To what extent is truth different in mathematics‚ the arts and ethics? As the great Socrates ones said‚ that by admiting that you dont know anything‚ so you can learn something that is how I discover the things that I want to know. The only way of knowing things is the way of becoming conscious of our unknowing‚ so we can learn. Awareness of the unknowing is the beginning of knowledge. Thus‚ we can always look for the truth‚ but the best is if never said that we found it. We may just think of the

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

As students‚ we are taught the basics about mathematics. What the core properties of addition‚ subtraction‚ multiplication and division mean. How they work‚ and if we are lucky‚ we go into a little history of these methods. For those of us who have learned history‚ we learned that the basis for modern mathematics came from the Greeks and their writings. While this is correct‚ to truly understand the historical aspect of mathematics and its origins‚ one must study a time before the Greeks‚ when math

In all areas of science and most areas of life‚ a fundamental and logical understanding has seemed to be the only form of understanding that I can fully accept. Mathematics embodies this‚ which is why I find the subject so stimulating and why I aim to study it at university. I have found maths to be an extremely elegant subject‚ particularly Calculus and Proof by Induction. I still find the fundamental concept of taking an infinitely small section of a parabola to allow the gradient to be constant
