An anesthesiologist is a specialized doctor, either M.D (doctor of medicine) or D.O (doctor of osteopathic medicine), who gives anesthesia or sedating medicine to patients for medical procedures. Before any of the medical procedures start, you make an interveiw with your patient by looking at their medical history, allergies, finding out their preferences, etc. You must be with your patient before the surgery, after the surgery, and help them in the process of recovering. There is a major…

Fractions Fractions are difficult to learn and to teach, however they form an important part of primary education mathematics. Fractions both underpin the development of proportional reasoning, including the understanding of algebra and probability. Much of the confusion of teaching and learning fractions appear to be from the many different coding conventions (6/5, 1 1/4, 1.25, 125%), different representations (models) and interpretations (constructs) (Clarke, Roche & Mitchell, 2008). The…

High school has been a rollercoaster for me, for I have seen highs and lows. The ride may be almost over, but the memories will be sure to last for a much longer time. From the friends I have made to the teachers I have had, My likes and dislikes to the influence of others on me. When it is all said and done, I am going to miss the setting, despite all the times I have claimed to hate it. The following essay will layout my high school experiences and life experiences during high school, along…

Perhaps the most directly personal outcome of learning mathematics is the development of one’s mathematical confidence (Ernest 22). This includes being confident in one’s personal knowledge in mathematics, in applying previously learned mathematical knowledge in various situations and contexts, and acquisition of additional knowledge and skills when needed. Mathematical confidence translates to success in dealing with math problems and mathematics in general, thereby decreasing one’s negative…

Leonhard Euler Leonhard Euler was one of the most important and influential mathematicians in history, as well as one of the most underappreciated. He made contributions to virtually every area of mathematics. It is sometimes jokingly stated that he was so prolific, that many discoveries were named for the first person after Euler to discover them (Richeson, 2008). The base of the natural logarithm, e, is named after Euler, as well as the Euler-Mascheroni constant, also called Euler’s constant.…

Nicolaus Copernicus was one of the most innovative astronomers during renaissance, he is best known as “The founder” of modern astronomy. He became famous thanks to his studies on the sky and the revolutionary motion of the earth finding out that the theory of geocentrism, at that time the one believed truth by people, was wrong. Instead of it he proposed the theory of heliocentrism which, in contrast to the geocentric one, proposes the sun at the center of universe instead of the earth. After…

To what Extent did Leonardo da Vinci Contribute to Math, Art, and Science? The Renaissance was a rebirth of Greek and Roman ideas, that took place in the late fourteenth through early seventeenth century. The rebirth of human reason began in Italy and particularly in Florence. Italy had been rapidly moving away from the medieval era. The Renaissance movement had begun on a scholarly level, with humanists writers, but was clearly linked with the scientific developments, change, and growth of…

Extraordinary Careers in Extraordinary Times-- The Volcanologist Volcanologists are scientists who partake in the study and analysis of volcanoes, in order to help us be more aware of their threat and to gain more information about them. They do this by collecting samples from volcanoes, using chemical dating technology, and observing data about the volcano. However, in a couple years, due to the rapid growth and development of artificial intelligence, this occupation may be changed in…

with all the science and math classes available in high school and also have a reputable background in english and social studies. Some of the high school classes that will help a veterinarian hopeful to excel in college are algebra, geometry, trigonometry, biology, chemistry, health science technology, physical science, physics, english, sociology, social studies, and any college preparatory classes (“Veterinarian”). Although it is not required, many students receive a bachelor 's degree before…

Mrs. Woodward has a lot of papers to give out to this class, so while the previous class works on their homework, she sorts the papers into piles for each students. She places the papers on each students desk as they walk in for class. She says she tries to always have their papers ready because handing them out wastes ten minutes of class time. This class took their benchmarks on Friday and apparently they did not do very well. She believes that it was a combination of not enough time mixed…
