Georg Cantor was certainly not the only genius in history who faced criticism during his lifetime, only to have his work acclaimed as a masterpiece after his death. Describe the life and work of the following mathematicians who faced similar circumstances:

Group 1: PythagorasGroup 2: Leonardo of Pisa (Fibonacci)Group 3: John NapierGroup 4: Galileo GalileiGroup 5: Isaac NewtonGroup 6: Sophie Germain

Due Thurs 2/3, 2-3 min PPT, HC to me One presentation per group.

Define three sets, each of which categorizes U, the set of students in the group, in different ways. Examples include the set of students with blond hair, the set of students no more than 23 years old, and the set of students whose major is undecided. Once you have defined the sets, construct a Venn diagram with three intersecting sets and eight regions. Each student should determine which region he or she belongs to. Illustrate the sets by writing each first name in the appropriate region.

Devise three questions that the pollster will ask to the people being

answers to the three questions. The Venn diagram should contain three intersecting circles within a universal set and 8 regions.

d. Describe what each region in the Venn diagram represents in terms of th
