Essays on Geometry

The composer I have chosen to write this paper on is American Roger Zare. Roger is a composer from Florida who started composing at the age of 14. He learned multiple instruments at a young age including the piano and the violin. Roger has written solo, chamber, choral and full orchestra works. He has earned numerous honors including being the winner of the 5th annual Trio Anima Mundi Composition Prize. The work I chose to listen to is “Geometries” written in 2010 by Zare. The instruments that are included in the production of this are the clarinet, violin, cello

The term ‘technical drawing’ in the field of engineering, also referred to as ‘engineering drawing’ mainly relates to the different dimensional views of an object from an engineering perspective. There are two types of dimensional object planes – 2-D projection and 3-D projections. 3-D projections provide three views of one object, where in 2-D lines are perpendicularly extended to a point where there is to be a projection. This type of three dimensional projection of an object is known as orthographical projection. This type of technical drawing done using orthographic projection was also known as an ‘outside the box’ approach,

Looking up to the sky has been one of the most important activities of humans. Early civilizations are finding answers to their theological principles in the stars while others look guidance as they travel (Rosenburg & Russo, np). Astronomy is a vital part for the foundation of the religious beliefs and concepts of most of the early civilization. They view astronomy as a tool or as a backbone to their religious, social and cultural beliefs (Sprajc 87). Curiosity and hunger for knowledge have been the fuel for mankind to search answers in space. The significance of astronomy to life could

Euclidean geometry is an important sub-discipline of mathematics, as it covers all scopes encompassing distance and theories justified by accurate calculations. Taxicab geometry has become an important sub-discipline of geometry as it applies an extensive and an analytic approach of determining distance between two different points. Many elements of mathematics are present in computer science, such as the principles of basic operations, and selection of numbers – which are present in technologies that made an influence in every facet of human life. In the simple program compiled, a user could choose from the three following options: (1) to begin a

Philosophy

The Renaissance period found a good deal of interest in the physical world (Weckowicz 53). In 1510, Leonardo da Vinci developed several theories on the nature of the universe. In 1528, Jean Fernal, the French physician, calculated the size of the Earth. Nicolas Copernicus, a highly qualified Pole, observed motions of heavenly bodies, though he was not a practical astronomer. He found that heliocentric theory was more practical; Earth is actually rotating in an orbit around the sun. He retained many concepts of older theories such as spherical and finite universe, and perfectly circular shape of heavenly bodies.

Wolfram Alpha is modern powerful search engines that caters various fields of studies launched in May 2009. The design of these engines initially concentrates on formula and algorithm growth in Mathematics as a result of extensive and sustained data gathering conducted by the team .
In the field of mathematics, it provides supports on specific categories of topics such as mathematical functions, algebra, computational sciences, probability and statistics, calculus and analysis, geometry as well as discrete mathematics. Beyond the common mathematical functions, the team of Wolfram recently added Bessel functions, zeta functions, gamma

1.0 Introduction
Many sports played across the world that involves throwing, hitting and kicking are done so using a ball. However, many parameters such as humidity, materials of manufacture of the ball, size of the ball, etc. control the movement of the ball in air. Research on golf balls and tennis balls reveal their aerodynamic properties and the various parameters affecting their flight. The effect of seams on a baseball on the flight has been evaluated along with the relationship between rotation and lateral forces (Watts & Sawyer 1987). Similar studies have also been conducted on cricket balls, rugby balls,

Introduction
Euclid (near 365 - 300 BC) is a Greek mathematician, lived in Alexandria, in the 3rd BC. The main work "Elements" (15 books), containing the basics of ancient mathematics, elementary geometry, number theory, the general theory of relations and the method of determining areas and volumes, which included elements of the theory of limits, has had an enormous influence on the development of mathematics. He worked on astronomy, optics, music theory.
Information about the time and place of his birth did not reach us, but we know that Euclid lived

Introduction.

Current generates magnetic field β of which its direction and magnitude highly depends on the geometry of the coil in which charge flows through. Coils can have different geometric shapes; circular, torus and two circular coils with current flowing in either the same or opposite direction. In such different coil geometry therefore, the magnetic field β can be determined using Ampere’s and Biot-Savart Laws’.

Instruments/apparatus.

- Bar magnet.
- Insulated copper wire Circular and toroidal coil
- Cardboard tube.
- Galvanometer.

Procedure and Observation.

- The insulated copper wire was wrapped around the cardboard tube to form a single circular coil and then connected

Blaise Pascal is one of the famous French mathematicians known all through the world. He is also recognized for his work in physics, inventions, writing and Christian philosophy. He was born Clermont-Ferrand in France on 19th June, 1623. His mother died when he was only three years old. He had two siblings Jacqueline and Gilberte who he was exceptionally close to them. He was a child prodigy and was educated by his father who was a tax collector and a local judge. His father was a talented mathematician.
Etienne with his family moved to Paris in 1631. Pascal was

Introduction:

Geometry is a lot more than proofs, formulas and calculations that fill up the text books. It is used every day by the engineers and scientists, who are responsible for the beautifully structured world around us. But geometry is not limited to science only; it’s an art, being used in simpler and fun ways. People playing pool bring geometry in use in many ways without even realizing the fact that they are playing with mathematics.

Christine Cam, writes in an article ‘How to use Geometry in Billiards’;

“Geometry and physics are essential parts of the game of billiards. Every shot in a pool game is based on forming perfect angles.”

Introduction Marcello (2002) define Stonehenge as a prehistoric monument found in the UK and its one of the most famous sites in the entire world. Stonehenge of Geometry has been very crucial in helping discover various Mathematical truths. Its design shows the elegant and symbolism of numbers and geometry. Several years back surveyors and engineers understood and used this mathematical concept in construction of houses. Many of the Neolithic ancestors used the knowledge of geometry in building Stonehenge. This is to mean that the mathematics which was used by that time in building showed much of the geometrical form
