Introduction Mathematics is an indispensable subject of study. It plays an important role in forming the basis of all other sciences which deal with the material substance of space and time. What is Mathematics? Mathematics may be described as the fundamental science. It may be broadly described as the science of space‚ time and number. The universe exists in space and time‚ and is constituted of units of matter. To calculate the extension or composition of matter in space and time and to

A mathematician is a person whose primary area study is the field of mathematics. Mathematicians are concerned with logic‚ space‚ transformations‚ numbers and more general ideas which encompass these concepts. Some notable mathematicians include Archimedes of Syracuse‚ Leonhard Paul Euler‚ Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss‚ Johann Bernoulli‚ Jacob Bernoulli‚ Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī‚ Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann‚ Gottfried Leibniz‚ Euclid of Alexandria‚ Jules Henri Poincaré‚ Srinivasa Ramanujan

Mathematically Short Essay: Understanding Mathematics and Linguistics How is Mathematics and Linguistics related with each other? Linguistics is the science of language. Linguists seek to understand the proper uses of natural human language. How languages are structured‚ how and why they vary and change‚ how they are acquired‚ and how people‚ in communicating use them. Mathematics on the other hand is the language of science. It is used to understand areas as diverse

Alexis Sorensen Kant Final James Griffith 1:30-3:00(T/TH) 11/17/12 Pure Mathematics Immanuel Kant‚ a Prussian philosopher during the 1700s‚ examined the basis of human knowledge and its existence. Through rationalism and empiricism‚ Kant developed an individual model that supported the concept of pure mathematics. Kant’s logic allowed him to prove concepts that appeared unable to be proven. Pure mathematics‚ as an a priori cognition‚ can be considered to be an example of a concept that may

Roman Mathematics Introduction The system of Roman numerals that we know today is a numeral system that originated from ancient Rome‚ and was adapted from Etruscan numerals. The system used in antiquity was slightly modified in the Middle Ages to produce the system being used today. The grandeur days of Rome did not emphasize on mathematics as a discipline and discover new abstractions. The Romans were more absorbed in applying mathematics in engineering and architecture to improve the quality

Scope of mathematics This article will provide an overview of the NCTM process and content standards. Educators first studying the standards may feel overwhelmed with the amount of content addressed within each grade-level span. State frameworks that dictate standards for each grade level exacerbate this situation. However‚ a longitudinal view will show how the same topics are developed over several years in a spiral and interconnected pattern. For example‚ the

Mathematics is a subject that I have thoroughly enjoyed throughout my school years. The challenge of thinking and the process of logic always attract me to Mathematical problems‚ however difficult and regardless of the form in which they come. My aptitude towards mathematics aroused because of its simplicity‚ that as long as you follow the right steps in a systematic order‚ you will reach the correct answer. At the same time‚ the challenge which it provides‚ with its complex yet logical questions
