The previous director was leaving for college‚ and there was a dire need for math tutors. Wanting to share my newfound love for mathematics‚ I jumped at the opportunity. I met with students enrolled in Geometry‚ AP Calculus‚ and even my own IB math class; more importantly‚ I worked with quite a few students on a long-term basis. In between perusing their textbooks‚ searching for lesson plans online‚ rehearsing the best way to explain complex concepts‚ and

then-known perfect number‚ proved e to be irrational‚ proved that all even perfect numbers must have the Mersenne number form that Euclid had discovered 2000 years earlier‚ and much more. Euler was also first to prove several interesting theorems of geometry‚ including facts about the 9-point Feuerbach circle; relationships among a triangle’s altitudes‚ medians‚ and circumscribing and inscribing circles; and an expression for a tetrahedron’s area in terms of its sides. Euler was first to explore topology

Nick Uota 4-29-13 Jakob Steiner and his Contributions to Geometry Among the many mathematicians with substantial contributions to Geometry‚ Jakob Steiner stands as one of the most important. He has contributed a wide range of equations to geometry‚ and is thought to be one of the best geometer of the 1800’s. Some of his equations and formulas include: Steiner’s surface‚ Steiner tree‚ the Steiner point‚ and the Steiner problem. As well as his formulas‚ Steiner also wrote and published a book

Shawn Frasier Thursday March 8‚2009 Professor Kolkmeyer ENG 91 In the Article “What True Education Should Do” by Sydney J Harris talks about what is education means to others. An average of people thinks that education is a moving sausage casing that the teacher must use to stuff into the student brain. But many people such as Socrates in the article disagree with the stuffing facts into a person‚ on the other hand

especially for solving equations‚major branch of mathematics which studies relations and operations or mathematical structure as a "linear" ring‚ is also called "algebra‚" or sometimes .algebra is one of main branches of pure mathematics‚ together with geometry‚ analysis‚ topology‚statistics and number theory. Algebra s often taught from anywhere between secondary school to the 12th grade . But does anyone ever stop to wonder were it originated ? Historians trace the roots of algebra back to ancient

It is believed that he traveled to such places as Egypt‚ arabia‚ india‚ Babylon‚ Phoenicia‚ and Judaea searching such knowledge about mythic cults and mythic gods.The Egyptians are said to have taught him geometry‚ and the Phoenicians are believed to have taught Pythagoras arithmetic. Around the age of 40‚ Pythagoras is believed to have moved to croton‚ a greek colony in italy‚ and set up a religious group where his followers pursued the religious rites

mathematical works and hundreds of mathematical and scientific memoirs. In his Introduction to the Analysis of Infinities (1748; trans. 1748)‚ Euler gave the first full analytical treatment of algebra‚ the theory of equations‚ trigonometry‚ and analytical geometry. In this work he treated the series expansion of functions and formulated the rule that only convergent infinite series can properly be evaluated. He also discussed three-dimensional surfaces and proved that the conic sections are represented by

Gauss Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician and scientist who dominated the mathematical community during and after his lifetime. His outstanding work includes the discovery of the method of least squares‚ the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry‚ and important contributions to the theory of numbers. Born in Brunswick‚ Germany‚ on April 30‚ 1777‚ Johann Friedrich Carl Gauss showed early and unmistakable signs of being an extraordinary youth. As a child prodigy‚ he was self taught in the
