Apollonius was born in Perga, Pamphylia which is today known as Murtina which is now in Antalya, Turkey. At the time of Apollonius, Perga was a center of culture and a place of worship. He lived during the latter part of the golden age of Greek Mathematics.

Constructs a formula using the tangent rule of a triangle. This equation can then be used to calculate the value of an angle when kicked from a certain distance along the perpendicular line.

The mean is calculated by adding all results, then dividing by the number of results. Here the mean height is seen as approximately 175cm. The mode is the most frequent result (167cm) and the median is the very middle value of the dataset, here seen as 171cm.

A mathematical investigation was conducted to determine the word lengths of articles in a tabloid and in a broadsheet newspaper. Using articles in The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mail and collecting results in a stem and leaf diagram, the investigation tests the hypothesis that articles in the broadsheet will generally have longer sentences than articles in the tabloid, and that this is caused by greater amounts of detail and factual evidence in the broadsheet articles.

The essay is about the life and times of Democritus. An ancient mathematician and philosopher who came up with Atomism.

Discusses the development of mathematics in ancient Egypt, focusing on the use of hieroglyphs, the decimal system, and hieratic writing and numerals to demonstrate that the Egyptians made notable contributions to modern day understandings of mathematics.

It is hard to exaggerate Sir Isaac Newton's contribution to science. He has single handedly explored every aspect of the mathematical and scientific fields known to the world.

Essay briefly describes the life of a mathematician named Johannes Kepler. He made many famous discoveries and his work has a great impact today.

Essay provides a brief description regarding John F. Nash Jr.

This essay is about Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. It is less of a biography and is more focused on his works and the influence he has had on modern calculus. This essay also includes information about the controversy of the discovery of calculus between Isaac Newton and Leibniz.

This is about the mathematical contributions and historical man named Leonhard Euler.

Math manipulatives have been around for years, but are now becoming increasingly popular amongst educators. Math manipulatives include anything from buckets of pattern blocks, trays of tiles, and colored cubes to virtual manipulatives, or manipulatives colored and cut out by the students themselves.

Essay examines the following topics:

• The relationship between height and weight of the students
• The relationship between the IQ and ages of the students
• The relationship between IQ and the results obtained at Key Stage 2 for the students.

Attempts to conduct an experiment relating to how the wing length of a whirlybird effects its time of flight. Also to model quadratic equations that can describe the shape and interpret the meaning of the plotted data, lengths and average times.

Newtons Mathematical Accomplishments

Pythagoras is known as one of the world's first pure mathematicians. He is also considered one of the founding fathers of Geometry and was the inventor of the Pythagorean Theroem. Pythagoras believed that all relations could be reduced to number relations.

Explores logical reasoning and scientific methods used in research. References the book, Why People Believe Weird Things.

An explanation and facts about the mathematical Law of Sines, which is used to provide a relationship between angles and sides in a triangle.

This essay is about the life and times of John Wallis, and his contributions to the world of mathematics.

While statistics are useful in aiding our understanding of various subjects, they can also be used as a tool to manipulate and deceive people as they form perceptions and ideas about a particular subject. It is therefore important to be able to test the validity of statistical evidence that is presented to us and to determine whether to accept such evidence.

Attempts to determine an appropriate parabolic model that fits the data collected of whirlybird wing length vs. time. Uses first principles. Also attempts to find out which wing length would produce longest flight time.

Provides a discussion of Zeno's Paradoxes and a description of how they work. Gives biographical detail on the life of Zeno of Elea.
