Concerning the determination of Internal & External Forces acting on a body. =O V = constent or VFO Historical Context “Origin of Mathematics" Egyptian — __» Greek — Western —3> Modern 3000 B.C. Babylonian "According to Herodotus , the mathematics of Egypt had roots in surveying. The Pharoah gave each Egyptian a plot of land to be taxed. The annual Flooding of the Nile required a survey be performed to reassess taxes." Egyptyy Surveying/Taxes > Mathematics Architecture Other Civilizations Many Meso-American Cultures Including Mayans, Aztec, and Olmecs 2000 B.C. Mayans Astronomy 1.2 - Fundamental Concepts Basic Quantities Mathematics Architecture Length - used to locate a body in space or describe the size of a body. Time - concieved as a succesion of events. Mass - a measure of a quantity of matter that is used to compare the action of one body with another. Force - consider as a "push" or "pull" exerted by one body on another.

F Newton's Three Laws of Motion First Law - A particle at rest or moving with a constant velocity tends to remain in this state provided the particle is NOT subject to an unbalanced Force. ah EN SF r0 Second Law - A particle acted upon by an unbalanced Force experiences an acceleration that has the SAME direction as the Force & a magnitude that is directly proportional to the Force.
