In the textbook, on page 201, it says, "Today in the sciences, books are usually either texts or retrospective upon one aspect or another of the scientific life." I believe that all textbooks, articles, and anything else that scientists published are quite complicated to assume that they are readable which means they can sound good while you read them but afterwards, they are not. I, however, think that it is impossible to disagree with something you just read because it sounds good and it seem…
Every great discovery begins with the triggering of interest. An event or a finding sparks the interest in a scientist, and after countless hours of research, the discovery is complete. The same held true for my discovery of RPI. At my high school, there is an annual junior awards ceremony at which the top students of the junior class receive special awards, usually linked to colleges. One of the awards being given out was the Rensselaer Medalist Award, and I happened to be the recipient.…
Math in the Brain Scientists have found, through research using brain-imaging analysis, that the brain does not work like we once thought it did. It was previously thought that the way the brain works out a math problem is totally different than what was previously understood. The research found four different stages of the brain while working a math problem that disproved the theory that math in the brain is performed in the same place as language processing (Weisberger, 2016). The research…
It was a Tuesday afternoon and the heat in Mr. Martin's room felt as if we were next to the sun. The schools maintenance crew always kept the furnace on the highest setting possible. “So class what did we talk about yesterday ?” said Mr. Martin as he takes out the 590 page textbook on accounting and finance. “We talked about how to find assets, liabilities and owner's equity,” says Ms. Know” it all in the front of the classroom.” As Mr. Martin begins his lesson, I quietly whisper to my best…
has discovered many laws and theories within the new areas. He also made some contributions to a science-linked topic called chemistry, as it included to Newton being a main supporter of the atomic theory. Romanowski (2014) tells us that Isaac mathematics was important as he came up with the area of binominal theorem. Binominal was a simple method to identify the coefficients. The Binominal theorem was invented to help with the topics of probability and statistics. The discovery of the…
He opened a school called the Semicircle and set up a brotherhood for both men and women. He became a priest of Diaspolis, and he started his own religion called Mathematikoi. He is known for making many mathematic discoveries during his life. He was the first to prove that the sum of a triangle is equal to two right angles, and that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the other two sides. It is believed that he…
Sir Isaac Newton was a scholar, a mathematician, a scientist, and a professor. He created the 3 laws of physics and came up with one of the most famous gravity equations in history and more. This paper will explore his life, his achievements, and his studies, throughout his long lifetime. Sir Isaac Newton was born December 25th, 1642 in Woolsthorpe Lincolnshire, England. Two months before Isaac’s birth his father passed away. At 3 years of age his mother remarried and moved away leaving Isaac…
that the acceleration of an object is dependent on two variables. The third laws states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s discovery of calculus led to way more discoveries of solving mathematical problems. In mathematics Newton was the original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Newton's Philosophiae was one of the most important single works in the history of modern science. Calculus is a form of algebraic expression. Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried…
Recording Engineer Most people think that going into careers in music isn’t wise, due to the fact that they think only a few careers are available. They also are under the impression that the jobs either require you to be performing, managing or producing and that they don’t pay well. But what they don’t know is that there is actually a wide variety of Jobs available in the music industry. Jobs that, not only, are suited to all strengths but also pay well and are very capable of supporting you…
At my middle school, we had fewer opportunities for STEM than we did at my elementary school. That’s clearly not okay. I want to build up places for kids to learn about and love STEM while they are in school as a part of extracurriculars. By talking to the administrations in these places, I think they would be very receptive to the…
