Pure mathematics

Whenever I ask college graduate friends like Jon about pure mathematics– courses like Complex Analysis– I am intrigued by the complexity and drawn to its innate beauty. Pure mathematics is the study of the general case, and therefore it is the ultimate challenge. When I visited Harvard’s math department and met with staff, it felt like the perfect fit. At Harvard, I hope…

compulsory is not something that anyone can conclude in an essay. Mathematics is wonderful, phenomenal mind developer, empower the study of other subjects, is a necessary component of any career, everyone needs to undertake an advanced study of math. It is quite a fair point to say math and history are on the same style and structure. human is normally sensitive to similarity as pattern and structure are what actually built mathematics. Mathematics is not a matter of remembering formulae to do…

LITERATURE Henri Poincaré’s valuable ideas were documented in the many books and papers he published on mathematics. Although he never published an autobiography, several biographies have been written about him. Henri Poincaré worked with literature in such a way that the average could easily connect with his ideas. In his lifetime, Poincaré published more than twenty-five volumes of writings (Henri Poincare : Biography 10). Many of his works were constructed originally as smaller…

God may have placed people here on this earth intending for them to live according to his will and his way, and to fulfill a purpose. However, it appears that many people today are failing to live a purpose driven life. Sadly, they’re not living their life with God in mind at all, possibly because they don’t know how, because they don’t believe in God or because they feel they have plenty of time for salvation. Thankfully, for those who have the desire to live a life that is pleasing to God,…

A German Jewish mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet…

Isaac Newton Isaac newton was a religious scientist. Sir Isaac Newton Kt, PRS was an English physicist and mathematician. He saw mathematics and numbers as central. What is less well known is that he was devoutly religious and saw numbers as involved in understanding God's plan for history from the Bible. He did a considerable work on biblical numerology, and, though aspects of his beliefs were not orthodox, he thought theology was very important. In his system of physics, God was essential to…

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…

At that time, Mathematics were divided into four branches: athematic, geometry, astronomy and music. The first two branches were pure, while the other two were applied. Hypatia according to Hesychius (Greek Biographer), worked in the first three. Hypatia taught both arithmetic and geometry for its own philosophic discipline…

is though, why is math so disliked by people? Do we need a new way to teach math? Why is math so important to learn and be able to apply it to our everyday lives? In the New York Times, they explained is there a world of difference between teaching “pure” math, with no context, and teaching relevant problems that will lead students to appreciate how a mathematical formula models and clarifies real-world situation. So, if teachers were to create a new way to teach math, would that make a…
