Set theory

He believed that everything was predictable in old physics, the world in thermodynamics is full of change. Boltzmann established the relationship between entropy and the statistical analysis of molecular motion. He said other mathematicians never added chaos to the equation. Boltzmann captured mortality in an equation. It would drive him insane and he would suffer the same fate as Cantor trying to prove it. Boltzmann seemed to be obsessed with his theory, writing about it continuously. He was obsessing over proving the existence of atoms. These men may have been getting closer to something bigger. They had the intuition of something greater, but in math you cant’t calculate…

Originally I was unsure on which investigation to pick however after looking at each in detail the T-Shaped investigation seemed more logical to me. At the beginning, I took a very random approach in picking the different T-Shapes (10, 20, 39, 5) I could not draw much of a conclusion (see figure one.) After reevaluating, I decided to take a more systematic approach, going along number by number to work out the T total. I was unable to start at T1 because of the number grid, therefore the first…

This year I decided to challenge myself academically. I made the decision of taking four AP classes and math analysis so, to say the least it has been a difficult journey. In addition, out of all the classes I took I struggled the most with AP Chemistry. The material is pretty difficult to understand, even after spending a couple hours to review my notes some things would still be a little blurry. I was failing my test. I was failing my quizzes. I was failing at everything. It was a pretty…

defined identically to how Yoon-Soo defines the term ‘busy.’ The intensity of her regimen is not the only factor left out, but also the frequency. We will never know how often she washes her face or if she takes on extra steps to maintain her complexion throughout the day. Perhaps Yoon-Soo’s mother have frequent visits with dermatologist, or have done dermal procedures to enhance her skin to its full potential. It is possible that other contributing factors may play a role in maintaining her…

Set Point Theory, put simply, is the theory that your body changes the way in which it functions in order to maintain an amount of fat that it has established as normal. This is the basis of why genetics could be the cause of obesity in family lines and why there is so much controversy surrounding weight loss (Thompson). How the weight is maintained at a constant point is not fully known. Additional scientific testing may show that just maintaining a diet is not a good way to change your set…

Pure set theory deals exclusively with sets, so the only sets under consideration are those whose members are also sets. The theory of the hereditarily-finitesets, namely those finite sets whose elements are also finite sets, the elements of which are also finite, and so on, is formally equivalent to arithmetic. So, the essence of set theory is the study of infinite sets, and therefore it can be defined as the mathematical theory of the actual—as opposed to potential—infinite.”…

If evil and irrationality are truly parts of human nature, they would be evident in society. For both Golding and Conrad, civilization seemed full of mankind’s evil. Golding commented that Lord of the Flies was his “attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature” (Epstein 204). It is about the failure of civilization to overcome evil (Thapliyal and Kunwar 86). Civilization on the island seems to be in ruins, but the outside world is in much bigger shambles. The story…

She struggles to have kids because she’s married but in love with others’. She is in love with her brother, Geb, and Thoth, and she makes love to them. Ra gets very mad and upset and curses her from having children for any month of any year. This is hard for her and brings her sadness because she wants to be a mother, she asks Thoth “Is there anything you can do to help me? Surely, one of the children within me is yours!(Rosenberg 163)”. He tells her that he would find a way to help her through…

On activity 1.8 I helped my group members understand the handshake problem, which we first experimented with in a class activity. At first some of my group members wanted to just count the amount of people there were and multiply it by the amount of handshakes that each person would perform if they shook hands with every person. I realized the problem with using this method is that some handshakes would be performed twice, we wanted the amount of handshakes if each person shook hands with every…

Sarcophagus and Mummy of Taosir This wooden coffin, discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Ipu holds the mummified body of Taosir, the daughter of Nesmin and Taamun, priestess of Osiris in the city of Ipu around 600 BC. Its bright colors, the details of the decoration, and the good condition of its hieroglyphic text are excellent testimonies of Egyptian life in 600 BC. Falcon sarcophagus with Osiris mummy Within this sarcophagus, which was crafted in the image of the falcon god…
