they measure. Two measurements astronomers use are triangulation (also known in math) and standard candles. Triangulation by technical terms is the method of determining distance based on the principles of geometry. Any type of math and science are closely related the principles of geometry and triangulation in astronomy are then ideological sound. Triangulation as obvious as it sounds uses triangles. So‚ using a three sided shape how can we measure distances in outer space? It sounds complicated

Phytagoras was born in 570 BC‚ on the island of Samos‚ in the Ionian region. Pythagoras was the most recognized Greek mathematician and philosopher through his theorem. Known as "Father of Numbers"‚ he made an important contribution to philosophy and religious teaching in the late 6th century BC. His life and teachings are not so obvious as there are many legends and artificial tales about him. In Greek tradition‚ it is said that he traveled a lot‚ including to Egypt. Phytagoras’s journey to

HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS The history of mathematics is nearly as old as humanity itself. Since antiquity‚ mathematics has been fundamental to advances in science‚ engineering‚ and philosophy. It has evolved from simple counting‚ measurement and calculation‚ and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects‚ through the application of abstraction‚ imagination and logic‚ to the broad‚ complex and often abstract discipline we know today. From the notched bones of early man

Polygons on mathematics Polygons tend to be studied in the first few years of school‚ as an introduction to basic geometry and mathematics. Children find it easy to understand what a polygon is and enjoy learning the names of various polygon shapes. Even toddlers are encouraged to learn about polygons through the use of play pieces. Polygons are fundamental to the study of geometry and learning about them forms a great foundation for middle school

Mathematics is defined as the science which deals with logic of shape‚ quantity and arrangement. During ancient times in Egypt‚ the Egyptians used maths and complex mathematic equations like geometry and algebra. That is how they managed to build the pyramids. Our day today life would be quite strenuous without maths knowledge. There are many ways in which people use maths during the day today living. Below are some ways in which people use maths in daily lives. * Daily life would be very difficult
