Sección 6 ID: 150141 Me gusto comprender y entender los orígenes de las matemáticas y porque tiene cierta semejanza con la poesía, ya que se necesita analizarlas, comprenderlas, profundizarlas y admirarlas para comprender su lenguaje. El lenguaje matemático tiene su toque de belleza y así como el autor nos lleva de la mano lo hace de una forma amena, mostrándonos la importancia de las matemáticas en nuestra vida, desde el inicio que se crearon por la necesidad de la humanidad a tener un “idioma”

Most Noble Giovanni It has been a pleasure for me to read the works of Copernicus, Aristotle and Ptolemy on the universe aswell as Sidereus Nuncius by my very good friend Galileo Galilei in the same lifetime. These past few days have been extremely enlightening for me and I just wanted to share my thoughts with someone who thinks on the same spectrum as I. If you are unfamiliar with their works, I can explain briefly. Aristotle was a philosopher who studied under great philosopher Plato. He focused

expansion of culture and intellect. It was a time of changes that included new and different ways of gaining knowledge, the general expansion of the sharing of knowledge, and broadened scholastic authority; all of which are exemplified by Galileo Galilei and his works. Galileo is an excellent example of a typical Renaissance astronomer. Prior to the Renaissance, scholar’s blindly followed Aristotle and his works on the philosophy of nature. It wasn’t until the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries that

History is a blank sheet of paper, authored by whoever took the pen first. Look at Galileo Galilei for an instance. For hundreds of years, he was thought to be the first to find the groundbreaking fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Sorry Nicholas Copernicus, but Galileo grabbed the pen first. History is also altered by winners. Why did America get involved in World War 2? Because Japan sneak attacked Pearl Harbor of course. After World War 1, Japan was promoted to become an influential

Sara Gutierrez De Piñeres Conclusions: Length vs. Period: By looking at the graph of Length vs. Period one can conclude that as the length gets longer the period will increase. When two pendulums have different lengths but the same amplitude, the shorter pendulum will have a smaller arc to travel through. Because the distance the mass travels from maximum displacement to equilibrium is less while the acceleration of both pendulums remains the same, the shorter pendulum will have a shorter period

Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, founded the Celsius measurement for temperature. Celsius and his partner, Olof Hjorter, discovered a connection between the northern lights (aurora borealis) and the magnetic field coming from Earth. As they continued studying they soon found out that the northern lights effected the needle of a compass. In 1733 Celsius published his findings with the magnetic field. Although Celsius is known for being an astronomer he did accomplish many other things. He

Science is hardly evident in Colonial America between 1607 to 1770 because it was mainly influenced by the British. Science is the study of the world's phenomena that can be discovered through observation and experiment. Two major scientific studies for the British included Astronomy and Cartography especially by the “England’s Royal Society”. This organization valued the contribution the colonialists made to their scientific discoveries and experiments because it gave them a different perspective

The Scientific Revolution and the Birth of Astronomy Many people today question the purpose of religion and, rather than warship the bible and adhere to papal infallibility, focus on coming up with new ideas, scientific approaches, and solutions to answer the infinite amount of questions life has to offer. Challenging the ideas found in tradition and religious faith is not a new concept invented by recent generations. In circa 1550 AD, one of the most dramatic social transformations ever faced

The specific heresy that Galileo was condemned with was vehement suspicion of heresy, not the worst kind to be sure, but still moderately heretical. The main difference between these types of heresy is that for formal heresy the subject must realize they are committing heresy, and still cling to their beliefs, where suspected heresy (also known as material heresy) has people in ignorance committing one heresy or another . This fact is important when determining if Galileo was in fact a heretic, because
