Chapter 2: THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS Mathematics relies on both logic and creativity‚ and it is pursued both for a variety of practical purposes and for its intrinsic interest. For some people‚ and not only professional mathematicians‚ the essence of mathematics lies in its beauty and its intellectual challenge. For others‚ including many scientists and engineers‚ the chief value of mathematics is how it applies to their own work. Because mathematics plays such a central role in modern culture‚

Mathematics and other subjects shared a inherent relationship. They are interrelated with each other. Without mathematics‚ subjects like are physics‚ chemistry‚ geography‚ economics etc. are incomplete. It possess a variety of applications in connection with other subjects as follows: 1) In geography‚ it is used in weather prediction‚ impact of atmospheric change on aquatic and non-aquatic life. 2) In history‚ it is used to find out the time period from which various artifacts‚ scriptures belong

Mathematical ideas are often divided into two types‚ those that are continuous‚ and those that are discrete. An example of continuous is the number line. Between any two points‚ there are always more points. For discrete sets‚ this is not true. For instance‚ in baseball there are four bases. If you get a hit it is either a one-base hit (what we call a single)‚ a two-base hit‚ a three-base hit‚ or a home run. There is no such thing as a 2 1/2 base hit. Discrete things are found

Exam guide Ch 1: 1. Fill the 3 oz cup‚ pour it into the 5 oz cup‚ which has 2 oz left empty. Fill the 3 oz cup again and pour it into the 5 oz cup until that cup is full. You now have 1 oz in the 3 oz cup. Dump out the 5 oz from the 5 oz cup. Pour the 1 oz into the 5 oz cup. Fill the 3 and dump it into the 5 oz cup‚ giving 4 oz. 2. player 2 marks exactly the opposite. For example‚ if player 1 begins the game by writing X in the first square‚ then player 2 should write O for the first square

INTRODUCTION Statistics and mathematics are everything to economics. infact statistics and Mathematics‚ the economic field wouldn’t even exist. Economist need statistics to represent data‚ to track and store information‚ to identify trends‚ to attribute value and mathematics to calculate those figures.The way to look at the relationship between statistics and economics is that economics is essentially the study of human decisions and trends‚ and how these have a financial impact.

Euclid and His Contributions to Mathematics Euclid was an ancient Greek mathematician from Alexandria who is best known for his major work‚ Elements. Although little is known about Euclid the man‚ he taught in a school that he founded in Alexandria‚ Egypt‚ around 300 b.c.e. For his major study‚ Elements‚ Euclid collected the work of many mathematicians who preceded him. Among these were Hippocrates of Chios‚ Theudius‚ Theaetetus‚ and Eudoxus. Euclid ’s vital contribution was to gather

The Impact of Mathematics on the Physical Sciences Intro Many great mathematicians of the past had an impact on physical sciences. This paper will discuss the historical background‚ respective times‚ and contemporary and modern societal contributions of three of those mathematicians: Archimedes of Syracuse‚ Isaac Newton‚ and Leonhard Euler. Archimedes of Syracuse Archimedes was born in a Greek city-state of Syracuse‚ Sicily in 287 BC. He was killed during a Roman incursion in 212 BC during

The Evolution of Mathematics of Celestial Motion Through Aristotle’s crystalline spheres‚ the Copernican Revolution‚ and Newton’s understanding of Kepler’s laws of planetary motion; it becomes clear that mathematics was the driving force that guided us through the evolution of celestial motion. One of the first to theorize the motion of both terrestrial and celestial bodies was Aristotle around 330BCE. To this philosopher‚ the universe had always been eternally geocentric. On Earth the concept
