Since you have read that word, the world has changed, and, quite frankly, the world has been changing ever since it was created. Well, in this world of change, almost 400 years ago, two brilliant thinkers would derive a way in which to measure how things change. Their addition to mathematics enables us to predict the weather and even send astronauts to space. If you have not guessed it already, this episode of Maranatha Mathletics will be covering that of calculus.

Throughout its history, from the birth of this equation to modern day, the Navier-Stokes equation was altered many times by various mathematicians. Thanks to them, the function of this fascinating equation expanded and became more realistic. If you are listening to this podcast, most likely, you are a living being. And since you are living, it means your life depends on some sort of liquid or fluid; This means that the Navier-Stokes Equation is applicable to your everyday life.

Have you ever wondered about how mathematicians figured out that there were imaginary numbers? Well, focusing on the history of how mathematicians figured out this mathematical phenomenon, we’ll talk equations, Italians and even duels. Aside from that, we’ll briefly talk about the real life implications of these numbers and why we even need them!

In other words, how do we know some processes will occur on their own, without energy input from the outside? This question can be explained by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that entropy of a closed system is always increasing.

However, as mankind has developed the brains to reach a more rational and abstract understanding of the objective world, they developed a need for counting and rationalizing the world; However, people cannot always get a whole number when they are calculating, and therefore, decimals became necessary. Decimals originated in the Eastern world and in later centuries, spread to European countries. People then applied the decimals into the literary world, creating the Dewey Decimal classification.
