When flying high with his waxed wings, Icarus´ chariot was driven by the obstinated black horse, which represents man’s appetites. Icarus´s myth may also be related to Plato´s a nalogy of the chariot. Moreover and going further, considering Plato´s allegory of the cave, Icarus could be linked to the escaped prisoner, who represents the Philosopher, who seeks knowledge outside of the cave (labyrinth). He tried to become wiser than Gods whilst achieving Knowledge and, as he defied the godess, he was punished for that reason.Ī similar interpretation is found in Plato´s myth of Phaethon, as it appears in his elderly dialogue “Timaeus”. Therefore according to this perspective, Icarus has flown too high. The moral of this myth could be also linked to Plato´s analogy of the divided line, in which the Sun symbolizes the highest Form (Idea of God). weighting down the wings by sea-water spray) were advocations for one to respect one’s limits and to act accordingly. melting of the wax wings) or in flying “too low” (i.e. The flight of Icarus could be interpreted as a lesson in the value of moderation. In this sense it highlights the greek idea of Sophrosyne (Greek: σωφροσύνη), which etymologically means healthy-mindedness and from there self-control or moderation guided by knowledge and balance.Īs Aristotle held, as shown in the post, “Aristotle´s Ethical Theory: On The Concept of Virtue and Golden Mean”, v irtue is a kind of moderation as it aims at the mean or moderate amount. The myth of Icarus´moral is to “take the middle way” by warning against heedless pursuit of instant gratification. Henry Murray having proposed the term Icarus complex, apparently found symptoms particularly in mania where a person is fond of heights, fascinated by both fire and water, narcissistic and observed with fantastical cognitio. In the psychiatric mind features of disease were perceived in the shape of the pendulous emotional ecstatic-high and depressive-low of bipolar disorder. Joseph Campbell defined symbols as “giving expression to what is absolutely “unknowable” by intellect”. Symbols are insightful expressions of human nature.They are the external, lower expressions of higher truths and represent deep intuitive wisdom impossible by direct terms. ►Icarus´Fall: “Symbolism and Interpretation”: Icaria is southwest of the island of Samos.Ĭlick on the image above to watch the SlideShare. The island is named for the legendary flying man. The water into which Icarus is said to have fallen is near Icaria, a Grecian Island in the Aegean Sea. ![]() The wings fell to pieces and Icarus fell from the sky. Just as his father warned him would happen, the wax on his wings melted into a useless liquid. He flew so high that he got perilously close to the sun. He was so taken by the experience, that he flew higher and higher. Icarus, however, was overcome by the incredible feeling of flight. If he were to do so, Daedalus explained, the wax that held his wings together would melt, rendering them useless, and Icarus would fall from the sky to his death. Daedalus tried his wings first, but before taking off from the island, warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea, but to follow his path of flight. Minos imprisoned Daedalus himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos’ daughter, Ariadne, a or ball of string in order to help Theseus , the enemy of Minos, to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur.ĭaedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Icarus’s father Daedalus, an athenian craftsman, built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete near his palace at Knossos to imprison the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster born of his wife and the Cretan bull. “Icarus and Daedalus”, by Charles Paul Landon. ![]() ![]() ![]() The LEG ROOM in the front and second rows are enough for my 6'1" 270-lb frame to feel comfortable - I found the Ascent to be more comfortable than other options we looked at.

The precious yellow stones command high prices when they are vividly yellow, otherwise known as the fancy canary diamonds. A variety of the yellow gems can be quite expensive, however, even more expensive than white diamonds. The yellow precious stones do exist, produced by the intrusion of nitrogen into the otherwise colorless precious stones - which is the most common impurity in diamonds. People like white diamonds over the yellow gemstones, however, which explains how white or clear diamonds are so rife in the market to the point that people think all diamonds are white. Yellow diamonds, not clear or white diamonds, are in fact the most common of diamonds, with red and black among the rarest. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think the CueCat works with most of the software below, as well.

