    Extractions: The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks Abstract: Our integrated project blends the subjects of math and history. Since two of our group members never bothered to show up these are the only two subjects we will be covering, with the two history majors focusing on religion and government respectively. The math portion will focus on famous Greek mathematicians. With the help of a special education major, we will alter the plan to cater to the needs of special needs students. I plan to use the week to explain how the ancient Greeks introduced a democratic form of government. This was a revolutionary form of rule in a world of dictators and tyrants. Throughout the week the class will learn about the origins of Greek democracy and its prominent figures. We will then compare and contrast the Greek form of democracy to the one used in our own government. We will also be discussing the possible reasons why democracy failed in Greece and if it seems possible for the United States to suffer the same fate. Names and Majors of the Team Members: Subjects Integrated: Objectives: Upon completion of this lesson, participating students will be able to note five key similarities between the ancient Greek democracy and the democracy of the United States.

    Extractions: Subject: Re: [HM] Origin of Quadratic Author: ssgl@math.rochester.edu Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 14:02:08 -0500 "Quadratus" is the Latin word for a square; the Latin word for four is "quattuor". I do not know how "quadr-" became associated with "four"; though "quadrangle" I believe occurs in Shakespeare but I would guess that quadrangle and quadrilateral originally were geometric figures that had the same number of angles or sides as a square. Usually in mathematics "quadr-" refers to a square; for example, the "quadratrix of Hippias and Dinostratus" was used to "square the circle." In German, I note that the German word for a "square" is "Quadrat" , and for a "square root", "Quadratwurzel". Sanford Segal The Math Forum

    Extractions: The Story of p By : Wrutheran Sinnadurai Unit Matematik, MPKTBR The number p is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. This ratio is the same for all circles and cannot be expressed exactly as a decimal. A practical approximate value for p that is often used is 3.1416 or 3 . Apart from circles, p also appears in problems related to certain surface areas and volumes in solid geometry. However, the use of p is not restricted to geometry alone; many branches of mathematics and physics, such as number theory, statistics, acturial theory, vibrational theory and alternating electric currents, engage the number p The use of the number p goes as far back as around 2000 B.C. The Egyptians used the value of 3.16 in some of their calculations. However the concept of p among the Egyptians was rather vague. In the Old Babylonian period (c. 1800 - 1600 B.C.) the circumference of a circle was found by taking three times its diameter. This gave p a value of 3. The Hebrews, according to biblical accounts used the same value. It was the Greeks who showed concerted interest in determining the value of p . Hippocrates (c. 440 B.C.), Dinostratus ( c. 350 B.C.) and Euclid (c. 300 B.C.) all attempted to find values for

It starts with the concept of number, which is the foundation of mathematics. The book then describes how each layer of mathematical knowledge was added and how various cultures contributed to the general mathematical knowledge over the centuries. In many instances, the development of a concept took place in more than one geographical location, such as the idea of logarithms. John Napier of Scotland was the first to publish a work on logarithms, but Jobst Burgi of Switzerland developed a similar idea at about the same time. A chronological table, beginning with the origin of the sun and ending with 1980, places important mathematical developments in relation to historical world wide events.

    Extractions: web hosting domain names email addresses related sites Duncan Graham-Rowe Astronomers are taking the search for somewhere quiet to work to new extremes with a plan to put a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. The advantage of this unusual location is that the Moon would act as a massive shield, protecting the telescope against radio emissions from Earth. Astronomers could also listen to low radio frequencies that don't penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. Claudio Maccone, an astronomer at the Centre for Astrodynamics in Turin, Italy, is assessing the concept for the International Academy of Astronautics. He even has his eye on a plot of lunar real estate. A 100-kilometre-wide crater called Daedalus the Moon . Maccone is due to present the results of his study to the International Astronautical Congress next October. If the plans are approved, the first step will be to design a satellite probe to orbit the Moon and check there really is a quiet zone. Jupiter's giant light show SOMETHING strange is happening on Jupiter. Its magnetic field extends hundreds of times further out into space than previously thought, creating auroras that make the Earth's northern lights seem feeble in comparison. Jupiter is the giant of the Solar System, more than a thousand times as massive as Earth. In January 2001, the combined power of the Cassini and Galileo space probes, the Chandra X-ray telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope were all trained on the Jovian magnetosphere - the region controlled by the planet's magnetic field. Magnetic field lines fan out from a planet like the lines of iron filings from the poles of a bar magnet. Auroras are caused by ions zipping along these lines, so researchers can use the location of auroras to track how far out into space the planet's magnetic field lines can trap ions from the solar wind.

    Extractions: Euclid - Introductory Comments by Proclus Proclus's summary Thales, who had travelled to Egypt, was the first to introduce this science into Greece. He made many discoveries himself and taught the principles for many others to his successors, attacking some problems in a general way and others more empirically. Next after him Mamercus, brother of the poet Stesichorus, is remembered as having applied himself to the study of geometry; and Hippias of Elis records that he acquired a reputation in it. Following upon these men, Pythagoras transformed mathematical philosophy into a scheme of liberal education, surveying its principles from the highest downwards and investigating its theorems in an immaterial and intellectual manner. He it was who discovered the doctrine of proportionals and the structure of the cosmic figures. After him Anaxagoras of Clazomenae applied himself to many questions in geometry, and so did Oenopides of Chios, who was a little younger than Anaxagoras. Both these men are mentioned by Plato in the Erastae as having got a reputation in mathematics. Following them Hippocrates of Chios, who invented the method of squaring lunules, and Theodorus of Cyrene became eminent in geometry. For Hippocrates wrote a book on elements, the first of whom we have any record who did so.

    Extractions: [p. 114] It would not be easy to find a more lucid explanation of the terms element and elementary , and of the distinction between them, than is found in Proclus , who is doubtless, here as so often, quoting from Geminus. There are, says Proclus, in the whole of geometry certain leading theorems, bearing to those which follow the relation of a principle, all-pervading, and furnishing proofs of many properties. Such theorems are called by the name of elements ; and their function may be compared to that of the letters of the alphabet in relation to language, letters being indeed called by the same name in Greek (stoicheia). The term elementary , on the other hand, has a wider application: it is applicable to things “which extend to greater multiplicity, and, though possessing simplicity and elegance, have no longer the same dignity as the elements , because their investigation is not of general use in the whole of the science, e.g. the proposition that in triangles the perpendiculars from the angles to the transverse sides meet in a point.” “Again, the term
