A model is an effort to modernize or remodel the connection supposed to occur between the items being investigated. Even though models are assorted we can arrange them according to the reason for which they exist, in this case, their purpose. It has been recognized that when communication occurs, messages often circulate from both the receiver and the source simultaneously. Although there are many models of communication, Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication is the most applicable…
Forget Shakespeare, I’m going to be an engineer. I consider myself a very math and science oriented person; I am not a social studies or English person. I have problems memorizing dates and remembering what Louis the 14th did during his reign. And I can't think of thesis statements off the top of my head, instead it takes me hours of rewriting and crossing things out. I do, however, know how to use data. I love learning about the world around us from the smallest cells in biology, to imploding…
today, is the discovery of oxygen. Priestley was born near Leeds on 13th March 1733 and spent much of his adult life as a teacher and preacher. As well as science, Priestley was extremely knowledgeable in many areas including theology, history, education, aesthetics and politics. One of the many books he wrote was called “History and Present State of Electricity” which he worked on with Benjamin Franklin (who discovered electricity in XXX). He was he was elected to Fellowship of the Royal…
Key Idea I The scientific method is a systematic approach used in scientific study, whether it is chemistry, biology, physics, or other sciences. Scientists uses this organized process to do research, it provides a way for scientist to compare the work of others. There are six steps in the scientific method, these steps are not used as a check list to be done in the same order each time. However, all scientist must describe there ways the most publish there results. Key Idea II A…
Pythagoras was the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician who lived in the sixth century B.C. In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem is known as a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. This theorem was named after him. For example, a right triangle is a triangle with a right angle; square corners adjacent sides also called square corners of the triangle beside it; hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle. In the figure below, a and b…
A German Jewish mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet…
Math has many significant aspects. However, it wasn’t until I was assigned this assignment, that I fully understood the wide variety mathematics encompasses. Math has a specific part called Geometry, it is this section that I am going to mainly focus on. Geometry consists of shapes. These many shapes can then be put together to form patterns. They are the Golden Ratio, Fractals, Spiral Growth, and Voronoi Patterns. The Golden Ratio consists of ratios which the two larger sums are equivalent to…
Archimedes Accomplishments Archimedes was born in Scilly in 287 BC, he is known for being one of the greatest Greek minds during the Classical Age due to his contributions to science. However, he was not just a scientist he was also a great mathematician with his mathematical formula that illustrates how to get the volume of a sphere, and he was an amazing inventor too as he had numerous of inventions that we still use today. Archimedes contributions to the topic of physics are endless but, one…
Math is all around, weather you notice it or not. Doctors use math on the daily to prescribe medicine that patients might need, check vitals, and see how hurt a patient may be. Math is very important and is needed in order for doctors to do their job. First off, doctors use math everyday to prescribe medicine to patients. In “ Medicine and math” Natasha Glydon states “Doctors need to figure out how many milligrams of medicine each patient will need, depending on their weight.” Doctors must use…
We are in an age of prime technological growth containing a myriad of divergent innovations. When I look at the world around me, all I see is science and engineering. Technology is the foundation for which we can grow and advance as a society, and I strive to be a part of that progress; I strive, for this reason, to be an engineer. I am plaid in this way, and therefore, there is something about Carnegie Mellon University that distinctively calls out to me. The amount of emphasis that is put on…
