What was Isaac Newton contribution to maths?

Isaac Newton used all types of math that existed at the time. And when he needed

to do a calculation that no existing type of math could do, he invented a new type.

(It's the one we call 'integral calculus' now.)

What modern inventions can be attributed to Isaac Newton?

Isaac Newton is credited with many scientific contributions that have led to modern inventions. Some of these include his laws of motion that helped advance transportation technologies, his development of calculus which is used in various fields of science and engineering, and his work in optics which has had implications in the design of modern optical devices such as cameras and telescopes.

Did Aristotle receive any awards?

Although he never received any honors or awards in his time, Aristotle did achieve fame through recognition of being such a well known philosopher.

Conclusion of Archimedes principle in lab?

The conclusion of the Archimedes principle is simply that the upward buoyant force that is experienced by a body immersed in a fluid, is equivalent to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. This allows the volume of an object to be measured by measuring the volume of liquid it displaces after submerging. For any immersed object, the volume of the submerged portions equals the volume of fluid it displaces.

How many cubic yards are in a sidewalk that's 48in wide by 40ft long by 3.5 in thick?

1 cubic foot = 1,728 cubic inches

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 46,656 cubic inches

1 ft = 12 inches

40 ft = 480 inches

Volume of the walk = (48" x 480" x 3.5") = 80,640 cubic inches = 1.7284 cubic yard (rounded)

What were Sir Isaac Newton's contributions?

Sir Isaac Newton did many things, but he had more knowledge in mathematics.

Some of his contributions were as follows:

  • Binomial theorem
  • ideas about the motions of planets
  • Newton's Principia of 1687, discussed laws of motion and gravity
  • He concluded "Light itself is a heterogeneous mixture of differently refrangible rays."
  • Made improvements to how well telescopes worked
  • major contributor to modern quantum theory
  • Many others...See the related link below

What is carl gauss number theory?

He is pretty much responsible for the theory of congruences.

Provided the conditions that a and b are integers and n is a positive integer, a and b, are said to be "congruent modulo n" if (a-b)/n is an integer.

Can vector method be used to calculate ship floating condition and stability?

In theory, yes. But in practice there are likely to be far too many variables to do the calculations in a meaningful way.

What contributions did Pythagoras make to the mathematics world?

The Pythagorean Theorem says that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two right angle sides will always be the same as the square of the hypotenuse if your not sure I'm probably wrong.kjyukkuyyku

^^ yeah that's right. the formula is A squared + B squared = C squared

What is 19.0 in centimeters?

There are 2.54 centimeters in one inch.

19.0 inches (2.54 centimeters/1 inch)

= 48.3 centimeters

How do you solve -3x plus 1 plus 4x plus 2-2x-14 plus 5x?

Start by putting like terms on each side, so the x values on one side and the numbers on the other side. The calcualte as appropriate to give one x value and one number value.

-3x + 1 + 4x + 2 -2 x - 14 + 5

x -3x + 4x - 2x + 5x + 1 + 2 - 14

4x - 11
