and two children. Newton despised his stepfather. When Newton as older, he left his parents to go study at Cambridge. That was were he developed most of his theories and discovered most of his discoveries. In 1669, Newton became the professor of mathematics at Cambridge. While…

The science fair is a way for students to show their science knowledge, problem solving skills, and to show their academic ability. The projects are meant to allow the students to learn more about a subject by creating a question and trying to answer it. The science fair is a large project to better the student and help fulfill the desire for knowledge in the science department. For many jobs, tasks, or even just exercise you need a snack to keep your energy levels immense. Lightweight snacks…

When thinking about M.C. Escher’s work, one would think of geometrical birds flying across the print with a landscape shown underneath, cubes and spheres overlapping one another, and weird surreal prints of inverted architecture. That is because he is most famous for his mathematical tessellations, which are tiling shapes overlapping one another creating a pattern that could be endless. Instead of just using any old shape, he used animals and other objects that made it more difficult for him to…

Growing up on a small farm in a small town such as Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England is not usually an indicator of great genius and future success. However, in the case of Sir Isaac Newton it is quite the opposite. In order to begin to understand how this one man was able to answer the great questions of his time, we must first look into his life. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 on his father's small farm. He was born to Isaac Newton Sr. and Hannah Ayscough Newton. His life was…

Cloud Gate’s qualities of “presentness” as lamented by Fried functions as a precursor that introduces elements of site and duration typically suited to an outdoor context or public realm. Rosalind Krauss notes that sculptors working in the minimalist idiom did so as they “had no faith in the ideals classical sculpture as founded on, and the only means by which they could explore the medium’s possibilities were to introduce the situational elements of placement and temporal duration” . Such a…

The trend of our data collected during the experiment was a weak correlation. This is because two variables have increased whereas the other two variables have decreased (Simpson, 2013). As shown in the graph in the results section, it can be seen that the times 20 seconds and 80 seconds are above the trend line and 40 secs and 60 secs are below the trend line. This therefore makes it a weak correlation, as there is no significant trend that can be seen that shows it is a positive trend line.…

The Scientific Method The scientific method is something that is used to perform scientific investigations. The process is based on empirical and measurable evidence. The scientific method can be looked at from different perspectives, meaning, not a lot of people will agree that it starts a certain way. As a student I can argue that it begins by gathering all your data first, but other people will respond and say that it starts by asking a simple question. Although no one really knows…

From an early age, I was good at solving puzzles and finding patterns. My interest in this program makes sense, since figuring out how things work are a huge part of the curriculum. I also like knowing how things are made and I like knowing how things work. I have always liked technology, and have always wanted to be a part of making and developing it. Since I like doing these things, the Science and Engineering Learning Center is where I would like to spend the next four years of my life. For…

I hope you had a good evening. We have finished reviewing the data and can now respond to the last two questions. We can to this conclusion by approaching the data in several ways to try to pinpoint exactly what is causing the increase 15Q4 onward. Frist, we identified 130 physicians who participated from 15Q2 to 16Q3 and looked at their patient sample. In 15Q2, 87% of the patients reported on by these 130 physicians were treated. There was a gradual increase in the group and by 16Q3, 90% of…

The database used to develop regression model is based on information collected by Fannie Mae in 2012 through industry wide Energy and Water Market Research Survey. Fannie Mae surveyed more than 1100 multifamily properties across the country to collect comprehensive data about energy and water from the property managers and owners. This dataset was then reviewed to remove any properties with missing or incorrect information associated with consumption and cost of energy and water. After…
