To begin you must understand the Pythagoras theorem is an equation of a2 + b2 = c2. This simply means that the sum of the areas of the two squares formed along the two small sides of a right-angled triangle equals the area of the square formed along the longest. Let a, b, and c…

Two important events on the earth take place everyday that is Sunrise and Sunset. The time duration from the Sunrise and Sunset is day length (or length of days or length of daytime. However, it can be noticed that over the course of a year, the length of the day or the number of hours…

Elliptic geometry (sometimes known as Riemannian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry, in which, given a line L and a point p outside L, there exists no line parallel to L passing through p. Elliptic geometry, like hyperbolic geometry, violates Euclid’s parallel postulate, which asserts that there is exactly one line parallel to L passing through…

We view the world today as the Earth and planets revolving around the Sun. Naturally, this was not always the case. Aristotle created a model in which, since God created the Earth and man, therefore everything should revolve around us, creating a geocentric model of the known universe.
