on the South Island of New Zealand on August 30, 1871. He was the fourth of 12 children, and the second son. His father, James, had little education and struggled to support the large family on a flax-miller’s income. Ernest’s mother, Martha, worked as a schoolteacher. She believed that knowledge was power, and placed a strong emphasis on her children’s education. At age of ten at Foxhill School Ernest Rutherford received his first science book. One of project was had many suggested experiments…

The Nothing That Is, by Robert Kaplan is an intriguing book that focuses on the history of civilizations and their ways of counting. It focuses on the struggles and revolutionary discoveries of different civilizations in their number systems. The book is pushed forward by focusing on the concept of the number “0” which had not been a thing or even a thought then. Zero has been in the making for thousands of years. It wasn’t introduced into any of the civilizations sets of counting until more…

Answers: 1. Segment A (Position-Time on Ramp): The graph is a curve. On any graph that curves, the slope or steepness of the graph changes from one point on the graph to another. Since the slope is constantly changing, the velocity is non-constant. Also, as the graph lies above the x-axis and its slope is increasing, the velocity of the object is also increasing (speeding up) in a positive left direction. Segment B (Position-Time on Flat Surface): The graph is a straight line, which represents…

Patrick Luongo Mr. Maloney Art 11 November 2017 7 Elements of Art The 7 elements of art are Line, Shape, Form, Space, Value, Color, and Texture. Line- Lines are very important in art. They can be used in many ways, such as outlining things, make hashes with them and even shade things with them. An example of lines is when I was drawing my Van Gogh drawing, and I needed to use lines to make the hashes. There are many types of lines. Lines can be straight, curvy, thick, thin, they can dark…

Horror At Michigan State University A year ago most Americans would not have had any idea who Dr. Larry Nassar was and what he did but today he is the most despised man in America. He was a well respected doctor at Michigan State University who for many years sexually assaulting young women in his role as the lead doctor for United States Gymnastics. Many since they were little girls. More than 265 women were sexually assaulted by Nassar and about half of them testified at his sentencing. Which…

Do you ever wonder why the planets stay in orbit? Or do you ever wonder how calculus came to be? Well, you can thank Isaac Newton for these things. He was a scientist and mathematician and was a big help in the 17th century. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, England, United Kingdom, and died on March 1, 1727 in London, England, United kingdom at the age of 85. Isaac Newton studied for a degree in law. For college he enrolled in King’s school in Grantham, which is a…

of the essential components that each and every individual uses it directly or indirectly in their life.” I conducted a survey within my calculus class and with all my friends to find answer to the question “Is math fun? Why Should Anyone Study Mathematics?” Most of my friends and classmates answered “I hate math”. In order to find the answer why people hate math.…

James was born on November, 1638 in Drumoak, UK. James was the son of an Anglican Priest(Malet). His mother gave him an early education.

After finishing college, he went to London, UK where he wrote, “ The Advance of Optics”.period always goes inside of quotation marks…

Lemma: If p > 3 is prime, then either p = 1 (mod 6) or p = 5 (mod 6). Proof: The residue classes modulo 6 partition Z, so any z in Z satisfies a congruence z = n (mod 6) where n is in {0,1,...,5}. z is divisible by 6 if n = 0, 2 if n = 2, 3 if n = 3, and 2 if n = 4. These cases cover the primes z = 2 and z = 3; if z > 3 is prime, it follows that n = 1 or n = 5, i.e., z = 1 (mod 6) or z = 5 (mod 6). Now suppose there are only finitely many primes congruent to 5 modulo 6, say p_1, ...,…
