are a genius" "Well, I don't like geniuses." Edward began his university education close to home, bowing to his mothers insistence, at the University of Budapest. His father had talked him into studying engineering instead of math as his main subject. After a dissatisfying period at the university in 1926 Edward enrolled at the Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 1928 Edward again switched schools to the University of Munich, where he would study physics. In 1928 Edward had an accident

encouragement and good offices at court. When finally it was time and the Duke sent him through Collegium Carolinum (now Technische Universitat Braunshweig) where he attended from 1792 to 1795 and after that the Duke sent him to another university called the University of Gottingen form 1795 to 1798, where he studied his little heart out. While in Collegium in 1797, he collected a very ripe and seasoned education filled with science and classical education way beyond those his age. He was way ahead of those

Currently, there is a slow, but hard battle on the labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms, more commonly known as GMO’s. Some scientist and farmers may say that GMO production is beneficial to their finances; however, it is a health risk on humans, due to the chemical

David Hilbert was born January 23,1862 in Konigsberg, Prussia. Which is now Kaliningrad, Russia. He started his career at the University of Konigsberg, where he finished his inaugural-dissertation (PH.D) in 1884. He then remained at Konigsberg working as a Privatdozent which is a lecture or assistant professor from 1886 to 1892. Consequently, he started working as an extraordinary associate professor from 1892 to 1893. Nevertheless, he then took a job as an Ordinarius from the year 1893 to the year

Edward Teller is the prolific scientist who helped create the most powerful weapon the world has ever seen, the hydrogen bomb. I will touch on his major discovery, a brief look into the 1940’s so we can understand him better for what he did in the 1950’s, and what his discovery led to in the world we live in today. Edward Teller affected not only the entire planet both negatively and positively in 1950’s, but also continues to affect and advance our scientific discoveries. Edward Teller was born

This was not the case however when Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm first started to write and collect their tales. Many were uncomfortable with them and the very violent scenes they had. People

boring but found pleasure throughout classical literature. After high school Weber went off to Heidelberg University to study Law, History, Philosophy, and economics. After three semesters of university Weber went on to spend a year in the military. Following the year in the military, Weber decided to go back to university in 1884 at the University of Berlin, followed by a year at Gottingen. Weber then went on to pass his bar exam in 1886 and earn his Ph.D in 1889. Ultimately completing his habitation

Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) Introduction: Carl Friedrich Gauss is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He is a creator in the logical-mathematical domain as he contributed many ideas to the fields of mathematics, astronomy, and physics. Being a math education major, I have come into contact with Gauss’ work quite a few times. He contributed greatly to the different areas of mathematics like linear algebra, calculus, and number theory. Creativity can be seen

Out of Oldenburg, Germany, at a time in history where traditional German philosophy was shifting from its idealist roots towards realism, came a metaphysician who, according to Williams (1911), would become known as one of the fathers of modern educational psychology. Johann Friedrich Herbart was born in May of 1776 (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2014) to a father who, although successful and respected as a lawyer and businessman, had a rather parochial approach to his dealings, and a mother, who by

philosophy and psychology. Years later after having been diagnosed “her paper on curvature of elastic surfaces was published in the scientific journal ‘Crelle’s Journal’.” Because of Sophie’s contribution, her former mentor Gauss convinced the University of Gottingen to award her an honorary degree. Tragically on June 27, 1831, in Paris, France Sophie Germain lost her fight with breast cancer before she could receive the award. Even though Sophie Germain died at the fairly early age of 55 she left behind
