While I have without a doubt learned much more in this class than I assumed I would, I still have trouble grasping the equations and backgrounds of the scientific discoveries we have read about. Science and math have never been my strong suits so it takes a little bit of extra explanation and breakdowns for me to fully comprehend lessons within the two. Since I am a visual learner, watching the theories, laws, and equations be proven would definitely be helpful for me. If there were videos incorporated into the lectures and discussions, I know I would benefit. I am not sure if it is feasible, but if we were able to do any experiments related to the topics, it would be easier for me to clearly understand every aspect of what it is we are focusing on. As I said, I am learning from both the …show more content…
It’s difficult to read about the life of a man that is filled with science and despair when I can connect with little to nothing that has occurred. Clausius, on the other hand, seemed like an average man for the time period who lacked much drama in his life. While the loss of his mother and beloved wife were definitely heartbreakingly difficult to cope with, death must be dealt with by all. As Guillen stated, Clausius was just “…a casuality of the inequitable entropy law; only the universe had gained from the exchange” (1995, p. 214). Since he was portrayed as a common, yet brilliant, male with a desire to fall in love and create a large family, it was easier to put myself in his shoes and understand his drive. While I’m not a man, and much to my dismay, neither brilliant, it is not hard to see life from Clausius’ perspective. His two passions, both at which he succeeded, were his work and family, which seems like the standard goal in today’s
I elicited and built upon student’s response to promote thinking and develop understanding of science concepts through questioning to get student think critically about what they did at each station and how it fit together what we see happen outside the classroom. it can be seen in the video clip 2 lesson 4 minute , it can been seen in the video that students are actively engaged in answering questions and are willing to give their insight into situation. In video clip 1 The students watch a video about the chemistry of carbon. and while the students watched the video there were a list of the question that each students need to answer it, and one of these questions was asking about “what the protein are made off “This provided students
Have you ever craved to be the center of attention with no care for the consequences? Spun a lie to be feel important? It all seems like harmless fun but what happens when that certain lie begins to spiral out of control? In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams goes through this exact situation and ends up bringing utter chaos upon Salem Village. Abigail’s village is composed of very devout Puritans who take any sinister activity seriously.
| In 2001 the Center for Medicare and Medicaid took charge of the Health Care Financing Administration. A person can go on with SSI for 2 years if he/she fails to meet the requirements for Medicare for the time being. The person should be eligible for Social Security Disability in this case. For some particular disease Medicare may be offered without any delay
Integrating other learning areas in our unit of work and exercising more resources that teachers can use in the classroom base upon our science unit is also a crucial element that our group was missing that needed to be included in our presentation. The classroom environment should include lots of books, visual materials, ICT devices and activities to facilitate learning and keep the student’s interests by promoting questioning and discussion to stimulate their science thinking processes and skills in a creative and encouraging environment. (Pitcher, 2014)
Conception also known as fertilisation is the fusing of two gametes. This creates an embryo which will eventually develop into a baby. All human life begins with conception. A fertile woman will usually produce one egg a month around 2 weeks after the last menstrual period.
The advice I can give to instructors is to save one of the videos presented in our class and show it to the next group of students as an example. It's always nice to see a sample and get some inspirational ideas, when you are being introduced to the new project. I believe that it would benefit the next cohort of students
My favorite part in chapter 3 was how the author connected math to children's literature. I absolutely love this idea for a few reasons. First, connecting these two subjects shows students that math is everywhere and that it doesn't just belong in math class. Showing this connection to students will open their eyes on how different subjects intermix with each other. Second, as teachers, we would be meeting more standards than if we were to teach the two subject separate. And third, it just makes math more fun. I mean, who doesn't want to know how big Hagrid is compared to them? I know I do! Doing simple activities like that make the book actually come to life for the students. They can see how big or small a certain character would be in real
The field of mathematics relates to the field of electrical engineering much like that of art, science, and technology fields. In fact, the writing format of mathematics and electrical engineering’s share distinct qualities. Arrigo and Taylor discuss their work by explaining that there are multiple methods to solve a problem, however each method has its faults. Furthermore, Taylor’s engineering format contains subsections to explain the results more plainly, whereas Arrigo’s mathematics format continues to explain in scholarly terms. Arrigo’s use of scholarly terms is more likely to be comprehended by mathematicians.
