Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The history of science and math are interrelated. The people who shaped science are also important in mathematics. As in science‚ the early history of mathematics is sketchy. We know that the lunar and solar cycles were counted by the Babylonians and Egyptians in an organized fashion. Early Indian mathematicians are credited with many astronomical observations as well as the beginning of algebra. The use of decimals and numbers with 9

Why Mathematics is hard and how to solve it? Mathematics is the study of numbers‚ and counting‚ and measuring‚ but that is only the beginning. Mathematics involves the study of number patterns and relationships‚ too. It is also a way to communicate ideas‚ and perhaps more than anything‚ it is a way of reasoning that is unique to human beings. Mathematics is divided into pure or theoretical mathematics‚ and applied mathematics. Applied mathematicians focus on how to apply mathematical principles
