It is amazing the things that the brain can do and how the brain adapts to perform calculations. One important aspect of learning math is the language. It doesn’t matter how fluent is a person in a second language‚ the person will make calculation in their first language. (Sousa‚ 2015). The author of this paper learned math in Spanish. He also performed most of his calculation in Spanish. It takes him a longer because he needs to translate from Spanish to English and vice versa. According to

Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating in amount greater than what is physiologically necessary to maintain homeostasis [1-5]. This condition may be primary (idiopathic) or secondary to an underlying disease or medication. Only primary hyperhidrosis (PHH) will be addressed in this work. Primary hyperhidrosis is a dermatological and neurological disorder caused by an abnormal activity of the eccrine sweat glands. A noteworthy portion of patients experiencing excessive sweating

domain Thales was the Chief of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece‚ and has been called the "Father of Science‚" the "Founder of Abstract Geometry‚" and the "First Philosopher." Thales is believed to have studied mathematics under Egyptians‚ who in turn were aware of much older mathematics from Mesopotamia. Thales may have invented the notion of compass-and-straightedge construction. Several fundamental theorems about triangles are attributed to Thales‚ including the law of similar triangles (which

Pattern recognition is a useful tool for mathematics‚ mathematical visualization‚ and art. After a brief description of Bongard’s methodology in the field of pattern recognition‚ the author introduces the concept of colour modularity and evaluates how it affects pattern recognition classification. Combining Bongard’s methodology and colour modularity‚ the author attains a richer‚ more persuasive dynamic in pattern description and recognition of five- and ten-pointed star polygons.".

Mathematics is all around the young child from day one. For example certain matters like “How old are you?” “You were born on the 2nd” “I have 2 brothers”. Number itself cannot be defined and understand of number grows from experience with real objects but eventually they become abstract ideas. It is one of the most abstract concepts that the human mind has encountered. No physical aspects of objects can ever suggest the idea of number. The ability to count‚ to compute‚ and to use numerical relationships

Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS RELATED LITERATURE Introduction A well designed lesson with interesting activities becomes meaningful only when they affect the student in the process (Astin‚ 1993). A carefully designed teaching method can make teaching and learning effective (Chianson‚ 2008). One of these many teaching methods that result to positive effect on students’ achievement and retention of information is cooperative learning (Johnson & Johnson‚ 1991). Cooperative learning due to

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
