Euclidean geometry

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,…

1. During group time, T along with the rest of his group were given the instructions by the gym teacher. She said, “I want you to see how many pull ups you can do. Don’t stop when you begin feeling pain, try and see if you can hold it a little longer.” T was the first person in his group to go. Before T went up to the bar, he turned his head half way to the side, just for his friend to see his face. He smirked and then quickly turned his head around and leaped toward the bar. The teacher asked T…

The mission of Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival activities is to pique students' interest in mathematics and problem solving. We also strive to open the minds of students who find math hard, tedious, and not useful. The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival was founded in 2007 by Nancy Blachman to provide intellectual stimulation and to enable students to have fun exploring and making mathematical discoveries. What Happens at at Festival The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival is a hands-on…

every branch of mathematics. He was considered one of the most revolutionary figure in mathematics. “Leonhard Euler was one of math's most pioneering thinkers, establishing a career as an academy scholar and contributing greatly to the fields of geometry, trigonometry and calculus, among many others. He released hundreds of articles and publications during his lifetime, and continued to publish after losing his sight” ( Bio. ). Euler was born in Basel on April 15, 1707. He spent most of his…

For my research, I chose Maurits Escher’s lithographic print Encounter. Escher was a famous mathematically inspired artist whose woodcuts, engravings, and other works blended art and science and aesthetics and symmetry. The main features of all his artworks are impossible architectural constructions, explorations of infinity, and other optical illusions, including tessellations. Escher was travelling a lot all over the Europe, what had a great influence on the character of his works. World War…

Analyzing the life of Maurits Cornelis Escher as he allows his viewers to enter a world of surrealism through his abstract art free of control of reason and convention. MC Escher was an artist who decided to defy the laws of realism in art in order to express his perception of the world. Exploring the history of MC Escher as well as studying similar artists in order to get a better understanding of the Surrealistic Art Movement in the 1920s. History of the artist: Maurits Cornelis Escher, one…

The History of Mathematics Almost from the beginning, math or rather counting has been part of human existence. Close to the time language was discovered, humans have be using there indexes to begin counting. Counting seasons, counting days, along with keeping track of passing time have all been a part of earlier human civilizations. Prehistoric artifacts dating back over 20,000 years have suggested that early humans made attempts to quantify time. Therefore, it is no accident, that the…

Research shows that Hypatia of Alexandria was one of the first women to make substantial contribution to the development of mathematics. She lived in the great center of ancient learning; Alexandria, Egypt, in the 4th century A.D. While it t is assumed that she studied mathematics under her father, Thon of Alexandria; it is known that she was the head of the Platonist school in Alexandria around 400 A.D. Hypatia contributed in many ways to math; it is said that she edited the work on “The Conics…

The history of mathematics in the near consisted of three distinct divisions of time. The mid-third millennium is when there became evidence for knowledge of symmetry and geometry. Then continuing on into the later third millennium the establishment of accounting for time and labor became prevalent as well as the use of the sexagesimal place value system. The first systematic accounting techniques were developed in the southern Iraq city of Uruk as a result of a growth in the size of the city by…
