Mathematics Physical Sciences Limiting Infinity Ever heard of Aleph-nought or the Hilbert’s Hotel and your inquisition got the better of you? Then probably you’re acquainted with infinity and have raised certain perplexing questions about it in classrooms or on math discussions forums. For example, how can you enclose infinity? Can the infinity find the ‘finitude’ somewhere? If yes, then, would […] Written by Shumail Hassan 2018-07-222018-08-09 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Mathematics Leonhard Euler: Uncelebrated Yet Immortal and Everywhere Leonhard Euler is a name as worthy of recognition as Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, and Pythagoras. The last four names are present in sci-math textbooks at every level. However, Leonhard Euler, the most brilliant and the most proliferous mathematician of all time, remains invisible. He is the person behind Euler’s constant, Euler’s polyhedron […] Written by Hafsa Ahsan 2018-07-022018-10-13 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Mathematics Surfaces in Geometry Geometry is considered as an indigenous branch of mathematics that evolved in the Greeks Hellenistic period, as a practical way for dealing with lengths, areas, and volumes. By the 3rd century BC, Euclid gave an axiomatic frame to study geometry, namely the Euclidean Geometry. Euclid’s work set a standard for many centuries to follow.

Mathematics Physical Sciences Equations that Rule our World Equations are made up of intricate or simple connections of numerals and variables. They are a simplified representation of a relationship which can be defined by a mathematical statement. The persistence behind the work of previous mathematicians, physicists, and philosophers in narrowing down complex relations to a sequence of symbols that we can use for […] Written by Maryam Ali 2018-06-042018-06-07 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