Replace the variables with the known values to find S5 S 5. To evaluate it, find the values of r r and a1 a 1. ![]() If | r | < 1 then the limit of the partial sums as n approaches infinity exists and we can write, This is the formula to find the sum of the first n n terms of the geometric sequence. Rn n as m and that the formula for the sum of n terms Sn given by. S n = a 1 ( 1 − r n ) 1 − r = a 1 1 − r ( 1 − r n ) Another type of sequence of numbers is the so-called geometric sequence. Consider the nth partial sum of any geometric sequence, This is read, “the limit of ( 1 − r n ) as n approaches infinity equals 1.” While this gives a preview of what is to come in your continuing study of mathematics, at this point we are concerned with developing a formula for special infinite geometric series. Lim n → ∞ ( 1 − r n ) = 1 w h e r e | r | < 1 This illustrates the idea of a limit, an important concept used extensively in higher-level mathematics, which is expressed using the following notation: Here we can see that this factor gets closer and closer to 1 for increasingly larger values of n. If the common ratio r of an infinite geometric sequence is a fraction where | r | < 1 (that is − 1 < r < 1), then the factor ( 1 − r n ) found in the formula for the nth partial sum tends toward 1 as n increases. For example, to calculate the sum of the first 15 terms of the geometric sequence defined by a n = 3 n 1, use the formula with a 1 = 9 and r = 3. In other words, the nth partial sum of any geometric sequence can be calculated using the first term and the common ratio. S n − r S n = a 1 − a 1 r n S n ( 1 − r ) = a 1 ( 1 − r n )Īssuming r ≠ 1 dividing both sides by ( 1 − r ) leads us to the formula for the nth partial sum of a geometric sequence The sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence, given by the formula: S n = a 1 ( 1 − r n ) 1 − r, r ≠ 1. Subtracting these two equations we then obtain, ![]() R S n = a 1 r a 1 r 2 a 1 r 3 … a 1 r n Multiplying both sides by r we can write, S n = a 1 a 1 r a 1 r 2 … a 1 r n − 1 Therefore, we next develop a formula that can be used to calculate the sum of the first n terms of any geometric sequence. However, the task of adding a large number of terms is not. For example, the sum of the first 5 terms of the geometric sequence defined by a n = 3 n 1 follows: ![]() ![]() is the sum of the terms of a geometric sequence. In fact, any general term that is exponential in n is a geometric sequence.Ī geometric series The sum of the terms of a geometric sequence. In general, given the first term a 1 and the common ratio r of a geometric sequence we can write the following:Ī 2 = r a 1 a 3 = r a 2 = r ( a 1 r ) = a 1 r 2 a 4 = r a 3 = r ( a 1 r 2 ) = a 1 r 3 a 5 = r a 3 = r ( a 1 r 3 ) = a 1 r 4 ⋮įrom this we see that any geometric sequence can be written in terms of its first element, its common ratio, and the index as follows:Ī n = a 1 r n − 1 G e o m e t r i c S e q u e n c e Here a 1 = 9 and the ratio between any two successive terms is 3. For example, the following is a geometric sequence, \begin, where a_1 is the first term of the sequence, r is the common ratio, and n is the term number.A geometric sequence A sequence of numbers where each successive number is the product of the previous number and some constant r., or geometric progression Used when referring to a geometric sequence., is a sequence of numbers where each successive number is the product of the previous number and some constant r.Ī n = r a n − 1 G e o m e t i c S e q u e n c eĪnd because a n a n − 1 = r, the constant factor r is called the common ratio The constant r that is obtained from dividing any two successive terms of a geometric sequence a n a n − 1 = r. To find the common ratio r, we can use the formula: By modifying geometric series formula, Sn a(1-rn)/1-r is equal to a-arn/1-r. I need to find the sum till the nth term. To find the common ratio r of a geometric sequence, we can use the formula:įor example, consider the geometric sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, …. I have a geometric series with the first term 8 and a common ratio of -3. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Although she eventually managed to slay him, she was turned in the process, becoming the last vampire in Ooo.

She became their guardian and ally, and she helped them kill vampires, who had taken over much of the land. Because of this, they viewed Marceline in a brighter light, and realized she was just trying to keep them safe. Marceline heard this, and sat down behind a bush to play the same song Tom was playing. At first, they were understandably fearful of Marceline, however, after following them for some time, a member of the group, Two Bread Tom, sat down and played the guitar to the few remaining members of their group. These humans wore animal hats, presumably to hide the fact they were indeed humans. In the following years, Marceline roamed the Land of Ooo and eventually befriended a tribe of humans. Although she attempted to tolerate his evil and selfish antics, she eventually severed all ties with Abadeer after she discovered him eating fries that she had bought for herself.

However, as Elise's health slowly worsened further, she told Marceline to go to the hide-out on her own, where she was left alone, believing her mother had abandoned her due to her demonic powers. She had her draw a map of the land to get to a secret "club house" where there was supposedly a party happening. Marceline's mother was suffering from an illness, however, attempted to keep it hidden from Marceline as not to worry her. One of Marceline's earliest depicted childhood memories is of her living in a trailer with her human mother, who recounts to her the story of how she met her father. Marceline and her mother both survived the events of the Mushroom War, a mysterious and destructive war that ravaged the earth one thousand years prior to events of the series. Abadeer is the ruler of the Nightosphere, a Hell-like demon dimension, and subsists on the souls of sentient beings. ![]() Roughly a thousand years prior to the events of the series, Marceline was born to a demon lord named Hunson Abadeer and a human woman named Elise.
