Extractions: Mathematics It is in mathematics that Russia and the Soviet Union have made the greatest contributions. Today the Soviet Union is a world power in mathematics. Indeed, Moscow probably has the greatest concentration of talent of any city. The main competitor is no doubt Paris, since mathematicians in the United States, another leader in mathematics in the last generation, are more widely distributed geographically. Unfortunately, the importance of the history of Russian and Soviet mathematics is poorly reflected in English-language sources. Not even Lobachevskii, the creator of non-Euclidean geometry, is the subject of a full biography in English. V.F. KaganÕs N. Lobachevsky and His Contribution to Science (Moscow: Foreign Languages Publishing House, 1957) is perhaps the source most often cited, but it is clearly inadequate. Alexander Vucinich has explored some of the nontechnical aspects of Lobachevskii's life in his "Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevskii: The Man Behind the First Non-Euclidean Geometry," Isis , 1962, 53:465-481. The best source on the circumstances of the creation of Lobachevskii geometry is a senior thesis by Gregory Crowe, "The Life and Work of Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky: A Study of the Factors Leading to the Discovery and Acceptance of the First Non-Euclidean Geometry" (Harvard Univ., 1986).

Henry Hudson Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1879. He died in Princeton, New Jersey as an American citizen on April 18, 1955. He was a scientist who is most well known for his theory of relativity. He was born to non-practicing Jews who owned a family business. Due to the failure of the business his family moved to Milan, Italy in 1894. He failed an exam that would have allowed him to study to be an electrical engineer and went on to study physics at a secondary school. He graduated in 1900 as a secondary school teacher of math and physics. His next job was in a Swiss patent office though in his spare time he wrote papers about theoretical physics. One such paper gave him his doctorate in 1905.

Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky "Detest it as lewd intercourse, it can deprive you of all your leisure, your health, your rest, and the whole happiness of your life. " "In geometry I find certain imperfections which I hold to be the reason why this science, apart from transition into analytics, can as yet make no advance from that state in which it came to us from Euclid. As belonging to these imperfections, I consider the obscurity in the fundamental concepts of the geometrical magnitudes and in the manner and method of representing the measuring of these magnitudes, and finally the momentous gap in the theory of parallels, to fill which all efforts of mathematicians have so

Trigonometry Analysis , branch of mathematics that uses the concepts and methods of the calculus. It includes basic calculus; advanced calculus, in which such underlying concepts as that of a limit are subjected to rigorous examination; differential and integral equations, in which the unknowns are functions rather than numbers; vector and tensor analysis; differential geometry; and many other fields. Calculus , branch of mathematics that studies continuously changing quantities. It was developed in the 17th cent. independently by Sir Isaac Newton and G.W. Leibniz. The calculus is characterized by the use of infinite processes, involving passage to a limit.

Extractions: "There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to the phenomena of the real world." Nikolai Lobachevsky Math is a tool. People use math every dayit is figuring out how much of your paycheck you can spend, managing time in your day, or else figuring out how much gas to put in your car. Math invades our lives, and it is important to use it as a way to get something done. The applications of math, as Nikolai Lobachevsky suggested above, can be seen nearly everywhere. Many times people will ask 'when am I ever going to use this in the real world?' The teaching of mathematics, in my opinion, should strive to answer this question. Not only should math be applicable, it should also serve to teach problem solving. Since math is really a tool, using a tool seems to make sense when it comes to solving problems. Math teaches us how, when, why, and where to use the right tool. Below I have linked samples of my work, as well as related thoughts and ideas.

Extractions: Homepage Members Research Publications ... Gallery Ever since the birth of science, mathematics and physics have gone hand in hand. Pythagoras of Samos Aristotle Zeno of Elea Euclid of Alexandria ... Archimedes of Syracuse , to name some of the great Greek scientists, were mathematicians as well as physicists and addressed fundamental questions. Some of these problems are still or again actual ( e.g. Zeno's paradox in quantum mechanics). When modern science started in the 17th century, mathematics and physics kept influencing each other fundamentally. Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz , both studying classical mechanics, and later Augustin Louis Cauchy , working on continuum mechanics, developed classical differential and integral calculus. The concepts of 'continuity', 'differentiability', and 'integrability' were only formalized by the end of the 19th century, after they had been used for a long time in a fertile way in classical physics. Carl Friedrich Gauss Janos Bolyai Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky en Georg Friedrich Riemann formulated non-Euclidean geometry and Albert Einstein used it to develop general relativity theory during the first quarter of the 20th century.
