Pure mathematics

Students have often pushed away from STEM due to the stigma surrounding it or an inability to access technology. These factors contribute to the shortage of technical professionals that our nation faces meaning lost opportunities for the students that might like STEM and the employer. If the students can be exposed to STEM through lessons and purely having access to it , more students may have an interest. Working to solve this problem means a lot to me because without a few key people and…

later served as its president for 24 years until he died.When Newton began to ponder on the problem of the motion of the planets and what kept them in their orbits around the sun, he realized that the mathematics of the day weren't sufficient to the task. So he invented a new branch of mathematics, which he called the fluxions or now known as calculus. Calculus allowed him to draw tangents to match curves, find the lengths of curves, and solve problems that geometry could not solve. Newton’s…

Sir Isaac Newton was a scholar, a mathematician, a scientist, and a professor. He created the 3 laws of physics and came up with one of the most famous gravity equations in history and more. This paper will explore his life, his achievements, and his studies, throughout his long lifetime. Sir Isaac Newton was born December 25th, 1642 in Woolsthorpe Lincolnshire, England. Two months before Isaac’s birth his father passed away. At 3 years of age his mother remarried and moved away leaving Isaac…

Recording Engineer Most people think that going into careers in music isn’t wise, due to the fact that they think only a few careers are available. They also are under the impression that the jobs either require you to be performing, managing or producing and that they don’t pay well. But what they don’t know is that there is actually a wide variety of Jobs available in the music industry. Jobs that, not only, are suited to all strengths but also pay well and are very capable of supporting you…

Many other nations around the world are closing the gap between themselves and the United States in science, engineering, technology, and mathematic (STEM) fields. The proponents of STEM argue that this predicament is caused by Americas lack of STEM graduates. In 2005 three major reports were published in a five months time span: Innovative America, Tapping Americas Potential, and Rising Above the Gathering Storm. These reports argue that the academic achievement gap between races…

Ames Room Just imagine looking through a peephole and seeing two contradictory images; one is gigantic and the other tiny. But how can that be if it’s the same room? The answer to this question is the Ames room. The Ames room is a deformed room used to create an optical illusion of relative sizes; the size of the person depended on where the person was standing. To understand the Ames room, people need to know the history behind it, how it works, and the psychology involved. To start things…

that the acceleration of an object is dependent on two variables. The third laws states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s discovery of calculus led to way more discoveries of solving mathematical problems. In mathematics Newton was the original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Newton's Philosophiae was one of the most important single works in the history of modern science. Calculus is a form of algebraic expression. Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried…

Throughout time, mathematics has always had an influence on society and its ideals. However, the presence of mathematical application is especially present in Plato's The Republic, and especially its effect on mathematical education. Plato's ideas on mathematics education can give reason as to why math influences many other subjects and can encourage critical and abstract thinking in young students. This includes giving students the ability to think abstractly, apply math to all other subjects…

In my view, the role of the education must be consider to understand the aspects in which the educational system prepares you for life or if not. To star with, the role of the Argentine educational system is based on the individuals’ integration into society. “The education is not just a role for the individual but for a social role”. (Minister of Education Daniel Filmus) According to this quotation, the time one leaves secondary school, we must learn about how we can fit into the larger…

In the modern era, analysis is a very well established and developed field of mathematics. It is 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.…
