Knowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject; (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information; or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with Plato's formulation of knowledge as "justified true belief." There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning. The term knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject with the ability to use it for a specific purpose if appropriate. See knowledge management for additional details on that discipline.

A. in real life, none of those professions need any physics or chemistry background. land developer sees a piece of farmland in the path of future city expansion. Works with banks to finance the purchase of the land. Develops an overall plan for land, shopping center, neighborhood, etc. Hires civil engineers to assess drainage and utilities and elevations etc that meet local codes. Goes to the local government to change the zoning. Hires a general contractor to prep the land according to the civil engineering specs, builds roads, parking lots. Then maybe hires an architect to design commercial buildings etc and hires other contractors to build the buildings. no chemistry. no physics background. real estate agents simply find… [cont.]

How much programing knowledge is needed to become a video game Animator?
Q. I really want to get a job as a video game animator, but I am having trouble learning programing. Does anyone know how much programing knowledge is necessary to get a job as a video game animator?
Asked by Jordan - Tue May 4 17:30:23 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You don't need to know a lot about programming to get a job as an animator. You do need to know a lot about design and animation. Try to get your hands on Autodesk products because they use Renderman Ray Tracing technology which is the industry standard. Blender is good too but it isn't necessarily going to get you a job. Programming knowledge is primarily necessary to become a video game programmer. Animators work with programmers and use their work. That is different.

How could a knowledge of physical science be useful to a muscian or a photographer?
Q. Physical science is the study of matter, energy, and changes they undergo. How would a knowledge in the area be beneficial to a muscian and a photographer?
Asked by Natalie S - Thu Feb 4 15:10:00 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Both music and photography involve a lot of physical science. For photography, physical science is useful for understanding the paths and kinds of light. This will help you become a better photographer. For music, it is very important for understanding the movement of sound.
