Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem is a formula which involves the solution to finding sides of a right triangle. This theorem is only applicable in situations where the triangle which is being measured is a right triangle which means that one side of the triangle is a 90◦ angle. If the triangle has a 90◦ and you have 2 of the sides of the triangle you can use the equation c^2=a^2+b^2. With this equation one is able to input the corresponding sides of the triangle and get a solution either equaling a missing side or the hypotenuse, the hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle is always going to be C in the equation. This equation can be used in multiple situations other than just finding the missing sides of a triangle, for instance when it can be used to find the length of a radius inside of a circle if you know the distance between points in the circle or used in real life scenarios when you need to know the length of a diagonal object.

Application of Calculus in Psychology and Psychiatry

The use of calculus in my psychology is actually something that is considerably very important in many sectors. The aspect of psychology is the bases of the study of people but to conclude things especially concerning a wide range of people you must conduct experiments which give you values and statistics. In these experiments people are either asked simple questions or are timed or just simply observed, but the results are generally compiled into numbers and sets. With these number sets a researcher is able to create a hypothesis concerning the topic that has been studied, these hypothesis are then tested again and again by comparing the different numerical values that are achieved every time the experiment is redone. These numerical experiments are usually based around standard deviation or average or specific formulas and trends which must be used so that the knowledge that is gathered can be applicable to all the people in a given geographic. The dependency on numerical values is important because with these numbers more authenticity is given to each experiment; it is like the saying says “the numbers don’t lie.” With authenticity given to experiments psychologists are able to start applying theorems and hypothesis on the general people. Also like psychology, psychiatry is very dependent on numbers. Since psychiatry is more medical based one must know proportions to ratios to be able to compute the use of medication depending on people’s bodies and different variables that must be taken into account. With the introduction of medications one must also know of outcomes and the chances of those outcomes affecting your patients, these outcomes could not be possible without numerical experiments that test the reaction in a group of people and compute the normal deviation of people in the group then apply it to the population of the world.
