The 17 Equations that Changed the World || Part 1

    There is a book called The 17 Equations that Changed the World. I think it is a great list but I believe that I could change it a bit. So here is my attempt at the 17 world changing equations.

17. The Drake Equation

The equation was proposed by a Frank Drake in 1961. The equation is supposed to show the number of  communicating civilizations on other planets. The reason its at 17 is because it is not solvable with our current knowledge about the universe.

16. The Pythagorean Theorem

This means that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of its legs. This is a core equation in a lot of geometry and algebra. This equations important to math but didn't really impact the world in a great way.

15. Circumference Equation

The equation above is used for finding circumference around a circle. In other words it measures distance around a circle. This is very useful and I believe that it is key to mathematics and the world itself.

14. Chaos Theory

Chaos theory is its own branch of mathematics. It is world changing though. The top image is "May's Logistics Map" It describes evolving through time. It is very complicated and hard to explain. The bottom photo is the double rod pendulum and is a common figure in Chaos Theory. It shows that the change causes a destructive reaction.