The outdoors are a way to explore a vividly beautiful world and to do so much more. It’s not just about the trees and the flowers, but it’s about exploring and learning new material every day about nature and wildlife. The outdoors is a creative place to learn, have some fun, provides health benefits, and activities, such as hiking.
Out of many famous mathematicians that have impacted the study of math and science, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz has affected both mathematics and science greatly. His influence in mathematics was his co-invention of calculus, and he contributed in the innovations of the theory of geometric envelopes and the binary number system. As a child, his IQ has been estimated as second in all of history. Leibniz also contributed to biology. He predicted the Earth's molten core, he introduced the notion of the subconscious mind, and invented the first calculator that could do multiplication. He created more mathematical terms than any other mathematician. He invented words such as function, analysis situ, variable, abscissa, parameter, and coordinate. Leibniz described himself as "the most teachable of mortals". (Fabpedigree.com/mathmen)
Albert Camus is a famous writer who discusses a wide variety of topics in his works. His account of the myth of Sisyphus touches on a topic that most writers are either afraid of or unwilling to talk about. This is the issue of suicide and how to deal with it as an individual and as a community. The principal point in the story by Camus is the presence of absurdity in our very existence. The presence of life and all living things that we are aware of is an absurdity according to Camus, who questions the plausibility of some people considering suicide to be the best solution to this absurdity. Having an understanding of the elements of nature that make up our world does not mean that it will ever be possible to understand—and fully appreciate—the reasons why our world is as it is. Whether one believes in God and the creation account, in the evolution process or in the Big Bang Theory among others is irrelevant because of the underlying absurdity to all of these scenarios (Camus 3). He writes that it was his intention to find the relationship between suicide and the absurd. This essay by Camus leads the reader to make an assessment of life and arrive at a suitable decision. This paper will provide a further understanding of these thoughts. This paper will show that life is simply meaningless but must be appreciated nonetheless.
No one thinks that they have an impact on the world. But everyone does; everyone is a number in some algorithm. Each one of us is turned into numbers and those stats become data and are used by scientists to either do good or in some cases, bad. The book “Weapons of Math Destruction”, Cathy O’Neil talks about the dangers of turning people into numbers and how people don 't even know that it is happening. A lot can go wrong when people are no longer people and they are turned into the just number. People could be placed in the wrong group because they went through a rough time for a short period, and that could ruin their lives, but computers only see numbers, not the person the number represents. Job interviews that should have happened, didn 't because the computer passed over them because of a certain number, not the actual person. A person could also be called in for a job because they may have seemed perfect, but they were the opposite of what they needed. And being in a certain area could then mean that a person is now associated with that group even though they never were. The scientist turns people into numbers so that they are easier to cataracts and target, even if those categories are unknown to the public and is causing harm.
Mathematics, study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes, and properties and of logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced. In the past, mathematics was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes, as in geometry, or of numbers, as in arithmetic, or of the generalization of these two fields, as in algebra. Toward the middle of the 19th century, however, mathematics came to be regarded increasingly as the science of relations, or as the science that draws necessary conclusions. This latter view encompasses mathematical or symbolic logic, the science of using symbols to provide an exact theory of logical deduction and inference based on
Many philosophers use pure mathematics and/or mathematical truths as a basis for their philosophical claims. Saying that beliefs and concepts are possible because of mathematics is possible due to the unchanging nature of the subject. Mathematics is known to be an absolute truth that is not doubted, allowing it act as a fixed truth for new ideas. However, what would life and philosophy be like if we did not have a basis of pure mathematics and/or mathematical truths to rely on?
What is mathematics? What is the distinct definition for it? Something that always has bewildered me is what maths really is.
