Euclidean geometry

Mathematic professionals continue to encourage the spreading of certain skills, despite having direct application into the real world. This idea is described by a real life experience I have had, learning Euclidean proofs in my previous Geometry class. A proof is a written account of the complete thought process that is used to reach a conclusion. Each step of the process is supported by a theorem, postulate or definition verifying why the step is possible. As I was learning…

Allegory of Geometry” by Laurent de La Hyre, which was made in oil on canvas 1649. The painting is signed by La Hyre on the lower center part of the painting along with the date created. La Hyre is a French painter who was “born in Feb. 27, 1606, in Paris, France”(1) and later “died in Dec. 28, 1656, in Paris”(1). La Hyre is famous painter who is known for painting in the French Baroque style and for painting in the Classicism style. La Hyre’s “paintings reflects the influence of Vouet,…

Zaha Hadid, an avant-garde architecture, we can say and describes zaha hadid’s works are influenced by the early Russian Avant grade, she some people say that zaha has reached the summit in her career as an architect, she came to the architecture field from a western country with a new perspective way in architecture, the way that it should be don and the it should be preceded, the way that zaha think about Islamic architecture in a different way, she sees that modern architecture didn’t…

The simplicity of early childhood can be rather appealing to adults who can remember their joys of running and playing. There can be great pleasure in watching young children run around and explore carefree, where the burdens of the world are not weighing on their shoulders. Lewis Carroll often enjoyed spending time with the Liddell children whom he lived next to at Christ Church University. Alice Liddell’s actions and outlook inspired Carroll to write his series of Alice and her adventures.…

“Allegory of Geometry” by Laurent de La Hyre, which was done in oil on canvas, in 1649. The painting is signed by La Hyre on the lower center part of the painting along with the date created. La Hyre is a French painter who was “born in Feb. 27, 1606, in Paris, France”(1) and later “died in Dec. 28, 1656, in Paris”(1). La Hyre is also known by La Hire, but his official name is spelled “La Hyre”. La Hyre is a painter of the French Baroque period who focused heavily in Classicism style which…

pointed out that the Babylonians knew about the 3-4-5 right triangle at least a thousand years before Pythagoras. Pythagoras theorem is used in surveying and navigation and eventually led to the growth in many other mathematical fundamentals like Euclidean geometry. Stewart elucidates the importance of each equation by mentioning its uses in the modern world, like while logarithms are generally not employed now that we have inexpensive calculators and computers, but many measurements like sound,…

knowledge was (and still is) the universe: what is the structure of the world we live in? Either India or Greek the philosophers can give a reliable answer. They could only speculate. However, Hellenistic age nurtures progress in mathematics (Euclidean "geometry" and Diophantus "Arithmetic") and science (Erarosthenes' calculation of the circumference of Earth, 'laws mechanic and hydrostatic, Aristarchus' heliocentric theory of Archimedes, Ptolemy's geocentric theory). The Romans' main…

the material the city was made of wasn’t of normal matter. The captain of the sailors had a man swept away by an angle, described as being acute yet acting like an obtuse angle (Hull 10-12). The mathematics of the 4th-Dimension are called “non-Euclidean”, because they do not follow the laws of logic…

survey of the period. It is, at times, too unwieldy; some of Hobsbawm’s tangential forays into areas seemingly not germane to the book are alarming (for example his ill-advised generalizations about Egypt, Asia, North America, Latin America, Euclidean geometry, etc.). Nevertheless, Hobsbawm’s position is largely persuasive. The global supremacy of Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century is undeniable. The liberal idea that humans have a natural right to pursue profit and accumulate…

mimicking of the process that was used to create the fractal set. Another poet, Diana Der-Hovanessian, wrote a poem referring to another author’s poem about Euclid Geometry, and her poem was titled “Fractals”, showing her intention. She asks, “it was symmetry that we must contemplate/” (qtd. in Birkens & Coon, pg.158), referring to Euclidean Geometry but also to fractals as it possesses…
