Mathematics

Abstract: This paper reveals the birth of mathematics. Representing quantities in some way is considered the first invention of mathematics. We use mathematics every day in one way or another. Sometimes we even use mathematics unconsciously, as in the case of filing a cup of water for cooking. The measure cup is readily available to us and all we have to do is fill it out, but who started this type of measurement? How old is mathematics? Specifically, how old is counting? When was representing…

As a whole, my experience with mathematics has been a positive one. However, I came to this assumption largely based upon the good grades that I received and the positive feelings that came from seeing those good grades. I think the real reason I like math is because there is a right answer and you can always find out whether or not you reached that correct answer. I was affirmed time and time again for having reached correct answers. However, how deep of an understanding did I have of why the…

As we discover more and more about nature, we find it that nature can be described mathematically. Mathematics plays a fundamental role in…

“Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.” By Richard Courant. Mathematics is not just a mere subject which only consists of numbers but a universal language. Mathematics can be defined as “the study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes and properties, and the logical operations by which…

My intention to study Mathematics stems from my appreciation of the complexity and variety of the different branches which the subject encompasses. In my academic career I have particularly enjoyed the challenge of Further Mathematics, as many skills and disciplines are collated to reach a final and satisfying conclusion. Continuing my studies at Newcastle would give me the opportunity to diversify my knowledge and continue forming a solid foundation for further problem solving in my career.…

repeated application of logical operators. This module will help you to analyze arguments to determine the truth value of it. Objectives: After completing this module, you should be able to: 1. Define Logic. 2. Appreciate the importance of Logic in mathematics. 3. Identify Propositions. 4. Convert Propositions to propositional variables. 5.…

question/theme within the mathematics department that keeps reappearing time and time again is, "when am I ever going to use this" or "when is this going to be useful to me". Even I can say that the same thoughts had crossed my mind when studying surds in year seven. This can be a frustrating sticking point for both students and teachers alike. Consequently more questions have arisen from this such as: are certain topics too abstract? Has the application of mathematics been properly communicated…

Experience with the types of mathematics that precede Calculus II will allow me to not struggle overly with new material such as partial fractions. Calculus II builds on the derivatives and integrals of Calculus I and the knowledge of how to simplify complex functions from Algebra. An…

In the article Mathematics: Guidelines for Study by The University of Alabama Center for Academic Success is about the guidelines for studying math. This article teaches you the correct way to study math in school by previewing, taking notes, reading the textbook, solving problems and analyzing problem. Previewing the material for math is very important to see what is going to be taught in class. For example, skim through your textbook, looking at the headings anything that is bolded and…
