The Logic Diagrams Of Lewis Carroll - History of Math. Lewis Carroll ((1832-1898), born in Daresbury, Cheshire, is best known as the author of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. His real name was Charles Dodgson. His father, the Reverend Charles Dodgson, instilled in his son a love of mathematics from an early age. Lewis studied at Oxford, and later taught there as a Mathematics Lecturer.

He wrote several mathematics books, including Euclid and his Modern Rivals in which he defended the use of Euclid's Elements to teach geometry. His works on logic include The Game of Logic (1887) and Symbolic Logic (1896). One of his favorite hobbies was photography, and he especially liked to photograph children. In addition to photographing them, he enjoyed entertaining his child subjects with stories, at the same time illustrating them with pencil or ink drawings. Lewis Carroll died suddenly after contracting a cold which developed into a serious chest problem.

Carroll also drew a four-set diagram shown below. Exercises 1. 2. Univ. Search. Getting Healthy. Factory Farming: Cruelty to Animals. On today’s factory farms, animals are crammed by the thousands into filthy, windowless sheds and confined to wire cages, gestation crates, barren dirt lots, and other cruel confinement systems. These animals will never raise their families, root around in the soil, build nests, or do anything that is natural and important to them.

Most won’t even feel the sun on their backs or breathe fresh air until the day they are loaded onto trucks bound for slaughter. The green pastures and idyllic barnyard scenes of years past are now distant memories. The factory farming industry strives to maximize output while minimizing costs—always at the animals’ expense. The giant corporations that run most factory farms have found that they can make more money by cramming animals into tiny spaces, even though many of the animals get sick and some die. Cows, calves, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, and other animals live in extremely stressful conditions: You can help end this abuse. DHDSP - Heart Disease Home.
