“Letters to a Young Mathematician” by Ian Stewart that he said‚ “Mathematics is the shared social construct created by people who are aware of certain opportunities. If math were a building‚ it would resemble a pyramid erected upside down. The taller the building becomes‚ the more space to build more.” I could not agree more. Mathematics is an opportunity. It should never stop growing‚ and neither should I. Ever since I declared mathematics as a major‚ I vowed to myself to always be willing to learn and

There were very little opportunities for women in education in the eighteen century. "Women were considered to be incapable of abstraction‚ generalization‚ or the mental concentration necessary to comprehend such subjects as mathematics and the physical sciences‚ "(Osen pg51). There have been women who have made significant contributions to the mathematical and science world. The first of the five women in the eighteen century is Emilie du Chatelet. She was born on December 17‚ 1706. Her

The extracurricular activities of such games allowed the foundation of mathematics to dwell in Blackwell’s heart. Blackwell found calculation in any form very intriguing. The simple fact of understanding each math problem in all shapes and forms was interesting to him. Though math was his first love‚ his first college years was

domain Thales was the Chief of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece‚ and has been called the "Father of Science‚" the "Founder of Abstract Geometry‚" and the "First Philosopher." Thales is believed to have studied mathematics under Egyptians‚ who in turn were aware of much older mathematics from Mesopotamia. Thales may have invented the notion of compass-and-straightedge construction. Several fundamental theorems about triangles are attributed to Thales‚ including the law of similar triangles (which

This course is the first of a two-part series designed for k-8 pre-service teachers to address the conceptual framework for mathematics taught in elementary school. The focus of this course was on real numbers properties‚ patterns‚ operations and algebraic reasoning‚ and problem solving. The relationship of the course concepts to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards for k-8 instruction was also addressed. There were many concepts we learned in this course‚ but I think the most
