to Descartes’ argument of the Cogito. The first thing that this essay will address is about Descartes’ philosophical method. Descartes not only was a philosopher, but also he was a great mathematician. Therefore, he strongly believed that as in mathematics there is a method and rules to gain mathematical science, there should be a specific method and some rules to identify philosophical data as well.…

Subramanian: Dr. Ramatosh Sarkar worked with us in Birla Planetarium as a Curator for more than 30 years. He was a very cooperative, very congenial, very knowledgeable person. Sarkar was with me almost from the beginning. At that time he was an M.Sc. in mathematics. We took him initially as a lecturer. He worked under me – in the sense it’s not as a higher staff to a lower staff, very close. If he has a problem he will come to me. Even if M. P. Birla created the problem, before answering him, he…

At about twenty centuries ago there was an amazing discovery about right angled triangles: “In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.” It is called Pythagoras Theorem and can be written in one short equation: a²+b²=c² where c is the longest side of triangle and a and b are the other two sides. Pythagoras was born in the island of Samos in 570 BC in Greek in the eastern Agean. He was the son of Mnesarchus and his mother's name…

The Test In the city of algebraic there was a young boy who had the name of Bob. Bob was in a extremely dangerous situation. He was in the middle of… maths. His teacher mr.Hazefraz who had a minor problem with anger issues. Right now he was yelling at a poor boy who unfortunately got a roman numeral wrong in a quiz. People might call this type of act child abuse but that poor child who goes by the name of Al G. Braic was too busy getting abused by mr.Hazefraz to point that out. Enraged Bob…

Who am I as a learner? The learner profiles that not good at is communication as if I hate being in groups and socializing. One academic I’m not so amazing at is Math it makes me very very confusing…. But one that I’m great at is being a risk taker which means that you are confident about trying new everything , also standing up for what you believe. This relates to me being; i'm in sports I play soccer and i'm great at it…. but when i'm on the field I can be a risk taker and this is why, when…

STRATEGIES FOR THE ACT MATHEMATICS TEST: The ACT mathematics test is designed to assess the mathematical skills students have typically acquired in courses taken up to the beginning of grade 12. The test presents multiple- choice questions that require you to use reasoning skills to solve practical problems in mathematics. • PACE Yourself- The ACT mathematics test contains 60 questions to be completed in 60 minutes. You have an average of 1 minute per question. • If you use calculator, use it…

meaning of love, music, and the message of life. As he expresses his opinions about what does it mean that we are going to live and die, what is going to happen to humans in the afterlife. Along with this theme, the book also expresses literature and mathematics, how both have infinite meanings, and how we can peruse the possibilities, using symbols to express what we want and how to get…

SS221 Class One/Lab 1a: Study Critique – Chocolate! (10 points) Read the Messerli (2012) study and answer questions 1-9 in class. You are encouraged (expected really) to use the Morling book to help you answer these questions. You should find all of the italicized terms below in the Morling book. 1. Describe Messerli’s theory at the beginning of his analysis. (theory pp. 9-13) Messerli’s theory is that flavonoids improve cognitive function, and flavonols reduce cognitive decline that…

Mathematical modeling is a process where the mathematical knowledge, the skills and strategies that students already know are used to investigate and solve real world situations. Mathematics modeling in PreK-8th grade starts out with a real world problem. The teacher no longer plays the role of teacher, but more so a facilitator, that guides the students into what tools and strategies they already know, that would help them solve the problem given. These problems or situations or tasks, are…

following questions will engage students in higher level thinking and mathematical reasoning: “Is there another way to get this answer?” and/or “Can you explain how you got your answer?”. This strategy is from the National Council of Teachers for Mathematics, “Teaching and Learning Principles from PtA”, which entails asking essential questions that are to be a catalyst for deeper levels of thinking (NCTM, 2014). This formative assessment helped me see if they conceptually understood the lesson…
