Theory of Knowledge Éanna OBoyle ToK Mathematics “... what the ordinary person in the street regards as mathematics is usually nothing more than the operations of counting with perhaps a little geometry thrown in for good measure. This is why banking or accountancy or architecture is regarded as a suitable profession for someone who is ‘good at figures’. Indeed‚ this popular view of what mathematics is‚ and what is required to be good at it‚ is extremely prevalent; yet it would be laughed at

Mayan Mathematics In our modern world‚ one can argue that mathematics is a universal language. Numbers have been recorded in various forms throughout time. For example‚ the Babylonians used marks pressed in clay; the Egyptians used papyrus ink brushes to create tally marks; and the Maya introduced a symbol for zero. All these ancient peoples used numerals or written symbols to express what they meant mathematically. They developed their own numeration system‚ which is a collection of uniform symbols

THE FEAR OF MATHEMATICS Mathematics is often called the "queen of the sciences. It is a crucially important tool in the study of other scientific disciplines‚ in addition to being a science in its own right. Its value to scientific accomplishment is as innumerable as it is invaluable. Regarded as the nucleus of the science world itself‚ most celebrated scientific achievements could hardly have had a jumpstart without the guiding precepts of the basic modules of arithmetic. Most careers in Universities

Alexis Sorensen Kant Final James Griffith 1:30-3:00(T/TH) 11/17/12 Pure Mathematics Immanuel Kant‚ a Prussian philosopher during the 1700s‚ examined the basis of human knowledge and its existence. Through rationalism and empiricism‚ Kant developed an individual model that supported the concept of pure mathematics. Kant’s logic allowed him to prove concepts that appeared unable to be proven. Pure mathematics‚ as an a priori cognition‚ can be considered to be an example of a concept that may
