ellauri017.html on line 609: In Euclidean geometry, the origin may be chosen freely as any convenient point of reference. Jokainen meistä on oman maailmansa napa, ja voi siihen tuijottaa, se on itsekullakin yhtä onnistunut ja ainutlaatuinen kuin toisilla. Napanöyhtää on jokaiselle sama määrä suotu syntyessä, vaikkei päivä paistakaan yhtä iplakasti joka puosta loppupeleissä.
ellauri078.html on line 44: The infinity symbol ( ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } \infty , ∞, or in unicode ∞) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity. In algebraic geometry, the figure is called a lemniscate.
ellauri080.html on line 427: The material I will use to justify my claims comes from three time-honored traditions: sacred geometry as practiced by the ancient Egyptians, the inner structure of the I Ching, and the house arrangement of astrology. All these disciplines attempt to give meaningful order to what may appear at times to be a chaotic human existence, as is Jung’s typology.
ellauri088.html on line 591: We beat it out flat; we beat it back square; we battered it into every form known to geometry—but we could not make a hole in it. Then George went at it, and knocked it into a shape, so strange, so weird, so unearthly in its wild hideousness, that he got frightened and threw away the mast. Then we all three sat round it on the grass and looked at it.
ellauri107.html on line 510: In the living-room, in a corner of the davenport, Ted settled down to his Home Study; plain geometry, Cicero, and the agonizing metaphors of Comus.
ellauri107.html on line 518: He snatched from the back of his geometry half a hundred advertisements of those home-study courses which the energy and foresight of American commerce have contributed to the science of education. The first displayed the portrait of a young man with a pure brow, an iron jaw, silk socks, and hair like patent leather. Standing with one hand in his trousers-pocket and the other extended with chiding forefinger, he was bewitching an audience of men with gray beards, paunches, bald heads, and every other sign of wisdom and prosperity. Above the picture was an inspiring educational symbol—no antiquated lamp or torch or owl of Minerva, but a row of dollar signs. The text ran:
ellauri160.html on line 132: In 1901 Pound was admitted, aged 15, to the University of Pennsylvania's College of Liberal Arts. Years later he said his aim was to avoid drill at the military academy. His one distinction in first year was in geometry, but otherwise his grades were mostly poor, including in Latin, his major; he achieved a B in English composition and a pass in English literature. In his second year he switched from the degree course to "non-degree special student status", he said "to avoid irrelevant subjects". He was not elected to a fraternity at Penn, but it seemed not to bother him.
xxx/ellauri104.html on line 36: Johnny Nash was responsible for multiple equations and mathematical breakthroughs that influenced everything from economics to geometry. Like Nash equilibrium in game theory, one of the worst ideas an ape ever stumbled on. In addition to being a genius intellectual and genius mathematician he also suffered from schizophrenia his entire adult life. Not to put too find a point to it, he was mad as a march hare.

xxx/ellauri233.html on line 402: In 1781, when the Hasidim renewed their proselytizing work under the leadership of their Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (the "Ba'al Ha'tanya", or "Rebbe Schlemiel"), the Gaon excommunicated them again, declaring them to be heretics with whom no pious Jew might intermarry. He encouraged his students to study natural sciences, and translated geometry books to Yiddish and Hebrew.
xxx/ellauri233.html on line 416: During these years, Shneur Zalman was introduced to mathematics, geometry, and astronomy by two learned brothers, refugees from Bohemia, who had settled in Liozna. One of them was also a scholar of the Kabbalah. Thus, besides mastering rabbinic literature, he also acquired a fair to medium knowledge of the sciences, philosophy, and Kabbalah. He became an adept in Isaac Luria's system of Kabbalah, and in 1764 he became a disciple of Dov Ber of Mezeritch. In 1767, at the age of 22, he was appointed magician of Liozna, a position he held until 1801.
xxx/ellauri265.html on line 439: At Heteronormal Academy, we are devotees of John Stuart Mill. We believe in laissez faire capitalism. I am a centrist, and if you remember your elementary school geometry class, that means I am right-adjacent, not left. I really think the Republicans are a center party.
xxx/ellauri394.html on line 123: In 1842, at the age of four, she began her education at the Chiefs' Children's School (later known as the Royal School). She, along with her classmates, had been formally proclaimed by Kamehameha III as eligible for the throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Liliʻuokalani later noted that these "pupils were exclusively persons whose claims to the throne were acknowledged." She, along with her two older brothers James Kaliokalani and David Kalākaua, as well as her thirteen royal cousins, were taught in English by American missionaries Amos Starr Cooke and his wife, Juliette Montague Cooke. The children were taught reading, spelling, penmanship, arithmetic, geometry, algebra, physics, geography, history, bookkeeping, music and English composition by the missionary couple who had to maintain the moral and sexual development of their charges.
