undiminished. In mathematics, for example, Euclid (365-300 BCE) wrote 13 groundbreaking books on geometry that continued to be used until the late 19th century and “virtually invented classical (Euclidean) geometry as we know it” (Mastin, pars. 3). Archimedes, a 3rd-century BCE mathematician from Syracuse, made significant practical advances in the field of physics, inventing the compound pulley and the Archimedean screw; he famously stated, “give me a fulcrum, and I’ll shift the Earth,” affirming his

Rene Descartes was a famous French mathematician, scientist and philosopher. He was arguably the first major philosopher in the modern era to make a serious effort to defeat skepticism. His views about knowledge and certainty, as well as his views about the relationship between mind and body have been very influential over the last three centuries. Descartes was born at La Haye (now called Descartes), and educated at the Jesuit College of La Flèche between 1606 and 1614. Descartes later claimed

determining the object’s density, the methods of displacement and floatation, were implemented. The first method used to determine the plastic bead’s density was displacement. Displacement is a method used to find density that is associated with the Archimedes’ principle, which states that when an object is submerged in a liquid, it will displace its’ volume. In this experiment, displacement was used to find the volume of a group of beads, which were small, multicolored, smooth, and round with a large

Nick also wanted to learn practical things that were happening in the society in his tome not ancient Archimedes principals that had been advanced and replaced with better ones.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We express our deep gratitude to Mr. Gurparkash Singh for his constant support, guidance and motivation which helped us immensely in completing this project. The project provided us with an opportunity to understand the fundamentals of Knowledge Management in a better manner and its application in corporate world. The insistence on taking up a project on application of Knowledge Management in energy based firm and promoting it with latest technologies used by them to get a competitive

observation of reality. While there is little debate over the two central characters in the painting, the rest of the cast is up to interpretation. Some notable characters that scholars believe to be included are; Socrates, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, Archimedes, and Democritus. Not knowing exactly what these ancient philosophers looked like, Raphael used his contemporaries along with other friends and neighbors to depict the characters. He also included himself as one of the characters in the painting

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect that temperature has on the growth and respiration of yeast fermentation. The growth and respiration of the yeast can be determined by using a glucose/ yeast solution mixed with water in flasks set at different temperatures. Yeast in order to produce, has to make energy, to carry out all cellular functions (Spicer, & Holbrook, 2007). The concept that aerobic metabolism of all yeasts, is determined by the relative sizes of the

Women Mathematicians: Why So Few? The great field of mathematics stretches back in history some 8 millennia to the age of primitive man, who learned to count to ten on his fingers. This led to the development of the decimal scale, the numeric scale of base ten (Hooper 4). Mathematics has grown greatly since those primitive times, in the present day there are literally thousands of laws, theorems, and equations which govern the use of ten simple symbols representing the ten base numbers. The

The Greek empire flourished in a significant manner due to the early invention of Greek geometry. The first forms of Greek mathematics were discovered from 800 BC. - 600 BC.. However, during this time period, both literature and writing were far more advanced than math was. Eventually Greek math had expanded to other empires quickly advancing mathematicians knowledge of geometry. The first forms of Greek math were only innovations taken from other societies, but Greeks were the first to invent the

up a government. The Athenian democracy gave opportunities and opened many doors for those who like to call themselves as free thinkers to venture and ask the why. It gave the birth to many philosophers and scientists; such as Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, and Socrates. It all started in the year 6th century B.C, when Cleisthenes, an Athenian leader introduced new reforms of governing. He named them “ruled by the people.” This system was comprised of three separate
