__**Phase 1:**__ __**Brahmagupta:**__ was one of the most significant mathematician/astronomer of ancient India, who lived in Ujjain during the 7th century, (from 598 to 670). His dads name was Jisnugupta. Brahmagupta wrote important things on astronomy and mathematics. He wrote “Brahmasphutasiddhanta”. In english it would be called “ The Opening of the Universe”. It was written in 628. It is 25 chapters and Brahmagupta says that the book was written at Bhillamala, which is now called the city of Bhinmal, which is the capital of the of the area that is ruled by the Gurjara Dynasty. He introduced the concept of basic math, he considered zero a number and the used mathematics and algebra in predicting and describing astronomical events. Brahmagupta's ideas had an impact on later European developments. It was translated into Arabic from his own weird Sankrit language, and therefore took their place among the stones of Western mathematics. Brahmagupta's treatise held mathematical and astronomical concepts that are now taken for granted, but they were concepts that he created or refined from ideas he received. Brahmagupta's first treatise was called “Brahmasphutasiddhanta” (which means "The Correctly Established Doctrine of Brahma" but often called “The Opening of the Universe”), was written in 628, when he was about 30 years old. The second was called “Khandakhadyaka”, which means "Edible Bite"). It wasn’t as well know, it expands on the work of an earlier astronomer, Aryabhata, whose chief contribution was the idea of beginning each day at midnight. It was written in 665. Brahmagupta’s description of the movement of the planets and stars were based on mathematical calculations to a point that earlier astronomers has not accomplished. He was able to correctly predict the rising and setting of the planets and trace their trajectories threw the sky. While the ancient Greeks and the Babylonians had began to believe a major blow by predicting eclipses, Brahmagupta redid their computational process and helped to spread the knowledge of these phenomena to communities where eclipses were still considered as divine signs.

__**Abraham Bar Hiyya Ha-Nasi:**__ was alive during the 12th century. Abraham was born in 1065 and died 1136. He was a Spanish, Jewish philosopher,astronomer, astrologer, and a mathematician. He was known for dispersing the quadratic equation. He wrote several scientific things involving astronomy, mathematics, land observation, and calendar calculations. He also wrote two religious book, one on Judaism and The Hebrew Bible. Even his religious books contain scientific theory. Abraham Bar Hiyya Ha-Nasi’s “Megillat ha-Megalleh” (“Scroll of the Revealer”) was also astrological about nature. It was thought to forecast the messianic future. He is sometimes referred as Savasorda, because he had a civic office in the Muslim origination of Barcelona. _ _  __**Phase 2:**__ 1. Suppose a farmer has 2400 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular field. What is the largest area that the farmer can enclose? 360.000 yards or 1,080,000 feet I divided 2400 by 4 the times what number I got (600) by its self. Which gave me my answer.

2. The owner of a ranch decides to enclose a rectangular region with 270 feet of fencing. To help the fencing cover more land, he plans to use one side of his barn as part of the enclosed region. What is the maximum area the rancher can enclose? 9,112.5 feet

3. A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular region bordering a river using 2000 feet of fencing. He wants to divide the region into two equal parts using some of the fence material. What is the maximum area that can be enclosed with the fencing? 333,333.33 feet

__**Part 2 of phase 2**__ t represents time in seconds after the object is let go g represents acceleration v represents a constant that is based on the gravitational force of the earth and represents 1/2 of g h represents the initial height from which the object is let go

1. Some fireworks are fired vertically into the air from the ground at an initial velocity of 65 feet per second. Find the highest point reached by the projectile just as it explodes. 66.015625

2. A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of /come ask me/feet per second. If the ball started from a height of 10 feet off the ground, determine the time it will take for the ball to hit the ground? x= 4.331875, x= -0.133125

 phase three and four are in a pages document because I don't want it to get messed up.
