2 days ago · Archimedes of Syracuse (/ ˌ ɑːr k ɪ ˈ m iː d iː z / AR-kim-EE-deez; c. 287 – c. 212 BC) was an Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor from the ancient city of Syracuse in Sicily. Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity.Considered the greatest mathematician of ancient history ...
5 days ago · non-Euclidean geometry, literally any geometry that is not the same as Euclidean geometry. Although the term is frequently used to refer only to hyperbolic geometry, common usage includes those few geometries (hyperbolic and spherical) that differ from but are very close to Euclidean geometry ( see table).
5 days ago · By Gauss's lemma, if the equation is reducible, one can suppose that the factors have integer coefficients. Finding the roots of a reducible cubic equation is easier than solving the general case. In fact, if the equation is reducible, one of the factors must have degree one, and thus have the form q x − p {\displaystyle qx-p} with q and p being coprime integers .
Jul 7, 2024 · The Gauss to Pull Force Calculator simplifies the estimation of the magnetic pull force exerted by a magnetic field on a conductor carrying an electric current. Historical Background. The gauss is a unit named after the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss, who made significant contributions to many fields, including magnetism.
Jun 21, 2024 · In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus.The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, published in 1801.. Let's use the hours of a clock as an example, except we will start with 0 instead of 12 on top.
Jul 3, 2024 · Enrico Fermi (born Sept. 29, 1901, Rome, Italy—died Nov. 28, 1954, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.) was an Italian-born American scientist who was one of the chief architects of the nuclear age.He developed the mathematical statistics required to clarify a large class of subatomic phenomena, explored nuclear transformations caused by neutrons, and directed the first controlled chain reaction ...
