...Topic: What begins people’s discovery of science? Thesis: “Hypotheses non fingo,” Newton confidently claimed. Therefore, he arbitrarily excluded the “hypothesis” from the experimental philosophy. Affected by him, more and more remarks neglected the importance of the “hypotheses” since then. As a result, it becomes a common view that discovery should proceed from analytic methods stricto sensu. Then, what is the real definition of hypothesis in Newton’s opinion ? Will he believe in intuition? Therefore, I will try to explain the definition of both “hypothesis” and “intuition”, and then attach significance to the “intuition” to show how the intuition begins a new discovery of science and struggle to prove that sometimes, the intuition can be a quite strong power to lead us to reach our confirmations. Outline: 1. The moment when I realize the importance of the intuition (Faraday) 2. The definition of hypothesis and intuition 3. The supporter- Einstein (using his examples as detailed ones) 4. The other famous successful discoveries in four different fields: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography (describing the main story of each example) 5. How should we treat the intuition? What should we do after the intuition? 6. The conclusion includes 1) The importance of the intuition, 2) The significant role it has acted in the history of science, 3) Its efficiency of finding a certain answer, 4) An interesting analogy to show the role of intuition Body: ...

...Creativity is the capability or act of conceiving something original or unusual. Innovation is the implementation of something new. Invention is the creation of something that has never been made before and is recognized as the product of some unique insight. Discovery Previously unknown, yet objectively extant objects or properties of objects in the material world are discovered INNOVATION:- Innovation is the introduction of something new something that deviates from established doctrine and practice. The act of creation, of making something new, is only the first step in a long path to historical change in materials and culture. What makes something innovative is not just that it is new, but that it takes root in some way, making changes in established cultures, doctrines, and practices, leading to historical significance. The theme of innovation is one that requires depth of thinking, it is about examining ideas, methods, and inventions, and not merely about events and individuals. We are expected to look at the need for change, how that change came about, the methods that were used to convince the public that it was necessary, and the impact it made. INVENTION Invention can be an aspect of innovation and, in fact, is often the first step in innovation. However, the crucial difference occurs between the relatively discrete creative act of invention and the far longer process of innovation. Innovation involves the process of convincing people to change their...

...Running Head: CREATIVITY AND SCHOOL MATHEMATICS Mathematical Creativity Among School Children Gulsun KUGU Creativity Literature Review As a broad meaning, the concept of creativity has been expressed in not only social sciences such as literature, art and music, and but also physical sciences such as mathematics, computer sciences, biology and chemistry. Creativity catches scholars` attention so that they certainly define the notion of creativity and there are a variety of interpretations. Because of differences of definitions and characteristics of creativity, it is challenge to define creativity. According to Poincaré, creative acts occurred not in the process of doing unless combinations but in the period of useful combinations and small minority (Sriraman, 2004). Creativity also plays vital roles in mathematics. Lack of the definition of mathematical creativity has encouraged many of scholars in order to define it. To identify creative acts and creative potential is a challenge (Mann, 2009). Most of researches on the identification of creativity in mathematics focalize to make the development measuring creativity and to create instruments for such measurements. Current instruments made the measurement and exploring relationship between mathematical creativity and mathematical achievement, attitude towards mathematics, self-perception of creative ability, gender, and teacher perception of mathematical talent and creative ability. Because of that many...

...Pluto’s Plight It all began in 1930 when Clyde Tombaugh discovered number nine (Cowen, par. 5). The definition of a planet before the IAU, International Aeronautical Union, conference in 2006, was, "a cloud of dust and gas that, at a high enough temperature is able to fuse hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei inside its core” (Long, par. 8). Essentially, this means planets are capable of living a full life course: forming by burning to dying by burning. As Pluto aged, it could not withstand the test of time due to the technological advances in the scientific world. In the 1930s, technology was limited. We invented refrigerators, radios, and washing machines in the ‘20s. It was unheard of in the 30’s to have technology that could decipher Pluto’s...

...[4][5][6] There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition of mathematics.[7][8] Mathematicians seek out patterns[9][10] and use them to formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. When mathematical structures are good models of real phenomena, then mathematical reasoning can provide insight or predictions about nature. Through the use of abstraction and logic, mathematics developed from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has been a human activity for as far back as written records exist. The research required to solve mathematical problems can take years or even centuries of sustained inquiry. Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Since the pioneering work of Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932), David Hilbert (1862–1943), and others on axiomatic systems in the late 19th century, it has become customary to view mathematical research as establishing truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. Mathematics developed at a relatively slow pace until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations interacting with new scientific discoveries led to a rapid increase in the rate of mathematical discovery that has continued to the present day.[11] Galileo Galilei...

