History Project : Mathematician Anders Celsius

Kelly Miller, mathematician, intellectual, and political activist, who was born on July 23, 1863 in Winnsboro, South Carolina to Kelly and Elizabeth Miller. Miller attended Howard University in Washington, D.C. He earned a B.A. in 1886. While at Howard he served as a clerk in the US Pensions Office. Miller became the first graduate student at Johns Hopkins University in 1887, where he studied mathematics and physics. Increases in his tuition made Miller leave Johns Hopkins in 1889 without completing his graduate work. He continued his studies as a student, an English mathematician at the US Naval Observatory and briefly taught mathematics at M Street High School in Washington before being hired by Howard

In 950 CE Erik Thorvaldsson was born in a place called Rogaland located in western Norway. His parents where Thorvald Asvaldsson and Åsvald Åsvaldson, Erik was an only child. Erik was 10 when he was forced to leave Greenland with his parents after his father Thorvald was exiled from Greenland for manslaughter to a small area in north

Born: Possibly end of May or early June between 1501 and 1507, specific date unknown. Probably born at Blickling (Norfolk).

Iowa’s wetlands are a large part of Iowa history and an important part of our current society that have been almost wiped out. The restoration of wetlands not only affects the ecosystem on a small scale, but also the nation as a whole, and society itself. It provides a source of recreation, a benefit to the economy, and improves certain aspects of farming. Wetland restoration is a difficult task that often requires many levels of planning, management, and monitoring. But once finished, the benefits that it can bring are almost countless, just a few being protection of native wildlife, flora and fauna, improving water quality naturally, and preserving a sense of Iowa history and heritage. There are many

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. As a child, he lived a comfortable life with luxuries due to his mother's fortune. As a child, he attended a catholic school and wrote his first novel at the age of 13. His claim to fame was writing the Great Gatsby, where he started to be known as a real writer and wrote many other great pieces of writing that were later appreciated. It gained popularity due to its description of the 1920’s. After this, he became a heavy drinker which led to alcoholism and he began to have many problems such wife who began to have mental problems. Some of his contributions to society are his work of the Great Gatsby is read by every High School, that is transforming generations through literature. Albert Einstein would get along with F. Scott Fitzgerald because Einstein likes reading books and they can converse about The Great Gatsby and his ideas on how he came up with the book and probably give him some ideas.

Leif Eriksson was believed to have been born in Iceland around 979 B.C., he spent his formative years in desolate Greenland, he was a Northman and a Viking.

Prince Rupert of the Rhine born on 17 December 1619 in Prague this is where his mother gave birth to him.

Galileo Galilei Galileo followed his families’ footsteps by studying medicine at the University of Pisa. Later, he was inspired to study time intervals. He convinced his father to let him change his study to mathematics and natural philosophy. Galileo created many things such as the thermo scope, the hydrostatic balance, and ideas for the pendulum clock. He succeeded in experiment, theory and mathematics.

Once the idea that climate change was happening was more mainstream and not dismissed, another scientist picked up Fourier’s theory. He proposed the idea that carbon dioxide could be what was trapping the heat, and also that water vapor is good at trapping heat. Although, this did not explain why the Earth was so warm. The idea was again visited later on, but this time Svante Arrhenius discovered that a certain amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere equals a certain amount of warmth. This trend continued for years, scientists discovering new things about the atmosphere. How did the ice ages happen? How much carbon dioxide can the atmosphere handle? These were questions scientists have asked.

Non-problematic use of cannabis: The peculiarity between cannabis use disorder and non-problematic use of cannabis is the denial of the amount of usage. She has been struggling with finances due to the separation from an abusive ex-husband who is in jail for 7 years and trying to get full custody of their daughter. As a consequence, the patient has been in and out of detox program only to return to using and abusing alcohol and marijuana (Association, 2013).

Science revolutionist and philosophers were trying to find ways to improve political aspects in Society. The Science Revolutionist improved economics and lead to ideas against monarchs. This period led to more technology thus improving economics. During this time the scientific method was created through the approaches of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo in experiments. This uniform law led to more experimentation. Scholars and scientist started developing technology to improve scientific knowledge. For example, Gabriel Fahrenheit created the thermometer and Zacharias Janssen created the microscope that allowed more precise measurements for experiments improving scientific

In 1635, Blaise Pascal’s father found his twelve-year-old son on the floor of his bedroom, charcoal in hand, having figured out by himself the proofs found in Euclid’s Elements. Pascal’s father was astounded by how his precocious son was able to replicate what the Father of Geometry had only discovered at the age of thirty. As a result, he henceforth shifted the focus of his son’s study from Classical literature to mathematics. Pascal quickly overtook his father—himself a tax official well-versed in science and mathematics—in mathematical skill. Born to a wealthy French family on June 19th, 1623, Blaise Pascal died thirty-nine years later, having been responsible for many contributions to physics, mathematics, and even theology.

Albert Einstein is considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. He is known for developing the theories of relativity. He is also noted for his mathematical formula of E = mc² (David Bodanis). Although he was not directly involved in the Manhattan Project, which was responsible for creating the atomic bomb, but he is still considered the mastermind because of his breakthrough formula. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect (A. Calaprice & T. Lipscombe).

Logistics - (business definition) Logistics is defined as a business planning framework for the management of material, service, information and capital flows. It includes the increasingly complex information, communication and control systems required in today 's business environment. -- (Logistix Partners Oy, Helsinki, FI, 1996)
