Was mathematic discovered or created. To elaborate on this more‚ we need to define the terminology first. Discovered is the thing always exist. Someone found it. Invented is the thing did not previously exist. Someone created it. What about mathematics? Mathematics is a tool‚ a model. It is something that we can use to describe or model parts of reality‚ or any other system based on quantifiable things. So‚ is mathematic being created or discovered? People have debated about this over

Contribution of India in mathematics The most fundamental contribution of India in mathematics is the invention of decimal system of enumeration‚ including the invention of zero. The decimal system uses nine digits (1 to 9) and the symbol zero (for nothing) to denote all natural numbers by assigning a place value to the digits. The Arabs carried this system to Africa and Europe. 1) Aryabhata is the first well known Indian mathematician. Born in Kerala‚ he completed his studies at the university

The construction of a fundamental understanding of numeration and place value concepts forms the foundation for all additional branches of mathematics (Booker‚ et al.‚ 2010). Computational processes and patterns of thinking require a clear understanding of these concepts‚ as they underpin the learning and use of mathematics (Booker et al.‚ 2010). Developing mathematical thinking from an early age is extremely important in establishing students understanding of number concepts. Clements (2001‚ p271)

Plato & Socrates: Excellence in Virtue introduction “Socrates’ positive influence touches us even today” (May 6) and we can learn a great deal about him from one of his students‚ Plato. It is in Plato’s report of Socrates’ trial a work entitled‚ Apology‚ and a friend’s visit to his jail cell while he is awaiting his death in Crito‚ that we discover a man like no other. Socrates was a man following a path he felt that the gods had wanted him to follow and made no excuses for his life

Mathematics is the abstract study of topics such as quantity (numbers)‚ Structures‚ Space and Change. Mathematics is a science which draws necessary conclusions. It is a broad ranging field of study in which the properties and interactions of idealized objects are examined. As we already know‚ Mathematics is becoming more and more useful to Geologists. Mathematical Geology can be an essential aid in formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena. Geomagnetic

Environment The highest form of pure thought is in mathematics. ~Plato Maria Montessori believed that human intelligence is no longer based on natural intelligence but on mathematical intelligence. Humans have moved beyond the innate survival instincts of early humans and moved toward an analytical awareness of the world. Math is more than math facts and computations. It deals with shape‚ space‚ patterns‚ symbols and the relationships found therein. Mathematics: Birth to Age Three Learning about patterns
