What is the contribution of Heron in mathematics?
he gave out the area of a triangle when sides are given

What is the sixteenth number in Pi?
The sixteenth decimal place (to the right) of Pi is the number 2. However, Pi to only 11 places to the right of the decimal is accurate for a circle the circumference of the earth to within 1 mm. Pi to 16 places is: 3.1415926535897932
The impact of Copernicus's descovery?
Copernicus knew that his theory would be controversial so he had it published after he was dead. The book started out as kind of a secret only for those people serious enough to read that sort of stuff. Then people started making it more and more publish until it came to the attention of the church. Bruno got himself burned at the stake over it, Galileo got himself publically censored and under house arrest for the rest of his life. After Galileo it remained controversial but the opinions were constantly going against the church. In the mid 1970's the Catholic church finally retracted its defiance.

How do you get back into studying when you've been slacking for so long?
You mean you want to re-enter school or you want to change attitude?
If it is re-enter school, talk to the school itself.
If it is attitude you need to do some reassociation. Basically you have pain and pleasure. List all the reasons you want to do well. And think of how this will benifit you in the long term, how you, your family and kids would be better off. Associate learning, even when you are frustrated to enjoyment and wonderment. Each time you get frustrated just think of how interesting this is that you cant do this now but will be able to in a moment. Hope this helps.

How do you apply laplace transform method to solve systems of ordinary DEs?
you apply the Laplace transform on both sides of both equations. You will then get a sytem of algebraic equations which you can solve them simultaneously by purely algebraic methods. Then take the inverse Laplace transform .
