The Golden Age
The Golden Age is when many of the very important concepts were discovered and invented. It is where famous people, from Newton to Fermat, changed forever the way people view science and mathematics.
Newton's Laws of Motion
Sir Isaac Newton had a great influence in science and mathematics. In his book, Principia, he wrote the laws of motion, or the principles that explain how things move.
The Gas Laws
The gas laws define the properties of gases. Scientists Robert Boyle, Jacques Charles, and Amedeo Avogadro's discovered these gas laws.
Logarithms

Pascal's Triangle
Pascal's Triangle is a group of numbers shaped like a triangle that has many special properties.
Fermat's Last Theorum
In a book, the mathematician Fermat stated that he had found a proof for a theorum but that the margin of the book was too small to contain it. Since then, people have been searching for such a proof but nobody has done so yet. Can you?
The Bridges of Konisburg
This is a tale of some bridges in a Russian town called Konisburg. No matter how they tried, the people who lived there could never cross the seven bridges that connected the town to an island only once.
The Child Prodigy-Gauss
This is the story of Carl Friedrich Gauss at ten years of age. Gauss was a child prodigy in mathematics who stunned his teacher in this incredible tale.
