personalities in the history of science , He was a very peculiar innovator. He invented the Cardan shaft, pillows to reduce allergic reactions (very new in those days) and the combination lock. And he is the best known for the contributions to mathematics, solving the mathematical fourth order equations problem so in 2000 he was found the company with the wish to innovate the financial world, based on the notion of creating robust solutions in the areas of investment and risk management.…

Practitioners can support children’s mathematical development in several ways. Emergent mathematics starts from birth and emerges through play. Maths is used in our everyday lives for example, keeping track of time, shopping, routines or cooking. It's important that children have the opportunity to use resources and have experiences that support emergent mathematics. Practitioners should demonstrate an interest in mathematics so children have a positive view of maths and feel capable of it.…

special about the mathematics that he learns in class. Upon meeting the Professor, the Housekeeper and Root discover that even with his peculiar memory condition, the Professor has a distinct view of the world and showcases extraordinary talents. The trio’s eye-opening experiences together strengthen their family-like bond. Not only do the Housekeeper and Root learn a significant amount of mathematics from the Professor, but they also come to appreciate the value that mathematics holds in daily…

Firstly, math is a language of the universe because the number appears everywhere. The number is the prime of mathematics, and it is not difficult to see the number all around the people. Based on “Math Is the Language of the Universe” of Marcus Du Sautoy, the author states that by starting with the simple number, such as 0 to 9, the people can build more complicating number by putting the primes together. In this case, the number are like the oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen elements that…

Katharina Gsell, though only 5 survived to adulthood. He had 2 spouses. Salome Abigail Gsell from 1776-1783, and Katharina Gsell from 1734-1773. Leonhard was a Swiss mathematician and physicist, which helped in him being one of the founders in pure mathematics. Euler contributed to analytic geometry and trigonometry. Euler's work also revolutionized the fields of calculus, geometry, and number theory. In Euler’s younger years, his father wanted him to be a clergyman. Which is a male priest,…

of life, and how knowing and understanding mathematics will aid them through life (Sparrow, 2008). I will have high expectations for all students no matter what there aptitude or ability may be towards mathematics. This will enable students to believe that they are capable of achieving and learning any mathematical concepts that they may be face with (Rubie-Davies, Peterson, Sibley, & Rosenthal, 2015). One of the biggest contributes to my mathematics classroom will be the important of…

A relationship with numbers and codes is my fate. I learned math for an Olympic Mathematics Competition that I’ve been involved in since I was 9 years old. I became familiar with algorithms like congruence, Horner algorithm and graph theory before I could use a computer. Now as a senior in the school of mathematics at XX University, one of the top three mathematical schools in China. I chose math as my major to build a good mathematical foundation to thoroughly learn about computer science. With…

Influenced through encounters with China and the West, the Japanese explored mathematical topics that were relevant to their time, which led to Japan’s shift from wasan (和算, Japanese Mathematics) to yôsan (洋算, Western Mathematics) in the Meiji era, and ultimately various technological advancements. As seen in Japan’s first encounters with the west, Sakoku (鎖国, the national seclusion policy) was the direct result of distrust of the Christian missionaries, which led to limited trade of ideas. In…

Friedrich Bernhard Riemann was a German mathematician who made huge contributions to the field of mathematics, and more specifically calculus. Riemann was born on September 17, 1826 in Breselenz, Germany. His father, Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, was a poor pastor, and his mother, Charlotte Ebell, died before her children had reached adulthood. Growing up, Riemann showed exceptional skill with mathematics, such as his abilities in calculation. In fact, in 1840, Riemann went to live with his…

following questions will engage students in higher level thinking and mathematical reasoning: “Is there another way to get this answer?” and/or “Can you explain how you got your answer?”. This strategy is from the National Council of Teachers for Mathematics, “Teaching and Learning Principles from PtA”, which entails asking essential questions that are to be a catalyst for deeper levels of thinking (NCTM, 2014). This formative assessment helped me see if they conceptually understood the lesson…
