The author in this article compares two books on mathematical subjects that can help to provide a rich background on their developments. One book is about geometry by John Heilbron whereas the other one is about trigonometry by Eli Maor. The author elaborates that, “both writers share a belief that doing the mathematics is fun;…

Introducing infinity can be done many ways, in this essay it will go over the definitions, history, past discussions, and if it is useful. There are several definitions and infinity has been a very controversial topic over the years. This also explains why there are past discussions of it and the main discussion that will…

Various classification methods and algorithms have been adopted by the remote sensing community. Some of the methods use techniques like support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, Gaussian process (GP), random forest (RF), extreme learning machines (ELM) and deep neural network classifiers. However, the accuracies of these models are not up to the mark. The challenges…

Most people are aware of America’s illiteracy problem, otherwise known as people’s inability to read or write. However, what they may not be aware of is a bigger problem called innumeracy. Innumeracy is a person’s inability to comprehend mathematical concepts and methods. According to a research study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s National…

Among the pantheon of ancient scholars, one name holds a unique distinction in the realm of mathematics – Euclid, known widely as the ‘Father of Geometry.’ His contributions to this scientific discipline have shaped the fundamental understanding of spatial relationships and properties, laying the groundwork for centuries of mathematical study. This thirteen-volume mathematical and geometric…

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient system for real time vehicle counting and color classification system using a surveillance camera for acquiring the traffic video stream. In our method, we propose a system to identify the vehicles based on the image processing techniques, such as background subtraction using kNN classifiers and morphological operations for detecting…

Introduction In the grand tapestry of human history, the brilliance of ancient minds shines as a testament to the potential of human intellect. Among these luminaries, Greek mathematicians stand tall, not merely as trailblazers of mathematical concepts, but as embodiments of the intricate connection between intellectual pursuit and the essence of humanity itself. This essay…