...following that the mine has undergone a tremendous change ; it has been expanded twice , there is an increase in throughput by more than 100 % and also discovered five new deposits. The Mine is basically an open pit mining operation with conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation to produce copper concentrates with significant gold and silver credits. In December 2007, pre-feasibility study for the expansion of the copper-gold mine was done. The study benefited because it laid out a path for significant increase in copper production and also increased mineral reserves, enhancing project economics. The basic steps done in mining while handling the project are: Mineral Exploration The first role of engineering in mines is the discovery of a mineral deposit and the determination of the profitability of a mine. The Minto mine plan focused on accessing and milling the high grade ore in Minto deposits. When the exploration was done , MintoEx commissioned a gravity gold recovery plant to recover the free gold that was present in grinding circuit. In order to assess the possible opportunity of large scale open...

...answering this ongoing question itself. Who know what’s the right answer of correct value of pie (3.14) One can agree easily on the fact that it was the pursuit of correct answer and a perfect one not to mention which made us just not be content on having candles for lighting purposes but discover electricity. The definition of research, is “a detailed study of a subject, especially in order to discover (new) information or reach a (new) understanding.” ( www.webs.uidaho.edu) The definition itself says a new answer providing new set of knowledge, certainly not the ;ast answer which may not allow further research. Research is an continuous fire which is fueled by man’s desire of perfect solution. Since we human are subject to flaws, that trait of ours is also reflected in our work as well. It is a process of searching again and again till the right answer is found. Earlier it was believed that the earth is oval. It was a continuous voyage of discovery and experiments which proved it wrong after decades. The main objective of research is not to find the last answer but to find out the facts which are concealed and not known to us as of now. Every discovery or invention that we see or use in today’s world is a result of an ongoing research which continued for a long time and then ended up in providing us a better solution. Had we believed that the models of vehicles available in 1920s were the best our scientists could do, would these fast-paced miracles running on the...

...HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A GOOD RESEARCH TOPIC? GIVE 5 EXAMPLES OF A GOOD RESEARCH TOPIC AND JUSTIFY WHY YOU CHOOSE THEM, I.E. PROBLEM ISSUES IN EACH TOPIC AND WHY THEY MUST BE RESEARCHED UPON. (NOT LESS THAN 2000 WORDS). WHAT IS RESEARCH? Research has been defined by different people in different ways. At any point in time, depending on what an individual is doing in relation to a particular topic or subject area of study, there is the tendency that one may deem that activity as a form of research. Research therefore cuts across all facets of human endeavour; in the sciences, humanities, electronics etc. These diversities create room for one to distinguish between what scientific research is and what a normal review of information is. “In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge”. MartynShuttleworth (2008). Research involves gathering of information and the examination of all the pieces of information gathered. The central goal of a good research is to come out with findings that add to the body of knowledge and available literature in that area of study. Martyn further explained that “reading a factual book of any sort is a kind of research. Surfing the internet or watching the news is also a type of research.” However, defining research this way tends to present a narrow view of research and does not convey in detail what scientific research is about. “Science...

...Issues and Discovery Requests April 13, 2016 Introduction I going to research the FRCP (Federal Rules for Civil Procedures) and e-discovery as they pertain to email. I will also describe the rules governing the situation. I will also discuss how the rules specifically do or do not apply to the situation and make a recommendation of how the company should respond to the discovery request. I will then wrap it up with an overview of the IT field in the state of Virginia. IT position, companies, summary of jobs, education requirements and pay salaries. Rules governing the situation FRCP governs the collection of electronic stored documents, including email as evidence in a civil suits. All business needs to retain a data retention policy for relevant emails, electronically stored information (ESI), network logs and other virtually stored documents (Intradyn, 2016). The e-discovery amendments for FRCP cover five related areas (Gates, 2016). A. Definition of discoverable material – to acknowledge that electronically stored information is discoverable, this is meant to include any type of information that can be stored electronically (Gates, 2016). B. Early attention to issues relating to electronic discovery, including the format of production - it means that parties to address electronically stored information early in the discovery process, recognizing that such early attention is crucial in order to control the scope and expense of electronic discovery, and avoid...

...creativity. For example, the discovery of penicillin is formulation of the concept of relativity, creation of television, Tagore's work Gitanjali and the link are acts of creativity. The definition of creativity stated that something that is created should be novel and of some value. Novel means the unusual nature of the thing that is created whether it is penicillin, the concept of relativity or Gitanjali. The emphasis is on the production of something new. Equally important is the value which means that products of creativity should be of some value to human beings. Creativity can bring forth new products and procedures, remedy conflict and even create opportunity where none exists. Thus, creativity is and always be the most valuable asset. In general, every person is creative to a certain extent. However, everyone does not have the same ability to come up with better ideas provided by a more economical use of time. It is fine to have the ability to count on our creative subconscious for an occasional idea or solution. But to develop spontaneous creativity, we need to do away with assumptions, boundaries and unspoken rules, which are taken for granted. Often, finding a creative solution to a problem requires a creative look at the definition of the problem in hand. Hence, we need to look and think of the problem in different ways and from different angles before we start preparing a list of the different ways of dealing with it. For instance, the discovery of penicillin, formulation...
