had no not learned math beyond secondary school. As his work developed‚ he drew great inspiration from the mathematical ideas he read about‚ often working directly from structures in plane and projective geometry‚ and eventually capturing the essence of non-Euclidean geometries‚ as we will see below. He was also fascinated "impossible" figures‚ and used an idea of Roger Penrose’s to develop many intriguing works of art. The way MC worked changed the way we view many types of artwork and

1. Types of Reasoning * Inductive Reasoning – * general conclusion based on a limited collection of specific observations * educated guesses * Primary flaw – we cannot be sure the conclusion is always correct * Counterexamples -- show a conclusion reached through inductive reasoning is not true * Deductive Reasoning – * making a specific conclusion based on a collection of generally accepted assumptions. * There are no counterexamples

The problem is believed to have been first introduced by Greek astronomer Ptolemy back in 150 AD1 and then eventually noticed by 17th century Arabic mathematician Abu Ali al Hassan ibn Alhaitham (whose name was later Latinized into Alhazen)2 .

Verify that ABCD is a trapezoid. SOLUTION: First graph the points on a coordinate grid and draw the trapezoid. SOLUTION: The trapezoid ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid. So‚ each pair of base angles is congruent. Therefore‚ ANSWER: 101 2. WT‚ if ZX = 20 and TY = 15 SOLUTION: The trapezoid WXYZ is an isosceles trapezoid

MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM FOR SECONDARY COURSE RATIONALE Mathematics is an important discipline of learning at the secondary stage. It helps the learners in acquiring decision- making ability through its applications to real life both in familiar and unfamiliar situations. It predominately contributes to the development of precision‚ rational and analytical thinking‚ reasoning and scientific temper. One of the basic aims of teaching Mathematics at the Secondary stage is to inculcate the skill

Among these were Hippocrates of Chios‚ Theudius‚ Theaetetus‚ and Eudoxus. Euclid ’s vital contribution was to gather‚ compile‚ organize‚ and rework the mathematical concepts of his predecessors into a consistent whole‚ later to become known as Euclidean geometry. Euclidean constructions are the shapes and figures that can be produced solely by a compass and an unmarked straightedge. Although these tools were indeed simple‚ their range of abilities seemed unlimited. Not only could they produce a multitude

the future? These are a few of the many questions that one asks when they have to take an algebra course. This is a required subject in most colleges to further ones education. The first year of algebra is a prerequisite for all higher-level math: geometry‚ algebra II‚ trigonometry‚ and calculus. It is quite true‚ while many people get by without an education in algebra‚ whenever they pick up the phone‚ manage their money‚ travel to some other place‚ they are unintentionally using math.
