Bob Dole: A Race To The Top
.... targeted towards low and middle income tax payers. The
result, a plan that while still benefiting the rich more than the middle class,
more evenly distributes between all income groups (Duffy 1996). Under Dole's
tax cut plan, a family of four with an annual income of 31,000 would see their
tax bill drop from $2,000 to $800, a difference of $1,200. "The way the tax
cut was packaged shows that they were still sensitive to the old anti-Reagan
argument that tax cuts just benefit the rich and they tried .....

Susan Smith
.... by her friends, neighbours and
relatives. None of her friends or neighbours could have expected Susan Smith to
commit such a horrible crime.
The event took place in a small town in Union, South Carolina. On
October 25th Susan Smith explained that she was "heading east on Highway 49 when
she stopped at a red light at Monarch Mills about 9:15 p.m., and a man jumped
into the passenger seat." She described the man "as a black male in his late
20s to early 30s, wearing a plaid shirt, jeans and .....

Woodrow Wilson And His Ability To Be An Effective President
.... onto college and studied American and British political history, public
speaking, and law. After college he set up a law practice with Edward Renick.
Because he had not learned the field of law thorough while in school, he showed
a poor ability to be a lawyer. During this time he was in and out of sickness.
Wilson did not really want to be a lawyer. His main area of interest was
in politics. His first taste of politics was during his term as Governor of New
Jersey. He took this seat in office w .....

Albert Einstein

was a small flat, about 100 yards away from Bere's famous clock tower. Upon
returning home, a small incident occured, that was to occur many times
throughout Einstern's life; he had forgotten his key. A year later, in 1904 they
had a child, Hans Albert. In that same year, he recieved a job at the swiss
patent office.
In 1905, three of Einstein's 4 famous papers; "about a 'heuristical'
perspective about the creation and modulation of light, about the movement of in
still liquids mixed objects supp .....

Apollonius Of Perga
.... of his predecessors' works.
Book 1-4 contain a systematic account of the essential principles of conics,
which for the most part had been previously set forth by Euclid, Aristaeus and
Menaechmus. A number of theorems in Book 3 and the greater part of Book 4 are
new, however, and he introduced the terms parabola, eelipse, and hyperbola.
Books 5-7 are clearly original. His genius takes its highest flight in Book 5,
in which he considers normals as minimum and maximum straight lines drawn from
given points .....

Blaise Pascal
.... His father told him, "that generally
speaking, it was the way of making precise figures and finding the proportions
among them." (P 39,Cole) This set him going and during his play times in this
room he figured out ways to draw geometric figures such as perfect circles, and
equilateral triangles, all of this he accomplished. Due to the fact that É
tienne took such painstaking measures to hide mathematics from Blaise, to the
point where he told his friends not to mention math at all around him, .....

Blaise Pascal

fourteen he was admitted to the weekly meetings of Roberval, Mersenne, Mydorge,
and other French geometricians. At the age of sixteen he wrote an essay on conic
sections; and in 1641 at the age of 18 he construced the first arithmetical
machine, an instrument with metal dials on the front on which the numbers were
entered. Once the entries had been completed the answer would be displayed in
small windows on the top of the device. This device was improved eight y .....

Carl Friedrich Gauss
.... product of real linear and/or real
quadratic factors.
At the age of 24, he published Disquisitiones arithmeticae, in which he
formulated systematic and widely influential concepts and methods of number
theory -- dealing with the relationships and properties of integers. This book
set the pattern for many future research and won Gauss major recognition among
mathematicians. Using number theory, Gauss proposed an algebraic solution to the
geometric problem of creating a polygon of n sides. Gauss proved the .....

Karl Gauss: Biography
.... had been made, and he took up his interest in astronomy in 1801.
By about 1807, Gauss began to gain recognition from countries all over
the world. He was invited to work in Leningrad, was made a member of the Royal
Society in London, and was invited membership to the Russian and French
Academies of Sciences. However, he remained in his hometown in Germany until
his death in 1855.
Acomplishments
During his Teen years, Karl Gauss developed many mathematical theories
and proofs, b .....

Frank Lloyd Wright
.... Lloyd Wright was a courageos man in the sense that he was not afraid to
accept critisism from people and fellow architects. Throught his careerhe has
faced many types of disagreements. People did not believe that he was sane or
normal because his buildings were so radical back then. People started to look
and beleive in his work after they saw his first commision, which was Moore-
Dugal house.
Wright was born in the year 1867 on the date June 8th, in Richland Center,
Wisconsin. His name was to b .....

Carl Friedrich Gauss
.... Gauss until his death in 1806.
Gauss conceived almost all his basic mathematical discoveries between
the ages of 14 and 17. In 1791 he began to do totally new and innovative work in
mathematics. In 1793-94 he did intensive research in number theory, especially
on prime numbers. He made this his life's passion and is regarded as its modern
founder.
Gauss studied at the University of Gottingen from 1795 to 1798. He soon
decided to write a book on the theory of numbers. It appeared in 180 .....

Georg Cantor
.... In 1862, Georg Cantor entered the University of Zurich only
to transfer the next year to the University of Berlin after his father's death.
At Berlin he studied mathematics, philosophy and physics. There he studied under
some of the greatest mathematicians of the day including Kronecker and
Weierstrass. After receiving his doctorate in 1867 from Berlin, he was unable to
find good employment and was forced to accept a position as an unpaid lecturer
and later as an assistant professor at the University o .....

Leonhard Euler
.... the Motions of Rigid Bodies (1765). Like his teacher
Johann Bernoulli, he elaborated continuum mechanics, but he also set forth the
kinetic theory of gases with the molecular model. With Alexis Clairaut he
studied lunar theory. He also did fundamental research on elasticity, acoustics,
the wave theory of light, and the hydromechanics of ships.
Euler was born in Basel, Switzerland. His father, a pastor, wanted his
son to follow in his footsteps and sent him to the University of Basel to
prepare for the m .....

Leonhard Euler
.... full analytical treatment of algebra, the theory of equations,
trigonometry, and analytical geometry. In this work he treated the series
expansion of functions and formulated the rule that only convergent infinite
series can properly be evaluated. He also discussed three-dimensional surfaces
and proved that the conic sections are represented by the general equation of
the second degree in two dimensions. Other works dealt with calculus, including
the calculus of variations, number theory, imaginary numbers .....
