[edit] Mathematics [edit] Pi as irrational Aryabhata worked on the approximation for Pi (π)‚ and may have come to the conclusion that π is irrational. In the second part of the Aryabhatiyam (gaṇitapāda 10)‚ he writes: caturadhikam śatamaṣṭaguṇam dvāṣaṣṭistathā sahasrāṇām ayutadvayaviṣkambhasyāsanno vṛttapariṇāhaḥ. "Add four to 100‚ multiply by eight‚ and then add 62‚000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20‚000 can be approached."[12] This implies that the

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)

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
