specific mathematician that brought great ideas into the world was Gottfried Leibniz. He contributed a lot to mathematics, science, physics, philosophy and even his local government. Mathematicians are very important because without them we would not have many important theories that explain why certain things happen in the world. Mathematicians are important for science, physics, and philosophy. The theories that mathematicians create are very important to the academic world. Leibniz was born…

Keeyan Khaleghi 6 3.22.18 Science p3 Sir Issac Newtown was born on January 4, 1643 and died on March 31, 1727. He was a man of science developed the principles of contemporary physics. He devoted his life to science. He also devoted his life to his belief in God and joined the smartest minds of the 17th century. Issac Newton’s mother, Hannah Ayscough, and his father Issac Newton Sr. were farmers. Newton’s dad died before he was born, his mother remarried, and Newton was sent to live with…

Courtney Heemsoth Physics 1030 Research Paper Johannes Kepler How does Johannes Kepler continue to influence the world of mathematics and physics? Johannes Kepler did so by creating what is known as the laws of planetary motion which help explain the motion of planets which orbit around the sun. His discoveries were a breakthrough for this time period which occurred between 1571-1630. This was so shocking to the public because no one was able to explain the planets and the orbits in this time…

Sir Isaac Newton was one of the greatest minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution. He helped develop the principles of modern physics and also a new type of math called calculus. His book Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica has been called the single most influential book on physics (“Sir Isaac Newton”, 2014). Despite all this, he remained a humble man who once said, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants (“Isaac Newton”, n.d.)”.…

In chemistry it is expected that pupils be taught about ‘the nature of matter, about the atom, chemical reactions, the periodic table and the Earth and the atmosphere’. In physics, the basics of physics should be taught, including; ‘energy, motion and forces, waves, electricity and electromagnetism, matter and space physics’. (DFE, 2013) KS4 content is a continuation and build-up of the principles and ideas that are introduced in KS3. At this level, more insight and analytical…

Associating with different architects, Forsythe educated himself on spatiality and structure to construct the dancers’ bodies. Although Balanchine’s movement applied math to elongate the dancer’s body, Forsythe constructs movements based on researching physics. In a recorded conversation, Forsythe explains how he creates his movements by, “drawing imaginary shapes in the air, and then running his limbs through his complicated and invisible geometry.” Forsythe interconnected points between…

for modern physics. The true genius of his work is how he took those theories and compared them to the universe at large, these explained the motions of the Sun and planets in a way that had never been done before. Newton dreams up the laws of gravity and the rest. Newton became the first to figure out that white light is made up a spectrum of colors . He also discovered the basis of present day calculus. Newton laid the start for the three laws of motion, which is still taught to physics…

austrian physicist who worked on radioactivity and nuclear physics. In the website Atomic Archive it states “Meitner was part of [the] Hahn-Meitner-Strassmann team that worked on transuranium elements...”. Meitner was a part of this team that had helped her with her succession of discovering nuclear fission. Meitner was the third child of eight in her Jewish Family. Later on she entered the University of Vienna in 1901 and studied physics under Ludwig Boltzmann. Leitner was not allowed to enter…

edge of the stage, fizzling out as it spills into the crowded hall. The audience gasps in surprise and on-stage, Nobel Laureate Bill Phillips smiles as he continues to pour liquid nitrogen across the floor. Phillips, recipient of the Nobel prize in Physics in 1997 for his work cooling atoms with laser light and a member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, stands in Bethel’s Benson Great Hall before a captivated audience. Phillips has worked as an experimental physicist for…

“Spaghetti and hydrogen, what do they have in common?” I always remembered the question my physics teacher raised in first physics class in eighth grade. “From the leaves on the trees to the school bus that drives you here”, he continued, “for every matter in the world, there exist certain underlying rules that shape it into what it is, determine how it functions, and thus make it predictable and understandable.” Identifying his conclusion shapes me into a discerning observer. Ever since, I was…
