Preface and Arithmetic and Geometry philosophy of mathematics

Mathematics gives access to the part of philosophy including introduction, arithmetic, and geometry. In other words, mathematics concerns the way people perceive this physical world and hence essential to the physical world. The arithmetic is a philosophical part of mathematics that deal with the property and manipulation of numbers. For instance, in arithmetic, the sequence has the constant difference between the two consecutive terms, while in the geometry the sequence has a ratio between the terms.

This includes different complexes of mathematical problems or core problems that a mathematician should understand to acquire a broad competence in mathematics. For ...

Introduction

It is very rarely that a story could have an effect on the reader. This is why I am thankful that I encountered Wendy Mass’ “Every Soul a Star.” As I read though the story, I was able to relate to the experiences of the main characters. Being a young person I also meet challenges where I need to change. The story gives its readers important insights on how important and inevitable change is. In the story, three young people went through life changing experiences in a place called Moon Shadow Campground.

Discussion

Facts about the Earth

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is situated at the distance of about 93 million miles from the parental star. The Earth`s orbit is elliptical. The Sun, the Moon as well as all the stars rise in the East and set in the West due to the rotation of the Earth around its axis. The Sun and the Moon moving together create the eclipse, when the Moon stands between the Earth and the Sun we see a solar eclipse, at that moment the Moon passes in front of the Sun obscuring it. In the ...

The news article for this paper is an article about the recent solar eclipse that swept across Southeast Asia just this March 9th. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, and the moon fully or partially blocks out the sun. This happens during the new moon stage when the moon and the sun are in “conjunction” (Littman, Espenak and Wilcox, 2008). This most recent eclipse cut across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and began at about 6:19 am Indonesian time as the moon began to pass directly in front of the sun. ...

The belief by the Chinese that an eclipse emanated from dragons that devoured around the sun made the Lydian and Medes soldiers declare peace between their communities. The members of the two communities had an obligation to bang pots and drums in order to startle the dragons. The decision of the congressional leaders on to solve the crisis between the tribes left the citizens muddled. The men in power had to make a choice so that the community members could follow. The economy of the community was negatively affected by the crisis, which affected the Lydian and Medes community. Consequently, ...

Question 1

The vernal equinox occurs in March when the sun appears to be crossing the celestial equator. During this time, the sun is usually heading north. The autumnal equinox occurs in September when the sun crosses the equator as it moves towards the South Pole. On these days, the sun is directly over the equator. This results in equal durations of day and night.

The solstices occur when the earth is at its farthest distance from the sun. It occurs due to the elliptical shape of the earth’s orbit around the sun. This means that there are two solstices ...

Java’s popularity and portability have brought about detrimental attention from the cracking community (Websense 2) requiring research to plug loopholes. Different versions of Java Runtime Environments (JRE) are under attack. Despite efforts by Sun microsystems, and now, Oracle to patch the holes, vulnerabilities are still present albeit unpublished. The result is that Java based programs are increasingly targeted in systems running Windows operating systems (Oremus) Macintosh Systems with old versions of Java are also prone to attacks. Websense security Labs found that unpatched Java encourages exploits (3). The study targeted 900 million endpoints in their intelligence cloud. ...

The enlightenment refers to the sprawling of intellectual, social, philosophical, and cultural movement that spread through France, England, German, and other parts of Europe during the 1700s. Enlightenment thinkers advocated for self-autonomy in thinking, free of the limitations of traditional authority. The process of “modernity” traces its origin to this movement, as an heir, with seeds implanted in this period. Evidently, the process began with a vision of an autonomous free individual, but later contributed to the instrumental means-end thinking that has shaped modernity. The writers of the enlightenment mastered everything they regarded as worth learning, ranging from science to ...

Linear Air founder, Bill Herp, had many expectations from his customers once the company starts operating jets in an air-taxi business. The company faced competition from other airline companies such as Dayjet and Pogo Jet. In order to win the competition, Herp focused on value creation for both his suppliers and customers.

