Where and when he was born! He was born in Clement, France and was not allowed to work in textbooks. He was allowed to go to his father’s meetings. When he was eighteen he was fascinated in maths and became a famous mathematician.

Education available at the time His father Etienne Pascal kept Blaise at home to ensure that he wasn’t being overwork and with the same object it was directed that his education should be at first confined to the study of languages, and should not include any mathematics. But this naturally exited him his curiosity, and one day when he was 12 years old, he asked what geometry consisted. Etienne responded by forbidding his son to further pursue mathematics until the age of fifteen.

His discoveries and inventions  Blaise Pascal had many discoveries but one of the most famous was the Pascal's Triangle.  He also invented one of the first mechanical calculator. It was a wooden shaped box. Inside the box there was 4 gears one for the units one for the tenths one for the hundreds and one for the thousands.

The work explains that men were unable to write the sacred history until four Apostles were divinely inspired to do so. A chronology then follows as a list of prophecies that Christ full filled.

Where and when he was Born Blaise Pascal was born in June 19 th 1963 and died August 19 th He was a French Mathematician a Religious Philosopher and a Physicist. H e w a s a c h i l d p r o d i g y w h o w a s e d u c a t e d b y h i s f a t h e r.

Pythagoras of Samos

Born &+Bred He was Born In 569 BC of the Island of Samos &+ Died in 475 BC. His mother was native of Samos and his father was a merchant from Tyre. He studied with the priest of Memphis, who was well-known for his wisdom. After Memphis, he studied at the temples of Tyre and Byblos in Phoenicia

Education Little is known about Pythagoras's childhood. But some say he was well educated learning to play the lyre, learning poetry &+ to recite Homer. He was Influenced among his teachers by three philosophers. One of the most important men to help Pythagoras in his Education was Pherekydes. << Pherekydes

Pythagoras Theorem Firstly a Theorem is an idea. Years ago, a man named Pythagoras found am amazing fact about triangles : If the triangle had a right angle (90)… And you made a square on each of the three sides, then… The biggest square had the exact same area as the other two squares put together! (He also discovered astronomy)

Importance of his work day Without The Pythagoras theorem we wouldn't know a lot about astronomy which is the study of Stars &+ Planets. In and of itself, it shows the relationship between the three sides of a right triangle. It has other application too, though.

Thanks for Listening Thank you very much for listening and we hope you have learnt some thing about this mathematician “Pythagoras” because we definitely have.

Plato was born in Athens, which is in Greece He was born 424–423 BC it was one of those no one knows which one He died on one of these dates - 348–347 BC Plato was born into an aristocratic Athenian family, and he grew up during the Peloponnesian War. It is likely that he served in the cavalry in various campaigns against Sparta. Disgusted by the belligerent and self-destructive policies of his native city, he stayed out of politics and spent most of his time and energy pursuing philosophy. He became Socrates' most illustrious student.

Plato founded the Platonic academy in Athens. It persisted throughout the Hellenistic period as a sceptical school, untill coming to an end after the death of Philo of Larissa in 83 BC. Although philosopher continued to teach Plato’s philosophy during the Roman Era.

‘’We call lots of different things ‘red’, but how did we manage to learn the meaning of the word when we are never presented with an unambiguous example of redness? Red things in the world are round and red or juicy and red or crunchy and red. How, then, did we ever learn to use the word correctly?” *Perhaps the most dominant theme of Plato’s dialogue is the search for certainty in knowledge. He asks about things he is curious about and give some effort discovering the answers and turns out to be important things for humans.

Plato's characteristic response is to ask more questions: "As the apple rots, what standard do we use to determine whether or not it is red? It seems that we need some unchanging standard, some fixed redness, but what could fit the bill in this changing world of rotting apples? If we really know something, it is hard to see how that knowledge could turn false. Opinions might turn out false, but if something is known - squares have four sides or = 4, say - it has to be true forever, says Plato. Since nothing in this changing world seems able to shore up the permanency, Plato’s remarkable solution to these problems is the theory of forms.

In several dialogues, Socrates floats the idea that Knowledge is a matter of recollection, and not of learning, observation, or study. Knowledge
