in which we understand maths through the process of problem solving‚ generalisations‚ assumptions and proof‚ and also the common errors and misconceptions that may result from this. THE HISTORY OF MATHS From around 2000BC the Babylonian civilisation brought a style of mathematics which succeeded the Sumerian-Akkadian system following their invasion of Mesopotamia. As the oldest example of numeration that used place value systems‚ the Babylonians had an advanced number system now known as ‘base

The Stellar Lives of Stars Stars are giant nuclear reactors. In the center of stars‚ atoms are taken apart by tremendous atomic collisions altering the atomic structure and releasing an enormous amount of energy that makes stars hot and bright. Nuclear fusion is an atomic reaction that fuels stars. In fusion‚ many nuclei combine together to make a larger but different element‚ and the result of this process is the release of a lot of energy. Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores

Find The nth Term Of The Bell Numbers Abstract A pattern was discovered when elements in a set were rearranged as many ways as possible without repeating. This pattern is a sequence of numbers called Bell Numbers. In combinatorial mathematics‚ which is said to be the mathematics of the finite‚ the nth Bell number is the number of partitions of a set with n members. This find the number of different ways an element or

The Number Devil The Number Devil - A Mathematical Adventure‚ by Hans Magnus Enzensberger‚ begins with a young boy named Robert who suffers from reoccurring nightmares. Whether he’s getting slurped up by a giant fish‚ sliding down an endless slide into a black hole‚ or falling into a raging river‚ his incredibly detailed dreams always seem to have a negative effect on him. Robert’s nightmares either frighten him‚ make him angry‚ or disappoint him. His one wish is to never dream again; however‚

Math is one of the basic sciences of life; it can be said that is the most basic science‚ the first thing a person learns‚ apart from reading and writing‚ is how to add and subtract. But‚ is math a part of nature‚ or was it made to measure or understand nature? It is really hard to know‚ but in my point of view‚ math is a method created by men to measure nature. If math was a part of nature‚ man would be born with math knowledge‚ but man is not‚ man had to think about a way to count and measure things

“Once I get into algebra‚ my parents will have to help me with my homework.” “I don’t need to know a lot of math.” “Math is so boring.” “I’m just not good with numbers. If I need to know that stuff‚ I ask my boyfriend.” Does any of the above sound familiar? Or do you also feel what others feel about their Mathematics subject? Don’t be dismayed‚ you’re not alone. There are many. While the geeks and nerds are enjoying problem solving‚ others surely hate the ancient Greeks for inventing Mathematics

central tendency. It can be used with both discrete and continuous data‚ although its use is most often with continuous data (see our Types of Variable guide for data types). The mean is equal to the sum of all the values in the data set divided by the number of values in the data set. So‚ if we have n values in a data set and they have values x1‚ x2‚ ...‚ xn‚ the sample mean‚ usually denoted by (pronounced x bar)‚ is: This formula is usually written in a slightly different manner using the Greek capitol
