When I was younger I didn’t have much to do. Since my school gave me a deficient amount of homework‚ I would be bored most of the day. Then one Christmas my mom gave me a miniature remote controlled car. The car was a crimson sports car with charcoal flames running down either side. On the rear of the car was a pitch-dark spoiler with a red line streaming down the middle. There were small rubber spikes all over the tires built for traction. However‚ the main thing that made me love the car was

The evolution of mathematics might be seen as an ever-increasing series of abstractions‚ or alternatively an expansion of subject matter. The first abstraction‚ which is shared by many animals‚[19] was probably that of numbers: the realization that a collection of two apples and a collection of two oranges (for example) have something in common‚ namely quantity of their members.Evidenced by tallies found on bone‚ in addition to recognizing how to count physical objects‚ prehistoric peoples may have
