about; it is considered the founding idea of probability. Bernoulli worked for many years on his book, although his work was incomplete it made headway once it was published regarding the use of rational numbers in a sequence regarding trigonometry functions. Bernoulli contracted tuberculosis and passed away before he was able to complete the book, family members published his work several years after his death. Ars Conjectandi consisted mainly of material regarding probability theory and expected values
appropriate model In the case of ChocoMint bar, the hyperbolic model might be more appropriate. Figure4.2 hyperbolic relationship between monthly demand for ChocoMint and relative prices y = 836.78x-0.854 R² = 0.8488 R = -0.9213 4.3 Justification of the hyperbolic model’s higher suitability Firstly, compared with the linear model, the value of correlation R of this hyperbolic model is closer to 1. Thus, it indicates that the hyperbolic model represents the relationship between the
The Singularity is Near: Book Response The Singularity is Near was written by Ray Kurzweil in 2005. Kurzweil looks into the near future and confidently predicts where we, as a species, will find ourselves. The Singularity is a future period at which artificial intelligence will match and exceed the intelligence of humans, including the problem-solving skills, pattern recognition, even emotional and moral intelligence of the human brain. We will reach this point relatively soon. Kurzweil estimates
History of Hyperbolic Geometry The discovery of non-Euclidean geometry is credited to nineteenth-century mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss, Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky, and János Bolyai because they are first to recognize that the negation of Euclid’s Fifth Postulate as an axiom produced another geometry that was as rich and solid as that of Euclidean geometry (Venema, 2012). However, several concepts of Hyperbolic geometry were already known by that time, it just was not labeled as Hyperbolic geometry
the application of non-Euclidean geometry enables architects and designers to develop both visually appealing and structurally sound buildings. In the era of generative design and highly advanced software, spatial structures can be modeled in the hyperbolic, elliptic or fractal geometry. This paper focuses on non-Euclidean geometry and its use in architecture. One of the non-Euclidean geometries used in modern architecture is elliptic geometry. It is also known as spherical geometry, a special case
two separate branches, Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry. Being based off different postulates, theorems, and proofs, Euclidean Geometry deals mostly with two-dimensional figures, while Demonstrative, Analytic, Descriptive, Conic, Spherical, Hyperbolic, are Non-Euclidean, dealing with figures containing more than two-dimensions. The main difference between Euclidean, and Non-Euclidean Geometry is the assumption of how many lines are parallel to another. In Euclidean Geometry it is stated that
between the geometry of M and traces of Γ, where M is a complex hyperbolic orbifold written as H2 C /Γ and Γ is a discrete, faithful representation of π1(M) to Isom(H2 C). He did that by first considering the case where Γ is a free group on two generators and secondly, looking at the case where Γ is a triangle group generated by complex reflections in three complex lines. Several geometrical information connecting traces and complex hyperbolic space could be seen in Parker [4]. Pratossevitch [6] also presented
The Royal academy 1811-1815 In 1811 Samuel Morse’s father allowed him to attend the Royal Academy in England soon after his education at Yale University. At Yale, Samuel Morse saw demonstrations of electricity, which played an important role in his later life. The Royal Academy was a school where Samuel Morse would be able to study and practice painting. He practiced there from 1811 to 1815 alongside some of the most famous artists of his time. Later, he furthered his artistic career. He painted
Don DeLillo throughout White Noise confirms through his characters that the individual is capable of expressing feelings instantaneously, but for the most part are calculated in their actions, and give off a façade. With the vast use of characters, from Jack Gladney to the nun, we can take a closer look at the individuals in the world filled with white noise. There is truly the possibility for human kind to be honest down to the bone, for instance what Gladney expresses love for his children, even
property to language in general, which can also function reflexively comment on the language or verbal system itself. In this reflexive form of language, called ‘metalanguage’, the metalinguistic function of language, which is also central to the metadiscourse model used in this study, is most evident. The metalinguistic function is one of the six functions of language proposed by Jakobson (1998), and the other five are expressive, directive,
