    A Modest Inaccuracy

    • 372 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Mathematics is a logical and precise subject. Without precision in math everything is imprecise. A modest inaccuracy can produce a catastrophe. For example, if a doctor fails to calculate the correct amount of medicine to give a patient, it could result in a serious complication, such as death. A further example is the logic and precision it takes to construct a building. If there is one minor miscalculation the whole building could collapse, causing mass destruction. As specified above, you have

    In Algebra II Trigonometry, there are many equations and functions used to guide us for solving problems, whether it be in real-world or hypothetical situations. Logarithms and exponential functions are just some examples of those equations. Exponential functions and Logarithms work well together because they "undo" each other, making them very useful and unique. Logarithms are used more commonly in everyday life than you think. Using logarithms is an easier way to describe numbers in powers of

    One of the assignment I chose for math was a test. I chose this assignment because one of the hardest test †hey I have ever done. Even though received a C I am still proud of it because for me it was a challenge. The assignment was about “Linear Equations, Getting m & b and Scatter Plots. The problems that are in the test is for number seven which is about how the given data represents a linear function and to complete the table of solutions and write equation. That is part of the test questions

    up of the seeds of life, which are made out of 13 circles. The Flower of Life is the seed of life repeated, over and over again until a hexagon is formed. “The most common form of the "Flower of Life" is hexagonal pattern,” said the article Sacred Geometry. Leonardo DA Vinci is a mathematician that has studied the Flower and found many great things that it holds. The meaning of this of this symbol is, the forms of space and time. In the symbol you can find one of the most important symbols, The Tree

    “Instead, he studied geometrical objects such as line segments, angles, etc., whiling avoiding giving numerical values to lengths of line segments, sizes of angles, and other magnitudes.” (Lecture 8. Eudoxus, Avoided a Fundamental Conflict) By using geometry to evade irrational numbers, a mathematical crisis had been covered. Although Greeks could not tolerate irrational numbers, they accepted “irrational geometric quantities such as the diagonal of the unit square” (Lecture 8. Eudoxus, Avoided a Fundamental
