Introduction Mathematics is one of the fundamental tools in analyzing and understanding astronomy. Astronomers use mathematics to do basic conversion‚ calculate brightness‚ density and temperature and improve the understanding of astronomical images. Most ancient astronomers views celestial objects on behalf of gods. They studied celestial objects with the hope of discovering the unknown of the world. In ancient China‚ astronomer is an occupation that works for the imperial family. They

It resulted into relativism‚ which says that there is no absolute truth. However‚ it can be easily shown that this theory is wrong‚ because in contradicts itself. Does it mean that absolute truth must exist? From my point of view‚ this is satisfactory proof to believe so. Where should we search for absolute truth? The first area of knowledge that seem to provide

Mathematics Hidden Inside the Mayan Calendar The Mayan Calendar is a system of calendars in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica‚ in modern communities in highland Gautemala‚ in Vercruz‚ Oxaca‚ and Chiapas‚ Mexico. The calendar is filled with mathematics and a huge math system‚ but it is not exactly like the math system we use today. The math system hidden inside the Mayan Calendar is called the Vigesimal System. How does the Vigesimal System work? The numbers represent what symbols in the math system? This

Zoltan Dienes’ six-stage theory of learning mathematics Stage 1. Most people‚ when confronted with a situation which they are not sure how to handle‚ will engage in what is usually described as “trial and error” activity. What they are doing is to freely interact with the situation presented to them. In trying to solve a puzzle‚ most people will randomly try this and that and the other until some form of regularity in the situation begins to emerge‚ after which a more systematic problem solving

A university begins Year 1 with 80 faculty. They hire 4 faculty each year. During each year 10% (rounded to the nearest integer) of the faculty present at the beginning of the year leave the university. For example‚ in a year where there are 73 faculty at the beginning of the year‚ 7 would leave the university at the end of the year. The university wants to know how many faculty they will have at the end of year 10. The resulting spreadsheet can be found below. The formula copied down from E10 to
