Abstract
This essay discusses the life of Sir Issac Newton and the points of his life that brought forth his great advances in the realm of physics and mathematics.
From the Paper
"As a child Sir Isaac Newton took little interest in what was being taught to his classmates (Bixby 90). Instead, he found ways to fulfill his desire to learn. He marked where the shadows fell in his yard in order to keep time, thus producing his sundial (Rattansi 12). His interest in rushing water inspired Newton to build a windmill. He created the first horseless carriage. In addition to the pursuit of his numerous boyhood interests, Newton spent time with his landlord as the apothecary and concocted remedies for the illnesses of the locals (Christianson 16)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes five of the most commonly used methods of risk management, establishes the differences, similarities and effectiveness among the given methods. and then draws conclusions regarding the effectiveness of each method.
From the Paper
"Project development, especially in the software related field, due to its complex nature, could often encounter many unanticipated problems, resulting in projects falling behind on deadlines, exceeding budgets and result in sub-standard products. Although these problems cannot be totally eliminated, they can however be controlled by applying Risk Management methods. This can help to deal with problems before they occur. Organisations who implement risk management procedures and techniques will have greater control over the overall management of the project. "

Contribution of Past Civilizations to Modern Mathematics, 2001.

Abstract
This paper shows how the ancient civilizations contributed to the development and advancement of mathematics, a science which could be considered as old as humanity itself. It documents the way mathematics has grown over the centuries thanks to the work and dedication of hard working scientists that have given us the privilege of enjoying the discoveries that they made centuries ago. A description is given of the names and works of mathematicians such as Pythagoras, Democritus, Hippocrates and so many others that promoted the development of mathematics.
From the Paper
"The first civilization that used mathematics in an organized way was the Babylonians and the Egyptians. They started to develop this science at the 3rd millennium BC. Their early discoveries were mostly based on arithmetic, measurement and calculation in geometry. The Egyptians used a numerical system similar to that of the Romans. An old Egyptian text, composed about 1800 BC, reveals a decimal numerical system with separate symbols for the successive powers of 10 (1, 10, 100, etc). Addition was done by totaling separately the units- 10s, 100s, and so forth- in the numbers to be added. Multiplication was based on successive doublings, and division was based on the inverse of that process."

Modern Geometry, 2000.

Abstract
This paper gives a summary of the history of modern geometry, from ancient Greece to the present, including a discussion of the significance of Euclid?s first five postulates, emphasizing the fifth (Parallel Postulate) and how it relates to the Hyperbolic Geometry.
From the Paper
"Many great philosophers and mathematicians worked on the study of geometry. Euclid was perhaps the most famous of these. Almost nothing is known about his life, but his famous work ,?Elements? (ca. 300 BCE) remains one of the most widely read and copied texts to this day. He gathered all of the geometrical knowledge of his time and arranged it in a logical format. (36, Levine) What distinguishes ?Elements? from other works is the use of proof throughout. As far as is known, Euclid was the first person to attempt such a task. He used the Axiomatic Method to prove the correctness of the statements put forth in ?Elements?"

From the Paper
"Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, organization and analysis of numerical data the application of this information to make informed decisions in a variety of applications. Statistical results may be used to forecast business trends, define the extent of prevailing opinion throughout a given population, changes in availability of resources or assets, and provide quantifiable answers to questions in almost every type of business, social or political area. (Encarta) Professor Edwards of the Andover Theological Seminary defined statistics as ?the ascertaining and bringing together of those facts which are fitted to illustrate the conditions and prospects of society."
