Since the dawn of time, mathematics has been one of the most important fields of study in the world. Throughout the ages, the significance of mathematics has increased and has caused a plethora of new technological advances, such as the cell phone, computer, and calculator. One book that shows the importance of math is Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card. The novel tells the story of a small boy named Ender Wiggins who travels into outer space to fight alien invaders known as “buggers.” Ender is…

The Scientific Revolution caused a lot of conflicts with the Catholic Church that was slowly losing power in Europe. The Renaissance introduced a lot of different innovations, philosophies, and ways to think about religion and government. Humanism was a way of basing things on evidence and not supernatural. Also humanists thought that human choice changed history and not supernatural beings. Scientists like Copernicus and Galileo had troubles with the church trying to spread information on how…

How To Classify A Robot With the rise of technology the idea of robots and humans merging is not that farfetched. In the book, Genesis by Bernard Beckett, Anax (the student) is taking a test for The Academy, an exclusive in the post apocalyptic Republic. In front of three examiners, she gives everything she has, for her love of history, especially, the life of Adam Forde, a hero of an earlier rebellion. Anax assumes the test is to earn a spot at the Academy as she explains Adam’s imprisonment…

The first chapter “Apples and Oranges” of the book tells the story of the British natural philosopher Isaac Newton and how he developed his gravitational equation (F=G × M × m÷d^2), which led to a monumental event landing a man on the moon. (Guillen, 1995, p.6) The second chapter "Between a Rock and a Hard Life" tells the story of Swiss physicist Daniel…

With the help of Tycho Brahe's observations, Kepler discovered that the orbits of the planets can be described with a curve. By trial and error, he discovered that an ellipse with the sun could accurately describe the path of a planet about the sun. Ellipses (which does not look like the usual circle, but as an egg) is described mainly by the length of its two axes. A circle has the same diameter if we measure it across or up and down. However, an ellipse has diameters of different lengths. The…

Three people with three ideas, and a whole bunch of time between them. Beginning with Ptolemy and his claim that the earth was must be the center of the solar system based on basic evidence that the stars in the sky seemed to rotate around the earth. Including the sun that rose in the east and set in the west every day. Theis model of the solar system was widely accepted as fact for over 2,000 years and was later named the geocentric model. Two scientists that came later on changed the world's…

is afraid to die. God promise many times to Abraham numerous offspring, but because his wife is barren, Abraham misunderstood the promise of God and conceive Ismael with the housemaid of his wife, Hagar.

This miracle is the central part of the story leading Abraham to trust totally in God, as he saw that God kept His promises. (Sheriffs, D. C.…

Mathematics: The Greatest Legacy from Ancient Greece to the Modern World The greatest legacy of Ancient Greece to the modern world is mathematics. Ancient Greece was the source of great mathematicians like Archimedes, Pythagoras, Euclid and Eratosthenes who provided the modern world with a strong base to the knowledge we have today. They gave the modern world hydrostatics, the volume of a sphere and the calculation of pi which is used to design impressive sea vessels, industrial tanks and…
