M.C. Escher explored and displayed a wide range of mathematical ideas. While in school Escher’s family had the hope of him fallowing in his fathers footsteps of architecture. Escher did not do well in school but he did have the talent for drawing and design. Maurits Cornelis Escher studied at the Architecture and Decorative Arts located in Haarlem, Netherlands. From here he was able to develop an interest in graphics and worked in woodcut. He spent many years traveling throughout Europe sketching

Karl Gordon seems like a regular person from Baltimore, Maryland until you figure out he works with NASA, or National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He works at an astronomy research facility. As a leader, he mentors and teaches students about astronomy and NASA. But he does more than that. He interacts with other astronomers and astrophysicists throughout the world. Karl Gordon loves the position as a teacher and mentor because of this; because he gets to interact with other people with similar

Born during 570 BC on an island shaped as a peninsula called Samos, Pythagoras, the most well-known philosopher/ mathematician now in days, grew up with a wealthy family which provided him with an education. While growing, Pythagoras had many tutors and sophists that lead him to the path in which he took of math. At the age of 18, Pythagoras meets and got influenced extraordinary by a master of math and astronomy called Thales. Since back then, all the variety of science and math that we now have

For this observation, I observed an eighth grade algebra one classroom taught by Ms. Konopinski. This classroom runs with the hybrid system since the middle school has adopted this system. When the students come in the classroom they pick up a daily agenda and start working on their warm up, which consists of about ten questions. The students are given about seven minutes to complete the warm-up then Ms. Konopinski went over the problems using the elmo to display the worksheet and work on the board

The first step that I did to determine the values of cosine, tangent, and sine was to sketch a right triangle that has the vertical length of three and has the horizontal base length of two. The second step that I did to determine the values of cosine, tangent, and sine was to utilize the pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse which looks like this square root(2^2 + 3^2) = square root(13). The third step that I did to determine the values of cosine, tangent, and sine was to

The ceramic vessel Late Ramos Polychrome (1350) represents snakes and celestial objects on a mid-sized ceramic vessel. The curve rises gently until it completes three fourths of a circle before stopping. The line of the vessel then expands outward to enclose the mouth of the pot with a small lip. The work has wear around the lip and middle. Here, the white and red have worn away into black. The damage seems to be from use and handling due to the position and scattered nature of the deterioration

The reason why the name is called tilted towers is because it is on a game called fortnite. It is one of the major cities on there and i thought it would be cool to make the ride go through one of the towers. But anyways how the ride works is you start at the base so on the ground. The starting point of the rollercoaster has to deal with the word friction. Friction is the force that opposes motion between two objects. Also on the ride there is acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity

If you are planning to be an optometrist, in high school you should take plenty of math and science classes. For example, courses in biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, and some AP classes as well. 2. In high school, it is key to build communication skills in English, drama, and speech classes. 3. It is also smart to learn a foreign language so you can communicate with patients that know different languages. For example, Spanish is a common second language to take. 4. It is

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." Sir Isaac Newton was a physicist and mathematician who is well known for his many contributions to the scientific community. He is seen as one of the prominent scientists of all time and played a huge role in the

The University of Central Florida campus celebrated science on Friday as students from kindergarten through 12th grade crowded around exhibit tables, launched bottle rockets, played with robots and made their own slime. Around 1,400 students and their teachers came to UCF to learn about science, technology, engineering and math for STEM Day, according to Renee Sackett, the event’s coordinator. The goal, she said, was to get kids excited about STEM and inspire them to pursue careers in STEM fields
