Pure mathematics

children become familiar with units of measurement and even simple multiplication and division in the earlier years. This emphasises that although scale drawings as a whole are implemented into the curriculum in senior schooling the elements of mathematics used to solve the problem are introduced sooner which combine to allow the student to reach an answer. Whilst first examining the question it was apparent immediately that dividing the scale drawing by itself down to one enabled the scale to…

Christine Tinsley: Being a Teacher Outside of the Classroom When I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would always say that I wanted to be a teacher. My grade school instructors had a lasting impression on me. There has been a history of teaching in my family, it kind of runs in my blood. My teachers and family made a significant impact on my life and my decision to be a teacher. I would not have become the person I am today without them. I want to be able to do that or be that for…

quantities gave rise to algebraic methods and techniques practiced and taught even today. And, even though nowadays, algebra is a rather abstract mathematics, this was not always the case. It was through centuries of work from remarkable individuals with an undying passion and curiosity that algebra slowly but surely evolved. Introduction In modern day mathematics, the term algebra denotes the manipulation of abstract symbols, solving equations for unknowns,…

I couldn’t agree more. Many of my high school math classes were sent sitting in a room and asking the teacher when we will actually use the skills we were learning in our lives. Their answer, most of the time, would be a job that involved heavy mathematics. Some of the time, however, she would simply admit that the skill wasn’t useful outside of the classroom. Factoring, for example, was, in my opinion, the single biggest waste of time of my high school career. I left high school with an…

3. Compare their performance on the static balance task and on the Up-and –Go test. How did each of them do when getting up out of the chair during the Up-and-Go test? Patient 1: The patient performed activities standing with feet together eyes open and eyes closed without sway or loss of balance for 30 seconds. However, the patient was unable to place her feet in tandem and had moderate amounts of sway upon performance. In contrast, the patient was asked to perform a TUG to assess dynamic…

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.…

While Struggling with a learning disability such as ADHD, the feeling of discouragement and illiteracy negatively impacted my academics as a child. I have faced several obstacles growing up with ADHD, but I realized that adhd is not a “disability”, it’s the ability to process knowledge at my own pace. That self-confidence is what gave me the encouragement and drive to seek a higher level of education and meet all my life goals. When I was a child and others would ask, “What do you want to be…

I had the pleasure of interviewing Arvind Ashok on Tuesday, January 19th at Starbucks in Round Rock, Texas for about forty minutes. Throughout our conversation, he struck me as a young man who while seeming terse and systematic in his answers, was authentic in his thirst for learning inside and outside the classroom and his skill as an on point communicator was present throughout the interview. Arvind grew up in a house with books of all types, which he soon learned were fun and took them in…
