    The Nothing that is about Everything The Nothing That Is A Natural History of Zero by Robert Kaplan is a book literally a book about the number zero and how it was formed. He takes the reader on a journey through time and shows the transformation of not just zero but numbers in general from multiple countries and empires. Kaplan starts off his book by describing zero and what its possibilities are in the world. Then he jumps into the Sumerians who were one of the first to create a number system

    Compass and Straightedge: Basic Constructions and Limitations In Euclid’s Elements, Book 1, the very first proposition states, “To construct an equilateral triangle on a given finite straight-line.” (Heiberg, Fitzpatrick, Euclid, pg 8) This proposition is saying that it is possible to construct an equilateral triangle from a given segment. Euclid was able to perform this construction with just a straightedge and compass. As The Elements was published in 300 BC (Heiberg, Fitzpatrick, Euclid, pg 4)

    Today, our speaker is a great mathematician who has made many contributions to the field of mathematics, especially regarding geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Through his lifetime, he has been a revered published author and has many prolific articles depicting his research. The man I am referring to is the eighteenth mathematician, Leonhard Euler. At a young age, Euler showed a propensity to mathematics and that was recognized by many elder mathematician. As a teen, Euler was discovered by

    Placement exam is to review everything. While researching common information about these pretests, I found that although there is a large amount of algebra, there is mostly a mixture of almost any kind of math. These include Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, trigonometry, Reading comprehension, Elementary Math, and many other possibilities. For this type of test, I do not feel prepared at the moment- at least not nearly as prepared as I could be. I know that I can achieve being prepared by doing everything

    As a mathematician, he is most notable for his work on the classification and solution of cubic equations, where he provided geometric solutions by the intersection of conics.[5][6] As an astronomer, he composed a calendar which proved to be a more accurate computation of time than that proposed five centuries later by Pope Gregory XIII.[7]:659[8] Omar was born in Nishapur, in northeastern Iran. He spent most of his life near the court of the Karakhanid and Seljuq rulers in the period which witnessed

    The aim of this task is to investigate geometric shapes, which lead to special numbers. The simplest example of these are square numbers, such as 1, 4, 9, 16, which can be represented by squares of side 1, 2, 3, and 4. Triangular numbers are defined as “the number of dots in an equilateral triangle uniformly filled with dots”. The sequence of triangular numbers are derived from all natural numbers and zero, if the following number is always added to the previous as shown below, a triangular number

    axioms and proved them. Greek mathematics refers to the time between 600 B.C to 529 A.D. Most of the mathematical work done by the Greeks was geometry. It is said to have started with Thales, a famous Greek mathematician, who was the first person to lay down the abstract development of geometry. He established what is known as Thales Theorem. Thales used geometry to calculate the height of pyramids and find the distance from ships to shore. However, some say that Pythagoras deserves the true title for

    mathematics and made many contributions to geometry. Not much is known about the early life of Pythagoras. However, it is known that his father, Mnesarchus, was a merchant and that Pythagoras traveled frequently with his father (“Pythagoras of Samos,” n.d.). Thales and Anaximander were philosophers who are believed to have influenced Pythagoras and his interest in mathematics (“Pythagoras of Samos,” n.d.). In fact, Anaximander was interested in geometry. He lectured on Miletus where Pythagoras

    1. Write a short (2 pages) essay on Greek Mathematics The mathematicians of ancient Greece contributed to the Mathematic of the world, and its applications vary on an intellectual basis, from geometry to engineering, astronomy to design. Influenced by the Egypt mathematicians, Greek mathematicians made breakthroughs such as Pythagoras' theory of right-angled triangles. Their Mathematic created the basic mathematical building blocks, and being useful up to today for mathematicians and scientists.
