Science and contribution of mathematics in its developmentFernando Alcoforado
Mathematics is the science of logical reasoning that has its development linked to research, interest in discovering the new and investigate highly complex situations. The escalation of Mathematics began in ancient times when it was aroused the interest by the calculations and numbers according to the need of man to relate the natural events to their daily lives. Today, Mathematics is the most important science of the modern world because it is present in all scientific areas.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. René Descartes (1596-1650 AD)
Father of Modern Philosophy, René Descartes has been
accredited for his many mathematical contributions too.
His most known contribution to math is in the field of analytical
geometry. In his publication, Discourse on Method (Discours de
la methode), specifically its appendices on La Geometrie achieved
a milestone in compiling the history of mathematics. Moreover,
the book also introduced standard algebraic notation, use of
lowercase a, b and c for known quantities and x, y and z for
unknown quantities.
4. Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665 AD)
Although a lawyer by profession, Pierre de Fermat was a mathematician at heart
which led him, along with René Descartes, to become one of the two leading
mathematicians of the seventeenth century. He is famous for the factorization
method named Fermat’s factorization method and discovering a unique method for
finding the greatest and smallest ordinates in curved lines.
Looking to the works of Diophantus, Fermat played an influential role in
infinitesimal calculus, probability, optics and analytic geometry. His ground breaking
research was however in the discovery of new patterns in numbers – something
which had defeated mathematicians since centuries.
5. Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
Philosopher, physicist, inventor, writer and mathematician, Blaise Pascal is known
for his invention of the mechanical calculator.
Pascal also contributed greatly to other research areas such as probability theory,
projective geometry, cycloid and the arithmetic triangle. Along with his colleague
Fermat, Pascal developed the foundations for mathematical theory of probabilities.
In the natural and applied sciences, Pascal worked on concepts such as fluids,
pressure and vacuum. It is in his honour that a programming language has been
named and the SI unit of pressure. Other such contributions which carry his name
include the Pascal triangle, Pascal’s law, and Pascal’s wager.
6. Andre Weil (1906-1998)
French mathematician, traveler and linguist, Andre Weil was an influential figure in
the field of mathematics during the 20th century. Being a child prodigy, Weil took
up mathematics as a very early addiction. He was a lecturer for all of his life and
taught in Gottengen, Rome, Paris as well as Aligarh Muslim University in India
where he was deeply inspired by Hinduism and Sanskrit writings.
7. Andre Weil (1906-1998)
Andre made significant contributions in the field of mathematics. His most
important achievement was when he discovered a connection between number
theory and algebraic geometry. Moreover, he developed a theory on algebraic curves
based on his study of Diophantine equations. In the field of rational numbers, he
introduced a topological ring known as the adele ring in algebraic number theory.
Weil also laid the groundwork for classical theory of quadratic forms with his
development of the Weil representation.
He remained professor at Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton throughout
his lifetime and was also an honorary member of American National Academy of
Sciences, London Mathematical Society, the Royal Society of London and the
French Academy of Sciences.
8. Joseph Fourier (1768-1830)
Joseph Fourier was pioneering mathematician and physicist, famous for developing
the ‘Fourier Series’.
In his paper, The Analytic Theory of Heat (1822), Fourier presented using Newton’s
law of cooling; his research on how the conduction of heat in solid bodies could be
analyzed using infinite mathematical series, called the Fourier Series. He further
applied the same investigation to apply it to heat transfer and vibrations. This was the
first exactly correct theory based on heat diffusion.
Fourier is also famously known for discovering the greenhouse effect explaining how
the Earth should ideally be much cooler than it is and the reason for this heat was
incoming solar radiation
