Mathematician

Mathematics is the motor which drives the sciences and is essential to many other subjects. The sciences approach the truth but it is only through the purity of mathematics that we can arrive at complete truth. I am particularly interested in contributing to this research and furthering my understanding of the complex field of mathematics. My inspiration is Alan Turing. I am currently reading the cleverly named 'Alan Turing the Enigma' by Andrew Hodges and marvel at his contributions to the…

what k= our mathematicians have done the following steps. To solve this problem first they found the multiplicative inverse of -⅚ which is -6/5. next they changed 12 into a fraction which is 12/1 then finally they along with cross cancel. Finally they found the answer which is k=-72/5!!!!! As well as another problem has showed up in Mathtopia! The problem is -243=-9(10+x). The citizens have been wanting to find out what x =. However it is stuck in a box with 10!!! So our mathematicians have…

David Blackwell David Harold Blackwell was an African American mathematician and statistician. He contributed too many fields, including dynamic programming, game theory, measure theory, probability theory, information theory, and mathematical statistics. Furthermore, he had a great talent for making things appear simple, regardless of how complicated it appeared. Blackwell became one of greatest African-American mathematicians. David Harold Blackwell was born April 24, 1919, in Centralia,…

Nicolaus Copernicus was a mathematician, he was the first to come up with a theory of the planets that had the sun at the center. He thought that his heliocentric sun centered conception of the universe offered a more accurate explanation than did the Ptolemaic system. In his system the sun, not earth was at the center of the universe. According to Copernicus, the apparent movement of the sun around earth was caused by the rotation of earth on its axis and its journey around the sun. Isaac…

was an amazing educator for African Americans during this time. There are many interesting things about Miller. In other words, he was a pretty radical person. Such a person deserves the respect he receives. Kelly Miller was an African American Mathematician that was born in Winnsboro, South Carolina in July of 1863. He was the 6th child to be born out of his 10 siblings in his family, which was pretty interesting. First, in his teaching career, he started off at M Street High School in…

He was a As an adult, he appended Von to his He was a so called child prodigy and became one of the world’s foremost mathematicians by his mid-twenties. John had a gift for math that took on the paths that influenced quantum theory, automata theory, economics, and defense planning. He pioneered game theory and…

The ancient Greeks have shaped the modern world and established the building blocks for Western Civilization. Due to the conquest of Alexander the Great and the later adoption of certain cultural attributes into Roman life, Classical Greek architecture and philosophy still permeates within the modern world. Even the three orders of ancient Greek column design (Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian) can be seen on government buildings and private residences throughout the United States and the nations…

ability of the astronauts to reach the moon, rejecting to mention all of the work that had been done previously by numerous other people. Many engineers, mathematicians, and collaborators combined their resources to carry such an iconic project through.…

Democracy is form of government wherein the people govern the society through personally elected officials. The idea of this form of government was initially created in Greece along with many other, new variations of government. It was put into act, and eligible voters would all be given the chance to select the candidates and winners of the elections. This however, didn’t include everyone, for like today, many minorities remained unrepresented and would remain so for years. Back then, there…

Why is it important to Learn about ancient Greece? A quote by writer Vadim Kotelnikov once said, “If you stop learning, you stop creating history and become history.” Ancient Greece is a huge part of history. The legacies they left behind have helped us develop into the society that we are today- advanced, modern and knowledgeable. We no longer rely on myths, gods or goddesses to blame or thank for our everyday lives. On the other hand, they certainly left incredible and valuable knowledge that…
