Geometry

Math related subjects such as Algebra and Geometry were subjects that I would go as far as saying that I truly struggled in. As a child ,math seemed like the most pointless subject in the world. It was until I entered the 5th grade is when it started to get serious. Learning how to add and subtract numbers seemed easy, but never would I have thought that numbers could also be multiplied and divided. When…

Carved in the Hellenistic period, Draped Relief of Youth is a relief by an unknown artist from Europe. Today this sculpture is on display in the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University. Through the use of symmetric geometry, vertical directionality, and interplay between light and shadow, the artist of Draped Relief of Youth captures the essence of youth, namely ephemerality and unblemished form. A detailed description of the essence of youth, and physical…

Molecules are a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. Molecules are three-dimensional entities and therefore should be depicted in three dimensions. My group decided on the claim that as electrons are bonded to a central atom, the greater the electron repulsion, causing an increase in the bond angles. Bond angles are the angles that are formed between two adjacent bonds on the same central…

structure, thirty-two double bonds are to be accounted for. The molecular geometry of Pentane shows that each central bonded atom forms a tetrahedral shape. Looking at the Diethylamine molecular structure, the central atoms are made up of the four carbon atoms and the nitrogen atom in the middle. This structure is comprised of thirty double bonds and one lone pair on the central, nitrogen atom. Because of this, the molecular geometry of the structure is tetrahedral on the carbon molecules,…

Once again, I was horrified of the concept. I thought that if I struggled in Algebra, then I would struggle in Geometry. Nope! I was very wrong. I actually did not have any issues in the class, just a few minor misunderstandings. I passed with an A for both parts of the…

I. INTRODUCTION: Tadao Ando a Japanese Architect well known for his use of monochrome colors, raw materials, simple forms. Tadao Ando works reveal a dialogue with nature and tradition (culture); Shintai and space; and geometry. In addition to many other concept and sub-themes. Beside the present of Japanese traditional concept in his architecture, Ando was influence by Modern architecture (Louis Kahn and Le Corbusier) I will discuss in this paper the vision and concept that Ando‘s Architecture…

The purpose of this lab was to determine the relationships between boiling point and molecular structure. To do this we used four different chemicals, all with the same molecule but just with different subscripts. To preform this experiment, we were required to use a hot plate, water bath, alcohols, ketones, and alkalines, a test tube, capillaries, and a test tube cap. Once the water was boiling, we lowered the test tube into the water and waited until the chemical began to boil. Once the…

famous equation associated with geometry is the Euler Formula. The formula is (V - E + F = 2). It states ‘For any polyhedron that doesn't intersect itself, the Number of Faces plus the Number of Vertices (corner points) minus the Number of Edges always equals 2” (mathsisfun.com). In conclusion, Leonhard Euler was one of math's most preeminent thinkers because of what he contributed to many areas of the math world today. He helped contribute to the field of geometry, trigonometry, and calculus…

Lab 4: Crystal Structure and X-Ray Diffraction of Materials Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to study the relationship between the geometry of a sample and its diffraction patterns through an exploration of reciprocal space. In this experiment, both a single crystal piece of Si with a (004) reflection plane and a Si powder sample are scanned, as well as the peaks the locations of the diffraction peaks on the single crystal. The collected data is then analyzed to determine the…

not good enough, yet I still tried my best. There were times I gave up, but when I passed that class with a B, I was thrilled. Although I tried my best in Algebra, I knew that I was capable of doing better. Once I got to high school and was taking Geometry, I struggled even more. I would call my brother practically every day, so he could assist me in what I needed. Then one day, all of a sudden,…
