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.
Week One Written Assignment Tamara McPherson MAT126: Survey of Mathematical Methods Marion Buchheit May 16, 2013 For this week’s assignment we are asked to complete exercises 35 and 37 in the in our text “Real World Applications” section on page 280 of Mathematics in Our World. Mathematics uses numbers and number systems instead of the alphabet, but it's also a language. It’s a language that uses patterns and symbols. That can help us recognize, understand, describe and identify the changes in patterns. Exercise 35 from page 280 A person hired a firm to build a CB radio tower.
Both source A and B give a representation of a differing view as to why the 1909 budget was introduced by Lloyd George. Source A is an extract from a speech made in 1909 by Lloyd George himself, whereas source B is an extract from a book written in 1988, 87 years later. Straight away, this allows us to deduce the different views, due to the dramatically different time periods in which the sources were created. Source A is a primary source, being made at the time of the issue of discussion, so this would allow the sources maker, in this case Lloyd George, to give an accurate representation of the introduction of the reforms effect to general British society during the 20th century. Source B is a secondary source, looking back from the perspective of a historian, onto previous events.
Western Govenors University | Issues in Behavioral Science | GLT1 – Task 3 | | Toya Brabham 000324276 | 10/2/2014 | This essay discusses the Nature-Nurture debate and compares and contrast two types of studies conducted. | Since the first scientist began to study the individual differences in intelligence in the 1800’s, the debate of whether genetics or environmental actors were responsible for much of one’s intellectual ability has raged on. One of the first scientists, a British researcher, Sir Francis Galton sparked the infamous nature-nurture debate. Galton’s research concluded that heredity or genetics (nature) was responsible for intelligence. Environmentalist would later argue that the environment in which one is brought up had a much larger role in shaping the mind; these two contrasting views have set the stage for this much argued debate.
Week 1 Assignment Telecommunications Evolution Time-line MARVIN SORTOR NTC/362 Dorein Pfeil The beginning of the telecommunication industry started with a dream and some determination on a man named Alexander Graham Bell. In 1867 Bell invented the telephone the first hard-lined device. As the years went on other inventors tried to duplicate the wonders of the telephone communications device. In 1899 the name of Bell Telephone Company changed to American Telephone and Telegraph or (AT&T) as we know it today. The year 1934 marked a highlight in
When researching the birth of the battery, textbooks will credit Count Alassandro Volta with the creation of the electric battery, which was invented in 1800. But, a great find in Baghdad is believed to discount this honor. As you can also assume from his name, the measurement of potential electric output is called the volt. Referred to as the Baghdad Battery, this artifact was discovered within the ruins of a Parthian village, which is estimated to date back to between 248 B.C. and 226 A.D.
Scott E. Fahlman 3. What are rune stones and their connection to Danish King Harald Blatand (Bluetooth)? It’s a large stone carved with runes by ancient Scandinavians or Anglo -Saxons 4. Consumers use touchscreens at bank ATMs, airport check-ins, and mall kiosks. What did Dr. Samuel C. Hurst invent in 1971 that led to the development of touch screen technology?

The railroad industry was and still is very lucrative. Nowadays, the railroad system is embracing modern technology with the use of what is called as the Digital model railroad control system, which allows a decoder onboard the locomotive to provide control of speed and direction of motor (http://www.bachmann.co.uk/service/dcc0.php). However, the railroad system hasn't always been this way. In the 1800s, early railways were a far cry from the great system that we use today. The earliest railways in the United States were short, wooden railways built by quarries and mines (http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Railroads.aspx).
In Response, the USA creates the Advanced Research Project Agency(ARPA). The goal was to become the world's most advanced nation by improving science and technology. The first step was to allow computers to communicate. To explore this, in 1965 the TX-2 computer was build by engineer Robert Elliot. With a low speed dial-up telephone line, in California they tested the TX-2.
