The idea of Greek mathematics as a philosophy is a key concept to the history of science. Many of the works of Greek mathematicians such Archimedes Euclid and Plato have fueled the formation of the most important Greek mathematical traditions of the early centuries till this day. There are two traditions of mathematics presented by Greek mathematicians: Practical mathematics and theoretical mathematics or better called abstract. These two fields differ so vastly from one another as they must be…
Having already earned my Bachelor 's degree in Mathematics and Masters of Education Degree, I felt the Lord leading me to a Mathematics Specialist certification. I am open to any opportunity that the Lord would have me go. I feel honored to have found Liberty’s online program in this area. The 2013 Advanced Competency Assessment for a Mathematics Specialist includes thirteen standards of competencies for the mathematics teacher. Each standard is weighted as Met: distinguished, advanced,…
educational transition that significantly affected my mathematics learning. Two such changes that I faced are language I used in my learning and type of mathematical understanding I developed. These changes that were brought about by the educational transition I made influenced my mathematics learning in several ways, both positively and negatively. Language is one of the biggest influences that affected my mathematics learning. Firstly, learning mathematics in…
The Principles and Standards states that “Solving problems is not only a goal of learning mathematics but also a major means of doing so… Problem solving is an integral part of all mathematics learning, and so it should not be an isolated part of the mathematics program” (page 32, ¶3). There are three ways that problem solving might be incorporated into mathematics instruction. They include teaching for problem solving, teaching about problem solving, and teaching through problem solving.…
Engineering Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Degree Objective: Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics Mathematics and violin are the only two things could make me feel peaceful. I don’t want to say how much I love mathematics or how hard I have worked in order for the university to offer me the admission. It is a little hectic to exaggerate a discipline you aim to research. How about just say something about myself and my understanding of mathematics? Mathematics seems ambiguous to many…
(In my lab) Sometimes it is hard to explain my idea because I studied math using only Japanese in school. Although I tried to learn English math words before coming to the U.S, explaining complicated things in a foreign language is not easy. However, I was relieved that minor English mistakes are not problems because my mentor listens to me patiently. Once I come back to Japan, I would like to continue to study more so that I will be able to explain my idea using math words smoothly. On the…
Abstract— The P vs NP problem is still one of the greatest unsolved problem in Mathematics and computer Science. This survey paper is intended to explain what P vs NP problem is and what are the advances that have been made to solve this problem and How closer are we to solve this problem and what is its status i.e. Is P = NP? Keywords— Polynomial, Non - Determinsitic, P, NP, NPC Reductions, Reducibility, Reductions, certificate, complexity I. INTRODUCTION What is P vs NP? Why it is important to…
There are three main branches of study under the umbrella of mathematics including, operational research, statistics and mathematics itself. Operational research (OR) is also known as management science and focuses on the analysis of decision-making processes - especially in large companies or the military. Well-known areas include the analysis of voting systems or game theory. Statistics is driven by real-world problems, mostly issues that can’t be broken down into simpler parts and…
