Introduction Fairy Tales are stories that have generally been adopted today for children. They can be seen as an escape from our ordinary world into a world of fantasy and adventure. The Brothers Grimm were two German brothers who studied and wrote literature and stories that can be recognized by almost anyone today. Stories like Cinderella and sleeping beauty are all stories that originated from the Brothers Grimm. Fairy tales such as these involve a magical, or chivalrous setting. Kings, princes

Nadine Torres Algebra 2 Pre-AP/DC CA 7/8B Emmy Noether Introduction Emmy Noether was born in Erlangen, Germany on March 23rd, 1882. Her real name was Amalie Noether, however she was almost always called “Emmy”. Growing up in her family, she was the oldest of four children, but of only two children that survived childhood. Max Noether, Emmys father, was considered a mathematician in his time. Along with her brother Fritz, who had pursued his career in mathematics. As a child Emmy spent the majority

degree in March 1927 at age 23, supervised by Born. After the oral exam, James Franck, the professor administering, reportedly said, "I'm glad that's over. He was on the point of questioning me."[27] Oppenheimer published more than a dozen papers at Gottingen, including many important contributions to the new field of quantum mechanics. He and Born published a famous paper on the Born–Oppenheimer approximation, which separates nuclear motion from electronic motion in the mathematical treatment of molecules

Bunsen was born on the 30th of March, 1811, in Göttingen, Lower Saxony, in the Confederation of the Rhine. His father was Christian Bunsen, who was a professor of modern languages and librarian at the university of Göttingen. Information on his mother is scarce. He attended elementary and high school in Göttingen, but moved to the town of Holzminden to attend Grammar

learn from her father and other prominent mathematicians. In 1903, she began attending lectures at the University of Gottingen, where her father had connections, and she eventually earned her doctorate in mathematics in 1907 at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. After completing her Ph.D., Noether worked as an assistant to mathematician David Hilbert at the University of Gottingen where

In the famous words of of Dr. Julius Robert Oppenheimer, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” Oppenheimer was the creator of the atomic bomb. He was a normal smart man who ended up creating the most destructive weapon of the modern world. A weapon that can kill hundreds of thousands of people. Oppenheimer was born on April 22, 1904 in New York City. His father, Julius Oppenheimer, was a Jewish textile importer and his mother, Ella Friedman, who was a painter. Oppenheimer also had a

Most students in school, especially high school are known for saying that they would never need math in the real world, and maybe they’re right to some degree. But that doesn’t mean that math isn’t important and that math hasn’t contributed to our society. Yet, the math students learn in school, the math that computer programmers use, even the math that architects use, were all founded, and proved by mathematicians who are never given the appreciation that they deserve. One of these great mathematicians

While at Cambridge university, Oppenheimer was invited to the University of Gottingen to study alongside other prominent physicists. Alongside physicists Niels Bohr and P.A.M. Dirac, he received his doctorate in physics. Once he finished his studies at Gottingen, Oppenheimer left to visit several science centers to teach and study physics. After short visits to science centers in Leiden and Zürich, he returned to America

At the beginning of each tale, the protagonists live a regular life unaffected by the supernatural. This changes drastically by the end of their story because they end up in at least one of the three stages of possession. To determine which stage each protagonist undergoes throughout the tale comes from evidence from Satan, Sex, and Demoniac; along with evidence from each story. One of those story’s is “Adventures of the German student” by Washington Irving, who the protagonist is Gottfried Wolfgang

El Jones: The importance of spoken word poetry Spoken word poetry is a medium used to spread the concerns of generally disadvantaged groups in a non-structured widely received form. Many civil rights speeches use this style of poetry due to the ability it has to reach such a vast audience within a limited time and on poor finances. El Jones uses this style of poetry in her work to create a message that can reach a broad audience of varying social classes. In El Jones "I know what you see," there

Jurgen Moltmann was born on April 8, 1926 in a secular home in Hamburg Germany. He was raised in a shared settlement of few teachers, led by visionary Helmut Herling and his socialist neighbor Alfred Schar. Jurgen’s parents put him and all of his siblings to work in gardens when they were younger. During this time he belonged to a real community as he spoke about his community in his autobiography A Broad Place: An Autobiography . The peace lasted through the survival of the settlement during the

faith in God and became devoted to discovering philosophical truth. After entering University of Breslau, Edith met Professor Edmund Husserl, who is seen as the most influential person in her life. She discovered the catholic faith initially at Göttingen University, and her interest in the Catholic faith grew in 1917, but she didn 't convert until the year 1921. In 1933 Stein entered the Carmelite convent

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the captains of industry, more popularly known as robber barons, controlled big businesses, but through unethical, cut-throat ways. Robber barons were the wealthy citizens who owned successful businesses which used tactics that kept them on top, and there competitors below them. These tactics included, trusts, pools, and holding companies, which were all forms of monopolies. There were many individuals who qualified as a robber baron, but three of the most well known

He graduated from Harvard University, then went to England and enrolled at the University of Cambridge. He later went to Göttingen University, where he graduated with a Doctorate. Throughout his life, he had professions such as an academic, an engineer, a scientist, and a physicist. He was most acknowledged as "Father of the Atomic Bomb" He led the Manhattan Project, the

at Harvard until a year later in 1922, where he graduated in three years (Atomic). While Oppenheimer majored in chemistry he soon realized his love for physics. Shortly after he realized the lab work was mundane, he enrolled at the University of Göttingen to study quantum physics (Atomic). By 1927, Oppenheimer had earned his doctorate and began to teach at Caltech and the University

Does quantum mechanics predict the existence of a spiritual "soul"? Testimonials from prominent physics researchers from institutions such as Cambridge University, Princeton University, and the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich claim that quantum mechanics predicts some version of "life after death." They assert that a person may possess a body-soul duality that is an extension of the wave-particle duality of subatomic particles. Wave-particle duality, a fundamental concept of quantum

Stillwell has been mentioned in various headlines such as The Chronicle Herald as being “one of the country’s best beer bars” (Dewolf 2017). This brewery is located on Gottingen Street in Halifax, Nova Scotia and is new to brewing its own beer (Reynolds and Moran 79). The brewery supplies beer to their own bar and beer garden, which are both open in Halifax (Reynolds and Moran 79). Stillwell Brewing is owned and brewed by

ever go beyond the study of literature into higher sciences, one knows in advance that her clothing will be neglected and her hair will be done in antiquarian fashion.”(Doc 7). The author of this document is unknown, but it was published by the Göttingen newspaper and it was about the first woman to receive a Phd from a German University. It was written to show the negativity men show towards women if they try to increase their knowledge and force themselves into science. “Never have I made a greater

typical young girl, enjoying cooking, sewing, and going to dances. After school, she received certification to teach French and English at a girl’s school, but decided to pursue her studies in mathematics instead. In 1900, Emmy was admitted to Gottingen, but would have to audit classes due to the fact that women were not allowed to enroll as true students. In 1904, she transferred to her father’s university of employment, the University

He studied chemistry and physics. Despite his many courses, he graduated from Harvard in three years, and left the United States for Europe. There he went to Cambridge University and the University of Gottingen in Germany. While studying there, he received his doctorate and left for Switzerland to work with a physicist named Wolfgang Pauli (J. Robert Oppenheimer). Following his years of study, Oppenheimer became a professor at the California Institute
