recognizable as the descendants of early geometry. Early geometry[edit] The earliest recorded beginnings of geometry can be traced to early peoples‚ who discovered obtuse triangles in the ancient Indus Valley (see Harappan Mathematics)‚ and ancient Babylonia(see Babylonian mathematics) from around 3000 BC. Early geometry was a collection of empirically discovered principles concerning lengths‚ angles‚ areas‚ and volumes‚ which were developed to meet some practical need in surveying‚ construction‚ astronomy

This course is the first of a two-part series designed for k-8 pre-service teachers to address the conceptual framework for mathematics taught in elementary school. The focus of this course was on real numbers properties‚ patterns‚ operations and algebraic reasoning‚ and problem solving. The relationship of the course concepts to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards for k-8 instruction was also addressed. There were many concepts we learned in this course‚ but I think the most

Introduction Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was one of India’s greatest mathematical figures. He was a child prodigy‚ with a natural instinct for mathematics. As though he could see how everything comes together. He was particularly interested in modular functions and number theory. This essay is divided into two sections. In the first section I will report on Ramanujan’s life. I have decided to take a unique approach‚ and instead of reporting solely based on biographies (and biographies about
