Leonhard Euler Leonhard Euler was one of the most important and influential mathematicians in history, as well as one of the most underappreciated. He made contributions to virtually every area of mathematics. It is sometimes jokingly stated that he was so prolific, that many discoveries were named for the first person after Euler to discover them (Richeson, 2008). The base of the natural logarithm, e, is named after Euler, as well as the Euler-Mascheroni constant, also called Euler’s constant.…

Jean Reyes Period 5 12-13-16 Mayan’s Most Remarkable Achievement The Mayans have accomplished many remarkable things like, their Mayan calendar, trade network map, and building cities, Even though those are remarkable, I think that their number system was the most remarkable thing that they have. The next remarkable thing that the Mayans did was their trade network map. The Mayans really had no transportation to get to where they wanted to be, and they had to carry everything themselves…

development of modern science. Another contribution Newton made to the advancement to the scientific method, and science as a whole was how he integrated mathematics into the scientific process. Although much of his work was reliant on mathematics, his study of gravity exemplified the interface of science and math. An example of his understanding of mathematics in the context of astronomy, was demonstrated by his use (and invention) of differential calculus to explain why the planets move in…

Intro to Mathematics and Engineering at an American university class is very significant, for it can help you to improve your mental abilities in mathematics and arithmetic. You studied mathematics in school but in different languages. In English, the symbols and methods are different than others. When I took the last lesson with Mr. Steven, I was surprised because I studied different things in my language. I found it easier in English because mathematics is very complicated in Arabic…

Summary I gain a lot of insight and learning from going through the process of identifying a student, getting to know them, administering a variety of assessments, writing about and interpreting the test results, researching interventions and supports, and making recommendations based on all of the information collected. My two main takeaways are that I had some difficulties with Woodcock Johnson IV assessment and that I significantly changed my mind about the pedagogy of math. I struggled…

objects that appealed to several different senses and were designed specifically to teach mathematical concepts and since the early 1900’s they have come to be considered as an essential tool in their teaching. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) recommends manipulative…

Using Reading Strategies to Solve Math Problems Introduction and Rationale In my miniunit, I will concentrate on my group of four third grade students who have learning difficulties in math. The focus of my miniunit will be to teach the students reading strategies, such as labeling the steps, understanding new vocabulary, visualizing by drawing a picture, filtering unnecessary words, and breaking the problem down into smaller steps in order to assist them in understanding and solving word…

Two core principles create the foundation for the OneState in Zamyatin’s We: the idea that humans are machines that need to be perfected, and the idea that rationality is the only correct way of thinking about the world. Both of these principles are not inherently evil or irrational, however, as the OneState takes their ideals to the extreme, their principles become less understandable and increasingly unreasonable. D-503’s use of mathematical language and the way he punctuates his record…

Let’s save the world through the internet for the first time in the history of humanity, we can use smart, programmable and decentralized money. this has seismic implications. forcing transparency to governments, disrupting bank monopolies, democratise the stock market, and dramatically reduce the cost of sending money.…

More specifically, in biology at Key stage 3 (KS3) pupils are expected after three years of study to understand ‘the fundamentals of the structure and function of living things, material cycles and energy, interactions and interdependencies and genetics and evolution’. In chemistry it is expected that pupils be taught about ‘the nature of matter, about the atom, chemical reactions, the periodic table and the Earth and the atmosphere’. In physics, the basics of physics should be taught,…
