An essay on math

Man's greatest achievement? Perhaps not, but can you afford not to read on when I am about to tell you about math? I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of math. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to those politicaly minded individuals living in the past, many of whom blame the influence of television. Hold onto your hats as we begin a journey into math.

Social Factors

Interweaving social trends form a strong net in which we are all trapped. Back when Vealinger reamarked ‘the power struggle will continue while the great tale of humanity remains untold’ [1] he globalised an issue which had remained buried in the hearts of our ancestors for centuries. No symbol is more potent than math in society today. It provides standards by which we may judge our selves.

Primarily math builds trust among the people. It is intrinsically linked to adolescent inner acclimatisation.

Economic Factors

There has been a great deal of discussion in the world of economics, centred on the value of math. We will primarily be focusing on the Fish-Out-Of-Water model, a complex but ultimately rewarding system.

Costs

math

There are a number of reasons which may be attributed to this unquestionable correlation. It goes with out saying that transport costs will continue to follow math for the foreseeable future. Strong fluctuations in investor confidence have been seen over the past two financial years.

Political Factors

Posturing as concerned patriarchs, many politicians guide the electorate herd to the inevitable cattle shed of 'equal opportunity.' Comparing the electoral politics of most Western and Eastern European countries is like comparing pre and post war views of math.

    Maria Ascher's *Mathematics Elsewhere,* identifies mathematical ideas that are present all over the world, and is "intended as another step toward a global and humanistic history of mathematics." (Ascher IV) This important volume clarifies how many universal mathematical concepts, both simple and complex, are used and understood by countless cultures worldwide, regardless of differences in geography, language, and era. By studying and widening the scope of the history and breadth of mathematical thought, Ascher argues that "we are supplying complexity and texture... [and] in short, enlarging our understanding of the variety of human expressions and human usages associated with the same basic ideas." (2)…

    From playing mental Maths games in childhood, to competing in the Kangaroo Maths Competition nationally and internationally, Maths has been a continued interest of mine. My analytical ability was put to test whilst competing in the competition, where quick thinking, clarifying and configuring the task at hand resulted in me achieving 37th position nationally, whilst attending a school in Pakistan during my middle school years.…

    Since the commencement of human existence, personal qualities such as: the pursuit of knowledge, the desire to expand ones horizons, and the inclination to establish and follow a dream, has significantly impacted society. From the earliest days, right up until the present time, a number of accomplishments have filled the vast expanse of time. Such accomplishments span from exemplary literary works, such as those of Cicero, Virgil, and Goethe; to philosophical breakthroughs of men like Rene Descartes who said, “I think therefore I am”, and finally to the unprecedented discoveries in the fields of mathematics and science. Among all the civilizations of time, those of the Pre-Columbian Era seem to have successfully applied mathematical concepts, mainly geometry and algebra, in a somewhat uncanny manner. One cannot all but question how engineers of today’s time, men and women with almost limitless resources, suffer periodic setbacks, while structures of the primitive Pre-Columbians have remained largely intact up until the present day. Clearly no one can compare the Golden Gate Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, and Empire State building to Pre-Columbian structures, yet the simplistic success of these ancient people causes substantial curiosity. It seems, although only a personal conjecture, that through the analysis of modern day mathematics, insight into the minds of the long lost masterminds behind some of the worlds greatest architecture and the mathematics emphasized in their extraordinary works, can be ascertained.…

    In this time, “Europe was in deep slumber” (crest of the peacock). The transference of this knowledge to European colonies resulted in the production of some of the most influential mathematical knowledge. From a political point of view, mathematical knowledge can be considered as power. The mathematisation of modern life and society has been growing exponentially, so much so that the majority of human movements are conceptualised and controlled numerically. A strong education system has become the key to the quantified thought processes that are required in modern citizens.…

    Martin Gardner was the best friend Mathematics ever had. He was responsible for introducing math to the world in a whole new way by turning something intimidating and unapproachable to many into fun and games or—even better—magic. It is said that by doing so “he brought more mathematics to more millions than anyone else.”* (Richard K. Guy)…

    In the aftermath of the previous year’s I realized that if I put my mind and effort in something I can do it. Math was a subject that I thought was going to always bring me down. But since my love for sports is greater I knew I had work I had to do, and now I actually love math. When given the chance I watch math video on YouTube. I have a favorite YouTuber names Vsause. His videos contain a mixture of science, math, and physiology. One particular video that is my favorite is when he is describing how humans have sent out many messages out in space that gives out a descriptions of who and what we are and things that are popular in our society at the time; as well as the coordinates to our location. It’s so interesting how math has a major part in life and in everything we do. When in geometry class I thought to myself “How is this going to help me in the future?” But later on, when reading the history of math, geometry is actually useful. We use if for many things like architectural designing, and in computer…

    After the South lost the Vietnam War to the North on April 30, 1975, I looked for a way to go to the United States of America. In 1981, I crossed the Pacific Ocean in a wooden boat to come to America to seek freedom. Then, I upgraded my mathematical knowledge and skills at San Jose State University. I admired Descartes and Newton, who desperately dedicated their lives for mathematics. For my mathematic passion, I believed that science and technology build upon the foundation of mathematics. Earning good grades in the math courses, I gained the competence of…

    Algebra, some of us fear it while some of us embrace it, algebra is not “arithmetic with letters” it is better described as a way of thinking. At its most fundamental level, arithmetic and algebra are two different forms of thinking about numerical issues. Many of these examples have been taken from our classroom discussions while others are examples I have discovered in my own research for this paper, several examples of each will be cited.…

    As an avid pursuer of knowledge and intellectual fulfillment, I seek fresh and meaningful intellectual experiences on a consistent basis. One such experience had originated with a personal connection between my passion for mathematics - my favorite school subject for as long as I can remember - and what I had seen as a hole in the love and dedication shown by others towards mathematics that implored filling. I had wholeheartedly decided to fill the hole myself by creating a math contest for everyone in the area, and led them to enjoy the spectacle of mathematics firsthand. In so doing, I have experienced an intellectual pursuit which, to this day, and likely for the rest of my life, continues, and will continue, to provide not only satisfaction, but also a wondrous sense of accomplishment and gratification.…
