Shabazz's Accomplishments

Before WORLD WAR I, military service represented a source of black pride. Black educators, clergymen, and the press frequently referred to Negro heroes of America’s past wars. After the Civil War, the U.S, Army maintained four regular Negro regiments –the 9th and 10th Calvary and the 24th and 25th Infantry. These units included veterans of the civil war and the frontier Indian fighting regiments. Retired sergeants often became respected, conservative leaders in their communities. This history set a foundation for black support and involvement in America’s future wars.

For my Art in History Math project, I researched math in the Middle East. The Middle East has a great history of innovation and discovery relating to math. Buildings decorated with complicated geometrical patterns are common. Many such decorations and designs are found at holy sites and in temples. What's more, these geometric designs demonstrate their understanding of math in addition to having religious meaning. Ancient people in the Middle East discovered how to draw three dimensional shapes on a two dimensional surface. Some Middle Eastern religions teach that everything is made from a creator’s thoughts. Furthermore, such art includes purposeful errors in support of the belief that no one but God is perfect. It is also a tradition that

We live in an extremely busy and dynamic world where its aspects are always changing. When looking at the things going on around you, it is unfathomable to think that everything has its own way of working and being. Many question what it is that allows the numerous parts of the world to work together so harmoniously. The answer to this question for most people is religion, such as Christianity. However, for the philosopher Pythagoras, this is not the case. To him the answers to anything in the world could be discovered using mathematics. When looking at Pythagoras and the recently released movie, Hidden Figures written by Allison Schroeder and Ted Melfi, it is evident that with the right formula mathematics can be used to solve anything.

“Don't count the days, make the day’s count” was expressed by Muhammad Ali. This quote indisputably explains that, you should make the best of your days and not let them go by. Muhammad Ali is widely regarded as one the most significant and celebrated sports figures of the twentieth century. Muhammad Ali is a fascinating person because he stood up for what he believed in, known worldwide, and achieved a lifetime of accomplishments.

“My soul was dying for the truth, but I didn’t know where to get it.”-Malik Shabazz. Malik grew up blinded by violence and drugs in his neighborhood, until his rude awakening when reality smacked him in the face. As a young addict, gang member to a priest. A priest who now works hard to better Detroit’s community, and Leader of Detroit’s New Black Panther/New Marcus Garvey movement.

Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. was born December 18, 1912 in Washington D.C. His father, Benjamin O. Davis, Sr. was one of the few African-American officers in the U.S. Army. Davis, Jr. was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy in 1932 by Rep. Oscar S. De Priest, the only black congressman at that time. At West Point he endured ostracism from both classmates and superiors who wanted to see him fail. He persevered and graduated 35th in a class of 276 in 1936. He was the fourth African-American graduate in the Academy’s history. Upon commissioning he and his father became the only two black officers in the army. His application to the Army Air Corps was refused because the Air Corps did not accept African-Americans.

Billard’s career in the Coast Guard began at the Revenue Cutter School of Instruction in 1894. There were 12 cadets, all carefully selected to undergo the two-year officer training school aboard the

Others argue that Literature is one of the most useful Muslim Innovations because it changed how we write and communicate to this day. According to the Muslim Achievements article “Literature, especially poetry, was popular in the muslim world.” While that may be true, Mathmatics Mathematics wasn’t created by Muslims, but there was advancement of mathmatics by the Muslims. According to the Muslim Achievements article “Al-Khwarizmi made outstanding advancements in algebra.” Algebra is a type of mathematics in which letters such as “H” are used as hidden numbers, which gives people the ability to solve complex math problems, such as 2n + -49 x 78m =. Students and adults still use algebra, students take it as a course in math and adults use it in their everyday life.

My grandfather is known as one of the “Dirty Dozen”. The Duty Dozen where twelve fourth-year cadets that were charged (basically court martial) for a practical that was not taken lightly by the College and military management. The practical joke was that they ‘stole’ a fighter jet from the local air force training based, towed it to the College parade square and painted pink the night before a very large parade ceremony. To say the least the Dirty Dozen had both created their legacy and were in deep

Science and math allows for a new world of possibility. Intertwine the two, and we can see the world through a new, logical lens. For example, through DNA analysis and extensive research, science reveals the ancestors of mankind and provides solid evidence that all homo sapiens are related— a task once thought impossible. Apply the Transitive Law of mathematics and the result is: “If all organisms in the species are the same, and the group of organisms belonging to Homo sapiens are a species, then all Homo sapiens should be the same.” However, this isn’t the case. War and discrimination still plagues populations worldwide, and it becomes gradually harder to accept those of particular religions as the growing threat of terrorism arises. The

Without the foundation that al-Khwarizmi laid out for all mathematicians to come, there would not be the mathematical field we know today. In every aspect of calculus, geometry and other forms of mathematics, the methods of reduction, completion and balancing come into play. The combinations that those three methods have created can be attributed to the many discoveries we have today. Just some examples are the creation of the World Wide Web, in other words, the internet. Without the algebraic foundation the strings of Booleans, cannot be translated to create the internet as we know it. Without the very intricate mathematics we know today, man would have never made it into space. This one, seemingly insignificant

It made me reflect that every principle is divine and that math is actually the base of every principle of creation. The author of this remarkable book, in fact, helped me to open my spiritual eyes and I learned much:

beliefs and did he really achieve what he set out to do in the quote

174) says, “Mathematics became essential for a wide variety of commercial, legal, and governmental purposes. One of the great discoveries in mathematics is “the creations of ‘0’ a number that had never existed before instead “0” meant absence of numbers.” (Lecture notes, January 10). The Islamic scholars’ contribution to natural philosophy is unique because It is said by (Lindberg, p. 165) that “this is the story of transmission of learning.”

Mathematics is beautiful. It is the basis for any science courses, and math concepts have a deep relationship with human life. Mathematics concepts have various applications, which brings a lot of convenience to the whole society. The power of mathematics shows the greatness of God’s power, and reflects the greatness of God’ creation. In mathematics field, there are lots of theorems and axioms. All of them contributes a lot in solving mathematics problems. With these mathematics theorems, we are able to see the patterns behind a case, and it enriches our knowledge of thinking.
