Philosophy of mathematics

CTET FEB (2016) - PAPER 2 SOCIAL STUDIES 44. (4) Famous Indian mathematician Aryabhata wrote the famous Aryabhatiyam book. The Aryabhatiyam is reference manual for mathematics and many of its facts and figures are still used in the modern society. The book was written in Sanskrit language and comprises 121 verses. 45. (2) Lord Buddha delivered his first lesson at Sarnath to his five beloved disciples (name). The very first lesson delivered by Lord Buddha is popularly known as Dharmachakra…

philosopher and mathematician. (O'Connor & Robertson, 1999d) As a young man, Pythagoras visited Thales in Miletus, and Thales had been able to create “a strong impression” upon Pythagoras. Pythagoras also attended Anaximander's lectures on cosmology and mathematics while in Miletus; these also influenced him. (O'Connor & Robertson, 1999d) Pythagoras taught that the earth was a sphere, and he is claimed to be the first man to do so. (Mcclung,2011) However, according to Mcclung, there seems to be…

Engineering Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Degree Objective: Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics Mathematics and violin are the only two things could make me feel peaceful. I don’t want to say how much I love mathematics or how hard I have worked in order for the university to offer me the admission. It is a little hectic to exaggerate a discipline you aim to research. How about just say something about myself and my understanding of mathematics? Mathematics seems ambiguous to many…

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…

Lesson Analysis & Reflection The lesson analysis and reflection will be over a mathematics lesson taught to a small group of second graders in a resource room. The timing of this lesson was appropriate. I had enough time to go over the lesson thoroughly. I finished a few minutes early and was able to re-iterate the strategies taught during the lesson. I was also able to implement more problems to make the lesson more concrete for a better understanding of the strategy. The benefits of this…

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…

which geometry became to have a large impact on high school math education (Gagatsis, Demetriadou 105). The Greek’s curriculum followed the Bavarian curriculum which focused 53.2% on literature and 19.2% on mathematics (Gagatsis, Demetriadou 105). The Greek syllabus in 1857 for mathematics included plane geometry (angles, lines, circles) and space geometry (solids, area, volume) (Gagatsis, Demetriadou 105). They also included analytic geometry which is “the study of conic sections…

Throughout my life mathematics has been something that is always pushing me to go beyond my limits and discover something new. Something that I thought I could never have achieved before. Every single time I face a new and exciting problem, I look forward to trying my best to find the best way to solve the problem. Along the years this evolved into some sort of life statement. I always wanted to try to be as exact, precise, accurate, analytic, and logical with every single issue I encountered…

Speaking in Numbers: The Language of Mathematics Literacy is commonly used to refer to one’s ability to speak and decipher a language. However, it is possible to be literate in areas or skills besides traditional spoken language. For example, it is possible to be literate in sign language, or mathematics. After all, mathematics is defined by Dictionary.com as “the systematic treatment of magnitude, relationships between figures and forms, and relations between quantities expressed symbolically.”…

1. What developed your interest in computer science? How will the EP program support your future goals? My passion for computer science did not develop because of a single occurrence, but rather it grew steadily over a period of several years. My introduction to programming came in elementary school when my sixth grade teacher set aside time each week to teach the class basic programming concepts using JavaScript. I am grateful for this early exposure because individuals from other…
