While staying in Italy to avoid the Austro-Prussian War, he died of tuberculosis. This was in 1866, he was 39.
Did Niels Abel have any siblings?
Yes. He had six siblings. In fact, Abel lived in poverty do to the large family.
When did Archimedes discover his invention?
he discovered his invention when he was in the bath. and also he found out that objects float when there density is lower than the water e.g. o.24.
they were gods of all gods they are very strong in a greek mythology they were childrean of hatis witch was the devil so according to the bible they were mad and ripped it apart and that was when athena (their mother) locked them in a chamber for the rest of their lifes and that is why in the us we have jails again.....this is mythology i hoped i helped u all enjoy =)
Prof. William Dunham explicates one version of the phrase in the series I'm now watching entitled "Great Thinkers, Great Theorems". In Lecture no. 6, "The Life and Works of Archimedes", Prof. Dunham states the quotation as "Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth."
Here is a portion of what Prof Dunham explains this to mean:
"What he (Archimedes) is getting at there is he understood the principle of the lever, the fulcrum, and if you had a long enough arm and you push down you can lift a very great weight - even the earth - should you have a long enough arm to do that."
How could Aristotle's hypothesis be supported or disproved?
Drop two balls with different weights and observe which ball hits the ground first.
Why is not possible for the Archimedes to move the Earth with the lever?
For Archimedes to move the Earth with a lever he would need:
- a rock to put under the Earth (to act as a fulcrum)
- a board/stick long enough & strong enough to lift the Earth
- somewhere to stand....he can't stand ON the Earth and move it, so where would he stand?..........in space?
When did Albert Einstein graduate from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich?
Albert Einstein graduated in 1900 from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School with a diploma in mathematics and physics.
Why did Archimedes make the pulley?
because king heroin challenged Archimedes to bring a ship to the beach single handedly. so archimendes thought and thought then came up with the pully
What English mathematician in the 1700s created the symbol for pi?
Pi was invented by William Jones in 1706 who was a Welsh mathematician.
What is Rene Descartes discourse on method and aliens?
In "Discourse on The Method," Descartes implies that traveling abroad can alienate you from your homeland" "if you spend too much time travelling you will end up being a stranger in your own country; and someone who is too absorbed in studying the practices of past ages usually remains quite ignorant about those of the present century." (Discourse On The Method, page 3, (1637) translated by Jonathan Bennet. )
What belief about nature did Francis Bacon and Descartes share?
Abstract reasoning and experimentation could explain nature.
Archimedes made pi by using the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series. From the method of exhaustion, he gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi (3.141593).
The more sides a polygon has, the closer the approximation approaches pi. Pn is the perimeter of a regular polygon with n sides circumscribed around a circle with diameter d.
The formula Archimedes used to calculate pi is: pi equals limits over number of sides to infinity multiplied by the perimeter of a regular polygon divided by the diameter.
Did Isaac Newton have any role models?
Dr. Isaac Barrow was his teacher and mentor
he stepped down from his job so Isaac Newton could take his place
How did mathematicians find pi?
By dividing the diameter of a circle into its circumference which is about 22/7 but the true value of pi is not known as a decimal because its decimal places can go on to infinity.
