  • Essay about Mathematics Autobiography

    ...MATH 101 Mathematics Autobiography Assignment My name is Casey Nicole Layton, and I am nineteen years of age. I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on January 20th, 1995. My parents used to call me an ice princess when I was little, and they always told me the same story when I’d ask how I had acquired that name. When they tried to bring me home from the hospital, we got stuck in the family car during a huge blizzard and the winter chill got to me, and they used this fairytale-like story to explain my nickname, as well as why my hands and feet were always cold. I am the third born out of six children. When I am not attending IUP, I live with my mum in Cheswick, Pennsylvania, with my step-dad and half siblings. At home we currently have 6 lizards, 5 cats, 3 dogs, and a bunny. In my spare time I breed snakes for a living with my mum, and we currently have over 50 snakes taking over our dining room. When I’m not doing that, I enjoy photography, painting, and crafting. Naturally, I am a busy-body who enjoys working hard and spending time with my family. Math has always been a sensitive subject for me. I graduated from Fox Chapel High School, and the furthest I went in mathematics was Algebra II. I can remember in Middle School I had to take Pre-Geometry over again because I failed the first time. I would say as a consensus, I have always had trouble communicating with my teachers. My first Pre-Geometry teacher spent most of class trying to...

  • Difference Between Mathematics And Mathematics Essay

    ...Most people are not familiar with the concepts of mathematics and mathematizing. Once they hear any of these terms, they connect them to education. The next discussion will attempt to shed some light on these two concepts by defining mathematics as a language. First, it will define these two terms with examples. It will then point out various differences between mathematics and mathematizing while giving examples. Finally, it will elaborate the importance of both concepts to humans and how they have affected people over time. Mathematics is a science that deals with logics, quantity and arrangement of things and people around us. In addition, mathematics can be considered a language on its own as it has its own discreetness as well as arbitrariness (Fosnot & Dolk, 2001). Every activity we partake in must revolve around mathematics. The discipline was discovered over 5000 years ago to enable man keep track of various logics and keep track of his activities. Concepts learnt in mathematics form a basis for other disciplines such as architecture, chemistry, physics, finance and engineering among several others. It has formed a very useful part of education and life as well. On the other hand, Mathematizing refers to the art of using mathematical concepts to solve various life problems (Fosnot & Dolk, 2001). Every problem we encounter in our daily lives require some level of...

  • Zero in Mathematics Essay

    ...Zero in Mathematics Zero as a number is incredibly tricky to deal with. Though zero provides us with some useful mathematical tools, such as calculus, it presents some problems that if approached incorrectly, lead to a breakdown of mathematics as we know it. Adding, subtracting and multiplying by zero are straightforward. If c is a real number, c+0=c c-0=c c x 0=0 These facts are widely known and regarded to hold true in every situation. However, division by zero is a far more complicated matter. With most divisions, for example, 10/5=2 We can infer that 2 x 5=10 But if we try to do this with zero, 10/0=a 0 x a=10 Can you think of a number that, when multiplied by 0, equals 10? There is no such number that we have ever encountered that will satisfy this equation. Another example will emphasise the mysteriousness of dividing by zero. One may assume that (c x 0)∕0=c The zeroes should cancel, as would be done with any other number. But since we know that c x 0=0 it follows that (c x 0)/0=0/0=c This does not seem to make sense. This also means that 1=0/0=2 1=2 since 1 and 2 are both real numbers. Actually, this means that 0/0 is equal to every real number! In effect, there is no real answer to a division by zero. It cannot be done. In fact, if we could divide by zero, it would be possible to prove anything that we could dream of. For example, imagine a student trying to prove to his teacher that he...

