Calculus Careers And Quotes Other specific careers that utilize Calculus and higher math are Biologist, Computer Programmer (real time), Aerospace Engineer, Air quotes for Calculus. http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/2619/jobquot.html
Extractions: Many jobs deal with rates and how they change or how they are effected under certain conditions. Calculus examines this change in a rate, and is used in a variety of engineering and science careers. Physics, many other branches of science, and all branches of engineering use calculus theories to solve practical problems. For example, an airplane designer uses principles from aerodynamics, a branch of physics, to help him design an airplane wing. He uses mathematical equations to help him find how the wing will react under various conditions. Calculus gives the designer the means to derive the equations from the principles of aerodynamics. Other specific careers that utilize Calculus and higher math are: Biologist, Computer Programmer (real time), Aerospace Engineer, Air Quality Engineer, Chemical Engineer, Electronic Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Microwave Engineer, and Research Physicist. "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." -Albert Einstein

Quotes: Science, Math, Etc. Science, math, etc. All I ask of my body is that it carry around my head. Thomas Alva Edison (18471931). An engineer, a physicist http://patrifriedman.com/quotes/geek_nerd.html
Extractions: Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician find themselves in an anecdote, indeed an anecdote quite similar to many that you have no doubt already heard. After some observations and rough calculations the engineer realizes the situation and starts laughing. A few minutes later the physicist understands too and chuckles to himself happily as he now has enough experimental evidence to publish a paper. This leaves the mathematician somewhat perplexed, as he had observed right away that he was the subject of an anecdote, and deduced quite rapidly the presence of humour from similar anecdotes, but considers this anecdote to be too trivial a corollary to be significant, let alone funny. A physical fellow named Fisk

MATH 25 - Quotes math 25 FALL 1998. quotes OF THE DAY. 25 September 1998 mathematics is the queen of sciences, and the theory of numbers is the queen of mathematics. Karl http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~hilbert/97-99/m25f98/public_html/m25quotes.html
Extractions: 25 September 1998: "Mathematics is the queen of sciences, and the theory of numbers is the queen of mathematics." Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) 28 September 1998: "God made the integers, all the rest is the work of man." Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891) 30 September 1998: "Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show." Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) 2 October 1998: "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor less." Humpty Dumpty in Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There 5 October 1998: "It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great ease which it has lent to computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of the achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity." Pierre-Simon de Laplace (1749-1827)

Mathematics - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Metamath. A site and a language, that formalize math from its foundations. 1 quotes by Serbian mathetmacian Jasna Madjarevic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics
Extractions: Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change , and space ; more informally, one might say it is the study of 'figures and numbers'. In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using logic and mathematical notation ; other views are described in Philosophy of mathematics . Mathematics might be seen as a simple extension of spoken and written languages, with an extremely precisely defined vocabulary and grammar, for the purpose of describing and exploring physical and conceptual relationships. The specific structures that are investigated by mathematicians often have their origin in the natural sciences , most commonly in physics , but mathematicians also define and investigate structures for reasons purely internal to mathematics, because the structures may provide, for instance, a unifying generalization for several subfields, or a helpful tool for common calculations. Finally, many mathematicians study the areas they do for purely aesthetic reasons, viewing mathematics as an art form rather than as a practical or applied science . Some mathematicians like to refer to their subject as "the Queen of Sciences". Mathematics is often abbreviated to math (in American English ) or maths (in British English Table of contents 1 Overview and history of mathematics

Extractions: Highlights of math news from science literature and the current media Math in the Media Archive November 2001 Chinese characters can help you learn geometry. This is a tentative conclusion of a study published in the January Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology and picked up in the September 28, 2001 Chronicle of Higher Education . In the study, run by John Nuttall (Boston College), Chieh Li (Northeastern) and Shuwen Zhao (Capital Normal, Beijing), Chinese-speaking Chinese-American students who wrote Chinese had their SAT math scores compared with those who did not. The male character-writers averaged 28 points better than those who could only speak (643 vs. 615), while the female differential was even larger: 703 vs. 629. According to the Chronicle , the authors ``speculate that the linearity of writing English does not allow children to develop the same spatial-reasoning skills as writing Chinese, which involves both left-right and up-down thinking.''

Extractions: The biologist can push it back to the original protist, and the chemist can push it back to the crystal, but none of them touch the real question of why or how the thing began at all. The astronomer goes back untold million of years and ends in gas and emptiness, and then the mathematician sweeps the whole cosmos into unreality and leaves one with mind as the only thing of which we have any immediate apprehension. Cogito ergo sum, ergo omnia esse videntur. All this bother, and we are no further than Descartes. Have you noticed that the astronomers and mathematicians are much the most cheerful people of the lot? I suppose that perpetually contemplating things on so vast a scale makes them feel either that it doesn't matter a hoot anyway, or that anything so large and elaborate must have some sense in it somewhere.
What Is Mathematics?,a Voluntary Web Poll math·e·mat·ics n. (used with a sing. verb). Latest on CTK Exchange. math Glossary on CTK website Posted by 1mathworld24 1 messages 0334 PM, Mar01-04. http://www.cut-the-knot.org/math_intro.shtml
Extractions: Quotations collected below all reflect on perception of Mathematics by various people over a few hundred years history. Proclus (412-485) had this to say: The Pythagoreans considered all mathematical sciences to be divided into four parts: one half they marked off as concerned with quantity, the other half with magnitude; and each of these they posited as twofold. A quantity can be considered in regard to its character by itself or in its relation to another quantity, magnitudes as either stationary or in motion. Arithmetic, then, studies quantities as such, music the relations between quantities, geometry magnitude at rest, spherics ( astronomy, A.B. ) magnitude inherently moving. Obviously, in the 2500 years since Pythagoras when music was still considered a mathematical science, both human perception of and our attitude towards, mathematics underwent a tremendous metamorphosis.

5points Art Mathematics Science - Quotations (And rather than emailing us to complain that we only quote men, why not send us your suggestions, we re looking for great quotes from women too.). http://www.5points.com/library/5quotes.htm
Extractions: These observations by noted visual artists, mathematicians and scientists are ones with which we feel great sympathy. They may help begin to articulate the spirit that motivates our efforts. (And rather than emailing us to complain that we only quote men, why not send us your suggestions , we're looking for great quotes from women too.) Those who assert that the mathematical sciences say nothing of the beautiful or the good are in error. For these sciences say and prove a great deal about them; if they do not expressly mention them, but prove attributes which are their results or definitions, it is not true that they tell us nothing about them. The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree. Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.), Metaphysics , Bk. XIII, Ch.3, 1078a, 33 ff. It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment... If one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress. If there is not complete agreement between the results of one's work and experiment, one should not allow oneself to be too discouraged, because the discrepancy may well be due to minor features that are not properly taken into account and that will get cleared up with further development of the theory. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac Scientific American , May 1963 The ideas in the Large Glass are more important than the actual realization. The "Large Glass" constitutes a rehabilitation of perspective. For me, it's a mathematical, scientific perspective, based on calculations and on dimensions. Everything was becoming conceptual, that is, it depended on things other than the retina. What we were interested in at the time was the fourth dimension. Simply, I thought of the idea of a projection, of an invisible fourth dimension, something you couldn't see with your eyes. "The Bride" in the "Large Glass" was based on this, as if it were the projection of a four-dimensional object. I called "The Bride" a "delay in glass." A tactile sensation which envelopes every side of an object approaches a tactile sensation of four dimensions. Consequently the act of love as tactile sublimation could be felt as a physical interpretation of the 4th dimension.
