    As Voltaire once said “ No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking” and with the help of Google, I am pretty positive I have at least a little understanding of what this quote’s purpose is. As we live our lives, we are faced with obstacles to overcome to accomplish certain  goals we are after. When these obstacles or problems arise we have to stop and think about  how to solve the issue to be able to move past the issue, and continue to work towards our goals. Although big problems may

    step three. Step Five: Add the two identities together. c2=(a-b)2+4ab/2 c2=(a+b)2-4ab/2 2c2=2a2+2b2 c2=a2+b2 Overall there are hundreds of ways to prove the Pythagorean Theorem. As stated before these proofs range from effortless geometric and algebraic proofs to intricate and complex trigonometric and calculus proofs. The proofs shown above are predominantly straightforward and easy to understand and do. Once again, these proofs are only a small portion of other proofs out there in the world.

    multi-purpose tool for varied engineering disciplines. Finite element analysis Most of the problems in engineering are governed by differential or integral equations. An exact solution can be studied by solving these equations. However, complexities in geometry, material properties and in the boundary conditions that are seen in the most real world problems usually mean that an exact solution cannot be obtained in a reasonable amount of time. Current product design cycle time shows that the design solution

    Hypersonic flight should be investigated in details to allow designing space craft according to the severe environment of their flight conditions. Typically when a reentry vehicle descents through the atmosphere, when a capsule or a space vehicle approaches the relatively dense atmosphere, a strong and detached bow shock takes place ahead of the vehicle which is detached from its nose. It is subjected to wide range of pressure, heat transfer and shear levels. The shock encounters the conversion of

    Impact of Arabic Numerals on Medieval Europe Medieval European society was changed by the introduction of the Arabic numerals into their society. The Islamic Golden Age introduced lots of innovative thought into the world, and eventually those ideas made their way into Europe, one of which was the Arabic numerals. They revolutionized the way that daily tasks, like merchant bookkeeping, and academia were approached. Medieval Europe was transformed by the Islamic Golden Age and that is highlighted

    In regards to algebra the advancement math can be perceived as a puzzle. Each piece plays a detrimental role in the discovery of the bigger picture. In algebra specifically there are 3 significant stages of progress that have evolved math into what we know today. The first phase of math to be discovered was rhetorical, which was later followed by syncopated and lastly symbolic. These three stages of progression also reflect on the advancement of S.T.E.M. based careers. The initial stage known as

    Learning of ’rate of change (slope)’ in Senior Secondary Schools in Australia. Students require a contextual knowledge of slope “so that they come to see slope as a graphical representation of the relationship between two quantities’ (Center for Algebraic Thinking (CAT), 2014). Without the multiple understandings required to master ‘rate of change’ and algebra many students are ill equipped to go on to levels of higher mathematics. It is necessary to engage students at level where they utilise the

    development and promotion of the new, mechanistic sciences. Descartes was credited by having the titles of French philosopher, mathematician, scientist and writer of the Age of Reason. As far as mathematics goes, he developed techniques that created algebraic geometry. René can be credited with several specific achievements: co-framer of the sine law of refraction, developer of an important empirical account of the rainbow, and proposer of a naturalistic account of the formation of the earth and planets.
