2) Historically, calculus has achieved many distinctions in its application of mathematics. Discuss. (20 marks)

there was this other good one someone had on their sig a while ago. :

Allow about 40 minutes for this section.

“Maths has previously been an enormous vessel for change."

Discuss the impact and influence of Pythagoras’ theorem on society and individual notions of change. Refer to the stimulus theorems and at least two other theorems of your own. Do not forget to incorporate evidence in ancient Greek. Write this discussion in a television script format.

lol. TV transcript.

Host: Today we have a very special guest with us.. introducing Mr. Pythagoras. This interview will be brief, since he must be returned as soon as possible to his time stream or we may never had progressed in society!

Pyth: WTF.. where am i. wtf.

Host: Do not worry Mr. Pythagoras, you are in safe hands, tell me, what is you favourite thing about triangles?

Pyth. wtf.. wtf.. erm.. triangles you say? I like triangles. yes i do. woooo..oo..

< screen fades to picture of a triangle > < Que audience clapping and cheering>

Host: Yes that very nice, how did you come up with that theoreom anyway?

Pyth: well one day, i was sitting under a tree and a triangular apple fell of and hit my head. So i ate the stupid fruit. and.. then.. i realised in an epiphany of chewing.. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 !!!!!!

Host: ......... oh...... .. .. . . . right well you had better get back to ancient greece then..
< clap clap >
< screen fades to black>
< Pythagoras is printed in metallic font across screen with cheesy heavy metal in the background>
