Extractions: Theano was a mathematician. She was one of Pythagoras's pupils as a young girl. However, she soon became his wife. While they were married they started the first coeducational university. This school was based on equality between the sexes. She took over the school after Pythagoras died in a fire. She and her two daughters ran and taught at the school. However, Theano did more than run the school. She discovered her own rule. This rule is what is not called golden geometry. She worked on a formula to derive the golden rectangle. The information that she gave to mathematics allowed Pascal to make his triangle and Fibanocci to derive his series. Theano is one woman that led the way in mathematics but is not recognized.

The person who constructed this website went overboard on the graphics by having pictures in the background, animation in the foreground, and multiple fancy fonts. Visually, the colors are not complimentary and may be a problem for a person who is visually impaired. On a good note, the site is very informative and all of the links I tried were running. This quick loading and easy to use website is visually stimulating and can be used by children of any age.

Extractions: Home Red Hat Linux 7.2: The Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide Prev Next Before Red Hat Linux can start up on your system, it must be told to boot by special instructions placed on a boot loader , code that exists on your primary hard drive or other media device that knows how to start the Linux kernel. If you are using an x86 system that only boots Red Hat Linux, and if you only use one version of the Linux kernel, then the exact process used by the boot loader to start Red Hat Linux is not all that important. The Red Hat Linux installation program allows you to quickly and easily configure the boot loader in your hard drive's Master Boot Record (MBR) to load the operating system. However, if you wish to have the choice to boot from multiple Linux kernels or other operating systems, then knowledge of the method used by Red Hat Linux to provide the necessary options to you, as well as an understanding of the boot process and what to change, is essential. This chapter discusses GRUB, the method Red Hat Linux uses to launch operating systems on x86 systems, and looks at various command and configuration options that allow you to control the boot process.

Extractions: Human beings are inquisitive by nature. This is particularly true of scientists who are prone to asking "what, where, when, who and how?". Sometimes all in the same sentence. This continual questioning seems to start at an early age too. As soon as were able we are taking our favourite toys to pieces, often accompanied by a kind of "Pa-doing!" sound as a hidden spring sends parts of the toy to every corner of the room. I well remember the state that my early chemistry experiments left mothers curtains, and the consternation that my early experiments in manned flight caused. Fortunately, many of us survive childhood to pursue careers in the sciences. I am constantly reminded of our inquisitive nature by our trainee Medical Physicists. For them, everything is new in their voyage of discovery and understanding - but they know that you have covered that part of the voyage before and could you explain just why x is proportional to y^2? Sadly, if the answer to their question is non-trivial they rarely get a straight answer, just directions so that they can discover the answer for themselves. I have always admired inventors. Take the inventor of the vacuum cleaner, Hubert Cecil Booth. Watching cleaners in a railway carriage blow dust around he thought that a good suck would be less messy. Not slow to experiment, he put a handkerchief over his mouth and sucked hard on an upholstered chair. This worked so well that he very nearly choked to death.

Extractions: Research compiled by the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections and the Cornell News Service. Andrew Dickson White (1832-1918, President from 1866-1885) A radical idea in American education was born when Andrew Dickson White and Ezra Cornell crossed paths in the New York State Senate. White was a worldly intellectual whose dream was to create a "truly great University" that would "afford an asylum for Science where truth shall be taught for truth's sake. . . ." He and Cornell, a farmer and inventor who made his fortune developing the telegraph system with Samuel F.B. Morse and Hiram Sibley, agreed the new institution would be nonsectarian, a controversial stance for the time. White and Cornell successfully politicked to obtain the benefits of the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 for their new university. On Feb. 7, 1865, White introduced into the State Senate a bill which established Cornell University as an institution for "the cultivation of the arts and sciences and of literature, and the instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts and military tactics, and in all knowledge." Gov. Reuben E. Fenton signed the bill that constitutes Cornell's charter two months later on April 27. White was largely responsible for recruiting faculty to come to the new institution, and as president, he was instrumental in the development of the university's library and its other collections by his own purchases and through encouraging the gifts of others. He traveled in Europe to purchase collections and to learn about the newest innovations in technical education.
