Unlike many mathematicians, I live in an irrational world. I feel that my life is defined by a sure amount of irrationalities that are too frequent. Making it through a day requires challenging problem cracking, and this constant exposure has made me much better at adapting to them than previously. You can relate this to one of my heavier extracurricular activities, Thespians. When working on a scene for a performance there are many conflicts, whether it be inconsistency with behavior, awkward pacing, or misunderstanding of the material. We keep working on the piece until its performance ready, which to us means perfection. The strive for perfection has fueled me to achieve in many facets. A tremendous amount of care and effort is put into these, and I will give the same exertion to matters in leadership. I am actively involved in other clubs such as, Sophomore Class Council and NSHSS, and am eager to give plenty of my time for the purposes of Leadership. There is a camp in Apopka, FL called Camp Wewa. Here there is a leadership program for striving campers called the LIT program which I’ve been in for two years now; it stands for leader in training. This agenda means that I have literally been trained in the art of leadership, convenient I know. At this camp many values are taught like responsibility, honesty, and caring, putting emphasis on moral building. They are also big on acceptance no matter what background everybody is treated with same overwhelming kindness,

Bernard Bolzano

The topic became one that was not understood or could be hassled into a simple definition by many mathematicians of the time. Most of the debacle came from the two essential questions that intuitively arise when analyzing the idea of infinity: what is the nature of such a number and the proof of its existence? An early insight came from a seventeenth century philosopher, Bernard Bolzano. The mathematician explored sets with the following definition: “an embodiment of the idea or concept which we…

The History of Calculus Essay

all the credit for the discovery, however it was actually developed independently by two different men in the seventeenth century, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, a self-taught German mathematician, and Isaac Newton, an English scientist. They established the basic principles of calculus, and, with the help of other mathematicians, it was refined using the concept of the limit. Although both men were fundamental in the creation of calculus, they had different views. Newton considered variables changing…

Good: Probability as Cicero Essay

Inception of Probability As Cicero once said, “Probability is the very guide of life” (www.mathcs.carleton.edu). Probability helps mathematicians and everyday people find out the chance of something occurring. An example would be if someone tossed a coin, their chances of landing a head are 50%. In math, something occurring is known as an event. Probability of an event can also be written as fraction, decimal, or in terms such as certain, most likely, equally likely, unlikely, or impossible For…

Logarithms Research Paper

astronomers and mathematicians were our future. They charted the stars and wrote long equations to help with things like ship navigation, but this took time and was tedious. That's where our mathematicians come into play, creating equations like Logarithms. Mathematical and Scientific research would have taken much longer if Logarithms had not been invented and developed. There were many men involved in the creation and evolution of Logarithms. The first was a Scottish Mathematician and Theologist…

Essay about Lmao: Archimedes Palimpsest

Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Among his advances in physics are the foundations of hydrostatics, statics and an explanation of the principle of the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines, including siege engines and the screw pump that bears his name. Modern experiments have tested claims that Archimedes…

Organised Campaign

Union in Manchester, she thought that by breaking the law and causing trouble, they would get attention. Some people believed that by doing this they would only prove that they were incapable of making sensible decisions and should not get the vote. Unlike the Suffragists, they did things that effected people, like burning churches and empty buildings, chaining themselves to railings outside building like parliament and smashing windows; this made more of an impact than writing letters to people. The…

Sophie Paris Research Paper

world because she was a woman and wanted to change the role that women are perceived to have, Sophie Germain died by having her death certificate saying she was a “rentière- annuitant,” meaning a property holder instead of a “mathématicienne” (mathematician), showing disrespect to a person that had such a contribution to the theory of numbers in mathematics, acoustics and elasticity in physics as we know today. Sophie Germain was relevant to her…

Essay on On Quantum Theory

thermodynamics, you can’t win and you can’t break even; you just do as best as nature will allow. Perhaps most frustrating about all things quantum is their tendency toward inexactness, or, as was popularized by Werner Heisenberg, uncertainty. Unlike in many realms of quantitative analysis, Quantum Physics rarely – and, were it not for the fastidiousness in accounting for results that the subject requires, I would be inclined to say never – lends itself to exact answers. So, we talk about problems…
