Boolean algebra Boolean algebra was introduced by George Boole in his first book The Mathematical Analysis of Logic (1847), and set forth more fully in his An Investigation of the Laws of Thought (1854).[1] According to Huntington the term "Boolean algebra" was first suggested by Sheffer in 1913.[2] Boolean algebra has been fundamental in the development of digital electronics, and is provided for in all modern programming languages. It is also used in set theory and statistics.[3] History[edit] In the 1930s, while studying switching circuits, Claude Shannon observed that one could also apply the rules of Boole's algebra in this setting, and he introduced switching algebra as a way to analyze and design circuits by algebraic means in terms of logic gates. Values[edit] As with elementary algebra, the purely equational part of the theory may be developed without considering explicit values for the variables.[12] Operations[edit] Basic operations[edit] The basic operations of Boolean algebra are as follows.

Choose Your Best Way Lesson from IEEE’s TryComputing.org. Click HERE for PDF of full lesson from TryEngineering.org. Summary In this lesson on using mathematical modeling to solve real-world problems, middle and high school students work in teams to build a graph-theory model of their city’s map, then use it to find the best route to school, evaluate their solutions, and present their reflections to the class. Grade level: 7 -12 Time: Two 45-minute sessions Engineering connection Graph theory – the study of graphs – is a visual way to represent or model relationships between objects that is used computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Learning objectives After doing this activity, students should be able to: Understand and develop a mathematical modelApply mathematical modeling and graph theory to solve a problemUnderstand computer algorithmic thinkingWork in teams Learning Standards NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Geometry Standard: Measurement Standard: Problem Solving Standard: 1. 2.

Henri Poincaré French mathematician, physicist, engineer, and philosopher of science Jules Henri Poincaré (,[4] ;[5][6][7] French: [ɑ̃ʁi pwɛ̃kaʁe] ( listen);[8][9] 29 April 1854 – 17 July 1912) was a French mathematician, theoretical physicist, engineer, and philosopher of science. As a mathematician and physicist, he made many original fundamental contributions to pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and celestial mechanics.[11] In his research on the three-body problem, Poincaré became the first person to discover a chaotic deterministic system which laid the foundations of modern chaos theory. Poincaré made clear the importance of paying attention to the invariance of laws of physics under different transformations, and was the first to present the Lorentz transformations in their modern symmetrical form. The Poincaré group used in physics and mathematics was named after him. Life[edit] Education[edit] First scientific achievements[edit] Career[edit] Students[edit] Death[edit] Work[edit]

Teacher Resources If you have used a word processor today, moved your mouse on your laptop, dragged an object around on your smartphone, or highlighted a section of text on your tablet, you can thank Jim Dammann. In 1961 during his second year at IBM and just one year after completing his PhD, Jim created the concept of what today we all take for granted -- the cursor. This idea he documented in utilizing the cursor within word processing operations. After retiring from IBM, Jim went on to inspire future generations of software engineers at Florida Atlantic University.

Alex Faickney Osborn Alex Faickney Osborn (May 24, 1888 – May 5, 1966) was an advertising executive and the author of the creativity technique named brainstorming. Founding of BBDO[edit] In 1919, Osborn joined with Bruce Fairchild Barton and Roy Sarles Durstine to form the BDO advertising agency. Osborn acted as manager of BDO's Buffalo branch. Creativity theorist[edit] Osborn became increasingly active as an author, and published several books on creative thinking. In 1954, Osborn set up the Creative Education Foundation, sustained by the royalties earned from his books. Notable advertising work[edit] Books[edit] A Short Course in Advertising, London, New York: Sir I. Osborn also contributed frequently to trade publications such as Printer's Ink. Family life[edit] On September 15, 1916, he married Helen Coatsworth, the daughter of a wealthy Buffalo lawyer.

Free, Personalized AP Prep for Teachers The College Board, which administers the Advanced Placement program, and Khan Academy, an online nonprofit offering resources and videos, are partnering to create free test-preparation and course materials for teachers and students in every AP subject. “You might say we’re offering every AP teacher a personalized assistant in their classroom,” College Board president David Coleman told Education Week guest blogger Stephen Sawchuk. “We’re giving them an ability throughout the year to show what good enough work is, to have confidence that assignments derived from these materials are at the right level of rigor.” The move builds on a collaboration, launched in 2014, to offer free online resources and tutoring for the SAT college-entrance examination. The new teacher supports, which will roll out in the 2019-20 school year, will include an online dashboard for use in developing customized quizzes, homework, classroom activities, and AP practices.

Arya (Buddhism) The term is used in the following contexts: The Four Noble Truths are called the catvāry ārya satyāni (Sanskrit) or cattāri ariya saccāni (Pali).The Noble Eightfold Path is called the ārya mārga (Sanskrit, also āryāṣṭāṅgikamārga) or ariya magga (Pāli).Buddha's Dharma and Vinaya are the ariyassa dhammavinayo.In Buddhist texts, the āryas are those who have the Buddhist śīla (Pāli sīla, meaning "virtue") and follow the Buddhist path.Buddhists who have attained one of the four levels of awakening (stream-entry, once-returner, non-returner, arahant) are themselves called ariya puggalas (Arya persons). In the context of the four noble truths, contemporary scholars explain the meaning of ārya as follows: The word "noble," or ariya, is used by the Buddha to designate a particular type of person, the type of person which it is the aim of his teaching to create. In the discourses the Buddha classifies human beings into two broad categories.

amazon Dharma Key concept in Indian philosophy and Eastern religions, with multiple meanings Dharma (;[7] Sanskrit: dharma, pronounced [dʱɐrmɐ] ( listen); Pali: dhamma) is a key concept with multiple meanings in Indian religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and others.[8] Although there is no direct single-word translation for dharma in European languages,[9] it is commonly translated as "righteousness", "merit" or "religious and moral duties" governing individual conduct.[11] In Hinduism, dharma is one of the four components of the Puruṣārtha, the aims of life, and signifies behaviours that are considered to be in accord with Ṛta, the order that makes life and universe possible.[12][note 1] It includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and "right way of living".[13] In Buddhism, dharma means "cosmic law and order",[12][14] as expressed by the teachings of the Buddha.[12][14] In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for "phenomena".[15][note 2] Etymology[edit] In Pali
