1; in turn the answer would be x=3. It would then get more complex later on, where the teachers would throw things like, “X=8b+4” which would take longer to solve. The year was a breeze for me. The next year was not…

Abstract: This paper is a report on the development of algebra throughout time. It’s slow, but nevertheless, unyielding progression brings us to the algebra we know today. However, it was not always based on the abstract, rather, it was born out of necessity. The need to calculate unknown quantities gave rise to algebraic methods and techniques practiced and taught even today. And, even though nowadays, algebra is a rather abstract mathematics, this was not always the case. It was through…
