Pythagorean theorem

In Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes introduces us to his philosophies by taking everything he thinks he knows, and destroying it. He decides to rebuild his knowledge of the absolute truth by tearing down all of his prior knowledge of the mind and soul, God, and the senses. Throughout this essay, I will discuss Descartes’s two arguments that prove God’s existence, and then I will analyze them. And finally, I will bring up a criticism from Kant, as well as…

Choosing to become a teacher was a difficult battle between my brain and my soul; creating a philosophy of education will be even harder. I have been privileged to be educated in a community that seeks more than Newton’s First Law, and the Pythagorean Theorem. The Paradise Valley Unified District (PVUSD) has taught me to care for my community, and always give back. Due to this prior education, I have decided through time my philosophy of education will always change. But for now, the most…

Grades- I previously attended Prairie View Middle School from 6th grade up until 8th grade. I think that Prairie View was a good school for me, For the most part I was able to get good grades (about 3.0 or higher) and make a lot of friends. Relationships with my teachers though where a whole other story. 6th grade was when I was able to achieve the best grades. The highest G.P.A. i’ve ever got was a 3.8, and I achieved that in 6th grade. I also got 3.0s and 3.5s that year too. I also…

The topic I want to connect with the book and also learned in class is race/ethnicity discrimination. Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Perez is set in the late 1930’s. This was the time period where racism was still very existent. There was segregation going on where colored people could not even go to certain places at certain times or not at all. In the book for example, Naomi one of the main characters who is “Mexican” goes to Turners General Store for some food. This store was particularly for…

guidance to the future graduates of our beloved Quincy High School, but there's little I can give that can be completely relatable to all. For example, I was raised by a single father, am a part-time cashier, and can barely figure out how the Pythagorean theorem will actually affect my adult life. This doesn't discourage me from making an attempt, and hopefully my sparkling personality will show. For advice, there's one thing I've figured that will help; find a coping skill that will…

they learn it and write it down? This cite also says that most of the time students are not taught anything that is truly useful. That many young adults do not know how to balance a check book or even write a check, in addition to knowing the Pythagorean Theorem an how to balance a chemical equation. All of this is being taught in high schools, although is a college level. The things students need most in life are being taught at the wrong…

Japanese schools, Japanese teachers are kind and nurturing and encourage students to think and function in a unified manner. For example, when an instructor is teaching algebra, he or she will ask students how to solve a problem such as the Pythagorean Theorem. Then, the students form a small group to think of solutions. After they spend some time, the group leader will ask each member for his or her input. Once the clique has come to a decision, the leader presents their group’s ideas to the…

All throughout ancient history we find influences of humanism. Whether it be in everyday life, thoughts, actions, words. As we look back in history to the Greeks, and those of the Renaissance and Enlightenment eras, we find that many individual thinkers and philosophers shone through their new ideas and thoughts. Many of these philosophical thinkers shaped our learning today. I believe that, during the greek times, philosophers were influenced by humanism. The philosophers of these days used…

While many would agree with the saying that nothing in life is guaranteed, I however believe that some things in life should be guaranteed. If one were to go through the grueling initiation process that is higher education, all while shelling out the thousands of dollars it costs to do so, one should expect more than a piece of paper that states “congratulations, you did it!” The goal of a college degree is to become a well-rounded educated person, be able to get a job in the field that you want…

Hipparchus was an original mathematical genius; his distinctive, discoveries were pertinent in early history of science and math. Greek astronomer Hipparchus discovered trigonometry which derives from the Greek words trigonon “triangle” and metron “to measure”. Even though there were signs that the Egyptians used different ratio signs there was never proof they thought in terms of angles. Hipparchus spent a lifetime observing astronomy, which led to most of his discoveries. In order to make the…
