There are few steps to finding how tall an item is, however, it is quite difficult to be completely accurate with the objects that I utilized. First, I needed to build a clinometer with a straw, protractor, and string, which was used to find the angle of elevation. “The angle of elevation is the angle formed by a horizontal line and a line

    Mathematics is different from some other disciplines such as art and music in that it builds upon itself. It has traditionally been based on a series of axioms and theorems derived from these axioms, from which more theorems can be derived. Therefore, when an essay asks us to eliminate a concept fundamental to mathematics, it is difficult to make a choice since each concept has its merits and is necessary for understanding concepts that build upon it. This essay, although not feasible to implement

    used Science to assist with survival skills. Furthermore, the Romans need of survival and expertise led to the Romans practicing 19th Century farming techniques. Another Example, of science developing is Hipparchus developing trigonometry, “Hipparchus developed trigonometry when he realized that Euclid’s geometry couldn't help him with the geometry of things that were moving in space. Because Hipparchus was looking at the movement of planets, he needed mathematics that would deal with moving, changing

    The Contributors of Logarithms The discovery of the logarithm is a great mathematics breakthrough made by John Napier and Joost Burgi. These two mathematicians had different concepts of the logarithms and its present use today. John Napier’s logarithms were published in 1614, while six years later, in 1620, Burgi’s logarithms were published (A REVIEW OF LOGARITHMS 2016). Both Napier and Burgi invented logarithms in order to simplify mathematical calculations. To reach their goals, they used two different
