Why are the Crusades important in European History?

The Crusades are really important in European history because it was the biggest war of the Middle Ages.

You have to consider that in the Middle Ages in Europe pretty much everyone was a Catholic and very religious. So when the Pope said that they had to go to war to win back Jerusalem (the most important place for Christians) everyone was involved in some way. It would have effected everyones lives: going on the Crusade, paying the taxes to fund the Crusades, praying for the people on the Crusades and for victories...

The Crusades were spread over hundreds off years so most people in the era would have experienced it. The Crusades was massive as it lead to the winning and losing of the most important places in two religions Christianity and Islam; and the two sides fighting against each other to see which side was stronger. The Crusades have been called the first world wars as it involved the two superpowers in the Middle Ages Europe and Asia.

How are vectors used in real life?

Vectors (as mathematical objects) are used wherever you have to calculate with both the size and direction of a parameter.

Some applications include:

  • Moving objects (cars, boats, airplanes weather, etc) where you have a speed and a direction of motion.
  • Forces

Vectors (as graphical objects) are used to draw images which do not loose their crisp sharpness when the image is magnified.

Vectors (in the medical sense) are the transmitters or carriers of a disease. E.g. the lice on the black rat was the vector fro the bubonic plague.

Sail boats. On board our boat we have an "apparent wind" speed/direction indicator. But truth tell, it's a constant mental evaluation of vector analysis: Wind from here, boat going in this direction, speed so & so, waves and current pushing the boat in another direction. Constant vector analysis (IN THE HEAD!).

Another real life situation: Bad guy runs and cop decides to shoot --- wind speed, movement of target, movement of shooter all vector analysis.

What demographic transition stage is the US in?

Some geographers still believe that the US is in stage 3 because the crude birth and death rates are still a little too far apart to be considered stage 4. However geographers and I believe the US is in stage for ONLY because countries that are certainly known to be in stage 3 have a greater range of the crude birth rate and the crude death rate. The US has a CDR and CBR that are much closer together than other stage 3 countries, and therefore the US must be in stage 4. If you needed to know this for a graded assignment i would say stage 4.
