Mathematical proof

ability to handle the complex experiments? For instance, Dennis Noble, a professor from Oxford University, uses computers to design a virtual heart which may take almost 30 hours to just finish several beats of heart because billions of divergent mathematical problems are being done at the same time while the computer has a limitation. Thus, computers are not enough for research. In reality, a lot of basic cell processes are similar in different kinds of animals. For instance, animals share the…

“A butter fly flaps its wings at the coast of Brazil we get a hurricane at the coast of Florida”. Chaos theory is mathematical theory that describe the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to very small starting forces then get huge response which is called the butterfly effect. CSI is investigating the case of Paige Rycoff, who has been missing for four days since she dropped out of college and was going home, but never arrived. The investigators started by analyzing where…

The knowledge claim “There is no such thing as neutral question” suggest that neutral questions do not exist. It also implies that questions within the various areas of knowledge direct us in a certain way, and have a certain agenda or purpose. This means that the questioner always has a notion of what information or knowledge he/ she wants to gain form the asking a particular question; therefore the questions anticipate a certain response or elicit a desired response. My knowledge question…

Primes – the building blocks of all numbers: The dictionary meaning of prime is ‘Of first importance’ or ‘Of the best quality, excellent’ etc. What is so great about prime numbers? A number is said to be a prime if it is divisible only by 1 and itself. 5, for example, is a prime number because it is divisible only by 1 and 5. The number 4 can be divided by 1, 4 AND 2. So it is not a prime number. Numbers that are not primes are said to be composite numbers. The fundamental theorem of Arithmetic…

notions of beliefs, tearing them down, and building a new infrastructure based on proven science. One of the biggest notions is that of human nature. What makes us truly us? Is it the way we are nurtured? That was a belief long, and still, used as proof of how we as humans become the people who we are today. However, today is the day of science. Science is finally going for the KO in this fight, proving that your genes determine who you really are, and not the way you were raised. This notion of…

STRATEGIES FOR THE ACT MATHEMATICS TEST: The ACT mathematics test is designed to assess the mathematical skills students have typically acquired in courses taken up to the beginning of grade 12. The test presents multiple- choice questions that require you to use reasoning skills to solve practical problems in mathematics. • PACE Yourself- The ACT mathematics test contains 60 questions to be completed in 60 minutes. You have an average of 1 minute per question. • If you use calculator, use it…

triangle, then the second is the sum of the areas of two triangles whose bases are the two smaller secant lines, and so on. This proof uses a variation of the series: $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{64} + \frac{1}{256} + ...$ which sums to $\frac{1}{3}$. Sadly, Archimedes’ life came to an end in 212 BC, for he was slain by a roman soldier who thought the mathematical instruments Archimedes was carrying were valuable. The roman general Marcus Claudius Marcellus was enraged by this…

Skepticism have always been there when technologies were newly developed along with new approaches to other methodologies. In Nicholas Carr’s article “Is Google Making Us Stupid”, Carr conveys this idea by the examples of Socrates and his resist of adopting alphabet and Squarciafico and his resist of the printing press (Carr, p.564). Nonetheless, are Carr’s skeptical attitude based on the truth? Moreover, in such development of the communication system, is it able to supersede the negative…

everyday people make financial decisions and solve problems. Science and math involve reasoning and language. Individual’s use reasoning through the two areas of knowledge by making observations and creating conclusions of the results and analyzing proofs. Language can interfere with…

INFINITY Infinity is without a doubt one of the hardest mathematical concepts to comprehend. Infinity is without doubt one of the hardest mathematical concepts to understand. Many ideas that works with normal numbers don’t work anymore, and instead there are countless paradoxes. Is there a largest number? Is there anything bigger than infinity? What is infinity plus one? What is infinity plus infinity? Today, we will be discussing 2 of infinity’s paradoxes: Hilbert’s Infinite Hotel, and…
