What was the relationship between Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei?
Galileo was born 19 years after Copernicus died.
What is Galois Evariste Marital and family Status?
Galois was not married. He admitted to not liking women but later was killed in a duel over one. His father commited suicide when he was 17. He had one brother and a sister both who survived past him. His mother homeschooled him until he was 12 and also survived past his death.
Discuss Rene Descartes' metaphysical dualism as opposed to both monism and pluralism?
Descartes' dualism stated that the mind and body were distinct and occupied different planes of reality. A monism theory of reality believes that there is only one reality, and would state that the mind and body are connected. Pluralism believes that there are many realities, not just two, so the mind and body might be distinct, but there would also be other planes of reality.
What is the father name of Smriti Malhotra Irani?

What is the difference between dividing a decimal number by a whole number?
Eradicate the decimal point because 5.25/5 is the same as 525/500 and 0.9/3 is the same as 9/30
What did Archimedes discover when he stepped into his bath?
The water overflowed when Archimedes jumped in and he knew that there is a relationship between his weight and the volume of the water
Euclid compiled the book 'Elements' which has been used to teach the basics of geometry for more than 2,000 years.
Did Euclid developers plane geometry?
No. Plane geometry was well known before him. He put together the information in an axiomatic form using only a minimal number of axioms and strict rules for deduction.
What did Archimedes discover about the centroid of a triangle?
Archimedes showed that the point where the medians are concurrent is the center of gravity of a triangular shape of uniform thickness and density.
What are the 4 kinetic molecular theory?
1. Gases
2.Particles in motion
3.
4. Particle Energy
Sorry but these are the right ones just have not found number 3.
What inspired Charles Babbage?
In Babbage's time, complex mathematic calculations were tedious and subject to frequent human error. His designs were born of a need to make solving these problems easier and more error-free.
Who are considered as fathers of modern mathematics?
In no order, and not including the Greek and Arabic classical mathematicians: Abel
Gauss
Euler
Descartes
Riemann
Leibniz
Newton
Turing
How did Greek astronomers discover trigonometry?
According to Math experts, Hipparchus, Menelaus, and Ptolemy are responsible for developing Greek trigonometry for the purposes of studying differences in shapes of the planets, sun and moon. By observing the shapes of each, they were able to determine the ratios and areas of each one.
What did newton discover in 1684?
He discovered that the exponential range divide by the quatum physics of a bioshpere would equal that of a ginkosphere divide by the square root of pi. But that was only true if the radius of the two sides of a triangle was squared to equal 1. Which I have been conducting experiments to prove this and it has been adequet so far.
What is the name of first mathematician?
The very first mathematicians are not recorded. Geometric patterns have been found from 70,000 years ago, and prime numbers go back at least 20,000 years.
Ahmose was an Egyptian scribe who presented the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus around 1650 BC.
What did René Descartes invent?
Rene Descartes was an inventor but far from that he was a philosopher. He devised the theory Cogito Ergo Sum which translates from Latin into English as I think, therefore I am. This statement which he himself conjured up and is his most notable achievement has been designated to proving certainty. Descartes believes that through skepticism certainty can be produced. He states that nothing in the universe can be proven beyond doubt; however he also states that doubt is none other than thought and that thought is none other than the mind. SO therefore the only thing that can be proven beyond doubt is the mind. Along with this he came up with the notion that if we as imperfect beings were created by some outside force, then that outside force has to be designed as a perfect entity. Thus it was the perfectibility of an outside force-namely God- that placed this imperfect knowledge within us. He is considered the father of modern philosophy mainly because he was the first individual who indicated that certainty exists in our world. He contributed in the area of optics as well as physics. He created the Cartesian coordinate system(which is still in use today); he founded analytical geometry alongside a colleague of his. He was one of the earliest dualists, indivudals who believed mind was separate from matter. He influenced future scholars and philosophers such as Kant, Locke, and Hobbes. Overall he was an overachiever, a brilliant mind, who brought many things to the world during the time of the enlightenment.
René Descartes was a French philosopher, mathematician, and writer who spent most of his adult life in the Dutch Republic. He has been dubbed the 'Father of Modern Philosophy', and much subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his writings, which are studied closely to this day. In particular, his Meditations on First Philosophy continues to be a standard text at most university philosophy departments. Descartes' influence in mathematics is equally apparent; the Cartesian coordinate system - allowing algebraic equations to be expressed as geometric shapes, in a 2D coordinate system - was named after him. He is credited as the father of analytical geometry, the bridge between algebra and geometry, crucial to the discovery of infinitesimal calculus and analysis. Descartes was also one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution.
