Numberphile is an educational YouTube channel featuring videos that explore topics from a variety of fields of mathematics. [2] [3] In the early days of the channel, each video focused on a specific number, but the channel has since expanded its scope, [4] featuring videos on more advanced mathematical concepts such as Fermat's Last Theorem, the Riemann hypothesis [5] and Kruskal's tree ...
Everyday Mathematics curriculum was developed by the University of Chicago School Math Project (or UCSMP ) [1] which was founded in 1983. Work on it started in the summer of 1985. The 1st edition was released in 1998 and the 2nd in 2002. A third edition was released in 2007 and a fourth in 2014-2015. [2] A new one was released in 2020, dropping ...
Introduction to Meta-Mathematics (Tenth impression 1991 ed.). Amsterdam NY: North-Holland Pub. Co. ISBN 0-7204-2103-9. In Chapter III A Critique of Mathematic Reasoning, §11. The paradoxes, Kleene discusses Intuitionism and Formalism in depth. Throughout the rest of the book he treats, and compares, both Formalist (classical) and Intuitionist ...
The term finite mathematics is sometimes applied to parts of the field of discrete mathematics that deals with finite sets, particularly those areas relevant to business. Research in discrete mathematics increased in the latter half of the twentieth century partly due to the development of digital computers which operate in "discrete" steps and ...
Mathematics is the language of nature, and is the primary conceptual structure we would have in common with extraterrestrial aliens, if any such there be. Mathematical proof is the gateway to a realm of transcendent truth. Reasoning is logic, and logic is essentially mathematical. Hence mathematics structures all possible reasoning.
A mathematical problem is a problem that can be represented, analyzed, and possibly solved, with the methods of mathematics.This can be a real-world problem, such as computing the orbits of the planets in the solar system, or a problem of a more abstract nature, such as Hilbert's problems.
11 is a prime number, and a super-prime. 11 forms a twin prime with 13, [6] and sexy pair with 5 and 17. 11 is also the first prime exponent that does not yield a Mersenne prime. 11 is also a Gaussian prime [7] and an Eisenstein prime. [8] 11 is part of a pair of Brown numbers. Only three such pairs of numbers are known.
[11] A much later advance was the development of the idea that 0 can be considered as a number, with its own numeral. The use of a 0 digit in place-value notation (within other numbers) dates back as early as 700 BCE by the Babylonians, who omitted such a digit when it would have been the last symbol in the number.
