Linear algebra

read, and to identify how many times a passage was read before some understanding was achieved. This has been actually one of my best weeks so far, week 6. The topics were linear equations and non linear equations and I was able to remember about them so this time my brain was not that disconnected as normally is with algebra which made me happy. Do not get me wrong, I still had to read multiple times some sections that caused a little confusion, but again it was not that bad and at the end…

and love for problem solving he was a self-taught in mathematician. His major contribution to the world of mathematics was the earliest form of the slide rule, two identical linear…

Slope is an important topic in mathematics. The concept is foundational across a wide spectrum starting with beginning algebra with linear functions, even in advanced algebra to describe non-linear functions, and is entwined with the derivative in calculus (Cho & Nagle, 2017). Research has identified many different conceptualizations of slope that students attain (e.g. Moore-Russo, Conner, & Rugg, 2011; Stump, 2001). For the Student’s Mathematical Thinking Final Project we will focus on…

Amalie, commonly referred to as Emmy, was a German mathematician. Her contributions to algebra have gained her recognition as “the most creative abstract algebraist of modern times” (Encyclopædia Britannica). Noether received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Erlangen in 1907 with a dissertation on algebraic invariants. Shortly after she was invited the University of Göttingen in 1915 by David Hilbert and Felix Klein, Noether used her knowledge of invariants to assist them in exploring the…

I am going to argue that the Doctrine of Recollection resolves the Paradox that Meno poses to Socrates. The Meno’s paradox arises when Meno and Socrates are inquiring into what virtue is. It goes as follows, how will one know that they have correctly identified the object of their inquiry if they do not know the object they are inquiring about? On the other hand, if you know what you are inquiring about then you need not inquire, because you already know. Inquiry seems to be an impossibility or…

Arthur Cayley had a pretty amazing life. He was born on August 16, 1821 in the United Kingdom. His mom was Maria Antonia Doughty and his dad was Henry Cayley, he also had one brother Charles Bagot Cayley. Cayley always had a love for math, even at a young age. He was sent to a private school in the United Kingdom up until he was fourteen years old. At fourteen he was sent to “King’s College School”. At the age of Seventeen he went to a school in Cambridge called “Trinity College” where he…

science major were interviewed to see the importance of college algebra in their degree. Shihan states that Physics without math, especially college algebra would not simply be solvable. Moreover, he considers math to be the basic idea to explain “any quantitative disciplines” in fields such “physics, chemistry, finance, computer science, and economics” (Shihan, 2016). On the other hand, Andrey Stukopin states that college algebra, indeed, is a base for his career in Physics as well as in chess…

A German Jewish mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet…

promising intellectual student at the Faculty of Information Technology, Satya Wacana Christian University. I have known her since she took my Mathematic class. Since then she became Assistant lecturer at some courses such as discrete mathematics, Linear algebra and matrix, and a few programming courses. She also elected as Chairman of the student representatives of the faculty. From there I saw that Vania was responsible and able to manage her time well. She is also friendly, so a lot of…
