quantities gave rise to algebraic methods and techniques practiced and taught even today. And, even though nowadays, algebra is a rather abstract mathematics, this was not always the case. It was through centuries of work from remarkable individuals with an undying passion and curiosity that algebra slowly but surely evolved. Introduction In modern day mathematics, the term algebra denotes the manipulation of abstract symbols, solving equations for unknowns,…
origins of mathematics and how mathematics can be found in everyday life. The film shows you how it all began by taking Donald back to ancient Greece. Pythagoras is the father of mathematics and he showed us how everything does in fact include math in it. Pythagoras learned that from taking one thread of string and dividing it in half then dividing that in half and so on, he learned they each have their own tones due to each length of the strings. He realized music can be produced by mathematics…
Historically these populations continue to perform poorly in mathematics. The crisis in mathematics learning among minority and low-income students is a great concern. With the implementation of Common Core Mathematics, there is an even greater push for boosting mathematical literacy. Mathematical literacy is considered a valuable knowledge and skill in an increasingly competitive global economy. Due to the abstract concepts within mathematics curriculum, I must find creative instructional…
at school, math and science were my favorite subjects. I was really good at math and science subjects, enjoyed solving math problems, and would easily understand mathematic and scientific ideas and lessons. On the other hand, I witnessed that most girls dealt with mathematics and scientific lessons in a different way. They hated mathematics and didn’t enjoy solving math problems like I did. Instead, they were more interested to literature and social sciences. As I grew up, I also came to believe…
The Value of Practice in Mathematics and Natural Sciences With respect to two areas of knowledge, consider the claim “Without application in the world, the value of knowledge is greatly diminished." Knowledge is a treasure; without it, we would not be where we are. The only reason why the human race has lasted so long is because of the application of knowledge. What is knowledge? Knowledge is the accumulation of ideas and concepts in someone’s mind. Knowledge can be taught or can come from…
LITERATURE Henri Poincaré’s valuable ideas were documented in the many books and papers he published on mathematics. Although he never published an autobiography, several biographies have been written about him. Henri Poincaré worked with literature in such a way that the average could easily connect with his ideas. In his lifetime, Poincaré published more than twenty-five volumes of writings (Henri Poincare : Biography 10). Many of his works were constructed originally as smaller…
Mathematical biology is the use of mathematical models and concepts to help understand the biological world and the processes of disease. As of today, it is one of the fastest growing research areas in mathematics. Mariel Vazquez is a mathematical biologist and specializes in the applications of topological methods and computational tools to the study of DNA rearrangements, DNA and protein interactions, and DNA packing. Born and raised in Mexico to engineer parents and grandparents, Vazquez…
intellectually disabled, that student can benefit from such things as group help. Other students, or a teacher, can read the math problem to a student and help him or her interpret the problem. If the student is otherwise proficient in computational mathematics, the student will easily see how to work the…
Mathematics: The Greatest Legacy from Ancient Greece to the Modern World The greatest legacy of Ancient Greece to the modern world is mathematics. Ancient Greece was the source of great mathematicians like Archimedes, Pythagoras, Euclid and Eratosthenes who provided the modern world with a strong base to the knowledge we have today. They gave the modern world hydrostatics, the volume of a sphere and the calculation of pi which is used to design impressive sea vessels, industrial tanks and…
