Srinivasa Ramanujan, who was said by GH Hardy to have talent "in the same league as legendary mathematicians such as Gauss, Euler, Cauchy, Newton and Archimedes", passed away at the age of 32 in Chetput, Madras, India.
Pascal's Triangle in 1653. Which was also discovered 5 centuries earlier by Chinese mathematician Yang Hui.
Did Rene Descartes had a mathematical accomplishments?
Yes, he did. He devised the Cartesian coordinate system which led to analytical geometry.
Who were Pythagoras's parents names?
His father was called Menesarchus and his mother was called Parthenis.
Hope this helps!
How did Archimedes contribute in the advacements of geometry?
Type your answer here... he developed the theory of great mathimatics
Is it possible network analysis without use of laplace transform?
In short, yes, it is possible, but much, much more difficult. Laplace transforms turn systems of integro-differential equations into algebraic equations, and give an immediate expression for the frequency response which is very heavily used in design.
The history of the development of mathematics is a long one. No single person is given credit for the "discovery" of mathematics. As man lived in caves before any written language existed, he understood the nature of the first few numbers, the counting numbers. He could make simple comparisons and could tell that, say, 9 was more than 6. He would be able to see that if he had, say, 8 apples and there were 7 people in his group, each would get one and there would be one left over. This is the beginning of mathematics. It evolved into more abstract forms later and through the work of many dedicated investigators and problem solvers. Whether we look at the Babylonian or Egyptian mathematical systems (which were, in turn, furthered by Greeks and Romans) or skip over to the early (and independently arising) works in the Americas (the Incas), we see man's intuitive grasp of the nature of numbers. We also see him extend the ideas to broader areas in structure and construction. A link is provided below, and a cursory reading is strongly encouraged.
What is the mersene prime number?
A Mersenne prime has the form 2n-1 and n is prime. Examples are the Mersenne prime 7 (23 - 1 = 7) and the Mersenne prime 127 (27 - 1 = 127). The first forty Mersenne primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, 61, 89, 107, 127, 521, 607, 1279, 2203, 2281, 3217, 4253, 4423, 9689, 9941, 11213, 19937, 21701, 23209, 44497, 86243, 110503, 132049, 216091, 756839, 859433, 1257787, 1398269, 2976221, 3021377, 6972593, 13466917, and 20996011.
What contributions did René Descartes make to technology?
Rene Descartes was a French mathematician and in the early 17th century he introduced what we call today the Cartesian coordinate plane in which graphs are plotted.
What is Nickolaus Copernicus famous for?
Copernicus was the first scientist to postulate that our solar system was heliocentric. Until that time, everyone "knew" that the earth was the center of the solar system - everything else, including the sun, revolved around the earth. Copernicus got considerable grief for his views, and it was several more centuries before it was universally accepted that he was correct - the solar system is heliocentric.
John napiers birth and death year?
John Napier, renowned for his work involving logarithms was born in 1550 and died in 1617.
