Geometry

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…

Pythagoras is a greek mathematician and astronomer. He is best known for the Pythagorean theorem but is also known for other math related theories. He founded a group called the Pythagoreans, who also are credited to math related theories. He also has many astronomical theories, some proven and some disproven. Pythagoras was born around 570 BC in Samos, Greece. His dad was a traveling merchant, so his mom had to raise his siblings and him by herself most of the time but Pythagoras did travel…

Integrals have been around for hundreds of years and have been used in several ways to solve complicated math problems. An integral is a function that expresses the area under the curve of a graph of a function. The first time the technique was brought forward was by a greek astronomer Eudoxus in the 370 BC. He used the technique called as the method of exhaustion which helped him find area or volume. The way he achieved this was using infinite numbers of division. Later Archimedes came along…

reputation. Among his greatest admires were mathematical who recognized in his work principles (Smith). The remarkable part was that Escher received no formal mathematics education beyond secondary school. Escher work included two broad areas: the geometry od space, and the logic of space. Escher used various, of what one may call techniques within these broad areas. For instance, tessellations, polyhedra, the shape of space, logic of space, and self-reference.…

The mathematic classes I teach at the high school are one section of Advanced Mathematics, two sections of Algebra 1, two sections of high school Pre-Algebra, and one section of eighth grade Pre-Algebra. The other two mathematic teachers cover Geometry and Algebra 2. These teachers also teach science classes, so I am the only fulltime mathematics teacher. Within the junior/senior high building, there are 80 junior high students (seventh and eighth grade) and 150-200 high school students…

Geometry can be applied to a lot of professions. Physical therapy is just one of the professions that have geometry involved in their job. We all know that geometry would most likely deal with angles. So, in what particular activity does geometry help in being a physical therapist? Some of the physical therapy clinics are retraining runners when their technique causes injury and the main diagnosis always comes down to the geometry of a runner's stride. According to Moncivais (2015), “running is…

reaps from this profession would not be possible without the use of geometry. Without geometry people who are affected by arthritis, strokes, heart disease, and other conditions that require long term care could not be helped. Athletes nowadays have the ability to prevent knee, leg, back, shoulder, and other musculoskeletal injuries sooner than they ever have previously, all because of geometry. A very impressive example of geometry that is being used in physical…

Stillwater, Oklahoma, recently opened the Oklahoma State University Art Museum. This museum has had various exhibitions since it’s opening, including the James Rosenquist Exhibition. One of the most talked about pieces of the exhibition is Geometry of Fire. Geometry of Fire is an oil painting on canvas that measures 128 inches by 300 inches. The painting itself takes up a whole wall in the museum, which forces the view to stand at the opposite wall of the room if they would like to see the…
