Geometry

Have you ever wanted to know why we use geometry, calculus, and mechanics when solving most of our mathematical problems. Who came up with such brilliant invention, and how did they do all of this. We know without this method we would be missing a lot of important things when trying to solve problems. If we could, we should thank Leonhard Euler himself for being so brilliant, so bright, and original. Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707, in Basel, Switzerland. Leonhard thought he had…

compared to what it should be in order to start finding a diagnosis. Lastly, doctors use math to calculate just how broken a patient might be. In “ How CAT scans work,” the author demonstrates how the doctor uses different forms of math such as geometry and trigonometry to find dimensions in x-rays. doctors use trigonometry especially to find just at what angle the X-ray needs to be captured in order to see what damage has been done. In conclusion, being a doctor includes tons of math.…

Introduction The NAPLAN test (http://www.nap.edu.au) is for both primary and secondary schools to assess the performance of Australian students against minimum national standards (Reys et al., 2012). With this in mind the approach to answering the questions was to work through all parts of the questions just like a student would, to form an understanding of the process and methods a student taking the test would perform. The questions were not overly difficult to conceptualise, however, working…

His math concept was capturing the core of geometry . Escher's first prints were made from linoleum auction block . He used an idea of Roger Penrose’s to develop many industrial plants of art. As his work developed he ties great breathing in from the mathematical melodic theme he read about. Despite…

It is very easy to see how math is engrained into everyday concepts. From adding the change in your pocket to measuring a cup of flour. Math is also in places that may not be as obvious, such as art. Some artists who use math for their art are Luca Pacioli, Leonardo da Vinci, and M.C. Escher. They all used math to create their works of art. Another artist who uses math in their work is Rafael Araujo. His art is completely free of modern technology. He does complex drawings using only a compass,…

emphasis on geometry in the Greek curriculum. The Greek method of instruction differs from…

Geometry can be applied to a lot of professions. Physical therapy is just one of the professions that have geometry involved in their job. We all know that geometry would most likely deal with angles. So, in what particular activity does geometry help in being a physical therapist? Some of the physical therapy clinics are retraining runners when their technique causes injury and the main diagnosis always comes down to the geometry of a runner's stride. According to Moncivais (2015), “running is…

The history of mathematics in the near consisted of three distinct divisions of time. The mid-third millennium is when there became evidence for knowledge of symmetry and geometry. Then continuing on into the later third millennium the establishment of accounting for time and labor became prevalent as well as the use of the sexagesimal place value system. The first systematic accounting techniques were developed in the southern Iraq city of Uruk as a result of a growth in the size of the city by…

every branch of mathematics. He was considered one of the most revolutionary figure in mathematics. “Leonhard Euler was one of math's most pioneering thinkers, establishing a career as an academy scholar and contributing greatly to the fields of geometry, trigonometry and calculus, among many others. He released hundreds of articles and publications during his lifetime, and continued to publish after losing his sight” ( Bio. ). Euler was born in Basel on April 15, 1707. He spent most of his…

Integrals have been around for hundreds of years and have been used in several ways to solve complicated math problems. An integral is a function that expresses the area under the curve of a graph of a function. The first time the technique was brought forward was by a greek astronomer Eudoxus in the 370 BC. He used the technique called as the method of exhaustion which helped him find area or volume. The way he achieved this was using infinite numbers of division. Later Archimedes came along…
