Physics Of Prime Numbers

It is my intention, in the course of this essay, to take the work of David Hume and reapply it to causality using quantum mechanical theory.

The history of the atomic theory is thoroughly extensive. It had all started around 400 BCE when few people believed in an atomic theory, that atoms are building blocks. Democratic believed matter was made up of tiny particles. He called them atomos. Democratic is Leucippus’ most infamous pupil Later in history, the law of definite proportions was discovered. Two samples of given compounds are made of the same elements in exactly same proportions by mass regardless of the size or sources of the samples. After this came the law of conservation of mass and law of multiple proportions. Around 1808, John Dalton came up with a different atomic theory. He used Greek concept of the atom and all of the laws previously mentioned to acquire his

Modular Arithmetic has a connection to the history of the clock. From research, we came

Hungry for knowledge and new formulas, I desire to become a renowned mathematician. When I get home from school, bored and deprived of mathematical challenges, I explore the vast secrets of the internet. Likewise, I watch videos on cool shapes and patterns constantly affecting our everyday lives. Despite this, my uninteresting life brings me back to school where I sit still in desks for hours learning about super PAC’s and oxidation reduction reactions. As most high school attendees would say, almost every single class they take is useless for what they want to chase after in college and the business world. For over seventeen years, spread abroad, seven mathematical problems shake and stymie even the best of minds. Clay Mathematics called these

Once again, numbers have surprised me with their surprisingly complex simplicity. In this passage of Taming the Infinite: The story of mathematics from numbers to chaos theory, the author writes about a vast array of topics, including number theory, prime numbers, calculus, many mathematicians, among many others.

Sophie Germain studied psychology and philosophy. Sophie’s works were in a few areas: she studied the number theory, Sophie prime numbers, and the theory of elasticity. She would study other areas to gain more knowledge of these subjects. She did not have one study; she did multiple studies to prove theories and work of others.

Philosophers love to argue points or defend points that seem either brutally obvious to lay people or so obscure as to wonder about the mental health of the philosopher. For some philosophers, nitpicking and countering previously accepted arguments about causes of actions is along the way totally confusing a college student desperately trying to grasp the mysterious ideas a way of life. For example, Wayne Davis references a way to disprove the "causal theory" (it holds that "actions done for a reason are explained by the agent's beliefs and desires") (Davis, 2005, p. 58). Mary, for example, turned on the light switch not because she had any particular belief that there was too much light but because she believed there was not enough light. The argument ensuing from that position (based on Donald Davidson's theory) is: even if "…beliefs and desires cause actions that are done for reasons, the contents of those beliefs and desires are irrelevant" to the fact that Mary produced the action at the light switch (Davis, 58). Hence, Davis has proved that since the reasons why Mary acted are irrelevant, from that perspective the causal theory can thus be undermined (58).

Ramanujan, because of his lack of ‘formal’ education, could look at the world in a new way and develop unthinkable equations and theories, most of them having been proven correct by researchers around the world. Ono connected deeply with Ramanujan, both sharing a hate for education in their younger years. Yet, while Ono admits that he does not share the genius of Ramanujan, he saw through him that a man who did not even graduate college could achieve greatness in the field of mathematics. Using Ramanujan’s notebooks filled with seemingly meaningless notes and formulas, Ono and his collaborators found a way to find as many functions as he wants as long as their values are algebraic. This discovery made him a world-renowned expert in number theory and mathematics, and especially Ramanujan’s life and works. Ono, in his appreciation to Ramanujan, leads the Spirit of Ramanujan Math Talent Initiative, where he strives to find undiscovered math geniuses like Ramanujan and help them grow in hopes of nurturing someone with as much talent as him in order to help advance the field of mathematics. He also continues to study Ramanujan’s math theories, hoping to one day to understand why Ramanujan saw the importance in his theories and utilize them to solve one of many mysterious laws of the mathematical and theoretical

Through Heisenberg, Frayn points to the idea that we can never truly know a person and the things that the person has done at a given time and perhaps that we cannot know anything about the past or future. And through Bohr, Frayn puts forward that we can only act and thereby live or think about acting and thereby die. Moreover, we never truly know what happened during the conversation between the two. However, Frayn ends with an optimistic note suggesting that each moment in the present is “precious” in part because of its uncertainty, of its well-defined place and poorly-defined meaning. Through the historical conversation between Bohr and Heisenberg, Frayn expresses the philosophy suggesting a degree of uncertainty that bleeds into every aspect of our relationships and

John von neumann worked as a research professor of mathematics at the institute for advanced study, Princeton, New Jersey, and served on the atomic energy commission from 1954 to

Abstract: This article discusses Ancient Egyptian Mathematics and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone which opened a door to the treasures of Ancient Egyptian. Egyptians had a great amount of knowledge in mathematics whether it was in arithmetic, fractions, algebra, geometry or even measurement. It still remains a mystery of how they reached their mathematical conclusions but there exist records which contain collections of mathematical exercises. We shall study the Egyptian number system and its symbols. We will also take a closer look at their different computation methods regarding multiplying and dividing.

Similar to Heraclitus, Aristotle finds that everything is in a constant state of flux. For Aristotle flux, or movement, is dependent on something acting on the thing that is being moved, the mover. Thus, in Aristotle’s Physics we are first introduced to the topic of the unmoved mover: that which moves without being moved, also formally known as the Prime mover. Historically this theory has resulted in a monotheistic concept that has been advanced not only by Aristotle, but also thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas. As a primarily cause or mover of all the motion in the universe, the primary mover is a complex that is surrounded by much controversy. This paper analyzes the first mover from a Buddhist point of view. I will first present Aristotle’s claims and then attempt to disprove them from a holistically dependent Buddhist complex. I will then present the Buddhist complex to assert that identifying the first mover or the causation of the first mover is objectively difficult. Aristotle’s Physics, is broken into two main focuses. The first four books raise inquiry onto nature. In contrast books five to eight emphases the treatment of motion. For the sake of this paper we shall focus on the latter.

Quantum theory began to take shape in the early 20th century, when classical ideas failed to explain some observations. Previous theories allowed atoms to vibrate at any frequency, leading to incorrect predictions that they could radiate infinite amounts of energy; a problem known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. Max Planck in 1900 solved this problem by assuming the vibrations of atoms at specific or

Mathematics has contributed to the alteration of technology over many years. The most noticeable mathematical technology is the evolution of the abacus to the many variations of the calculator. Some people argue that the changes in technology have been for the better while others argue they have been for the worse. While this paper does not address specifically technology, this paper rather addresses influential persons in philosophy to the field of mathematics. In order to understand the impact of mathematics, this paper will delve into the three philosophers of the past who have contributed to this academic. In this paper, I will cover the views of three philosophers of mathematics encompassing their

Once upon a time, Luca Pacioli wrote a math book. It was just a little survey and should have been treated like ordinary books of the time and read and then disappeared into historical archives and forgotten. A few brief chapters on practical mathematics made this one special.
