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…

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…

Have you ever wondered what sparked the study of magnetism and changed the Ptolemaic model of the solar system with the Earth at its core? The Ptolemaic model was the dominant model of the solar system made up of the systems created by Aristotle and Ptolemy. From Ancient Greece in 4th Century B.C up until the late 16th century/early 17th century that model was used to show that every planet moves in a system of two spheres. These spheres were called deferent and epicycle, which both rotated…

Countless numbers of inventions are created by accident and on purpose. Such as sticky notes, potato chips, and the microwave oven. Unfortunately, many inventions were failures. These inventions were the wooden bathing suits, the snowstorm masks, and hairline brushes for bald men. Some of these inventions went up in fame and some went down without a mark. Many of inventions have blew up in fame by accident so many times. These are the accidental genius inventions. Fascinating inventions can be…

The Planets is the most successful and arguably the best recognized composition of Gustav Holst. Although Gustav composed some outstanding works after The Planets, none of them achieved recognition of the same level as The Planets. The Planets was composed while Holst was working as a music master. Holst had done some works before The Planets, which he considered as failures and such failures made him desperately think of a genre topic that could be phenomenal for his ideas of composition of…

As far as people who are well versed in just about every aspect of life, Johannes Kepler was one of the great few. Unlike many of the great thinkers of his era, kepler was known to be doubtful about writing his laws, he never even turn in his work so people can see his significant ideas. Back then there weren’t places to submit your work in order to get credit for them. Johannes kepler was known to be a German mathematician and astronomer, which from that he was able to discover that planets…

Johann Joachim Becher Johann Joachim Becher was a very successful man with a very determined mindset. His goal was to completely redefine nature itself. With the support of various scientists and publicity for his scientific research, Becher was able to formulate his theory of combustion, known as the Phlogiston theory, and was able morph gold out of the mud of the Danube. He was a physician, scholar, adventurer, alchemist, and precursor of chemistry. Becher was an author of two books, the…

William Herschel was a British scientist and astronomer who lived and studied during the late 18th century. He had a particular fascination with space and everything it contained, and he made it his goal to understand “the construction of the heavens”. The search for new astronomical objects during Herschel’s time was huge, and at one point during his studies, he began to become very intrigued by the discovery of nebulae. This interest of Herschel was partly due to the studies of another fellow…

Joshua L. Gibson Miss. Metzger English 10cp 17 February 2017 HULC robotic exoskeleton I am going to be talking about the HULC robotic exoskeleton system, and how it is related to the book fahrenheit 451 and how they could have the same technology in them. I am talking about these two thing because of the robotic dog in the book and real life today about the HULC robot. The Hulc robotic exoskeleton is an exoskeleton that is supposed to help the oxygen usage to be less with the HULC robotic…
