Theorem

Famous philosopher Thales once said, “The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.”, meaning it takes a while to fully understand one’s self and the strengths or weaknesses within (“Thales”). Thales is an ancient Greek philosopher born in the city of Miletus (“Thales of Miletus” Science). Although, he was a Milesian, his parents, Examyes and Cleobuline, were Phoenicians themselves (“Thales of Miletus” Science). Very little was known about Thales, such as his exact birth and death…

isosceles right triangle with side lengths of integers a, b, and c. The ratio of the hypotenuse to a leg is represented by $c:b$. \item Assume a, b, and c are in the smallest possible terms (i.e. they have no common factors). \item By the Pythagorean theorem: $c^2 = a^2+b^2 = b^2+b^2…

One of my favorite ways to use technology to engage students is through videos and songs to help them grasp difficult or unfamiliar concepts; this could be a rap about the Pythagorean theorem or a short film on life in Nazi Germany during World War II. Providing students with visual and auditory input in addition to traditional learning styles allows children of multiple intelligences to find aspects of the lesson they connect with and…

Changing Our School Gold Beach High School has some good to it being in a small town, but because it’s in a small town it also has some issues that could be changed to make a huge difference. If I could change three things about GBHS and how things were run the first thing would be adding more classes for students to take. Doing this would help add classes that are more relevant to students and they could learn what they wanted to. The next thing I would change is how long the school day was and…

This September, I started my MSc at UBC SPPH with a goal of becoming a researcher on clinical trials. During the past semester, I discovered I love it more than I could imagine. I enjoy everything that I am doing, especially my research which I can work until 3 am in the morning without feeling tired or exhausted. I count myself as a fortunate person as I have found what I love, unlike many other people who spend their entire life looking for what they like. However, as a person who wants to…

Pythagoras Born: about 569 BC in Samos, Ionia Died: about 475 BC He is named the first mathematician. Pythagoras was born near the Ionian coast of the Mediterranean, in the rich merchant family. After living in Egypt for 22 years and in Babylon for 12 years, he gained deep knowledge in natural and mathematical sciences. He gathered around a group of like-minded people, mostly aristocrats, and created a secret circle. The members of the circle studied various issues of philosophy and mathematics.…

I'm not exactly sure how to solve this question I might have forgot how to do it but I'm going to guess that based off the picture & what I know about circles I can say that all circles if this makes sense are always similar to each other & that's always no matter what the radius might be ' The steps are as follows... * Obviously draw a triangle * Insert angle bisector for each angle of the tri. Insert the lines & make sure that your long to the point where you can see the point of…

The second source is a book which introduced the basic concepts and applications of this methodology. The authors concentrated on the causal discovery of networks and the techniques of using Bayesian networks. Furthermore, they discussed the utilisation of this methodology for causal modelling. This source is important at the initial stage of the project as it contributes to the decision-making process at the modelling technique selection stage. However, it is not as important as the other two…
