“Is mathematics discovered or invented?” To commence with this essay‚ we must first understand a few key words used in this statement and question. ‘Mathematics’ is generally believed to be the body of knowledge centered on concepts such as quantity‚ structure‚ space‚ and change‚ and also the academic discipline that studies them. Whereas ‘discover’ and ‘invent’ means to find information‚ a place or an object‚ especially for the first time and to design or create something which has never been made

Mathematics and religion are two very different concepts. Scientist and Theologians have had conflicts involving the two that are usually based off of an argument that encompasses logic versus faith. However‚ using reason‚ we can come to the conclusion that it is possible for both mathematics and reason to have many different similarities. Mathematics relies on reason and logic. Although Mathematics is based off of axioms that are rarely questioned‚ we still need to justify our methods and answers

WHY PROBLEM SOLVING? • Problem solving is the most basic of mathematical skills- the reason for studying mathematics • Problem solving is an integral part of the larger area of critical thinking‚ which is universally accepted goal for all education • Problem solving shows an interaction between mathematical ideas • In the classroom can lessen the gap between real world problem and the classroom worlds and thus set more positive mood in the classroom. WHAT IS PROBLEM? The

Philosophy through Mathematics For centuries mathematics has been the bases to almost everything we do. Whether we are dealing with complex physics or modern medicine‚ without mathematics almost nothing we have now would be possible. Mathematics is a broad topic that can be broken down into many different categories. Most people limit their mathematics to just basic arithmetic and some geometry but the world of mathematics can be expanded to be so much more. The world of mathematics includes more than

Mathematics is the Sphere of Life All is Numbers‚ is still echoing from the walls of the White City‚ when once the great Pythagoras said it on an early sunny morning to his disciples. No great discoveries in history every made‚ without the intervention of this mystical ray we call Mathematics. Einstein in his general relativity theory‚ to prove that the path of a ray of light‚ in the presence of a gravitational field‚ is curved and never straight used intensely the non-Euclidean geometry
