By the 400's BC, Pythagoras was interested in finding the patterns and rules in mathematics and music, and invented the idea of a mathematical proof (Ancient Greek Science). Pythagoras is where we get our Pythagorean Theorem in geometry today. The ancient Greek culture was fixed on proving that everything was true, they did this by using a lot of geometry; this is why geometry
King Tutankahamen I chose to write my report about King Tutankahamen because I find Egyptian history fascinating and exciting. I think this of Egypt’s history because it is the setting to many of the events that took place in the Bible and because I found it very interesting and very fascinating when we studied it during class. In this paper I will be talking about and explaining the life of King Tut, some of his family, the different theories behind his death, and the finding of his tomb. In the Year of 1333BC Akhenaten the father of Tutankahamen died. Scientists do not know completely what caused his death but it is believed to be a heart disorder (Weeks P.24).When Akhenaten died it left the soon to be King Tut to become the twelfth
Wow, I am glad we use the shorter version of π =3.14 to solve our math problems but what is π really used for in today’s world? The obvious answer is π is used in almost every branch of math. If you want to find the circumference of a circle, the surface area of a cylinder, the area of a sector of a circle, any measurement of a circle, cylinder, or sphere it involves π since π was used to make the circle. So with that in mind, I thought I had a good handle on where π is used in the real world today. It is used by architects, contractors, draftsmen, building and bridge designers, engineers, or just about any job that uses shapes.
Iridology can be traced back to ancient times, with Babylonians carving into stone slabs pictures of the iris and its relationship to the body (Duncan, 2007 pg. 4). It was Ignatz Von Peczely who drew the first Iris chart in 1881 and is considered to be the “father of Iridology” (Duncan, 2007, pg. 4). Henry Lindlahr, a notable figure in both Iridology and Naturopathy contributed major works to the expansion of Iridology and in 1913 published his first book that expanded over 6 volumes with the sixth dedicated to Iridology and other diagnostic techniques (Duncan, 2007, pg.
At thirteen she would study rhetoric and philosophy, the fine art of persuasion and nine languages. In fact she was the first Ptolemy to learn Egyptian, making her a highly persuasive and respected ruler. She was eighteen when she and her ten year old brother came into power. Cleopatra’s father had financially secured an ally in Rome and Cleopatra would find out that she must maintain that ally by befriending the most powerful man in Rome. For her father that man had been Pompey.
Brunelleschi and the Origin of Linear Perspective http://www.mcm.edu/academic/galileo/ars/arshtml/arch1.html 1. How did Brunelleschi determine how to create a rational system for depicting space? He used linear perspective which allowed him to be able to create a realistic illusion of the 3 dimensional spaces on a 2 dimensional surface. This made it possible, with the help from mathematics, to represent reality of the artist and the physical reality of nature. He was the first to test out a series of optical experiments that led to his discoveries and findings.
* * The story of Tutankhamun is that he inherited the throne at the young age of 9 years old and held the title for about ten years until he died, which is why he is well known as “the boy king.” Tutankhamun’s tomb when found was also found almost completely intact and is the most complete ancient Egyptian royal tomb every found. Many people wanted the throne that Tutankhamun had and there are many theories as to exactly how Tutankhamun died although there was a dense spot found in the back of his head and a break in his leg when a CT scan was performed there are also theories of his death by murder, an injury that could not be healed that would have caused infection and potentially death and mosquito bites.
There were many important advancements made during the scientific revolution, but none more important than the work of Isaac Newton. Newton led a somewhat troubled childhood to become possibly the greatest influence on mathematics and science in the history of mankind. Primarily, he was a physicist, but he was also a mathematician, astronomer, philosopher and alchemist. Aside from all of his theories and discoveries he completely revolutionized the approach to science and was a key catalyst to the Scientific Revolution. Isaac Newton was born prematurely on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe Lincolnshire England.
Oedipus’ knowledge had helped him solve the riddle and made him famous, which led the way for his future. “Who did arise and stand betwixt death and our land.” Once Oedipus had solved the riddle he had been made King. His power grew as he rose to the occasion when his country was faced with struggles and he solved them. Oedipus’ country was weak and looking for a strong leader for guidance. “Who, shooting far beyond the rest, won wealth all-blest, slaying Zeus, thy monster maid.” In the beginning years of his life Oedipus had many great accomplishments leading up to him becoming king such as solving the sphinx riddle and solving the town’s problems.
At some stage, Socrates, the great philosopher of the ancient world, is born. The Golden Age in Athens, Greece begins and this will bring the great monuments, art, philosophy, architecture and literature in the ancient world. In this era the 60 ft. sculptor of Zeus, is build and becomes on e of the seven wonders if the ancient world. Jerusalem, does not want to stay behind and Nehemiah builds Jerusalem wall, in 445 BC. It is during this era that Malachi becomes a prophet and then the Jewish language, the Hebrew is being replaced by Aramaic in 390 BC.
