The Project Mathematics! series of videos is a teaching aid for teachers to help students understand the basics of geometry and trigonometry.The series was developed by Tom M. Apostol and James F. Blinn, both from the California Institute of Technology.
Tom Mike Apostol (/ ə ˈ p ɑː s əl / ə-POSS-əl; [1] August 20, 1923 – May 8, 2016) [2] was an American mathematician and professor at the California Institute of Technology specializing in analytic number theory, best known as the author of widely used mathematical textbooks.
He was a Project Associate at Project Mathematics! at the California Institute of Technology. With co-author Tom Apostol, he won the Paul R. Halmos – Lester R. Ford Award given by the Mathematical Association of America for author excellence, in 2005, 2008, and 2010.
Caltech mathematician Tom M. Apostol joined the Mechanical Universe production staff in order to ensure that the series did not compromise on the quality of the mathematics it presented. Seeing an example of Blinn's computer animation for the first time convinced Apostol that the series could bring mathematics "to life in a way that cannot be ...
Visual calculus, invented by Mamikon Mnatsakanian (known as Mamikon), is an approach to solving a variety of integral calculus problems. [1] Many problems that would otherwise seem quite difficult yield to the method with hardly a line of calculation. Mamikon collaborated with Tom Apostol on the 2013 book New Horizons in Geometry describing the ...
4. Wendy’s Chili. Price: $2.69 cup / $3.59 bowl Let’s address the elephant in the room, because it’s a story so damning for Wendy’s that even today in 2024, it made me hesitate to order this.
From January 2008 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when John L. Doerr joined the board, and sold them when she left, you would have a 2.1 percent return on your investment, compared to a -2.8 percent return from the S&P 500.
Abe Sklar (November 25, 1925 – October 30, 2020) was an American mathematician and a professor of applied mathematics at the Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) and the inventor of copulas in probability theory. [1]