  • Importance of Mathematics Essay

    ...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 compute the units that make up the total mass of the material universe is the object of Mathematics. For the space-time quantum is everywhere full of matter and we have to know matter mathematically in the first instance. Importance of Mathematics Knowledge of Mathematics is absolutely necessary for the study of the physical sciences. Computation and calculation are the bases of all studies that deal with matter in any form. Even the physician who has to study biological cells and bacilli need to have a knowledge of Mathematics, if he means to reduce the margin of error which alone can make his diagnosis dependable. To the mechanic and the engineer it is a constant guide and help, and without exact knowledge of Mathematics, they cannot proceed one step in coming to grips with any complicated problem. Be it the airplane or the atom bomb,...

  • Pi in Mathematics Essay

    ...π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in the Euclidean plane; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159265 in the usual decimal notation. Many formulae from mathematics, science, and engineering involve π, which makes it one of the most important mathematical constants. π is an irrational number, which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n, where m and n are integers. Consequently, its decimal representation never ends or repeats. It is also a transcendental number, which implies, among other things, that no finite sequence of algebraic operations on integers (powers, roots, sums, etc.) can be equal to its value; proving this was a late achievement in mathematical history and a significant result of 19th century German mathematics. Throughout the history of mathematics, there has been much effort to determine π more accurately and to understand its nature; fascination with the number has even carried over into non-mathematical culture. Probably because of the simplicity of its definition, the concept of π has become entrenched in popular culture to a degree far greater than almost any other mathematical construct. It is, perhaps, the most common ground between mathematicians and non-mathematicians. Reports on the latest, most-precise...

  • Mathematics

    ...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, makes it highly addictive for me. My appreciation of Maths has slowly matured over the years and my A+ in both Maths and Additional Maths in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (Malaysian Certificate of Education) gave me enough self-confidence to take on the challenge of A-level Mathematics. In terms of my intended degree, my most useful applied module is Statistics, as I have seen its importance and regular usage in Actuarial Science and because I am fascinated at how convenient it can be to handle and process figures so that they may be manipulated to produce a feasible mathematic model. My obsession with numbers remained limited to writing pads, until I read about John Nash, the American mathematician, who invented his famous Nash Equilibrium, a very integral part of economic and financial systems across the world. It is from this point on I became increasingly fascinated by how numbers can directly or indirectly affect humans,...

  • What is Mathematics? Essay

    ...Mathematics is defined as the science which deals with logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. During ancient times in Egypt, the Egyptians used maths and complex mathematic equations like geometry and algebra. That is how they managed to build the pyramids. Our day today life would be quite strenuous without maths knowledge. There are many ways in which people use maths during the day today living. Below are some ways in which people use maths in daily lives. * Daily life would be very difficult without maths’ knowledge at all. To begin with, you need to be able to organize and count your money; as well as subtract, divide and multiply. This is a skill everyone needs to have in order to survive. Every day we visit supermarkets to buy items, without maths knowledge, we would not be able to know if we have been given the right change. * Some DIY jobs require basic maths knowledge for them to be done effectively. For example, a person needs to work out the amount of materials required in order to decorate a house. One has to be aware of the measurement, space and shape of the area he is working on to ensure that he or she has purchased the required amount of materials. This helps in ensuring that you do not run out of essential materials before the job is finished or you do not have too much left over. * In the field of architecture or engineering, it is essential to have more advance maths knowledge. Working on geometry and algebra...

  • The Fear of Mathematics Essay

    ...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 and colleges of education in the country increasingly require mathematics as a prerequisite. Mathematics is being used in the study of problems in an increasing number of areas like biotechnology, data communications, environmental toxicology, medical imaging, transportation scheduling, and financial risk management. The phobia for the disciple in high school has been recurring through time. It has endured an unhealthy acuity mainly in the mind of the lower level academic. Most students do not know how much the use of mathematics affects them, both now and in the future. Irrespective of gender, the scare of poor performance plagues parents as their wards grapple this non-avoidable subject. Most times the child that starts abhor mathematics would find no point of attraction with the class or the teacher. The result? Truancy sets in. This psyche can be corrected. This piece focuses on...
