The first written language was created known as cuneiforms, a symbolic way to record trades and stories. This is the format for which the first written law was created, the Code of Hammurabi. The Code of Hammurabi was written by the ruler of Babylon at this time Hammurabi, the first dynasty king of the city-state of Babylon.
Hammurabi’s Code, also known as the Codex Hammurabi and the Code of Hammurabi was said to be the oldest surviving legal system. This code or set of laws was written by Hammurabi, who was the sixth king of Babylon. Many have said that Hammurabi had two different identities, one being Hammurabi and the other was Amraphel, who was the King of Shinar in the Book of Genesis. His laws were Written on a stone tablet and they stood over eight feet tall. They were found in Persia in 1901.
Bhāskara II, also called Bhāskarācārya, or Bhaskara The Learned (born 1114, Biddur, India—died c. 1185, probably Ujjain), the leading mathematician of the 12th century, who wrote the first work with full and systematic use of the decimal number system. Bhāskara II was the lineal successor of the noted Indian mathematician Brahmagupta (598–c. 665) as head of an astronomical observatory at Ujjain, the leading mathematical centre of ancient India. In his mathematical works, particularly Līlāvatī (“The Beautiful”) and Bījagaṇita (“Seed Counting”), he not only used the decimal system but also compiled problems from Brahmagupta and others. He filled many of the gaps in Brahmagupta’s work, especially in obtaining a general solution to the Pell equation (x2 = 1 + py2) and in giving many particular solutions.
[3] The method of exhaustion was later used in China by Liu Hui in the 3rd century AD in order to find the area of a circle. In the 5th century AD, Zu Chongzhi used what would later be called Cavalieri's principle to find the volume of a sphere. [2] Around AD 1000, the Islamic mathematician, Ibn al-Haytham (Alhacen), was the first to derive the formula for the sum of the fourth powers of an arithmetic progression, using a method that is readily generalizable to finding the formula for the sum of any higher integral powers, which he used to perform an integration. [4] In the 11th century, the Chinese polymath Shen Kuo developed 'packing' equations that dealt with integration. In the 12th century, the Indian mathematician, Bhāskara II, developed an early derivative representing infinitesimal change, and he described an early form of "Rolle's theorem".
Can I Buy You Happiness? Journal # 2 Foundations of Student Success UC.IDS.1000 Instructor: Noreen Barlas University College of the North October 18, 2013 Lynn Smith Let me start off by telling you a bit about myself. I first originated 2500 years ago, around seventh to sixth century BC. When I was first formed I was made into metal. I have changed over time.
The Philips of Australia the first stereo TV and the Philips of the UK created the first TV’s with teletext. The NO’s take the responsibility for financial, legal and administrative matters. In Eindhoven there were fourteen PD’s located, they were responsible for the development, production and global distribution. The research function kept independent and in Europe and America Philips set up eight separate laboratories. Before the war Philips follows a more corporate-level structure and in the postwar era they followed a geographic/product matrix.
The article “The History of Hinduism” talks about the Indus Valley Civilization as an origin of the Hinduism and discuss the "Aryan Invasion” hypothesis. Hinduism is the oldest living religion in the world, and the first evidence of it was dated 2000 BC. Since its great age and absence of a founder, the early history of Hinduism is very hard to rebuild. According the author of this article, because the most early writings are already interpreted, the scholars have to believe in the “educated guesses based on archaeology and the study of contemporary texts.” In fact, in 1921, the first evidences of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization were discovered along the Indus River, and it was found that it is originated as early as 7000 BC. There were physical evidences founded that supports the idea that this region is the origin of the Hinduism.
NAME : Badi'al-Zaman Abū al-'Izz ibn Ismā'īl ibn al-Razāz al-Jazarī TIME : (1136–1206) the Islamic Golden Age (Middle Ages) EXPERTISE : polymath, scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, craftsman, artist and mathematician FROM : Jazirat ibn Umar , known as Cizre, Turkey He is known as al-Jazari,. He was named after the area in which he was born which is the city of Jazirat ibn Umar. Like his father before him, he served as chief engineer at the Artuklu Palace, the residence of the Mardin branch of the Artuqid dynasty which ruled across eastern Anatolia as vassals of the Zangid rulers of Mosul and later Ayyubid general Saladin. He was born in the city of Tor which now located in the district of Cizre in south-Eastern Turkey. Al-Jazari was part of a tradition of craftsmen and was thus more of a practical engineer than an inventor.
The base of Khufu’s pyramid is just about 13 acres, and 2.3 million blocks were used to build the pyramid, and they each weighed 2.5 tons. The total weight of the of the pyramids are estimated at 6.5 milltion tons The other pyramids were built by Khufu’s son and grandson. The other south and west pyramids were built for Khafre, Khufu’s son, and he was the third pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty. The pyramid of Khafre was 707 feet square and was 470 feet in height, and is one the only pyramids to have its orginal limestone intact at the top. The smallest of the pyramids were built by Khafre’s son, Menrake.
Martin Cooper’s Invention of the Cell Phone Since Martin Cooper’s invention of the cellular phone in 1973, mobile communication has evolved from its initial purpose of providing the ability to communicate verbally to text messaging and access to mobile internet connectivity. The early origins of wireless communication date as far back to 1861 when J.M.C. Maxwell at King’s college in London proposed a mathematical theory of electromagnetic waves (Toni 11). The concept of the cellular phone was, at that time, merely an abstract dream. It was not until many years later in 1947, AT&T’s research arm, Bell Labs, introduced the idea of cellular communications (Web Corp.).
