Euclid

She had to use the Greek lettering system to solve math problems and correct equations, due to the Arabic numerical system not being introduced at the time. Most of Hypatia’s known mathematics were conducted by using the formulas of x-y=a and x^2-y^2=(x-y) +b, which were referred to as simultaneous pairs. Most of her well known contributions to math were revisions to the work of her male cohorts. Three of her heavily appraised corrections and commentaries were to that of: Ptolemy’s “Almagest”, Apollonius’ review of Conics, and her father Theon’s lessons of the “Euclid Elements”. She even revised her commentary of “The Arithmetica” conducted by…

Over time, the Greek civilization has had many different and unique inventions. However, Greek Geometry was one of the most crucial inventions ever discovered. Geometry helped to find out precise measurements, construct advanced architecture, and become the leading civilization in mathematics. The invention was discovered by a mathematician named Euclid. He had many math theorems of his own, and later wrote his own book. The Elements contained all the works from previous Greek mathematicians,…

Archimedes was born in Syracuse, Sicily in 287 B.C and died in 212 B.C he was a greek inventor, mathematician, engineer, and astronomer his work is very beneficial to us still in the 21st century. Throughout his life most of his work include his mathematician works and physics. As a child Archimedes developed curiosity and became penchant for problem solving. After learning all that he could from his teachers in Syracuse he moved to Alexandria,Egypt and went to a school in which it was…

Hypatia was the earliest female mathematician. She was born 350 CE and died 415 CE. This makes her about 65 years of age. She was the daughter of Theon. He was a mathematician and an astronomer. Theon is most known for his preservation of Euclid’s Elements. Additionally, he is known for his writing and comments on Ptolemy’s books, Almagest and Handy Tables. Theon influenced Hypatia greatly; she continued his program. This program was to preserve mathematical and astronomical Greek heritage in…

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.…

The story of Hypatia is what led her to her upcoming and how she made an impact to society. Her father Theon of Alexandria, Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus influenced her in like and learning to love and have a passion for mathematics and everything that came with it. In her time of A.D she was the only woman who made a big difference. Hypatia was a popular teacher of interesting topics. She drew attention to herself by being phenomenal at what she did. Her words embraced others as much as…

I used to believe that geometry wasn’t possible without algebra, that geometry was essentially a representation of algebra. I didn’t have an experience of geometry that focused on the creativity and ingenuity that I’ve come to now know. Chapter 6 of Journey Through Genius reiterates how impressive the discipline of geometry truly is. Cardano’s solution to the general solution was astonishing, to me, because of the literal use of geometry to find the appropriate algebraic identities and the…

Leonhard Euler, a Calvinist mathematician whose work in math is still praised today. One thing Euler is praised for is how he made math so simple and was able to give an extremely in-depth analysis. Euler was born April 15, 1707, in Bale, Switzerland. Europe’s best mathematician, Johann Bernoulli, tutored him. Since Leonhard Euler’s father was Calvinist pastor, he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. The reason that he didn’t was Bernoulli saw his mathematical potential and advocated for…

The most prevalent obstructions per mile were street infrastructure such as utility poles and hydrants, permanent signs, and driveways. Euclid neighborhood had the highest number of driveway at 62.52 driveways per segment mile. This neighborhood is largely comprised of homes that have been converted to offices hence the large number of driveways on small pieces of land. In addition, mean street width was average with a lot of the street furnishing obstructing the sidewalks. Majority of average…

I have loved playing soccer for many years, I met many people, made many friends, but what would stick with me the most would be the competitions I got to participate in with my teammates.During the Euclid Memorial Tournament Finals our team, Euclid Elite, lost in the semi finals.Many members of our team tried very hard and worked together to try to win, but there were a few who had given up before the game was even over causing us to play even worse, contributing to us losing.The game ended and…
