3. Express appreciation for mathematics as a human
endeavor.
4. Identify some famous mathematicians of all times
and their contribution in the field of mathematics.
What is Mathematics?

-Mathêma “that which is learnt” derived from


“manthano”, and modern Greek “mathaino”
which means “to learn”

- “The science of structure, order, and relations that


has evolved from elemental practices of counting,
measuring, and describing the shapes and
characteristics of objects”. (Encyclopedia
Britannica)

Characteristics of Mathematics
 Classification
generates a series of
mental relations
through which objects
are grouped according
to similarities and
differences depending
on specific criteria
such as shape, color,
size, etc.
Characteristics of Mathematics
 Logical Sequence -
ideas in mathematics
need to flow in an order
that makes sense. It
means that each step can
be derived logically from
the preceding steps.
Characteristics of Mathematics

 Structure- the structure on a particular


mathematical set will allow mathematicians to
study the set further and find its relationship
with other objects.
Characteristics of
Mathematics

 Precision and
Accuracy – Accuracy is
how close a measured
value is to the actual
(true) value. It is the
degree to which a given
quantity is correct and
free from error. Precision,
is how close the
measured valued values
are to each other.
Characteristics of Mathematics

 Abstractness- is the process of extracting the


underlying essence of a mathematical concept by
taking away any dependence on real-world objects.
Characteristics of
Mathematics

 Symbolism – This
language is uniquely
constructed in such a way
that all mathematicians
understand symbolic
notations and mathematical
formulas.
Characteristics of
Mathematics

 Applicability- The
applicability of
mathematics can lie
anywhere on a spectrum
from the completely
simple (trivial) to the
utterly complex
(mysterious).
Characteristics of Mathematics

 Generalizations – The process of finding and


singling out in a whole class of similar objects.

Nature of Mathematics
A science of
measures- it is an
activity that involves
interaction with a
concrete system with
the aim of
representing aspects
of that system in
abstract terms of
“concrete” implies
“real”.
Nature of Mathematics

 Intellectual game-
mathematics requires
visual imagery. Games
and mathematics both
require a strong dose
of patience, restraint,
and concentration.
Nature of Mathematics

 The art of drawing


conclusions- Being able
to reason is essential to
understanding
mathematics. Reasoning
is a way to use
mathematical knowledge
and to generate and
solidify new
mathematical ideas.
Nature of Mathematics

 A tool subject –
mathematics undeniably
a highly powerful
instrument of
investigation.
Mathematics is applied
in the fields of
engineering, life
sciences, industry, and
business.
Nature of Mathematics

 A system of logical
procedure – Problem
solving is a skill which
can enhance our logical
reasoning.
Nature of Mathematics

 An intuitive method –
mathematics also
requires the use of
intuition, the ability to
see what is reasonable
or not and the ability to
pu all these together.

image so that we could share his own
thoughts”
