A tour about Isaac Newton's life
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we propose a tour about the life of Isaac Newton, using a georeferenced method, based on the free satellite maps. Our tour is modelled on the time-line of the great scientist’s life, as an ancient “itinerarium” was modelled on the Roman roads, providing a listing of places and intervening distances, sometimes with short description or symbols concerning the places. KML language and Google Earth, with its Street View and 3D images are powerful tools to create this virtual tour.

Historical Development of the Newton-Raphson Method
This expository paper traces the development of the Newton-Raphson method for solving nonlinear algebraic equations through the extant notes, letters, and publications of Isaac Newton, Joseph Raphson, and Thomas Simpson. It is shown how Newton's formulation differed from the iterative process of Raphson, and that Simpson was the first o give a general formulation, interms of fluxional calculus,...
متن کاملINTEGRATING CASE-BASED REASONING, KNOWLEDGE-BASED APPROACH AND TSP ALGORITHM FOR MINIMUM TOUR FINDING
Imagine you have traveled to an unfamiliar city. Before you start your daily tour around the city, you need to know a good route. In Network Theory (NT), this is the traveling salesman problem (TSP). A dynamic programming algorithm is often used for solving this problem. However, when the road network of the city is very complicated and dense, which is usually the case, it will take too long fo...
متن کاملPTAS for k-Tour Cover Problem on the Plane for Moderately Large Values of k
Let P be a set of n points in the Euclidean plane and let O be the origin point in the plane. In the k-tour cover problem (called frequently the capacitated vehicle routing problem), the goal is to minimize the total length of tours that cover all points in P , such that each tour starts and ends in O and covers at most k points from P . The k-tour cover problem is known to be NP-hard. It is al...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of a Tour Scheduler Focusing on Time-dependent Gains for Electric Vehicles
After briefly presenting a tour-and-charging scheduler capable of maximizing the timedependent gains for electric vehicles, this paper conducts an extensive analysis of its performance through a prototype implementation. Main concerns are put on the acquired gain, waiting time, and tour length according to the schedule depth and the number of destinations. Basically, the scheduling service prov...
متن کاملLearning About Life
For 300 years, the models and metaphors of Newtonian physics have dominated the world of science. Newton offered an image of the universe as a machine, a clockwork mechanism. Newton's universe is ruled by linear cause and effect--one gear turns, which makes a second gear turn, which makes a third gear turn, and so on. This cause-effect relationship is captured in Newton's F=ma formula: force gi...
