Thales Of Miletus A Brief History
851 wordsThe first thing I would like to say before I start this paper on Thales is that when dealing with ancient Greek mathemetitions, any "facts" you may uncover are really just educated guesses. The reason for this is, because all records back then were kept on cuneiform tablets. These tablets just did not hold up well over time, and were destroyed before anyone could really make a lasting, permanent record of his life and studies. (2) With this being said, let me share with you some of my findings o...

Leonardo died sometime during the 1240 s, but his contributions to mathematics are still in use today. Now I would like to take a closer look at some of Leonardo's contributions along with some exam...

Form Of Communication Easy To Follow
739 wordsLanguage is a written code used for communication or for the displaying of data. There are two different types of language: Mathematical (numerical) and natural (e. g. English). An advantage to natural language is to ease the difficulties of communication. An advantage of mathematics as a language is that problems can be solved in an organized and easy-to-follow order. Both types of languages have their limitations. A limitation of natural language is that it is subjective. A limitation of mathe...

Expanded Academic Asap Solve This Problem
1,445 wordsEver wonder how scientists figure out how long it takes for the radiation from a nuclear weapon to decay? This dilemma can be solved by calculus, which helps determine the rate of decay of the radioactive material. Calculus can aid people in many everyday situations, such as deciding how much fencing is needed to encompass a designated area. Finding how gravity affects certain objects is how calculus aids people who study Physics. Mechanics find calculus useful to determine rates of flow of flui...

Check For Understanding Writing In Math Students
604 wordsRelating mathematics to students everyday lives will be a goal for me as a teacher. With the research that I have read and through my own struggle with math, I feel that children need to make connections between the real world and mathematical concepts, so that mathematics becomes relevant to them. As it becomes relevant, students become more motivated to learn and more interested in the learning process. I think that students will benefit from using journal writing in math because it will engag...
