The mission of Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival activities is to pique students' interest in mathematics and problem solving. We also strive to open the minds of students who find math hard, tedious, and not useful. The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival was founded in 2007 by Nancy Blachman to provide intellectual stimulation and to enable students to have fun exploring and making mathematical discoveries. What Happens at at Festival The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival is a hands-on…

all countries do. In research, Asian system of education places strong emphasis on mathematical structures from early education until future references which; daily cultural practices and routines promotes excellence in high accomplishments where mathematics is combined with technology and…

He was known for his discoveries of the invarient theory and the axiomatization of geometry. One of the many known ideas that he helped formulate was the cornerstomne of the the amazing functional analysis. Hilbert made great contributions to the mathematic fields in Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. Hilbert also published these mathematical problems called Hilberts Problems. These were decade defining as they were unsolved mathematical problems. Hilbert was also known as the main father of the…

RAMANUJAN’S CONTRIUTION IN MATHEMATICS: Ramanujan’s main contribution in mathematics discusses on mainly in the analytic also game theory and infinite series. He made many in depth analytics in order for the aim to solve various mathematical problems by bringing to light new and novel ideas that gave impetus to progress of game theory. He was such a mathematical genius that he discovered his own theorems of different kinds. Ramanujan stands upright most of the time, he is one of the greatest…

Since the dawn of time, mathematics has been one of the most important fields of study in the world. Throughout the ages, the significance of mathematics has increased and has caused a plethora of new technological advances, such as the cell phone, computer, and calculator. One book that shows the importance of math is Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card. The novel tells the story of a small boy named Ender Wiggins who travels into outer space to fight alien invaders known as “buggers.” Ender is…

The world we know today would be extremely different if Sir Isaac Newton had never been alive or had never published his genius theories. Even today, Newton is still praised for his incredible studies and workings in the area of physics of the universe and calculus. During the time Newton was alive, it seemed as if no human mind could ever begin to detangle and determine any of his findings. He lived in a small village as a child with his mother and stepfather. In his youth, Newton supposedly…

Reflection on Vern S. Poythress “Redeeming Mathematics: A God-Centered Approach” Written by Jordan Baker, Numon Gafurov, CJ Gordon, Charlie Hubbard, and Alex Vander Stoep The Society of Brainiacs - Affiliation NWC Overview: In his book, “Redeeming Mathematics: A God-Centered Approach”, Vern S. Poythress offers a foundational interpretation for all mathematical thought. Driven by his strong love for math along with his strong love for God, Poythress argues that “God’s consistent character and…

University of Warwick) What is Skemp’s central argument? Skemp’s article was written in the 1970’s. He used his expertise in Psychology and Education to challenge the efficacy of mathematics teaching at that point in time. He highlighted the limitations of instructional as opposed to relational understanding in mathematics. Instructional understanding is ‘rules without reasons’ (e.g. learning a formula, without having a deeper understanding of the wider mathematical concepts behind that…

you know/learn in real life, the knowledge loses validity and worth. The areas of knowledge Mathematics and the Arts will be used in this essay to investigate this claim with respect to ways of knowing of Reason and Emotion and the main knowledge question: How do we know what knowledge is considered to have value? The first thing that comes to my mind with this claim is the Area of Mathematics. Mathematics is investigated via Reason. Universal formulas such as the…

understanding why and how we got the answer. This can be done by supporting students’ ability to access concepts from a number of different perspectives. Students can demonstrate a deep understanding by solving short conceptual problems, applying mathematics to new situations, along with speaking and writing about their understanding when solving a math problem. Procedural knowledge if when students are able to become fluent with a written or metal method by making connects to written or…
