Mathematical proof

Early Childhood & Early Life Kurt Friedrich Godel was born on April 28, 1906, in Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic. At the time of his birth, it was a fabric-producing city in the Austro-Hungarian area of control/area of land of Moravia and was known as Brunn. His father, Rudolf Godel, was, at first, a fabric worker. Later, he became the manager and eventually the part owner of the Friedrich Redlich fabric factory. His mother, Marianne Godel (nee Handschuh) was educated at a…

Summary The article “After the Fact” by Jill Lepore examines how easily influenced society is in terms of distinguishing what is actually true and what people tend to perceive is the truth. The main argument of this article outlines the idea that “the place once held by “facts” is being taken over by data” (Lepore, 2016). In the article, she also argues that citizens are easily lured by claims made by politicians, rather than reasoning with their own judgment. For example; she states that…

The majority of the examples he uses are anecdotes, either from his personal life or from history. While anecdotes can often be reasonably used to support an argument, they are far from conclusive proof due to their inability to reveal larger patterns. For instance, Carr’s example of Nietzsche’s typewriter affecting his writing and thinking does not definitively prove that the Internet will have the same effect. The single study he references, which…

philosophical, musical, and geographic observations and inferences. A large portion of Ptolemy’s written work is based on the observations of Hipparchus, causing some historians to question the amount of original work Ptolemy has produced. Ptolemy’s mathematical achievements include trigonometry tables that have the ability to calculate the positions of various celestial bodies such as…

Critical numeracy is the ability to think discernibly about the way mathematical concepts are being used in everyday contexts, such as the media (reference).The ability is particularly relevant in the light of media claims about sensitive social issues and in the light of advertisements that make claims for products on the market. As teachers, we want to cultivate critical minds that analyse and understand how the media can manipulate their view on almost every topic, since we cannot make sense…

theistic views and why they are wrong. However, through scrutinizing his article that discussed theistic proofs, the Cosmological and Teleological Arguments, the problem of evil, and atheistic comfort, one can still come to the conclusion that there is a God. In his article, McCloskey discussed theistic proofs that theists developed in order to verify the existence of God; however, since these proofs are false, according to his examination, they…

for insurance companies, consulting firms, government, employee benefits departments, or, more generally, in businesses that need to manage financial risk. A career as an Actuary is better described as a business career with a mathematical basis than as a technical mathematical career. Actuaries describe their work as challenging and interesting and generally enjoy a good working environment. Finally, I would like to restate that I would like to pursue a degree in Actuarial Science to employ as…

I have a solid foundation in quantitative skills and economic theory. During my first year of undergraduate studies, I was able to score high firsts on all mathematical modules and the essay components of all the economics modules. I also took the initiative to immerse myself in mathematics. E.g. I practised my quantitative skills as a child through competing on Mathletics.com and became the top 100 Mathematicians…

The theory originates from Einstein’s search for a “law” of nature (previously mentioned) that would explain an issue that occurred to him when he was sixteen. The issue is mathematical in origin and would probably induce insanity and/or suicidal thoughts by trying to explain it in depth. The gist (I say that a lot) of it, however, is this: Time and space work together, right? Right. So imagine, instead of North and South on…

needs of the teachers to reach the maximum number of students since the previous mathematical instruction did not according to the state test. A new curriculum that promotes teaching and learning computation skills, explanations and proofs, real-life applications and problems solving in mathematics is welcomed in my classroom. The purposed new curriculum focuses on the students gaining a better understanding of mathematical concepts. The new curriculum focuses on engaging students in doing…
