Questions and answers for high-school level math questions are located at this site. You can also ask Dr. Math your own question. If you cant find your answer there, check out the College-level questions and answers. WebMath: The Internet site that solves your math problems This site has many sample math problems and solutions for high school level math. The types of problems covered fall into these categories: everyday math, numbers, fractions, graphing, simplifying expressions, polynomials, factoring polynomials, quadratic equations, word problems, and even a little physics. DAU Math Refresher A great site with Algebra and elementary Calculus help. This site also has online tests you can take after completing the math tutorials. GCSE Mathematics Tutorials This page inclues short, but useful tutorials on negative numbers, probability, and basic trigonometry. The tutorials are well explained and laid out usin Java. This site also has math questions on algebra, functions, graphs, probability, and trigonometry. Daves Math Tables This is not a tutorial, but its a great way to look up math identities and such. Math subjects covered include general math, algebra, geometry, trig, statistics, and calculus.

Back to the Table of Contents Biographies of Mathematicians - Pythagoras Lesson Overview Early Years His Life His Work Music ... Conclusion Introduction Pythagoras was born on the island of Samos, Greece in 569 BC, and died about 500 BC in Metapontum, Lucania. He traveled extensively in Egypt, learning math, astronomy and music. Pythagoras was also a healer, a wrestler, and was politically active. Pythagoras was a Greek Mathematician born in 569 B.C. who studied math, music, and astronomy. His Life Pythagoras left Samos in disgust for its ruler Polycrates. He settled in Cretona, a Greek colony in southern Italy. There he founded a movement with religious, political and philosophical goals. To facilitate his movement, he created a school where his followers lived and worked. He had many devoted followers who were called Pythagoreans. They had to adhere to certain strict rules. Obedience, silence, abstinence from food, simplicity in dress and possessions, and the habit of frequent self examination were required of the Pythagoreans. They also believed in immortality and transmigration of souls. Pythagoras created a strict order where his followers worked with Pythagoras to make new discoveries and theories.

Years later Terquem remarked, "A candidate of superior intelligence is lost with an examiner of inferior intelligence." However, Galois found a mathematics teacher, Louis Richard, and really started studying and doing mathematics. His first paper, on continued fractions, was published when he was 17. At 18, Galois reapplied to the Poly technique, and again the examination went badly. Finally, during the oral part of the exam, he lost patience with one of the examiners and threw the eraser at him. It was a hit, but Galois could never apply there again. At 19, Galois attended the university and wrote three original papers on the theory of algebraic equations. He submitted them to the Academy of Sciences for the competition in mathematics. The Secretary of the Academy took them home to read, but then died before writing a report about them and the papers were never found. Galois was understandably upset: "Genius is condemned by a malicious social organization to an eternal denial of justice in favor of fawning mediocrity." In 1830 the French masses revolted, and Galois was a staunch supporter. The director of the school locked the students in the school during the fighting and then expelled Galois for a public letter he wrote condemning the director. Galois tried to start his own school of mathematics, but got no students, so he joined the National Guard "If a carcass is needed to stir up the people, I will donate mine." Galois was jailed for supposedly threatening the King, but was found 'not guilty' by a jury. Finally he was convicted and sentenced to 6 months in jail for "illegally wearing a uniform."

A Tour of the USMA Library For anyone studying the history of mathematics, it is crucial that you learn to use the resources in the library. This web page indicates the types of things that we will look at during our library tour. This page has been posted to assist anyone whose memory is faulty. We begin at the Mathematics Department Library. When we enter we immediately notice the display about BG (Ret) Jack Polin who served as Head of the department from 1974 to 1985. For our use, undoubtedly the most important work in this library is the Biographical dictionary of mathematicians : reference biographies from the Dictionary of scientific biography. Nota Bene: If you click on the call numbers in this document and then click on it again on the page which appears, you will get the full reference in the USMA library catalog. This is useful because it contains biographical information about deceased mathematicians and also describes their work. This work in four volumes is a subset (only the mathematicians are chosen) of a work in the reference section of the main library: Dictionary of scientific biography Charles Coulston Gillispie, editor in chief.

Famous Astronomers Astronomers are listed chronologically. To find more information about these scientists, please visit Famous Astronomers and Astrophysicists and click on that page's links. Many of the astronomers on this page were also physicists, mathematicians, and philosophers, but their contributions listed here are limited to those specific to astronomy and astrophysics. Thales (624-547 B.C., Ionian) was a Greek philosopher who traveled widely in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and brought astronomical records from these cultures back to Greece. He believed that the Earth is a disk floating on an endless ocean. Legend has it that he correctly predicted a solar eclipse in the year 585 B.C. Anaximander (611-547 B.C., Ionian) was a Greek philosopher who made the first detailed maps of the Earth and the sky. He knew that the Earth was round, and believed that it was free-floating and unsupported. He measured its circumference, and was the first to put forward the idea that celestial bodies make full circles in their orbits. One of his greatest contributions was the fact that he was the first to conceptualize space as having depth. Pythagoras (569-475 B.C., Ionian)

Welcome to the Women in Mathematics (WIM) Home Page Women in Math (WIM) is an organization at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP). WIM is dedicated to serving the needs of women mathematicians at UMCP. In order to fulfill that purpose, WIM members have organized a number of events. Two ongoing activities are monthly lunch get-togethers and biweekly graduate women talks . We also have an electronic newsletter for our members. This WWW page is WIM's latest endeavor. It is our goal that this page will include information or links to information in the following categories: Scholarships, Conferences, etc. Women in Mathematics Women in Computer Science, Physics, or Engineering Advice for Graduate Students in Math or Other Scientific Disciplines ... Pictures are now available from the 2nd Annual WIM picnic held in June! It was a great chance for students, faculty and staff from our department to talk over sub sandwiches and watermelon. I will always be on the lookout for new links to add. If you know of any, please let me know by sending e-mail to me at wim@math.umd.edu

In spite of years of ill health and a short life, Pascal accomplished quite a bit: he published a significant work on the geometry of conical sections when he was only sixteen; he invented a calculating machine by the time he was nineteen; he and Pierre de Fermat founded the modern theory of probability; he described the principle that is the basis for the hydraulic press (called Pascal's Law); and he proved that there was a vacuum above the atmosphere. Pascal had a religious conversion in the 1650s and devoted himself to religion instead of science. He is famous for what is called Pascal's Wager , and for the remark that history would have been different had Cleopatra 's nose been differently shaped.
