The Revolutionary Figure that I picked for my essay is Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin was born January 17, 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the tenth son of seventeen of a man who made soap and candles. In his early life at the age of twelve he became an apprentice to his brother who was a printer.
He did this with the help of a friend who had given him a clock, which he disassembled for the purpose of learning about the way it functions. With what he found out, he built a different clock, as mentioned above and earned fame. It also helped him learn more about math (Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806), n.d., p. xx) ("Mathematician and Astronomer Benjamin Banneker Was Born," n.d.)
He found the first “reliable figure” for π(pi) (Source A). In ancient Greece, the crude number system was very inefficient, and Archimedes made it easier to understand and count to higher numbers (Source B). Finally, he used the first known form of calculus while studying curved surfaces under Euclid, not to be later worked on for 2,000 years by Isaac Newton (Source A).
The finalized version of Morse code was created in 1873 with the help of Alfred Vail. I. Three years later, they patented the code system “Telegraph signals.” III. Along with the creation of Morse code, the telegraph also began to develop.
Also , one of the most important invention in that time is the invention of an adding machine that has been created by a Frenchmen by the name of Blaise Pascal. The adding machine is a type of mechanical machine that have been usually used for bookkeeping. Blaise Pascal , the inventor, is physicist, mathematician, inventor, writer and a Christian philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, and his father was a tax collector in Rouen (port in Northern
Throughout humanity, we undergo standoffs amongst the issues of ignorance we find within our deepest cores. To be knowledgeable, is to be within understanding. Can someone show enough humility to own up to their wrong comprehension? When we come to an unknown idea or object there is a moment of denial, a rush of fear. And there is a fight or flight thought rumbling in the mind.
Oxygen was discovered in 1774 by John Priestley in England, and two years earlier than Carl W. Scheele in Sweden. One day, while Priestley was doing an experiment on mercury, totally unexpectedly the mercury released a gas that made a candle stick burn five times faster. Priestley said “But what surprised me more than I can well express was that a candle burned in this air with a remarkably vigorous flame. I was utterly at loss how to account for it.” After John Priestley found how oxygen reacted on combustion he created an experiment.
Some people believe students should not work in fast-food chain because they can get distracted by working and the job may not provide them with skilled-based opportunities. In his essay, Amitai Etzioni, points out the bad influence fast-food chains, such as MacDonald’s, have on the students they employ. He thinks that working in fast-food chains can contribute to academic problems. The debate over whether or not students should work during school especially in fast food chain is currently a very controversial topic. I personally support Amitai Etzioni’s idea that working in fast food chains can negatively impact students’ academic careers.
We arrived at the home of Anton Karazai on May 16, 2006, at 6:00 p.m. When we arrived, we found Mr. Karazai hanging from his chandelier by curtain drapes with his hands tied. This death had taken place in his piano room of his estate. There was also both a nearly full glass and a bottle of alcohol and nearby was a journal containing Mr. Karzai’s thoughts, on a small coffee table near Mr. Karazai’s corpse. According to Mr. Karazai 's journal, it states, his most recent entry showed that he had signs of depression and that his son was the only heir of his that remains.
The Cask of Amontillado and A Good Man is Hard to Find Edgar Allan Poe published “The Cask of Amontillado” in 1846. The story remains his last publication regarded by most as his greatest tale ever. The story is mainly about addiction, torture, murder and revenge set in an immense Italian catacomb situated underground. The story further reflects an expedition into the considerably mysterious and dark recesses of the human psyche. The story is rather scary a theme that the author considers as a great way of expressing both the social and personal anxieties over war, bullies, parents, children, drugs, and sex.
INTRODUCTION Acetylene discovered by Edmund chemist in 1836 Who known it as a "new combination of hydrogen".. In 1860 it was made by a new technique by passing over red hot tube, vapours of organic compounds (methanol, ethanol, etc.) by Marcellin Berthelot . He also found that ethyne can be produced or formed by sparking electricity through mixed cyanogens and hydrogen gases . 1.1 USES: Acetylene (C2H2 ) is extremely reactive , having commercial importanc organic compound. it's employed in Fusion welding (process of joining metallic parts).Acetylene is employed as a primarily staple for the synthesis of no of organic chemicals .
Boyle also thought that air was not a part of the four elements, just one of the essential things needed for life. Boyle used a closed j-shaped tube, and poured mercury in one side as he forced on the other side, and the air contracted under the pressure of the mercury. After repeating the experiment and using different amounts of mercury under controlled conditions, he found that the pressure of gas changes depending on the volume occupied by it. A French physicist named Edme Mariotte also discovered the law, but in 1679, which is why the law is sometimes referred to as the Boyle-Mariotte law.
The exact value of Pi has remained a mystery since ancient times. Mathematicians, who have been trying to determine the value of Pi can only come closer and closer to the
this shows that most of the common day materials and electronics can be traced back to the time when Thomas Edison was inventing when he was just 16. Edison invented the automatic reaper. This allowed for people to
