Mikhail Lomonosov(1711-1765)

M.V.Lomonosov was born in 1711 in a small near the town of Kolmogori.

At an early age the boy often went with his father to the White Sea and learning much about fishing. The boy did not to school but he was eager to learn and learned to read at an early age.

At the age of 19 he left his home and went on foot to Moscow. He studied hard for five years in the Slavonic-Greek-Latin Academy. As Lomonosov was extremely capable and made great progress, he was sent to Petersburg to study at the Gumnasium of the Academy of Sciences.

In 1736 the Academy of Scientist sent Lomonosov to Germany where he studied chemistry and metallurge. Lomonosov founded the first chemical laboratory in Russia, where he produced stained glass. He formulated the main principle of the Low of Conservation of Matter and Motion. He studied natural reasources of the earth and made experiments with atmospheric electricity. Lomonosov developed the Russian literary language – he wrote the first Russian grammar and wrote poetry, introduced such terms as thermometer, formula, atmosphere, and others into the Russian language.

In 1745 Lomonosov was made academician and appointed professor of chemistry.

The Moscow University was founded in 1755 on the initiative of Lomonosov. Lomonosov was Rector of Petersburg University, during the last years of his life.

Internet education

Data and knowledge are essen­tially inseparable and all their structures are logically, associatively and semantically interconnected. They are a data base, a knowledge base, a models base.

Artificial intelligence issues such as knowledge representation logic, rea­soning, and planning are a concern of both experts and instructors, and a computer assisted instructional system. Some computer systems can be classified by two signs: functions and inner structure. If from the teacher's point of view the system corresponds to the teaching target forms, and consol­idates student's knowledge and practical skills with appropriate rules of obtain­ing knowledge out of data base, then it is an expert education system.

The process of modelling can be regarded as a moment — from complex reality to a model in which reality is deliberately simplified, but the most significant relations and processes are emphasised. The process of dismodelling assumes learner's insight and learner is able to penetrate deeper into the nature of reality.

Education can be enhanced by using all or most of the human senses. Multimedia is now an established technology that delivers (transfers) multisensory information. Under the control of a computer a multimedia system can produce in a single presentation an integration of text, graphics, sound, video and animation. Learning becomes a unique involving experience.

People Power. A human-computer collaborative learning system — it has been implemented in LISP on the Apple Macintosh. A pair of learners is a single cognitive agent whose components are distributed over two brains.

There is recently a lot of interest in computer-based collaborative learn­ing partly because of the resource limitations and partly because it facilitates (makes easy) learning. Collaborative learning is just as good as individual learning and often far superior. The development and introduction of Expert Tutoring Systems are one of the major practical results of new information technology application in the educated system. Intelligent tutoring systems are finding their way from labs into training applications in schools, business, industry and military.

LONDON

London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and cultural centre. London is an ancient city. The popula­tion of London is nine million people.

London is one of the biggest cities of the world and, it is also an important port. It is situated on the banks of the river Thames.

London can be divided into four main parts: the West End, the East End,

the City and Westminster.

The City, the oldest part of London, is the heart of the business and financial life of the country. There are many big banks and various offices here. It is situated round St. Paul's Cathedral.

But the real centre of London is Westminster - the centre of British admini­stration. Most of the government buildings are in Westminster. Here on the bank of the river Thames, we can see the Houses of Parliament with its Clock Tower from which the chimes of famous Big. Westminster Abbey is the place where kings and queens, statesmen, writers, poets are buried. The West End is the part where the rich people live. It is also a fashionable shopping and entertainment centre with the finest theatres, the best hotels, shops and restuarants. The most beautiful London park - Hyde Park is in this district too.

The East End is the poorest part of London. The workers and the poorest people live here. The East End is unattractive in appearance but it is very important in the country's economy.

There are many architectural, art and historical monuments and museums in London such as the famous British Museum, the National Gallery, St. Paul's Ca­thedral, the Nelson Column and others.
