All theorems can be derived‚ or proved‚ using the axioms and definitions‚ or using previously established theorems. By contrast‚ the theories in most other sciences‚ such as the Newtonian laws of motion in physics‚ are often built upon experimental evidence and can never be proved

I think that many math topics have meaning and relevancy and are dependent on the path one takes in terms of finding real world application. For example‚ sports is largely dependent on sports. Decisions are made based regarding playing time as well as strategy based on percentages. In baseball‚ there is a strong use of math. Managers have to make decisions on which pitchers to start and‚ especially so in games of importance‚ those decisions are predicated upon statistical reality. If a pitcher has

IA Task I Introduction and purpose of task: The purpose of this task is to investigate the positions of points in intersecting circles and to discover the various relationships between said circles. Circle C1 has center O and radius r. Circle C2 has center P and radius OP. Let A be one of the points of intersection of C1 and C2. Circle C3 has center A and radius r (therefore circles C1 and C3 are the same size). The point P’ (written P prime) is the intersection of C3 with OP. This is shown in
