Theory of Knowledge Éanna OBoyle ToK Mathematics “... what the ordinary person in the street regards as mathematics is usually nothing more than the operations of counting with perhaps a little geometry thrown in for good measure. This is why banking or accountancy or architecture is regarded as a suitable profession for someone who is ‘good at figures’. Indeed‚ this popular view of what mathematics is‚ and what is required to be good at it‚ is extremely prevalent; yet it would be laughed at

Mayan Mathematics In our modern world‚ one can argue that mathematics is a universal language. Numbers have been recorded in various forms throughout time. For example‚ the Babylonians used marks pressed in clay; the Egyptians used papyrus ink brushes to create tally marks; and the Maya introduced a symbol for zero. All these ancient peoples used numerals or written symbols to express what they meant mathematically. They developed their own numeration system‚ which is a collection of uniform symbols

Australia INTRODUCTION Vedic mathematics is the name given to the ancient system of mathematics‚ or‚ to be precise‚ a unique technique of calculations based on simple rules and principles with which any mathematical problem can be solved be it arithmetic‚ algebra‚ geometry or trigonometry. The system is based on 16 Vedic sutras or aphorisms‚ which are actually word formulae describing natural ways of solving a whole range of mathematical problems. Vedic mathematics was rediscovered from the

The Mathematics for Essay 2 The purpose of these notes are to explain some of the mathematics behind Essay 2. Your own essay should not just repeat these arguments but have a more geometric flavor. Write about how you can physically place the blocks. You may assume basic facts about geometric sums and series. Let r be any real number and let n be a non-negative integer. The sum 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn (1) is a geometric sum and the infinite series 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn + · · · (2)

Megara‚ who was a Greek Socratic philosopher who live about a century earlier. His elements is the most successful textbook in the history of mathematics. The principles of geometry are deduced from a small set of axioms. Euclid’s method of proving mathematical theorems by logical reasoning from accepted first principles continues to be the backbone of mathematics and is responsible for that field’s characteristics rigor. Elements is best-known for its geometric results‚ but it also includes many results

Mayans Mathematics The Mayan number system was developed by the ancient Maya civilization of Central America. Similar to the number system we use today‚ the Mayan system operated with place values. To achieve this place value system they developed the idea of a zero placeholder. The Maya seem to be the first people who used a place value system and a symbol for zero. Beyond these similarities there are some significant differences between the Mayan number system and our modern system. The Mayan
