.... and he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in June 1661. Newton received his bachelor's degree in 1665. After an intermission of nearly two years to avoid the plague, Newton returned to Trinity, which elected him to a fellowship in 1667. He received his master's degree in 1668. Newton ignored much of the established curriculum of the university to pursue his own interests: mathematics and natural philosophy. Proceeding entirely on his own, he investigated the latest developments in mathematics and the new natural philosophy that treated nature as a complicated machine. Almost immediately, he made fundamental discoveries that were instrumental in his c .....

.... who became a professor at Princeton University and the author of a popularly acclaimed book on George Washington.When Professor Wilson was 39, he suffered a minor stroke that left him with weakness of the right arm and hand, sensory disturbances in the tips of several fingers, and an inability to write in his usual right-handed manner.

But the problem recurred in 1904. In 1906 it happened again, this time with blindness in the left eye (also supplied by the le .....

.... was the last pharaoh. Cleopatra lived most of her life in Alexandra with her brother Ptolemy. Cleopatra married her brother Ptolemy, because they wanted to rule Egypt together. They did for quite some time. But it all changed when Ptolemy got sick and died. After the death of Ptolemy she found a great emperor who she then fell in love with, and then married.

Because she was a Ptolemy, Cleopatra had a negative effect on Egypt as seen in her relat .....

.... computing skill. The duke was so impressed that he generously supported 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 number. 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 1801 under the title 'Disquisitiones arithmeticae'. This classic work usually is held to b .....

.... he grew up others often found him teaching his playmates to maneuver their little boats to mimic a naval battle, while he, taking his stand on the tiny cliff overlooking the small river, shouted shrill commands at his imaginary fleet.

.... Fall of the House Usher� he uses extensive descriptions of the settings to give the reader the feeling of being there while the story is developing around them. The writers are also similar in the use of tone in their works. Irving’s use of tone in his stories is typically lighthearted, yet dramatic. This is demonstrated in “Rip Van Winkle� when Rip comes back from the “Kaatskills� and is talking to all the people in the town. There, he finds his son and daughter and asks, “Where’s your mother?� By asking this question, Irving implies both curiosity and even fear if Dame Van Winkle is still around. This humorous approach to the .....

.... career. All of these observations combined with our own calculations have changed our earlier mentioned view. After hours of research and study we have found Woods to be a great player. This change of heart led to our hypothesis: Even without the media hype Tiger Woods has proved himself, statistically, to be a great player. This hypothesis is backed by a great deal of statistical information and factual, proven input through our own calculations. After finding our data online it was already clearly evident that Woods’ was a good player, but we wondered how much better he would seem after the math was done. We hope some of the .....
