- What is Math?
- Math cannot be summed up in one sentence. One definition of mathematics is not sufficient and some books don't even capture the true meaning fully. Today we were posed with this daunting question and we as a class of mathematicians had a difficult time describing specifically what mathematics defined looks like. We came up with many different words to describe math and phrases to help describe what math is but when deciding what the top/best answer was there was no real winner. I personally think that math can be described as a language of its own that aids in problem solving both quantitatively and qualitatively. I also believe that the previous sentence is just a snapshot of what I actually mean and to articulate what math is in its entirety. For that exact reason, when asked to place a check mark next to the "best" answer to define math I checked all the statements.
- Biggest Moments/Discoveries in History of Math
- I am not familiar at all with math history, I have got to be honest. With that being said, I intend on working on learning math history throughout this course.
