History of physics

most astounding evaluations in Greek amid his first year, and was chosen as a Rufus Choate researcher for a long time. He graduated as the sole magna cum laude understudy in 1907, likewise accepting respects in natural science, human science, and history. Earnest's first occupation out of school was as an instructor and specialist at the all-dark Howard University. Later, in 1909, he worked in exploration at Woods Hole Marine…

Copernicus was the most prominent astronomer in history of the world. He landed in the Renaissance period in North Poland from 1473 to 1543. Copernicus was cared for by his paternal uncle and attended multiple universities before, he died in 1543. Copernicus brought up the idea of a heliocentric solar system, and wrote a book that is still considered the best book ever written on astronomy. He has prompted the work of many scientists after him and we still believe in a heliocentric universe.…

well educated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin). His father worked as a Russian public figure in the field of public education.

William Oughtred was born in Eton, Buckinghamshire, England in 1574 and died on June 30, 1660, in Albury, Surrey. He was not only an English mathematician and an inventor; he was a vicar of Shalford and then became an Anglican priest. He received schooling from Eton School where he received a bachelor’s degree in 1596 and master’s degree from King's College in 1600. He is considered one of the greatest mathematical teachers and the world's great mathematicians from the seventeenth century. He…

In his book, For the Love of Physics, Dr. Lewin shares his ideas of learning and teaching physics as a sort of appreciation of art. He even confesses that he owns exponentially more books the topic of art than physics, though he does believe that every branch of physics is experimentally governed (Lewin, Goldstein). This romantic view of physics is questionable among the scientific population. Quoting an article that describes a group…

Have you ever needed to do a certain simple task, but wished there was a machine to do it for you? The purpose of a Rube Goldberg machine is to create a complicated system in order to complete a tiny, simple task. What is a Rube Goldberg machine you may ask? A Rube Goldberg machine is an over- engineered contraption that uses a chain reaction to accomplish simple tasks such as turning on the music, pouring a glass of water, etc. This specific Rube Goldberg machine’s task is to move the last…

Sarang Patel Mrs. Kopko Day of the Dead: Issac Newton Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, cosmologist, scholar and physicist (depicted in his own day as a "characteristic savant") who is generally perceived as a standout amongst the most powerful researchers ever and a key figure in the logical upheaval.

misunderstanding and different views of their personal greatness. As a child it was clear that Galileo had a bright future ahead of him. Throughout his life he made many discoveries and theories. He enjoyed observing nature and relating it back to physics. He also designed and made a telescope that helped lead education in the future. Because of his beliefs the church…

On Monday October 12th I had the honor of interviewing my college algebra professor Dr. Layne Heitz. The interview was very interesting and I learned many knew things about Dr. Heitz. Dr. Heitz has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in mathematics from the University of West Texas and has recently received his doctorate degree. He currently teaches college Algebra, finite math method for teachers, geometry, and sometimes calculus or trigonometry. Dr. Heitz said that he always knew that he…
