Jobs that use geometry in them?
~Architect ~Carpenter ~Engineer ~Artist ~Math Teacher ~Woodworking ~Furniture Design ~Landscaper ~Interior Designer ~Stage Crew/Set Design .Fashion Desginer (For a Theatre Performance or something) There are plenty of jobs/careers that use geometry in them if you want it to use geometry in it! These are just a small hand full.
A Laplace transform is a mathematical operator that is used to solve differential equations. This operator is also used to transform waveform functions from the time domain to the frequency domain and can simplify the study of such functions. For continuous functions, f(t), the Laplace transform, F(s), is defined as the Integral from 0 to infinity of f(t)*e-stdt. When this definition is used it can be shown that the Laplace transform, Fn(s) of the nth derivative of a function, fn(t), is given by the following generic formula:
Fn(s)=snF(s) - sn-1f0(0) - sn-2f1(0) - sn-3f2(0) - sn-4f3(0) - sn-5f4(0). . . . . - sn-nfn-1(0)Thus, by taking the Laplace transform of an entire differential equation you can eliminate the derivatives of functions with respect to t in the equation replacing them with a Laplace transform operator, and simple initial condition constants, fn(0), times a new variable s raised to some power. In this manner the differential equation is transformed into an algebraic equation with an F(s) term. After solving this new algebraic equation for F(s) you can take the inverse Laplace transform of the entire equation. Since the inverse Laplace transform of F(s) is f(t) you are left with the solution to the original differential equation.
What is zero to the zero power?
See my related link posts. There's some good information there.
This is what's called an indeterminate form. There is some consensus that maybe it should be equal to 1, but only in some situations. Depending on the functions that get you into the situation of zero to the zero power, you can get different results, just like functions that arrive at zero divide by zero.
Think of the graph y = x^0 (the carat means raise to the power of).
Since anything raised to power of zero equals 1, then you have the line y=1, but now take the graph y = 0^x. So zero to any number equals zero, so the line is y=0. But zero to the zero should come up with the same answer, regardless of what functions got you there. That's why it is indeterminate.
Who are some famous Philipinian mathematicians?
Leopoldo Torrabala is one important mathematician from the Philippines. He created the math and science high school for gifted filipino children. He patterened this after one that existed in New York. Dr. Torraballa was a math professor at NY University.

According to www.answers.com, a mobius strip is a continuous one-sided surface that can be formed from a rectangular strip by rotating one end 180° and attaching it to the other end.
How old was Nicolaus Copernicus when he died?
Mathematician Nicolaus Copernicus was 70 years old when he died on May 24, 1543.
(birthdate February 19, 1473)
Blaise Pascal published the workings of a triangular array showing the relationship between binary coefficients in said triangle. For instance:
__________________________________________
|.......................................1.........................................|
|..................................1........1....................................|
|..............................1.......2........1...............................|
|..........................1......3........3.......1...........................|
|......................1......4.......6.......4......1........................|
|...................1......5.....10....10......5......1...................|
|...............1......6.....15....20.....15.....6.....1...............|
|_________________________________________|
Each number in the above triangle is the sum of the two numbers right about it.
For example, 20 is the sum of 10 and 10, and 2 is the sum of 1 and 1.
What is the Importance of math games?
teaching your children or students in a funner way
Well that's not all of it some importance are how you make the game fun and how you it your kids learn.
How Archimedes found the formula for finding the volume of the sphere?
Volume of a sphere = 4/3*pi*radius3 and legend has it that Archimedes was having a bath when he discovered the formula
Did Blaise Pascal discover the laws of probability?
hi this is Rudd. im bored in power tech.. mr chandlers class.
im sitting here with coltan & Allen. they are talking about how they think they are chubby. which they are not.
but i do know that he did discover the laws of probability.
im doing a stupid power point on it now.
oh, and btw.. coltan thinks Adam Lambert is HOT and you should vote for him.
not like he wont win anyways.
=)
No he did not ever marry. He was so rediculously involved in his work people say, but I'd say he was just a nerd who was bad with the ladies. :P
Copernicus' father was Niklas Koppernigk and died when he was 10
Can you use the Pythagoras theorem when squaring the corners of a building?
yes it help major big time. You need a chain or rope 12 metre long marked in metres. Lay on ground to form a triangle with one side 3 , one side 4 and one side 5 metres. The angle between the 3 and 4 metre lengths is exactly 90 degrees.
Where can you go to find help with your math problems?
You can go to www.math.com and you can get tutored, play math games, practice, and much, much more!!! Check it out.
Did Nicolaus Copernicus ever marry?
No because he did not have time to.
Nicolaus Copernicus never married.
There are 31,536,000 seconds in an average 365 day year, so multiply that by 29 years and you get (approximately) 914,544,000 seconds in 29 "average" years. To be more precise, you would have to include leap years and fractions of years.
Ramanujan is a great Indian mathematician born on 22nd December 1887, and died on 26th April 1920 whose age was just 32yrs.
Maurits Escher was a remarkable Swiss mathematician and teacher that was responsible for instituting the use of the symbol pi in mathematical notation.
