Physicians and Math SUMMARY There are many different kinds of physicians and they all have to be fluent in mathematics. It is very important to their job and to their patients. If math is used incorrectly it may result in over dose or under dose of the patient and may cause many more problems for the physician or doctor. Many people do not think that math is required in the medical field, however, they are incorrect. Math is used on a daily basis in medicine. A physician is a person…

objects that appealed to several different senses and were designed specifically to teach mathematical concepts and since the early 1900’s they have come to be considered as an essential tool in their teaching. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) recommends manipulative…

solving test, you will be given a situation and then a question. Then, you will interpret the problem and find the solution to the problem. Since we have been answering a lot of problems in college and even in high school, from different branches of Mathematics and even Sciences like Physics 31, I, in my own understanding of modeling, you’re given an event that happens within a frame and you have to describe what happens in the event as time progresses in terms of a mathematical equation. Since…

the enlightenment. Isaac Newton developed and contributed in huge ways that play a very big factor in the Enlightenment and in the way we comprehend the world today. Sir Isaac Is responsible for the creation of calculus which is a big brand of mathematics, this is still largely used in the world today. Also his most famous contributions were his theories of universal gravitation his his three laws of motion. The theories are widely accepted and his laws of motion are some of the most…

The history of mathematics in the near consisted of three distinct divisions of time. The mid-third millennium is when there became evidence for knowledge of symmetry and geometry. Then continuing on into the later third millennium the establishment of accounting for time and labor became prevalent as well as the use of the sexagesimal place value system. The first systematic accounting techniques were developed in the southern Iraq city of Uruk as a result of a growth in the size of the city by…

and through this, they can apply mathematical techniques to everyday world problems in order to come up with alternative ways to solve those problems which eventually lead to a new solution that can possibly benefit you and the world around you. Mathematics are used everyday, no matter the career, whether it be in business to calculate your company's sales and projections or for any science career (especially physics), to have the ability to create solutions that can improve your understanding…

Religious Influence on the Spread of Mathematics An Academic response to The Music of the Spheres Some may find it hard to believe that the greatest of all historical mathematicians were influenced by their own spiritual and religious beliefs, and indeed, without religion, one could argue that we would not have advanced to the mathematics we have today. Surely, humanity would have eventually arrived to the same fundamental understands of numbers and geometry, but one has to doubt if the…

So many people have different interpretations of mathematics, in elementary school we learn that if you have 5 apples and your neighbor takes 3 away you are only left with 2. In middle school we were shown that there are 360 degrees in a circle and a numerous variety of rules and theorems that seemed only relevant for that section. We learned about sine, cosine, and tangent, which were chiseled in our brain. In high school we were introduced to things I didn’t know existed, such as derivatives,…

Wallis discovered the Infinite Product π4 = 23x43x45x65x67xxx, and his colleague William Brouncker transformed this into the Infinite Continued. Which today is what we know as Calculus. Which if you don’t know what Calculus is, it is the branch of mathematics that deals with the finding and derivatives and integrals of functions by methods originally based on the summation of infinitesimal differences. Facts you should know about John Wallis! The first fact I want to talk about is when and…

interesting and I learned many knew things about Dr. Heitz. Dr. Heitz has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in mathematics from the University of West Texas and has recently received his doctorate degree. He currently teaches college Algebra, finite math method for teachers, geometry, and sometimes calculus or trigonometry. Dr. Heitz said that he always knew that he wanted to teach mathematics. When he went to college he received a scholarship to go to the University of West Texas. There he…
