... summer of 1665 and he had to return to Lincolnshire. There, in less than two years, while he was still under 25 years old, he began advances in mathematics, optics, physics, and astronomy that would take an effect on the ways of science through out history. He had reached the conclusion during the two plague years that white light is not ... appeared to have suffered a nervous breakdown. His mother died the following year and Newton went into a period of no communication with the world.

... the daughter of a professor at the same school. Dedekind attended school in Brunswick at the Gymnasium Martino-Catharineum from the age of seven. Early on, Dedekind was very interested in physics, however, he began to lose interest and became dissatisfied with the subject, as he judged it to have an imprecise logical structure; his attentions turned towards mathematics. He entered the ... attended and friendships he developed in GÖttingen would shape Dedekind's future endeavors. One professor in particular, Wilhelm Weber, had an inspiring effect on Dedekind through his lectures on expe...

... and interacting with the same children; however our bias affected our resulting opinions. In the natural sciences, instrumental error can be highly detrimental to the results. For example, once in Physics, we were asked to calculate the value of the constant of "g " or gravity. We were asked to calculate time and height of the peak from a bouncing ball. Our resultant value ... ...
