Galileo Galilei i. Galileo was born January 15th, 1564 in Italy

ii. Galileo developed a more advanced telescope iii. Galileo discovered all of Jupiters moonsiv. Galileo books were banned because of his

rationality to life, and science not religionv. Galileo believed that the solar system was

surrounded by the sunvi. Galileo was put on house arrest for being

anti- religiousvii. Galileo turned blinded after looking directly

at the sun.

Depriving from education in Europe-

During the Middle Ages, under the influence of Christendom, many European countries were against to any form of higher education for females. Women were mostly deprived from the fundamental elements of education, like as reading and writing.Men claimed that education was a source of temptation and sin for women. For the most part, learning was limited to nuns which constituted the only opportunity for education open to girls during the Middle Ages.

Italian Renaissance Began...After the fall of Istanbul, many scholars

migrated to Rome, bringing Europe knowledge and critical thinking, which in turn gave rise to the Renaissance in Italy, however, there was the Renaissance when women made their mark on the academic world. In Italy intellectually gifted women were admired by men, they were never ridiculed for being intellectual and educated. This attitude enabled Italian women to participate in arts, medicine, literature, and mathematics. Among many others, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was by far the most important and extraordinary figure in mathematics during the 18th century.ce. However, except in Italy, the status of women throughout Europe changed very slowly.

Ada Lovelacei. Ada was born December 10th, 1815 in London.

ii. Ada was known for scientific computing, a calculation system for the

industrial revolution time period.

iii. Ada made a machine that helped people with general things, mostly

mathematics

iv. Ada died of cancer in 1852

Emmy Noether- i. Emmy was born in March 23rd in Germany, 1882

ii. Emmy was best known for her contributions in theoretical physics and abstract algebra

iii. Emmy was most famous for the RING THEORYiv. Since Emmy was jewis nazi's forced her out of Germanyv. Emmy corrected and fine tuned the theory of relativity.

vi. Einstein's words, "In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fraulein Noether was the most significant mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began."

vii. David Hilbert's words, " I do not see that the sex of the candidate is an argument against her admission as a Privatdozent."

7th, 1878ii. Lise was best known for her radioactive,

and nuclear physics. iii. Elise's physics team discovered a nuclear

fission. iv. Lise was from a jewish family of eight,

then in 1908 she was baptized.v. Elsie, won the nobel peace prize for

science.vi. Lise created a permanent ioscope.

vii. Element 109 was named after Elise

Nuclear fission-

When a nucleus in a cell splits, that makes a huge impact on other nucleus.

Two basic equations are-

1. 235U + 1 neutron = 2 neutrons + 92Kr + 142Ba + ENERGY

2. 235U + 1 neutron = 2 neutrons + 92Sr + 140Xe + ENERGY

ii. The discovery to the atomic bomb or nuclear bomb.

E= MC2
