THE IMPORTANCE OF MATHEMATICS W. T. Gowers It is with some disbelief that I stand here and prepare to address this gathering on the subject of the importance of mathematics. For a start‚ it is an extraordinary honour to be invited to give the keynote address at a millennium meeting in Paris. Secondly‚ giving a lecture on the significance of mathematics demands wisdom‚ judgment and maturity‚ and there are many mathematicians far better endowed than I am with these qualities‚ including several

PhD received from Rutgers University in 1986‚ she now studies combinational methods in 3-dimensional manifolds or topology. Topology is the study of how geometric objects are basically connected to themselves. Her contributions to the world of mathematics obtain a number of new classifications and decision results and new proofs of old results using an important cut-and-paste concept called thin position. More specifically‚ she has discovered a simplified argument that an algorithm of Rubinstein

Depth-of-Knowledge (DOK) Levels for Mathematics According to Norman L. Webb‚ Wisconsin Center for Educational Research ("Depth-of-Knowledge Levels for Four Content Areas‚" March 28‚ 2002)‚ "interpreting and assigning depth-of-knowledge levels to both objectives within standards and assessment items is an essential requirement of alignment analysis. Four levels of depth-of-knowledge are used for this analysis." Norman Webb’s "Depth-of-Knowledge Levels for Four Content Areas" include: Language

professional math teacher is to have the ability to create a classroom environment where students are encouraged to take risks and explore problems while learning problem solving strategies. According to the class textbook‚ A Problem Solving Approach to Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers‚ “If problems are approached in only one way‚ a mind-set may be formed.” (Billstein‚ R.‚ Libeskind‚ S.‚ & Lott‚ J.‚ 2010) Teachers need to give students a tool box of strategies‚ such as‚ look for a pattern‚ examine

forget what mathematics actually is! To lockhart mathematics is the use of imagination. Letting students derive their own problems‚ gather their own information and proofs. STOP giving them facts let them DISCOVER the facts for themselves. mathematics is an art‚ “The art of explanation”‚ math teachers aren’t treating it as such and students are noticing that. Math is not about following directions‚ it’s about making new directions. Lockhart says‚ “ The main problem with school mathematics is that there
