Women in Mathematics Every human is created with a gift of some sort. Whether it is an athletic ability‚ a wonderful singing voice‚ or an ability to relate to other individuals‚ every one has a special gifting. For many women in history‚ their ability was deciphering and understanding the intricacies of math. Although various cultures discouraged women mathematicians‚ these women were able to re-define the standards for women in this field of study. Hypatia of Alexandria was born in Roman Egypt

Mayans Mathematics The Mayan number system was developed by the ancient Maya civilization of Central America. Similar to the number system we use today‚ the Mayan system operated with place values. To achieve this place value system they developed the idea of a zero placeholder. The Maya seem to be the first people who used a place value system and a symbol for zero. Beyond these similarities there are some significant differences between the Mayan number system and our modern system. The Mayan

Euclid’s method of proving mathematical theorems by logical reasoning from accepted first principles continues to be the backbone of mathematics and is responsible for that field’s characteristics rigor.

THE FEAR OF MATHEMATICS Mathematics is often called the "queen of the sciences. It is a crucially important tool in the study of other scientific disciplines‚ in addition to being a science in its own right. Its value to scientific accomplishment is as innumerable as it is invaluable. Regarded as the nucleus of the science world itself‚ most celebrated scientific achievements could hardly have had a jumpstart without the guiding precepts of the basic modules of arithmetic. Most careers in Universities

The Mathematics for Essay 2 The purpose of these notes are to explain some of the mathematics behind Essay 2. Your own essay should not just repeat these arguments but have a more geometric flavor. Write about how you can physically place the blocks. You may assume basic facts about geometric sums and series. Let r be any real number and let n be a non-negative integer. The sum 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn (1) is a geometric sum and the infinite series 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn + · · · (2)

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
