TOK Reflection: Mathematics To what extent is math relevant to your life and the lives of others you know and how can it become an even more viable area of knowledge. “In mathematics I can report no deficience‚ except it be that men do not sufficiently understand the excellent use of the Pure Mathematics.” Roger Bacon (1214-1294) Mathematics: the abstract science of number‚ quantity‚ and space; a subject considered by many to be useless‚ a waste of time‚ and too difficult. “When am

(2009) cultural‚ social and personal factors affect consumer behaviour and these issues were discussed in the literature review. Theoretical information related to the scope of this thesis was also presented by Solomon‚ Bamossy‚ Askegaard and Hogg (2006) as well as Noel (2009) among others. The study was conducted by using quantitative research method. Data was collected through conducting an email survey compiled with Webropol. The questionnaire was sent to 505 women who had joined the cosmetics

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

indicated by grouping symbols‚ there is a standard order of operations to be followed. That order is Exponents‚ Multiplication‚ Division‚ Addition and Subtraction from left to right. In mathematics‚ more than in some other forms of written expression‚ ambiguity must be eliminated. Otherwise‚ different people may assign different meanings to the same symbols‚ and communication is faulty. Ambiguity is eliminated using grouping symbols and the order of operations

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.

Soft materials are easy to magnetise and de-magnetise. MAGNETIC FIELD: The area around a magnet where another magnet would feel a force. MAGNETIC FIELD LINES: Show the direction of the magnetic field. The lines run from North to South. Where the field is strong‚ they are close together. INDUCED MAGNETISM: A magnetic material can
