There are many examples of artists who have been inspired by mathematics and studied mathematics as a means of complementing their works.

have to check for any problems that can occur in proving a theory. However‚ proofs alone are not enough to make sure that a concept is true. In order to consider if a mathematical statement is true or not‚ we can use the formal system‚ developed by Euclid. This model of reasoning includes three key elements: axioms‚ deductive reasoning‚ and theorems. To reason formally‚ you must accomplish these steps in this order. The simplest form of proof is using the axiom system‚ which is a basic assumption

mathematics today because they did not use what are now our basic symbols like the plus sign (+)‚ minus sign (-)‚ or even the equals sign (=) and they used pebbles to do calculations (Rihll 41). A lot of these finding came during the Hellenistic period. Euclid was a pioneer in geometry- many of the things he contributed to the subject with Elements- still are true today (Rihll 54). Some examples of his postulates are: “[It is possible] to draw a straight line from any point to any point‚ ‘’ to describe
