This art is geometry "the measuring of Earth. ... In thirteen books he collected The Elements of geometry, starting from the most basic concepts, "a point is that which has no part- and "a line is breadthless length-. ... We set out on our inquiry armed with twenty-three definitions, five postulates, an equal number of common notions, and forty-six propositions. ... Focusing our mind on the metaphysical plane where the triangle exists and by following Euclid's reasoning we find that we too can have access to that realm where we'll see true images, rather than likenesses of them....

He did this by engaging in casual conversations with whomever he happened to meet on the streets. ... His Academy, which opened in about 387 BC, helped start the college and university system that we still have today. ... Plato was a believer in the "quadrivium" which is about four math fields of study in the liberal arts, which begins with arithmetic, then to plane geometry, solid geometry, and lastly astronomy and harmonics. ... With the forced suicide of Socrates in 399, Plato and other followers took temporary refuge in Megara. ... In conclusion we can see that Plato was a very talented in...

With the most suitable measurements of beam deflection the average value of Young's modulus and the uncertainties associated with that is calculated. The results were in accordance with the theoretical predictions. ... This was achieved by analyzing the geometry of the experiment, identifying the critical parameters affecting the results based on the simple beam bending equation, by repeating the measurements and by comparing the experimental data with the theoretical predictions. ... Provided the applied load acts in the XY plane and deflection occurs in this same plane, the elastic mod...
