The role mathematics has played in changing the world has been very much underplayed. This slide was made with intention to show the inventions of some of the greatest mathematicians who have graced the surface of this Earth
What impact did Pythagoras have on EuclidSolutionPythagorasP.pdfformaxekochi
What impact did Pythagoras have on Euclid?
Solution
Pythagoras
Probably the most famous name during the development of Greek geometry is Pythagoras, even
if only for the famous law concerning right angled triangles. This mathematician lived in a secret
society which took on a semi-religious mission. From this, the Pythagoreans developed a number
of ideas and began to develop trigonometry. The Pythagoreans added a few new axioms to the
store of geometrical knowledge.
1)The sum of the internal angles of a triangle equals two right angles 180*.
2)The sum of the external angles of a triangle equals four right angles 360*
3)The sum of the interior angles of any polygon equals 2n-4 right angles, where n is the number
of sides.
4)The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon equals four right angles, however many sides.
5)The three polygons, the triangle, hexagon, and square completely fill the space around a point
on a plane - six triangles, four squares and three hexagons. In other words, you can tile an area
with these three shapes, without leaving gaps or having overlaps.
6)For a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of
the other two sides.
Most of these rules are instantly familiar to most students, as basic principles of geometry and
trigonometry. One of his pupils, Hippocrates, took the development of geometry further. He was
the first to start using geometrical techniques in other areas of maths, such as solving quadratic
equations, and he even began to study the process of integration. He solved the problem of
Squaring a Lune and showed that the ratio of the areas of two circles equalled the ratio between
the squares of the radii of the circles.
Euclid
Alongside Pythagoras, Euclid is a very famous name in the history of Greek geometry. He
gathered the work of all of the earlier mathematicians and created his landmark work, \'The
Elements,\' surely one of the most published books of all time. In this work, Euclid set out the
approach for geometry and pure mathematics generally, proposing that all mathematical
statements should be proved through reasoning and that no empirical measurements were
needed. This idea of proof still dominates pure mathematics in the modern world.
The reason that Euclid was so influential is that his work is more than just an explanation of
geometry or even of mathematics. The way in which he used logic and demanded proof for every
theorem shaped the ideas of western philosophers right up until the present day. Great
philosopher mathematicians such as Descartes and Newton presented their philosophical works
using Euclid\'s structure and format, moving from simple first principles to complicated
concepts. Abraham Lincoln was a fan, and the US Declaration of Independence used Euclid\'s
axiomatic system.
Apart from the Elements, Euclid also wrote works about astronomy, mirrors, optics, perspective
and music theory, although many of his works are lost to posterity. Certainl.

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.
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

• The word X was coined by Walter Baade and Fritz
Zwicky in 1931 in the lectures held at Caltech by Baade
and Zwicky, then used publicly in 1933 at a meeting of
the American Physical Society.
• The earliest recorded X, X 185, was viewed by Chinese
astronomers in 185 AD. The brightest recorded X was
the X 1006, which was described in detail by Chinese
and Islamic astronomers, while X 1572 and X 1604, the
latest to be observed with the naked eye in the Milky
Way galaxy.
• By 1938, the hyphen in the word X had been lost and
the modern name was in use.
• Obtaining a good sample of X to study requires regular
monitoring of many galaxies, as they're very "rare", and
often require extensive research work to gain knowledge
about X.

• The earliest reference to X can perhaps be said to occur
in the work of the Greek mathematician Hero of
Alexandria in the 1st century AD, where in his
"Stereometrica" he considers, apparently in error, the
volume of an impossible frustum of a pyramid in his
calculations, although "negative quantities were not
conceived" of in Hellenistic mathematics.
• The interest to study X surged in the 16th century,
courtesy extensive research by two Italian
mathematicians Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia and
Gerolamo Cardano.
• The present form of study of X was greatly influenced by
Mathematicians Abraham De Moivre and Leonhard
Euler.
