Egyptian pyramids

Ancient Egyptians used a cubic formula, multiplying the base area by one-third of the height.

Hipparchus trigonometry

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:09:40 UTC

trigonometry based on a table of the lengths of chords in a circle of unit radius tabulated as a function of the angle subtended at the center

2's squared root

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:11:40 UTC

The square root of 2 or root 2 is represented using the square root symbol √ and written as √2 whose value is 1.414

Zeno's paradox

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:21:46 UTC

for motion to occur, an object must change the position which it occupies.He gives an example of an arrow in flight.

Thales of miletus

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:23:44 UTC

known for introducing the theoretical and practical use of geometry to Greece, and has been described as the first person in the western world to apply deductive reasoning to geometry

Pythagroas

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:25:05 UTC

a cornerstone of math that helps us find the missing side length of a right triangle. In a right triangle with sides A, B, and hypotenuse C, the theorem states that A² + B² = C². The hypotenuse is the longest side, opposite the right angle.

Plato

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:25:59 UTC

a philosopher during the 5th century BCE. He was a student of Socrates and later taught Aristotle. He founded the Academy, an academic program which many consider to be the first Western university.

Greek uses numerals

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:27:01 UTC

The Greeks used two number systems, one mainly for currency and everyday counting and a more sophisticated number system which was used by the learned. Strictly speaking there were many Greek number systems, since each island had their own system however they were all pretty similar.

Euclid

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:27:59 UTC

euclidean geometry is the study of Geometry based on the undefined terms such as points, lines, and planes of flat spaces. In other words, it is the study of geometrical shapes both plane shapes and solid shapes and the relationship between these shapes in terms of lines, points, and surfaces.

Plato's polyhedra

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:30:25 UTC

One of the most striking features of Platonic solids is that they are all regular polyhedra. This means that each face of the solid is a congruent regular polygon, and the vertices of the solid are all congruent (i.e., identical) and equidistant from the center of the solid.

volume of a cylinder

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:33:03 UTC

The earliest evidence of volume calculation came from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia as mathematical problems .Approximating volume of simple shapes such as cuboids, cylinders, frustum and cones.

area of an encircled quadrilateral

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:35:32 UTC

Cyclic quadrilaterals are useful in various types of geometry problems, particularly those in which angle chasing is required

paddhati

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 15:36:57 UTC

all exponents should be simplified first, followed by multiplication and division from left to right. finally, addition and subtraction from left to right.

rene Descartes

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 16:29:43 UTC

Many people also call him the father of analytic geometry, which connects the fields of algebra and geometry. This is because Descartes discovered that you can plot any two-dimensional point on a mathematical plane.

Issac newton

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 16:30:34 UTC

Isaac Newton was one of the world's great scientists because he took his ideas, and the ideas of earlier scientists, and combined them into a unified picture of how the universe works. Isaac explained the workings of the universe through mathematics.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 16:32:12 UTC

German philosopher, mathematician, and political adviser. Important both as a metaphysician and as a logician and distinguished also for his independent invention of the differential

Calculus

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 16:33:39 UTC

Infinitesimal calculus was developed independently in the late 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Later work, including codifying the idea of limits, put these developments on a more solid conceptual footing.

Carl Friedrich gauss

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 16:35:04 UTC

Bode's law, the binomial theorem and the arithmetic- geometric mean. Well as the law of quadratic reciprocity and the prime number theorem.

kelper point-sot polyhedra

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 16:37:54 UTC

Kelper discovered two new regular polyhedra. These shapes can be made by building a regular dodecahedron or icosahedron and adding pyramidal or pentagramal volumes to each face.

mapping of E8

zoeybarrick — 2024-11-12 16:39:26 UTC

mapping it as a geometrical object, didn't make sense since that's a well-understood problem.The group E8 is a 248 dimensional space, but its local geometry is the same everywhere and completely understood in terms of its Lie algebra.
