Mathematicians
Often, to completely understand the importance of a mathematical theory, it's essential to know about the person who developed it. This category is where all questions about historically significant mathematicians should be asked.

How did Jon Von Neumann originally make the computer?
he didn't
well according to section 5 article 3 Jon von neumann started off as anyother man would and he started with the motherboard. he then got a group of Harvard scholars to help build the rest of the computer.
John von Neumann was first introduced to computers when he was working on the Manhattan project and was given access to the electromechanical Harvard Mark I to solve a difficult system of partial differential equations related to part of the MK-3 Fatman design. Shortly after the end of WW2, while it was still secret, he was given access to ENIAC and assisted in programming it to simulate Edward Teller's "Classical Super" hydrogen fusion bomb design (this program ran through December 1945 and January 1946, showing that design to be unworkable). He wrote the first paper on computers that stored both program and data in the same memory (although the ideas originated from others). On return to Princeton, he designed his own computer the IAS machine (no motherboard, the idea did not exist then) which was supposed to have 4K 40-bit words of RCA Selectron vacuum tube memory. RCA was unable to build the 4K Selectron tubes he wanted, so the machine first ran with 256 40-bit words of RCA Selectron memory. It was soon upgraded to 1K 40-bit words of Williams tube CRT DRAM, then in about 1954 to 4K 40-bit words of ferrite core magnetic memory. The IAS machine was one of the most copied early computers, as he gave copies of its specifications, documentation, and schematics to anyone that asked. IBM even based their first scientific computer the IBM 701 loosely on the IAS machine, except they reduced the word size from 40-bits to 36-bits.
What is the order of Runge-Kutta method in a modified Euler's method?
Typical application of Runge-Kutta is a fourth order method. See related link.
What was the contribution of sri dharacharya in the field of mathematics?
Shridhar Acharya's formula is a popular root finding formula in mathematics.
If an equation can be represented as follows:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0,
then the roots will be x = (-b + -(b^2 - 4ac)^1/2)/2a
If you have an nvq 4 what do you need to get a degree?
An NVQ level 4 is seen as the equivalent of a HND in most institutions. You would be able to gain access to the third year of a degree course with your NVQ 4. I have an NVQ 4 in Management and was able to attend college part time and gained my degree in 12 months. I suggest you chat with your chosen institution. hope this helped a little.

Biography
Giovanni Gabrieli is an important transitional figure between the Renaissance and Baroque eras and their associated musical styles. The distinctive sound of his music derived in part from his association with St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, long one of the most important churches in Europe, and for which he wrote both vocal and instrumental works. Through his compositions and his work with several significant pupils, Gabrieli substantially influenced the development of music in the seventeenth century.

How to prove the de morgans law for logic?
The easiest way would be to find each form logically equivalent with truth tables.
What are reasons of using the disivility rules?
You can always check on the divisibility of a number by dividing it into another number. But if you know the divisibility rules, you can get that information easier and faster.
What are the advantages of the Euler's modified method over Euler's method?
The advantage of the modified method is the improved accuracy - the error is of order h3 as opposed to h2, where h is the step size. Since the step size is required to be small for the methods to give fair approximations (h<<1), the error is less on the modified method.
What did Lulu hofman bechtolsheim study?
Lulu Hofmann Bechtolsheim was one of only 110 U.S. women to have earned the Ph.D. in mathematics before 1930 and she was one of the 228 women profiled in Judy Green's and Jeanne LaDuke's 2009 history, Pioneering Women in American Mathematics: The Pre-1940 PhD's. Born May 27 (=33, as she was fond of pointing out), 1902, in New York City to German parents, Lulu Hofmann grew up in Frankfurt, Germany, with her older sister Emy, also born in New York, and her younger sister Ilse, born in Frankfurt. Her father, Otto Hofmann, was a banker and her mother, Clara Olshauson Hofmann, a homemaker from a "long line of academicians," according to Lulu's niece, Marie-Gabriele Lindenborn, who also reported that Otto and Clara Hofmann encouraged their daughters to pursue higher education and careers.
Maria Agnesi was an Italian linguist, mathematician, and philosopher.Agnesi is credited with writing the first book discussing both differential and integral calculus.She was an honorary member of the faculty at the University of Bologna. According to Dirk Jan Struik, Agnesi is "the first important woman mathematician since Hypatia(fifth century A.D.)".
