mathematics The Queen of the Sciences
The term MATHEMATICS is derived from two Greek words ‘ manthanein ’ which means learning and ‘techne’ which means an art of technique . Therefore mathematics means the art of learning related to disciplines.
Mathematics is defined as the science of quantity, measurement and special relations.
The area of study is known as the history of mathematics is primarily an investigation in to origin of discoveries of mathematics and, to a lesser extent, an investigation in to the mathematical methods notation of the past. Chinese mathematics made early contributions including a place value system . The origin of mathematical thoughts lie in the concepts of number and magnitude. History of Mathematics
Nature of Mathematics
Mathematics is a Science of Discovery Mathematics is an Intellectual Game Mathematics is a tool subject
Mathematics involves an intuitive method Mathematics has its own symbols and language Mathematics is an Abstract Science
Mathematics is Logic Mathematics deals with art of drawing conclusions
Mathematics has a transversal nature. If we reflect on the history of curriculum in general, then mathematics (geometry and algebra) were two of the seven liberal arts in Greek as well as in medieval times. Mathematical literacy is a crucial attribute of individuals living more effective lives as constructive, concerned and reflective citizens.
Mathematical literacy is taken to include basic computational skills, quantitative reasoning, spatial ability etc. Mathematical concepts and procedures are used to solve problems in science, engineering, economics.
Mathematics is a part of our human cultural heritage, and we have a responsibility to develop that heritage. Mathematics provide a clear understanding of laws of nature.
Practical values Numbers and Calculating Algebra, Geometry, functions, analysis etc. Probability and Statistics Data Analysis
Disciplinary values Finding new solutions to problems of a kind that have not been seen before Proof simple theorems using logics
Cultural values Puzzles, Number Theory, Combinatorics etc. Biographies History of mathematics Unsolved problems
