  1. WHAT IS MATHEMATICS? MATH 10

  2. MATHEMATICS • no generally accepted definition • from Greek word -“máthēma” (noun), which means "learning” -“mathēmatikós” (adjective)

  3. MATHEMATICS study of patterns systematic ^

  4. MATHEMATICS study of patterns systematic ^ based on logic

  5. MATHEMATICS systematic: math is a (formal) language with accepted rules/grammar

  6. Georg Cantor: Created set theory, which has become a fundamental theory in modern mathematics. It provides a standard set of axioms to prove or disprove propositions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Cantor

  7. “I've always enjoyed mathematics. It is the most precise and concise way of expressing any idea” – N. R. Narayana Murthy “Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music” – Frank Capra

  8. MATHEMATICS study of patterns: consequently, math can be a tool in studying patterns in “real-world” systems to solve problems

  10. not just about numbers (it just so happen, numbers have patterns)

  11. MATHEMATICS math has philosophical underpinnings based on logic:

  13. “Mathematics is the music of reason” – James Joseph Sylvester “Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas” – Albert Einstein

  15. MATHEMATICS is the In summary: study of patterns systematic ^ based on logic

  16. “Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country” – David Hilbert
