scientists and theologians, though, Galileo Galilei’s observations in Siderius Nuncius, meaning “The Starry Messenger” in latin, has contradicted these beliefs. Galileo Galilei, born February 15, 1564, a renowned physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician, invented an improved version of the optical telescope in 1610. Galileo was not the first to invent an optical telescope, an object used to…

Leonardo was educated by Verrocchio, a Florentine painter. He is often considered to be one of the greatest painters of all-time. Leonardo da Vinci has frequently been described as the model…

honeybees. Her parents were Beatrice and George Jackson. Her father encouraged her interest in science by assisting her with projects for her school. Her mother, would read her the biography of Benjamin Banneker, an African American scientist and mathematician who helped build Washington, D.C. In 1964, Dr.Shirley Ann graduated as valedictorian from her high school. She was accepted at M.I.T (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to to receive a Ph.D in theoretical solid states physics.…

The Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras (c. 580-c. 500 B.C.) is one of the few figures in ancient times, or indeed in any age, who warrants comparison to the extraordinary Imhotep. Although he is best known for his famous geometrical theorem, his accomplishments ranged far beyond mathematics and involved areas as diverse as music, politics, and religion. Like Imhotep, he was a figure larger than life. Some historians suggest that he never really lived; in fact it appears highly likely…

solid proofs for each of them. First, the professor claims that, in order to make the mirror of that size, they could have used a dozens of separated cooper plates and stick them to each other to make a coherent mirror, according to him the Greek mathematicians were able to precisely direct the small pieces of coopers in a way that could guide the sun's rays toward a specific object in far distances. However, the author in the reading passage argues that the required knowledge was not available…

history. After few time they stopped making this sculptures because they thought this was not very interested. They wanted to come up with something very interesting and they started investing their time into in. finally in 450 BC.one of the mathematician found the way human body works. Basically he tried to understand human anatomy. He proved that on one athletic person’s body. He passed theoretical rod…

Benjamin Banneker, the son of former slaves, former farmer, astronomer, and mathematician writes to Jefferson regrading to the worriment on slavery; in the excerpt, Banneker uses diction, allusion and appeals to Jefferson, adding more credibility to his concerns. Banneker integrates well educated and high diction in regards to his concerns on slavery. This is seen in lines 1, 15, 18, and 26. This shows Jefferson a display of respect, and dignity. Threw this, Jefferson is more likely to show his…

Newton’s three laws of motion essay Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and natural philosopher who lived in the 17th century. One of his accomplishments was coming up with three laws of motion that can be used to explain how and why stuff move. These laws that Newton came up with are still used today. Newton’s first law of motion states that “an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it”.…

was her tremendous determination and intelligence while receiving her education and advancing her career. Johnson pushed through the challenges that were in front of her and was able to receive a high education which lead to working at NASA as a Mathematician. While proving her knowledge throughout her lifetime, Johnson had plenty of courage that was needed to make it possible for her to rise above the beliefs of her white colleges. By doing this, Johnson began the trend at NASA to eliminate…
