Pythagorean theorem

Pi The pertinence of the number pi has been indefatigable throughout the history of mathematics. Pi is a fairly simple concept to grasp, as it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of that circle. Pi is notorious to the masses for its aeonian nature; however, mathematicians classify this attribute as being both irrational and transcendental. Skeptics and misanthropes of Pi’s characteristics have claimed that it is a simple calculated number and there must be a…

in high schools today is irrelevant to students and their future. Students are being taught to remember pointless information that they will not benefit from in the long run. Why should students memorize each president in order or know the Pythagorean Theorem? How did coloring inside the lines or the Dewey Decimal system help people conquer the difficulties life throws at them? To be blunt, it doesn’t help. The education system is setting students up for failure in life. Students are not being…

opinion and preferences, moral, political, etc., ethical values of the people who move within this field of knowledge, have no power of influence since it is universally accepted scientific laws, and they have not changed over time, e.g. the Pythagorean Theorem or the Theory of Newtonian…

Ancient Greeks lives center on their gods, and their daily lives consist of trying to live as piously as possible. Piety is the core moral laws during this time. To live piously is to live in harmony with the gods. It is extremely important that they must please the gods, that to act any other ways, acting impiously, is illegal and will result in punishment. Socrates is one philosopher that lives during this time. Socrates would go about the city, questioning people about their beliefs and…

Philosophy is a theory or attitude held by a person or organization that acts as a guiding principle or behavior that acts as a guiding principle for behavior. I live by many philosophies; some examples are, your word is you 're bond, I am no better than any living thing always stay humble, and very few things are facts most things come down to perspective. My personal philosophy is “nothing ventured nothing gained” and this is my personal philosophy because if you don 't venture you won 't grow…

Alexander the Great's contributions to the world are numerous, including the creation of the Macedonian Empire and sparking Hellenistic civilization. But what if he died before he could become “the Great”? When Alexander was twenty two, he fought and defeated the King Darius III and the Persians at the Battle of the Granicus River in Anatolia. He charged into their ranks, and came very close to death after a blow to the head. His bodyguard arrived in just in time to kill the attacker and save…

For any evidence of a civilization ever existing there has to be some form of art or architecture left behind. Clues of a long forgotten government, economy, and social class for scientists to find. Remains of their math and science, religion and literature works left to vanish into thin air. The remnants of Mesopotamia reveal to us that their intellectual achievements were far greater than those of Egypt, in terms of their architecture, economy and government, knowledge in math and science,…

The claim that “without application in the world, the value of knowledge is greatly diminished” implies that some knowledge is more valuable than others. More specifically, shared knowledge is more respected than personal knowledge. In other words, if you don’t use or share what you know/learn in real life, the knowledge loses validity and worth. The areas of knowledge Mathematics and the Arts will be used in this essay to investigate this claim with respect to ways of knowing of Reason and…

Pythagoras of Samos was a Greek philosopher and mathematician born in or around 570BCE (Riedweg ix). He is most commonly known for his mathematical achievements. His theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, is used to describe the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. He is credited with uniting the study of numbers, lines, geometry, and celestial bodies from disparate nations (Dillon 158). It was also said…
