Leonhard Euler's father was Paul Euler. Paul Euler
had studied theology at the University of Basel
and had attended Jacob Bernoulli's lectures there.
In fact Paul Euler and Johann Bernoulli had both
lived in Jacob Bernoulli's house while
undergraduates at Basel. Paul Euler became a
Protestant minister and married Margaret Bruce,
the daughter of another Protestant minister. Their
son Leonhard Euler was born in Basel, but the
family moved to Riehen when he was one year old
and it was in Riehen, no...

The Teachings Of Mathematics Education In America
999 words
Math educators in the United States should stress
the understanding of the learners and teach them
to process certain understanding to succeed in
mathematics. The connection between math
understanding and the reading of math problems
should be raised in smaller grade levels so
students have a better understand of math at
younger ages. Yet it is not all the students part
in learning the math, but also the educators part
to teach the subject in an understanding manner
using the curriculum and prop...

students, therefore, will be able to view and make
decisions concerning interactive problems
together. In addition, the use of interactive
whiteboards will allow students working together
on spreadsheets, texts (especially during the
lessons of modern foreign languages), and other
projects with their classmates. The interactive
whiteboards will also allow connecting to video
conferencing systems and the teacher or lecturer
will be able to enhance educ...

Gender Differences In Mathematical Understanding Part 1
1,642 words
Gender Differences in Mathematical Understanding
in Children The issue of gender differences in
mathematics has been debated since 1970 s. Then
the numerous research projects investigated the
nature and extend of the differences between the
achievements of boys and girls and proposed
different kinds of reasons of such disparities. In
my essay I will continue the discourse on
mathematics and gender and examine the progress
that has been made in this issue due to the recent
research works. Thus, I...

... coordinating the mutual construction of
success and failure' and that categories such as
low achiever or learning disabled are 'positions
in education that get filled by children' (pp.
152). Jo Boaler (2000), considered these ideas
very significant because they relocate the focus,
away from categories of people and the
characteristics they bring, and towards a dynamic
system that produces responses of achievement,
underachievement, gender, culture, and class.

Twelfth Century Political Turmoil
2,645 words
Arabic Mathematics Everybody would agree that
mathematics owes a great debt to the Arabs. Just
as George Sarton, a famous Harvard professor of
history and science wrote in his not less famous
Introduction to the History of Science: From the
second half of the eighth to the end of the
eleventh century, Arabic was the scientific, the
progressive language of mankind. When the West was
sufficiently mature to feel the need of deeper
knowledge, it turned its attention, first of all,
not to the Greek s...

Mathematical Analysis B C

Before the time of recorded history, prehistoric
people learned to count such things as the animals
in their herds and flocks. They probably first
used their fingers or pebbles to help keep track
of small numbers. They learned to use the length
of their hands and arms and other standards of
measure. And they learned to use regular shapes
when they molded pottery and chipped stone
arrowheads. Since the prehistoric times,
mathematics has come a long way. In this essay, I
will try to sum up the dev...

How can it be that mathematics, being after all a

experience, is so admirably appropriate to the

mathematics, being after all a product of human
thought which is independent of experience, is so
admirably appropriate to the objects of reality
(Einstein)? This issue has troubled philosophers
as well as scientist since Einstein first posed
it. To answer what Einstein meant when he asked

History of Math Mathematics, study of
relationships among quantities, magnitudes, and
properties and of logical operations by which
unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may
be deduced. In the past, mathematics was regarded
as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes,
as in geometry, or of numbers, as in arithmetic,
or of the generalization of these two fields, as
in algebra. Toward the middle of the 19 th
century, however, mathematics came to be regarded
increasingly as the scien...

Southern Italy 20 Years

Pythagoras of Samos is often described as the
first pure mathematician. He is an extremely
important figure in the development of mathematics
yet we know relatively little about his
mathematical achievements. Unlike many later Greek
mathematicians, where at least we have some of the
books which they wrote, we have nothing of
Pythagoras writings. The society which he led,
half religious and half scientific, followed a
code of secrecy which certainly means that today
Pythagoras is a mysterious fig...

Stress in College Students Abstract College
students all stress out about one situation / life
generality or another. Some of these situations /
life generalities are individuation, computer
anxiety, ethnic and gender roles in
student-athletes, and mathematics anxiety.
Introduction There have been many studies looking
at stress in college students. At one time or
another, college students are forced to deal with
a stressful situation. Stress, in this paper, is
