Johann Heinrich Lambert was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, and astronomer. Born in the Republic of Mulhouse in 1728, Lambert died at the age of forty-nine. He is widely regarded for his invention of the Hygrometer, which is used to measure moisture in the air. Lambert is also credited for his achievement in Lambert-Beer-Bouguer Law and Transverse Mercator Projection. Johann Heinrich Lambert didn’t come from the wealthiest of families. His parents were tailors. Therefore, at the age of twelve,
Johann Heinrich Lambert was born 26 August 1728 in Mulhouse, present day Alsace, France. His father was a tailor named Lukas Lambert, whose father was also a tailor. The family was not well off and at the age of twelve young Johann Lambert he had to begin working for his father which forced him to leave school. As he continued to work for his father he did not forgo his studies. He filled his time in which he was not helping his father with reading and learning scientific subjects on his own. He
Beer Lambert law which is applied to optics is named after Pierre Bouguer, Johann Heinrich
Darren Aronofsky's Pi Is there an answer, a key to unlocking the mystery of nature, of life, of the universe? In the movie Pi, this question is explored through an intriguing, intense, thought-provoking plot, which leaves the viewer pondering its contents and ideas for hours afterwards. The movie Pi was written and directed by the young producer Darren Aronofsky. As his first big film, Pi won him "Best Director" at the 1998 Sundance film festival. This film was produced in an ideal
seriously distorted and suppressed the natural world of children. He called for “regard children as children” and asked people to teach children according to children’s physical and mental development rule. (Liu, 2014) Another great educator, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi also pointed out that education should be with the development of nature. He once said “In essence, human nature also should follow the same rule.” (Pestalozzi,
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi was born in Zurich, Switzerland, on January 12, 1746. During his childhood, he suffered many hardships. Four of his six siblings died at an early age, and his father died when Pestalozzi was only five years old, leaving his mother to raise her three remaining children in poverty. Poor living conditions, combined with the trauma of losing her children and husband, caused his mother to devote her life to raising her children in a socially
Froebel had a strong Christian faith. When Froebel was a young man, he went and attended the training institute between 1808 and 1810. It was named Frankfurt Model School. There was a well-respected educator that had worked there. His name was Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. Pestalozzi’s theory had included permissive school atmospheres for the ideal environment to learn in, emphasis on nature, and the object lesson. Froebel’s view of education was closely linked to religion since he was an idealist. He
The three mathematicians I chose are as follows: Johann Heinrich Lambert, Evariste Galois, and David Hilbert. Johann Heinrich Lambert was an 18th century mathematician, and his contribution to trigonometry was providing evidence that “Pi” is irrational. His contribution was important because “Pi” is used for finding the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In addition, Evariste Galois was a 19th century mathematician, and his contribution to trigonometry was discovering the theory of polynomial
Introduction: Pi is an incredibly essential number in our world, without it there would be a lack of innumerable things that have come to be necessary in our daily lives. We would not have the knowledge we have now about the celestial paths in our solar system and beyond. For common people, pi is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter but there is so much more to this number. It is an irrational and transcendental number who has mathematicians’ interest peaked. It is not possible to

This amazing product, that has influenced the world for many years, came to be because one person imagined something. That one person questioned what was possible, and worked to change what could be. The discovery of radio is another way that imagination has influenced society. Heinrich Hertz discovered that
The outbreak of World War One was accompanied by new strategies, innovations, and inventions that developed modern warfare. World War One saw the widespread use of everything from artillery to machine guns and airplanes to submarines. World War One also saw the world’s most powerful navy, Great Britain’s Royal Navy, pitted against the up and coming German Imperial Navy. From Britain’s effective use of the naval blockade to Germany’s terrifying unrestricted submarine warfare, both sides were constantly
