Contribution of India in mathematics The most fundamental contribution of India in mathematics is the invention of decimal system of enumeration‚ including the invention of zero. The decimal system uses nine digits (1 to 9) and the symbol zero (for nothing) to denote all natural numbers by assigning a place value to the digits. The Arabs carried this system to Africa and Europe. 1) Aryabhata is the first well known Indian mathematician. Born in Kerala‚ he completed his studies at the university

HOW TO SUCCEED IN MATHEMATICS. Step 1: Hard work trump’s natural talent. As in most everything ‚ the people who are most successful in mathematics are the one who work the hardest ‚ not those with “natural talent’’ in school‚ those who work hard get better grade in mathematics than the ‘’smart’’ students whom just coast .Most aspect of mathematics can only be learnt by hand practice. This holds true whether you want to develop your problem solving abilities or your computational skills. No one

The construction of a fundamental understanding of numeration and place value concepts forms the foundation for all additional branches of mathematics (Booker‚ et al.‚ 2010). Computational processes and patterns of thinking require a clear understanding of these concepts‚ as they underpin the learning and use of mathematics (Booker et al.‚ 2010). Developing mathematical thinking from an early age is extremely important in establishing students understanding of number concepts. Clements (2001‚ p271)

Teaching is to be effective and to assist young children to advance on their way on independence. Activities that are introduced to the young children must be those kinds of activities that can be performed by their own will.

Was mathematic discovered or created. To elaborate on this more‚ we need to define the terminology first. Discovered is the thing always exist. Someone found it. Invented is the thing did not previously exist. Someone created it. What about mathematics? Mathematics is a tool‚ a model. It is something that we can use to describe or model parts of reality‚ or any other system based on quantifiable things. So‚ is mathematic being created or discovered? People have debated about this over

Dyscalculia is characterized by specific difficulties with certain types of mathematics‚ and this is what differentiates it from other mathematical learning difficulties. If a child has problems with the four basic types of calculation‚ this will indirectly affect their ability in higher mathematics. If there are difficulties in understanding basic numerical facts‚ more complex calculations will also be affected. It simply takes the person with dyscalculia a much longer time to complete different

Mathematics is the abstract study of topics such as quantity (numbers)‚ Structures‚ Space and Change. Mathematics is a science which draws necessary conclusions. It is a broad ranging field of study in which the properties and interactions of idealized objects are examined. As we already know‚ Mathematics is becoming more and more useful to Geologists. Mathematical Geology can be an essential aid in formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena. Geomagnetic
