DISCRETE MATHEMATICS Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. In contrast to real numbers that have the property of varying "smoothly"‚ the objects studied in discrete mathematics – such as integers‚ graphs‚ and statements in logic – do not vary smoothly in this way‚ but have distinct‚ separated values. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis. Discrete objects

world without mathematics‚ yet thousands in the United States alone cannot grasp mathematics‚ cannot learn mathematics because of "Dyscalculia" (also called Dyscalcula). Dyscalculia is a term meaning "specific learning disability in mathematics." People who suffer with a poor memory for all things mathematical have many other symptoms and characteristics. Taken as a whole‚ these coexisting conditions comprise what is termed as "the dyscalculia syndrome." Dyscalculia is an MLD (mathematics learning disability)

The article looked at the overall effect that funded gifted programs have on the gifted students and the detrimental effects this funding has on the non-gifted population in the areas of school achievement as well as the effects and attitudes of school achievement for non-gifted students.

in the usual decimal notation (see the table for its representation in some other bases). The constant is also known as Archimedes Constant‚ although this name is rather uncommon in modern‚ western‚ English-speaking contexts. Many formulae from mathematics‚ science‚ and engineering involve π‚ which is one of the most important mathematical and physical constants.[5] π is an irrational number‚ which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n‚ where m and n are integers. Consequently

Decline of the Greek Mathematics Historically‚ the Greek Mathematics had reached a high level in Greece and its colonies during the Hellenic era‚ beginning in the sixth century B.C.E. and ending in 476 C.E. when the barbarians invaded Rome. Although there were achievements made during the Roman Empire‚ the Greeks have had their best productive times before the Roman Empire – the end of third century B.C.E. Although there might be many reasons why the Greek mathematics decline‚ I think that the

In all areas of science and most areas of life‚ a fundamental and logical understanding has seemed to be the only form of understanding that I can fully accept. Mathematics embodies this‚ which is why I find the subject so stimulating and why I aim to study it at university. I have found maths to be an extremely elegant subject‚ particularly Calculus and Proof by Induction. I still find the fundamental concept of taking an infinitely small section of a parabola to allow the gradient to be constant
