Infinitesimal

I don't want any of your statistics; I took your whole batch and lit my pipe with it. I hate your kind of people. You are always ciphering out how much a man's health is injured, and how much his intellect is impaired, and how many pitiful dollars and cents he wastes in the course of ninety-two years' indulgence in the fatal practice of smoking; and in the equally fatal practice of drinking coffee; and in playing billiards occasionally; and in taking a glass of wine at dinner, etc. etc. And you…

The Hearts War With Emotions The heart is the center of our body, the part that pumps blood to our body in constant beats. In the poetic short essay “Joyas Voladoras,” by Brian Doyle, the main topic is about the many hearts in the world. In this short essay, Doyle starts off by talking about one of the smallest birds, the hummingbirds. He talks about her amazing ability to fly really fast and do amazing stunts, but everything came at a cost. Although, there hearts are amazing, they burn out…

science. (Isaac Newton biography). Later the university close so Newton returned to private study. The university closed because of the great plague and it came to Cambridge. It was during this 18-month hiatus that he conceived the method of infinitesimal calculus, set foundations for his theory of light and color, and gained significant insight into the laws of planetary motion—insights that eventually led to the publication of his Principia in 1687 (Isaac Newton biography). It was during this…

If you asked me a year and a half ago what I wanted my vocation to be, I would have promptly blurted out: “Forensic pathologist.” If you ask me now, I will respond with: “I don’t know, it may change, but I’ve got an idea.” While my interests remain within the world of science, it’s still an entire world nonetheless. I have opened myself up to exploring new career paths within this world because of one factor during the end of my sophomore year of high school—exploring the unknown. I did not…

1- Summary This study is based on the analysis of pressure distribution around a NACA 23015 airfoil section with a flap of length equal to the 30% of the cord at different angles of incidence and flap settings. The experiment was performed in a non –return wind tunnel at a Reynolds number of 4.4×〖10〗^5 and at a Mach number of 0.073. It is of note that increasing incidence will increase lift produced until the critical angle of attack, where the airfoil stalls; moreover, deploying a flap will…

left is our works and the memories of those who know us. So, one may conclude that the things we do matter because they can influence the world around us. Unfortunately, the effects we make, from a universal point of view, are inconsequential and infinitesimal at best. This feeling of not mattering in the universe we inhabit sent me down a path of depression and lethargic…

Should a single aspect of our appearance, define who we are as a person? India Arie passionately disagrees, as is expressed in her hit song “I Am Not My Hair.” The idea of ethnic profiling has been played out through generations, however, by the last decades or so, it has been key to shaping the morale and the mentality of young adults who become consumed with insecurities and stereotypical paradigms. Her laudable critique of this needless trend has expanded beyond the boundaries of a hit song,…

or You Only Live Once? An average person only lives 75 years, and while that may seem like plenty of time to seek out one’s innermost desires, compared to the life of earth, who celebrates her 4.5 billionth birthday this year, our time frame is infinitesimal. The poem To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time by Robert Herrick, teaches the importance of living one’s life to its fullest before one becomes too old, because life is short. After reading this poem, I was hit with a wave of realization…

Words have always been of great importance to me. As a child, I loved stories and fantasies and books and anything with the magical power of transporting myself to another world. As I worked with my abuela in her garden I would maunder about a fictional land and a character named “Mariana” who was very similar to myself. Only, slightly better. She was prettier, smarter, more popular and frequented many adventures that I desperately craved. She was my escape. She took my dreams, my anxieties and…
