gun, the distance of the projectile will increase. Literature Review: Coil gun A coilgun (aka gun Gauss, Gauss Gauss cannon or rifle) is a type of gun that uses a series of electromagnets for magnetically accelerate a projectile at high speed. The name "Gauss gun" comes from Carl Friedrich Gauss, who formulated the mathematical proofs of the electromagnetic effect used by Gauss cannons. The Gauss cannons are often called wrongly railguns from various sources, and while they are similar in general

Sophie Germain was born April 1st of 1776, an era of revolution. The American Revolution began around the year of her birth. Then thirteen years passed when the French Revolution began in her own country. In many ways Sophie personified the spirit of revolution into which she was born. She was a middle class female who went against the wishes of her family and the social prejudices of the time to become a highly recognized mathematician. Like the member of a revolution, her life was full of determination

Sophie Germain: A Woman of Her Own Course The worst thing that could ever occur in a person's life is the inability to be the person who they want to be and think about life the way they choose to think about life. I have experienced such situations in my own life, and, after reading about the female mathematician Sophie Germain, I found it inspirational--if not, comforting--to know that another woman in history experienced the same in her life. A woman of her own thought, Germain hid her mathematical

Why Beauty is truth: A History of Symmetry by Ian Stewart is in depth on how mathematicians came about symmetry. Instead of coming across symmetry by geometry as someone today might think, Stewart shows how it became an idea by algebra. Most of the book is told in chronological order from the early Egyptians and Babylonians discovery of the quadratic equation and leading up to the impossibility to solve the quintic equation. Through each chapter we see how mathematicians get one step closer to solving

what is taking place. Einstein once famously stated “Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” Nothing really can tell the story of discovery like mathematics. The concept of infinity is fascinating to many theorists. Karl Friedrich Gauss, a

her. In order to receive this prize Sophie was asked to prove that Fermat’s Last Theorem is accurate. Sophie wrote a letter to Carl Friedrich Gauss and in this letter, she stated that the number theory was her preferred field. Sophie’s letter contained the first substantial progress toward any type proof that Fermat’s Last Theorem was accurate in 200 years. However, Gauss never answered her letter and Sophie never received the

Sophie Germain, or in full Marie-Sophie Germain, was an extraordinary mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. She was born on April 1, 1776 in Paris, France to Ambroise-Francois Germain and Marie-Madeleine Gruguelu. After working extra hard to be a mathematician just because she was a woman, she received several awards, but even now people feel that she was not fully recognized for the many things she accomplished. The American Revolution began in 1776, the year she was born, and thirteen years

controlled remotely in wireless network infrastructure (Watts, & Porter, 1997). The early working system in wireless communication started in 1832 by Baron Schilling in Russia, who created electromagnetic telegraph using electrical signals. In 1833, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Weber created a new code, which could communicate over 1200 meter distance in Göttingen, Germany. Shortly after, in 1835 Joseph Henry and Edward Davy reshaped electrical relay by using a magnetic coil that amplified currents. As

Palban, Marvic Trisha V. Palban BSMA - 2 HISTORY OF STATISTICS The history of statistics can be said to start around 1749 although, over time, there have been changes to the interpretation of the word statistics. By the 18th century, the term "statistics" designated the systematic collection ofdemographic and economic data by states. In the early 19th century, the meaning of "statistics" broadened to include the discipline concerned with the collection, summary, and analysis of data. Today
