Differential calculus is a branch of calculus that studies the rate at which quantities change. The other branch is integral calculus. There are several practical applications of differential calculus the most common being plotting graphs of some formulae and functions. The directions in which a graph will take at a specific point or the shape…

Leonardo Pisano I researched a scientist or rather a mathematician that made contributions to his discipline such that they have affected a majority of the people that have lived on this earth since his time. His name is Leonardo Pisano. It is hypothesized that Leonardo was born in the town of Pisa which is in…

A man named Leonardo Pisano, who was known by his nickname, “Fibonacci”, and named the series after himself, first discovered the Fibonacci sequence around 1200 A.D. The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each term is the sum of the 2 numbers preceding it. The first 10 Fibonacci numbers are: (1, 1, 2, 3,…

The Fibonacci numbers were first discovered by a man named Leonardo Pisano. He was known by his nickname, Fibonacci. The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each term is the sum of the 2 numbers preceding it. The first 10 Fibonacci numbers are: (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89)….

In Janets final project, one of her ideas utilizes a correlational design. In a correlational design, there is research involved. These researches usually involve using observational, archival, or survey methods to test a hypothesis. There is at least two variables being looked at in a correlational design, and these variables are rarely manipulated. Instead, the…

Pythagorean Theorm The Pythagorean Theorem is a geometrical expression used often in math and physics. It used to 2 2 2 find the unknown side of a right triangle. The exponential form of this theorem a + b = c . That is the equation you use when you are looking for the unknown side…

Normally magnesium is covered with a layer of oxide, MgO, that protects magnesium from air and water. Magnesium is an important element for plant and animal life. Chlorophylls depend greatly on it.Sir Humphrey Davy discovered magnesium in 1775 at England. It was dicovered when he evaporated magnesium amalgam by mixing a moist magnesia and mercuric…

Euclid is one of the most influential and best read mathematician of all time. His prize work, Elements, was the textbook of elementary geometry and logic up to the early twentieth century. For his work in the field, he is known as the father of geometry and is considered one of the great Greek mathematicians….

Bellman-Ford Algorithm The Bellman–Ford algorithm is an algorithm that computes shortest paths from a single source vertex to all of the other vertices in a weighted digraph.. It is slower than Dijkstra’s algorithm for the same problem, but more versatile, as it is capable of handling graphs in which some of the edge weights are…

I have always wanted to pursue a career in maths as I find it very interesting and enjoyable. It is a subject I feel very passionate about, and have no doubt on picking as a degree as I desire to continue and broader my understanding in maths. Being able to manipulate numbers to solve questions, and…
