Extractions: International Left - Hander's Day International Left Hander's Day is a day that every left-handed person in the world should be celebrating. International Left-Hander's Day was first declared and celebrated on August 13, 1976 by an organization called Lefthanders International. Though not as well know as other holidays, it is a day to address the myths and misconceptions about left-handers. It is a day to pay tribute to famous left-handed artists, athletes, and entertainers, and to praise the creative talents of all of the less famous left-handers in society. Some may prefer a more somber observance, remembering the past prejudice which forced so many left-handed people to become right-handed and made their lives so difficult. No-one has come up with a definitive reason for WHY some people are left-handed, but about 10% of the population around the world are. No gene for left-handedness has been identified, but it does seem to run strongly in families. The brain is "cross-wired" so that the left hemisphere controls the right handed side of the body and vice-versa and hand dominance is connected with brain dominance on the opposite side. A few left handed facts: 4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed.

Extractions: Geometrii je mo¾no budovat dvìmi metodami: syntetickou a analytickou. Pøi syntetické metodì se pracuje pøímo s geometrickými objekty a mluví se o tzv. syntetické geometrii. Tímto zpùsobem pìstovali geometrii ji¾ Øekové ve starovìku, prvním pokusem o dùsledné axiomatické vybudování syntetické geometrie jsou Eukleidovy základy. Pøi analytické metodì jsou nejdøíve geometrické objekty charakterizovány èíselnými údaji a na základì práce s tìmito èíselnými údaji jsou pak vyvozovány geometrické vlastnosti daných objektù. Aèkoliv první pøedzvìst analytické metody lze najít také ji¾ ve starovìkém Øecku, v¹eobecnì kladou historikové matematiky zrod vlastní analytické geometrie teprve do 17. století. Tento zrod byl podmínìn dvìma dùle¾itými aspekty: zavedením jednoduché matematické symboliky a rozvojem algebry. Zjednodu¹enì by se dalo øíci, ¾e analytická geometrie je aplikací algebry na geometrii. Tuto aplikaci provedl v 1. pol. 17. stol. René Descartes a polo¾il tím základ k systematickém budování této disciplíny. Pøièem¾ na poèátku se úvahy analytické geometrie odehrávaly výhradnì na pùdì lineární algebry. 17. století je poèátkem dal¹í matematické disciplíny. V této dobì Newton a Leibnitz nezávisle na sobì objevili pojmy integrál a derivace. Vznikl tak diferenciální a integrální poèet, postupnì diferenciální a integrální rovnice, funkcionální analýza atd. tj. rozsáhlá matematická disciplína, kterou dnes nazýváme matematická analýza.

Ockham's Razor Likewise, in science, nicole d'oresme, a 14thcentury French physicist, invoked thelaw of economy, as did Galileo later, in defending the simplest hypothesis http://www.occm.de/occam's-razor.html
Extractions: non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem (entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity) T his principle was stated by William of Ockham (1285-1347/49). It is also called the 'Law of Economy' and the 'Law of Parsimony'. Nevertheless, the principle was invoked before Ockham by Durand de Saint-Pourçain, a French Dominican theologian and philosopher of dubious orthodoxy, who used it to explain that abstraction is the apprehension of some real entity, such as an Aristotelian cognitive species, an active intellect, or a disposition, all of which he spurned as unnecessary. Likewise, in science, Nicole d'Oresme, a 14th-century French physicist, invoked the law of economy, as did Galileo later, in defending the simplest hypothesis of the heavens. Other later scientists stated similar simplifying laws and principles. O ckham, however, mentioned the principle so frequently and employed it so sharply that it was called "Ockham's razor." He used it, for instance, to dispense with relations, which he held to be nothing distinct from their foundation in things; with efficient causality, which he tended to view merely as regular succession; with motion, which is merely the reappearance of a thing in a different place; with psychological powers distinct for each mode of sense; and with the presence of ideas in the mind of the Creator, which are merely the creatures themselves.
Cardano's Kosmos na elkaar geboren tweelingen als Jacob en Ezau.) Fundamenteler was de kritiek vande 14deeeuwse Franse bisschop en wetenschapper nicole d'oresme, die stelde http://www.skepsis.nl/cardano.html
Extractions: Er waren wel eerder horoscopen van Jezus Christus getrokken. Vaak wordt gedacht dat Cardano's horoscoop een unieke uitdaging aan de theologie was, maar handgeschreven exemplaren circuleerden ruim voordien van astroloog naar astroloog. Het was wél een gevaarlijke uitdaging want als het leven van Christus reeds bij zijn geboorte in de sterren besloten lag, hoe zat het dan met zijn komst, zijn wonderbaarlijke geboorte en zijn verrijzenis uit de doden: waren die onontkoombaar, waren dat dan geen door God gegeven ingrepen in de kosmische orde? Dat Cardano's horoscoop van Christus toch een enorme publiciteit kreeg (en hem nóg beroemder maakte) was om twee redenen. Ten eerste omdat hij haar niet rondstuurde maar daadwerkelijk publiceerde, en wel in het hart van zijn omvangrijke en veel geprezen commentaar op hét klassieke astrologische standaardwerk, de Tetrabiblos van Ptolemeus. Ten tweede omdat hij grotendeels voorbij ging aan de reeds circulerende horoscopen en daarmee onder collega's veel verontwaardiging oogstte. Zelf was hij zeer tevreden over het resultaat. Als geboortetijd nam hij simpelweg middernacht van 25 december van het jaar voorafgaand aan 1, en hij trof op dat moment niet minder dan tien astrologische voortekenen van komende grootheid aan, waaronder een komeet (een laat-antieke toevoeging aan het geboorteverhaal) en uiteraard de ster van Bethlehem, volgens Cardano geen komeet, maar een waar teken te midden van de sterrenbeelden.
