essence of making Number based Mathematics meaningful is to bring the subject to life and allow the learner to think for themselves‚ giving them the responsibility for their own learning. Teachers today need to facilitate the learning of mathematics‚ as opposed to “teaching” it and allow each learner to assimilate the concepts in their own way. Michael Ymer is an experienced Mathematics teacher who has been involved in many Victorian and National initiatives in mathematics. He works as a consultant in

Anthony Reid Math308 Biographical Sketch: Thales and Hypatia Thales While it is clear that Euclid definitely set a precedent for geometry and mathematics as a whole‚ he was not alone in his work‚ his endeavors‚ or his ideas. He certainly was not the first to come up with these theories or rules for geometry either. Before there was Euclid‚ there was Thales of Miletus. Thales‚ along with other mathematicians or “geometers” laid some of the foundation for Euclid to compile in order to write the

who are sharing my major is a great way to find people within my field. Especially since the mathematics program is very small‚ I feel as though we will be a tight knit group of individuals and all help each other reach our goals. Another one of my goals for GT1000 is to find out exactly what jobs I can pursue with this math degree. All I know is that I was in love with math and wanted to teach mathematics ever since I was 8 years old. However‚ I do not believe that 8 year olds should be making life

adolescence‚ Sharon Olds defines a young girl who has the capacity to judge adolescent emotion with the benefit of time‚ for she is now a mother herself. This definitive view of adolescent values and thought is mingled with the mystery of symbolic mathematics‚ which represents a maturity of this thought and a colorful insight into the development of a young girl as she becomes a woman. This poem also accentuates the mystery associated with the minds of the female gender‚ and the strength of the adolescent

obod NOVEMBER 14‚2012 1. What is set? Answer: A set in mathematics is a collection of well defined and distinct objects‚ considered as an object in its own right. Sets are one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics. Developed at the end of the 19th century‚ set theory is now a ubiquitous part of mathematics‚ and can be used as a foundation from which nearly all of mathematics can be derived. In mathematics education‚ elementary topics such as Venn diagrams are taught at a young

because I am interested in mathematics that is hard to be pictured in your mind‚ unlike geometry or equations. An imaginary number is the square root of a negative number. That is why they are called imaginary‚ what René Descartes called them‚ because he thought such a number could not exist. In this paper‚ I will discuss how complex numbers and imaginary numbers were discovered‚ the interesting math of complex numbers‚ and how they are used in other areas of mathematics and science.
