Sophie Germain prime Essays

Madeleine Sophie was born prematurely in a massive fire on December 12th, 1779. She was considered very fragile and was very tiny, so early the next morning she was baptised in a church. Since there had been no time to call the prearranged godparents, Louis, Madeleine’s older brother and a local woman going to church stood in as godparents. Madeleine Sophie’s family were financially comfortable-which meant they weren’t in debt but weren’t overly wealthy either. Her father Jacques was a cooper and

In my research paper I will be talking about Marie Sophie Germain, a famous mathematician born and raised in Paris, France. I chose Sophie Germain because I believe that female historical figures deserve the equal amount of recognition that males receive. She also caught my attention because she had no support at all, and because of that would receive education secretly. I believe that Germain has taught us that even though we will encounter obstacles on our path, with determination and perseverance

Contrary to common belief, being a hero is not scoring the winning touchdown at a football game. A hero is someone who fights for the well-being of others, even if it means dying.

Machiavelli’s fourteenth century work called The Prince was full of information, and advice on how to be a proper ruler over any domain.

Modern governments have a president or prime minister as their head of state, with dozens of representatives and ambassadors to do the job that a king, or prince, usually did alone. The fact that there are very few principalities left in the modern world shows Machiavelli’s work is obsolete.

The war impacted the country’s political decisions with their recently obtained autonomy, a boom in the economy as more goods began to be bought and sold, and the roles of women in society drastically changed compared prior to the war.
