Logical-Mathematical Intelligence The theory of multiple intelligences was thought up by Howard Gardner through his opinion on people having not only one way of thinking. Howard Gardner is a Professor of Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of Multiple Intelligence: New Horizons and many other books. Gardner defines intelligence as an ability or set of abilities that allow a person to solve a problem or fashion a product that is valued in one or more cultures (Lane‚ 2005)

Mathematical Connection Mathematics has had an incredible impact on technology as we know it today. Understanding this impact aids in understanding the history of how technology has developed so thoroughly and what significant events happened to facilitate such an advanced society. A better understanding can be derived by analyzing the historical background on the mathematicians‚ the time periods‚ and the contributions that affected their society and modern society as well as specific examples

Mathematical logic is something that has been around for a very long time. Centuries Ago Greek and other logicians tried to make sense out of mathematical proofs. As time went on other people tried to do the same thing but using only symbols and variables. But I will get into detail about that a little later. There is also something called set theory‚ which is related with this. In mathematical logic a lot of terms are used such as axiom and proofs. A lot of things in math can be proven‚ but there

Adopting elements of mathematics from both the Egyptians and the Babylonians while researching and added their own works has lead to important theories and formulas used for all modern mathematics and science. Pythagoras was born in Samon Greece

Mathematical model A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modelling (also writtenmodeling). Mathematical models are used not only in the natural sciences (such as physics‚ biology‚ earth science‚ meteorology) and engineering disciplines (e.g. computer science‚artificial intelligence)‚ but also in the social sciences (such as economics‚ psychology‚ sociology and political science); physicists
