Sección 6 ID: 150141 Me gusto comprender y entender los orígenes de las matemáticas y porque tiene cierta semejanza con la poesía, ya que se necesita analizarlas, comprenderlas, profundizarlas y admirarlas para comprender su lenguaje. El lenguaje matemático tiene su toque de belleza y así como el autor nos lleva de la mano lo hace de una forma amena, mostrándonos la importancia de las matemáticas en nuestra vida, desde el inicio que se crearon por la necesidad de la humanidad a tener un “idioma”

Galileo is considered to be one of the most prized people of the Italian Renaissance. As a scientist and astronomer, he was very accomplished. The best words to describe him would be hard working, confident, forth right in his beliefs and determined. I wish I was like him! He built a telescope and supported the Copernican theory that the sun was the center of the universe. The church denied his theories and accused him of heresy two times. In modern day, Galileo's theories have been proven

History is a blank sheet of paper, authored by whoever took the pen first. Look at Galileo Galilei for an instance. For hundreds of years, he was thought to be the first to find the groundbreaking fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Sorry Nicholas Copernicus, but Galileo grabbed the pen first. History is also altered by winners. Why did America get involved in World War 2? Because Japan sneak attacked Pearl Harbor of course. After World War 1, Japan was promoted to become an influential
