CUBE
Thus Nicomedes invented the conchoid (qv); Diodes the cissoid (qv); dinostratus studiedthe quadratrix invented by Hippias; all these curves furnished solutions
http://82.1911encyclopedia.org/C/CU/CUBE.htm

Extractions: CUBE All these solutions were condemned by Plato on the ground that they were mechanical and not geometrical, i.e. they were not effected by means of circles and lines. However, no proper geometrical solution, in Platos sense, was obtained; in fact it is now generally agreed that, with such a restriction, the problem is insoluble. The pursuit of mechanical methods furnished a stimulus to the study of mechanical loci, for example. the locus of a point carried on a rod which is caused to move according to a definite rule. Thus Nicomedes invented the conchoid (q.v.); Diodes the cissoid (q.v.); Dinostratus studied the quadratrix invented by Hippias; all these curves furnished solutions, as is also the case with the trisectrix, a special form, of Pascals limaon (q.v.). These problems were also attacked by the Arabian mathematicians; Tobit ben Korra (836901) is credited with a solution, while Abul Gud solved it by means of a parabola and an equilateral hyperbola. In algebra, the cube of a quantity is the quantity multiplied by itself twice, i.e. if abe the quantity aXaXa(=af) is its cube. Similarly the cube root of a quantity is another quantity which when multiplied by itself twice gives the original quantity; thus ai is the cube root of a (see ARITHMETIC and ALGEBRA). A cubic equation is one in which the highest power of the unknown is the cube (see EQUATION); similarly, a cubic curve has an equation containing no term of a power higher than the third, the powers of a compound term being added together.

Extractions: web hosting domain names email addresses Duncan Graham-Rowe Astronomers are taking the search for somewhere quiet to work to new extremes with a plan to put a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. The advantage of this unusual location is that the Moon would act as a massive shield, protecting the telescope against radio emissions from Earth. Astronomers could also listen to low radio frequencies that don't penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. Claudio Maccone, an astronomer at the Centre for Astrodynamics in Turin, Italy, is assessing the concept for the International Academy of Astronautics. He even has his eye on a plot of lunar real estate. A 100-kilometre-wide crater called Daedalus the Moon . Maccone is due to present the results of his study to the International Astronautical Congress next October. If the plans are approved, the first step will be to design a satellite probe to orbit the Moon and check there really is a quiet zone. Jupiter's giant light show SOMETHING strange is happening on Jupiter. Its magnetic field extends hundreds of times further out into space than previously thought, creating auroras that make the Earth's northern lights seem feeble in comparison. Jupiter is the giant of the Solar System, more than a thousand times as massive as Earth. In January 2001, the combined power of the Cassini and Galileo space probes, the Chandra X-ray telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope were all trained on the Jovian magnetosphere - the region controlled by the planet's magnetic field. Magnetic field lines fan out from a planet like the lines of iron filings from the poles of a bar magnet. Auroras are caused by ions zipping along these lines, so researchers can use the location of auroras to track how far out into space the planet's magnetic field lines can trap ions from the solar wind.

Extractions: Greece in the 5 th Century BC Three of the larger assignments completed by Thor Carden in the Fall of 1995 Antigone and Ismene at Colonus and Thebes The Armor Of Achilles Chronology of Ancient Greek History October 12, 1995 Dr. Race, Antigone and in Oedipus at Colonus . I want to find some quotes or actions that support that their characters were the same in both and some that support that they were different. (if possible) Hopefully I will be able to reach some kind of conclusion once I have studied it in more detail. If it turns out to be too much I will just concentrate on Antigone. If it turns out to be too little I'll add a look at their relationship in the two plays. Lonu means knee. It might be that Antigone means "against kneeling" or "not willing to give in." Iso s means "equal" and men means "certainly" but I have no idea whether it would be appropriate to stick them together to make "certainly equal" or something. Menuo means "to make known." That word seems to have more to do with Ismene's character. Being ignorant of Greek I can only speculate, but it is interesting. I may find a more appropriate lexicon if I get time and see if I can dig it out. Thor Carden Antigone and Ismene at Colonus and Thebes By Thor F. Carden

Extractions: Subject: Re: [HM] Origin of Quadratic Author: ssgl@math.rochester.edu Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 14:02:08 -0500 "Quadratus" is the Latin word for a square; the Latin word for four is "quattuor". I do not know how "quadr-" became associated with "four"; though "quadrangle" I believe occurs in Shakespeare but I would guess that quadrangle and quadrilateral originally were geometric figures that had the same number of angles or sides as a square. Usually in mathematics "quadr-" refers to a square; for example, the "quadratrix of Hippias and Dinostratus" was used to "square the circle." In German, I note that the German word for a "square" is "Quadrat" , and for a "square root", "Quadratwurzel". Sanford Segal The Math Forum
