    A zeppelin is a rigid airship; it is a type of airship that is supported with a metal framework, instead of being filled with a lifting gas, like a blimp. The term zeppelin is associated with German airships that were manufactured by the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin of Germany. Both the zeppelin and Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Company were founded by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Airships, blimps, and dirigibles are practically synonyms and are basic terms for any lighter than air craft that is powered and steerable. Each Zeppelin had a name, like the Graf Zeppelin or The Giant Hindenburg, these two were famous, because they were used during World War One and Two. The difference between a rigid airship and a blimp is that a rigid aircraft is maintained by a metal framework that holds the zeppelin together, that is why it is not considered a blimp. A blimp is an aircraft that is inflated with air and it doesn’t have a structural framework, unlike semi-rigid airships, a blimp uses lifting gas or helium to strengthen and maintain its shape. The invention of the zeppelin were used to aid the military, however they weren’t specifically dangerous, but more frightening. Airships posed no real danger, but that is until World War One. The Germans started using them for bombing raids and scouting missions. Now that this was recognized, airships, planes, and submarines became vital weapons of war. Even to this day, they are still being used, well, except for the airships, they are now used for…

    well known that analytic proofs are very strict in nature and to prove anything in analysis requires a careful consideration of the behaviour and characteristics of the proposition on hand. Before analysis became as well founded as it is today, there was no standard of rigor for analytic proofs. So, many mathematicians gave analytic proofs that were heavily based on spatial and geometric intuition. Bolzano believed that relying on spatial and geometric intuition was an improper way to prove a…

    (Huemer 47-57) René Descartes holds the opposite opinion, which he discusses in ‘Meditations One and Two.’ While there is validity to both sides of the argument, Huemer’s essay proves to be more reliable after dissecting Descartes’ concepts of existence. Huemer proposes that no one can know anything about the external world, or anything that exists outside of the mind. It is impossible to be certain of how many fingers one has, or if surrounding objects are real or solely a mental…

    Proof is incorporated in the VCE Mathematics Study Design 2016-2018 and VCE Mathematics textbooks. Proof is integrated in many areas of study such as arithmetic and number, geometry measurement and trigonometry, algebra and structure, and discrete mathematics (Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority [VCAA], 2016). This supports the idea that one of the central goals of school mathematics, notably at the upper secondary level, is the development of proof concepts (Coe & Ruthven, 1994).…

    Beauty is a difficult concept to describe. Many philosopher’s strive to attain some semblance of what beauty is but by doing so they often times contradict another philosopher’s idea on the matter. Examining two philosophers, or more, side-by-side can provide insight into why beauty is a hard concept to grasp, but it does not examine why the philosophers either agree or disagree with one another. Kant’s Critique of Judgement attempts to specify what makes something beautiful and in doing so…