For suppliers

Herp aimed at getting suppliers who could manufacture Very Light Jets (VLJs) because these aircrafts had better price-to-performance characteristics and high engine technology.

The rock artists of Australia were drawing the dreamtime long before they had a word for art or long before the first Westerner arrived there. The dreamtime for the indigenous people of Australia is their story of creation. Their beliefs are reflected in the ancient paintings on rock. The aboriginal are believed to have occupied Australia for at least forty thousand or even maybe hundred thousand years, which makes them the “oldest continuous human culture on the planet” (Rock Art). Their art is a primitive history book and guide for living (Rock Art). Seasons played crucial role in their lives; that ...

Introduction Programming languages are classified into different categories such as in view of programming, compilation, purpose either general or specific, domain such as business, scientific or Artificial Intelligence, and in abstraction. They are grouped as low level, high level and very high level. This paper will look at comparison of object oriented and imperative programming languages. It will also discuss the uses of scripting languages and lastly discuss evolution and benefits of integrated development environments.

According to , in Object-oriented language, a programmer thinks of a program as a collection of interacting objects while in imperative language he thinks of a program as a ...

Book Review

The Fires of Jubilee provides a historical account of the events that took place in Virginia Southampton in the year 1931. The book mainly focuses on the violent events that are associated with the rebellion of the slaves. The book provides a loose accounts of events that occurred in Southampton Virginia and which led to bloody rebellion. Some of the statements made by the author of the book do not have evidence. Most of the accounts made by Oates is based on guesswork. It is prudent to note that the use of guesswork is very vibrant in the entire book. ...

No one has ever seen a black hole with their own eyes but everyone has heard about black holes. New technology for making telescopes has helped scientists learn more details about black holes but the principles of physics give us our basic understanding. When a massive star dies the type of black hole formed is a stellar black hole. The star caves in on itself when it dies forming a black hole. (Figure 1) When a star with a huge mass dies, part of the start explodes into space – that is a supernova. The area of a black hole is small because the dead star’s ...

Question:Why is it important to view the sun at many different wavelengths?

This is done so as to enable the viewer to clearly see the all the layers of the sun, ranging from the photosohere to the corona. Question:What types of light are best at detecting solar flares? What is the physical source of this form of light? Zodiacal light, used for detecting solar flares is roughly triangular, faint, dispersed white glow that is seen in the night sky, and extends up from the surrounding area of the Sun along the zodiac or the ecliptic. It is best seen before sunrise, after sunset, autumn and spring. The light decreases ...

The purpose of this project is to analyze the various ways that daylight interacts with our daily lives. It is true that daylight used to be much more important than it is today; for example, the main deity of the ancient Egyptians was the sun god, Ra. If the sun did not rise each day, no one would have been able to see, and there would have been no sunlight to help the crops grow – and to allow the people to survive. For this reason, eclipses were much more frightening to ancient peoples than they are in modern times, ...

The modern scientific method dates all the way back to the days of Isaac Newton who, ironically, only went to university because his parents thought he was too poor of a farmer to make anything of himself – so they sent him to read theology (Weisstein, 2011). The climate of research and inquiry produced one of the most transformational minds in all of the history of science. In addition to his laws of motion, he also developed the basis of a scientific method that still guides research and experimentation done in the present day.

Newton’s scientific method boiled down to four ...

Introduction

Taxicab geometry is a better idealized model for urban geography as compared to Euclidean geometry. This is very applicable in urban planning where distances within the roads are divided within rigid blocks and the shortest distance cannot be the hypotenuse. This is very helpful in establishing the shortest distance between any two points. ( Surhome, Timpledon & Susan). Geometry can be traced back over 2000 years. This is solely refers to Euclidean geometry introduced by Euclid. A German mathematician Hermann Miknowski proposed taxicab geometry. He had the proposition that distances in taxicab geometry is different than in Euclidean geometry. His ...
