chose Albert Einstein because of his impact on theoretical physics and influence in how people think about what’s possible, creativity and curiosity. He has made many theories that have come true, and some that haven't, but I also choose Albert Einstein because I have always been more interested in him than what I’ve been able to learn in school since he’s someone who has kept trying and working hard. He’s changed the way we think about physics and science. Many truly believe Albert Einstein was…

taking my second year of Level 3 BTEC engineering, and learning about electricity and electronics is part of the course. I also study mathematics and physics in my engineering course, and I know that Sound engineering involves some mathematics, so Calculus, Logic and trigonometry skill will be fundamental to knowledgeable practise. Also since I study physics, I can study acoustics in Sound engineering. So far with studying engineering, I could easily say that trigonometry and solving Algebraic…

tiny, and weak Newton was not expected to live. At the young age of 12 he demonstrated innate intellectual abilities. After completing basic education, Newton attended the University of Cambridge’s Trinity College where his prowess for mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other subjects began to come to light. Despite his great knowledge, Newton did not graduate with any honors or distinctions, this however was just the beginning of his very successful career. Today Newton is credited with many…

Growing up, I was never exposed to the stereotype that physics is a "man's field". There were as many girls as there were guys in my high school physics course and in my na\"ive high school days, it never occurred to me that a subject could be considered more suitable for men or women. I remember seeing a brochure for Cornell University's physics program when I was looking at schools for undergrad that boasted that 40\% of their program was female. At the time, I remember wondering why they…

I actively avoided were some of the harder science ones like Chemistry or Biology. I also did not go to the Health Science tables. This event made me very excited about the PPE Major. I went to the “What’s in a Major” events for Computer Science, Physics, and PPE. I did not go to Engineering because it was not yet on my radar. The Computer Science advisor was very nice and made me very excited about Computer Science. She especially liked pointing out the combined majors and the possibility of…

Isaac Newton was one of the most famous researchers. Many of his discoveries are still important and used today. Many people know about Newton’s discoveries and laws but not many know about his early life. (biography.com) Isaac Newton was born in the hamlet of woolsthorpe, lincolnshire england, on January 4th, 1643. He was born 3 months premature and his father died before he was born. When Isaac was 3 his mother remarried and left him with his grandmother. After his mother’s second husband…

Honor means great respect for what you have done especially big accomplishments. Honor is when someone respects you for your accomplishments. Scientist Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove New Zealand. A pioneer of nuclear physics and the first to split the atom in half he was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his theory of atomic structure. His father James had little education and struggled to support the large family of 14 but his mother Martha worked…

blonde, maybe someone became president rather than a physics professor. There are an infinite number of possibilities which causes the Multiverse Theory to also be a heavily controversial topic. However, it is also just a theory and there is no definitive proof quite yet. That being said, there are hundreds of ideas that could possibly prove the theory. The Multiverse Theory was first created in 1952 by a man named Erwin Schrodinger, the same physics theorist…

Petersburg Academy of Science in Russia and also worked in the Russian Navy from 1727 to 1730 as a medical lieutenant. At the Academy, Euler served as professor of physics in 1730. Three years later, he became a professor of mathematics. Euler wrote many articles during his lifetime. His book “Mechanica” earned him worldwide fame as a prominent mathematician. It depicted Newtonian dynamics in the form of mathematical…

Albert Einstein has made a historical impact on the world and in the fields of science and math. Even with a not so great childhood, he was able to persevere and accomplish many great things. In elementary school, his teacher had told him he was “too dumb” to be there. His mother told him he was “too smart” and decided to homeschool Albert. This is the beginning of his magnificent journey. From solving equations, to making a difference in schools, he has helped many people and will continue to…
