According to an article by Scholastics Best Practices: Integrating Mathematics and Language Arts incorporating math-using books to teach mathematics engages and motivates students. Ant the same time it helps them build understanding of math skills. Mathematics as any other subject can be supplemented with ELA and literature. By incorporating literature in math students will be able to be involve in discussion about the literature and mathematics at the same time. In other words this will be a win-win scenario
“Bulletproof” by David Guetta depicts my steadfast dedication and strong character. The lyrics “You shoot me down, but I won’t fall, I am titanium” remind me that I can achieve my ambitions through the toughest times, no matter how many obstacles I must cross. When I was 11 years old, I lost my father to an accident. My family was heartbroken. I watched my mother endure many hardships for her children and become one of the strongest people I know. She inspired me to persevere through my grief and
Should I Major in Nursing Science or not? Nursing is hard job. Nurses who work hard by taking care of the patient. I am in college with no career choice. I had no experience about what it will be like to be a nurse. My mom always wanted me to be an accountant. So I decided to major in accounting. Accounting is all about numbers. And I was good at math in high school. I was enjoying math, and never got bored when I was doing my homework. However, I like to study about human body structures. Taking
Out of the many things that I enjoy spending my time with, mathematics and digital media are the two interests that I am the most passionate about. Each of these interests is influential to me in different ways. For example, mathematics allows me to challenge myself and I always feel very accomplished after finding that I am able to solve new problems. By attending the summer courses of Rutgers Young Scholars Program in Discrete Mathematics (RYSP), I was introduced to many new areas such as combinatorics
in the most forward thinking fields. A significant factor in the increase in awareness of career options can be attributed to the STEM Education Coalition. This program brings attention to the vital roles of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in today’s society. STEM pushes for the integration of these subjects into the daily curriculum of a student, and aims to prove the viability of these four areas for the future. The emphasis placed on STEM programs and careers is vital: it is already
around me. Exploring upper level mathematics has opened the door for me to discover those answers through mathematical concepts. The more in depth I go with mathematics, the more my urge to know and understand increases. I am writing on behalf of my application to study towards the masters degree at the University of Alabama in the Department of Mathematics. Attending the University of Alabama’s graduate program would allow me to pursue my passion for mathematics and explore even more mathematical
Muslim development? No big deal, right? Wrong! Muslim civilizations produced some of the most influential innovations and communications that still affects the world today. The most important Muslim developments are mathematics, astronomy, and science. These developments are most important because they contribute to our knowledge about earth and life on the planet. The opposition claims that philosophy was the most influential Muslim contribution, a study of the fundamental nature of knowledge
Artists have long been using mathematics in their work. Some mathematicians such as Leonardo Da Vinci and M.C Escher have become artists while pursuing their mathematics. Mathematics has directly influenced their art with conceptual tools such as linear perspective and the analysis of symmetry. In this study we will look at the contribution of mathematics in doing visual arts. When linking mathematics with visual arts, students somehow bring feeling and emotions to their work. They are learning through
work and art is somewhat similar in the sense that Michelangelo (a sculpture) and Turing saw a picture clearly in the marble as compared to everyone much clearly. They both come up with new ideas and give emphasis to humans. Before delivering lectures on recursion theory on the integers; Soare started the outing with a couple of days in Florence returning to the Renaissance art fortunes of the Uffizi exhibition and Michelangelo 's statues in the Academia, which clearly shows how the art and mathematics

experiment, and build gadgets such as kites, windmills, and sundials. His curiosity and quest for knowledge drove him through school and ultimately to Cambridge University’s Trinity College. He studied mathematics and natural philosophy earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1665 and in 1669, a Master of Arts degree. Newton studied the nature of light from the Sun’s rays.
Scratch, the parent of ScratchJr, was designed for students ages 8 and up. It similarly allows for programming using drag and drop blocks, but expands beyond the limited options to allow the creation of animations, stories, games, art and more. Additionally, it was created to be community driven and has tools to share projects with others all over the world. Scratch and ScratchJr can be used early on in K-8 to develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills needed to implement
Mathematics can, at times, be the single most frustrating subject I have ever studied, yet I love it. The euphoria of completing a particularly hard puzzle, or the sudden realisation of a particular topic clicking into place, makes the challenge and the hard work all the more worthwhile. Studying both maths and further maths at 'A' level has been the most enjoyable and rewarding part of my academic career, and the logic and reasoning required for the subject keeps me interested. By studying mathematics
because all of its city-states were separated by mountains. Although the Greeks were naturally separated they were able to make a great impact on the modern world and customs. Their interest in mathematics, athletics, architecture and art is something that is still shaping cultures today. Mathematics was a very important part of Greek culture. Many mathematicians such as Euclid and Thales Milisious used their discoveries and theories to shape present day math. In Document 1 there is a quote from
division between the “thinkers” and the “doers” has been present for generations. Yet, why can’t someone be both? I have always loved “thinking” and “doing”, and for this reason, I am dual majoring in Physics and Electrical Engineering, minoring in Mathematics, and earning my masters in both disciplines. But, how does one best practice these skill-sets to better society? I believe that I would best contribute by entering into Military Research and Development with the Department of Defense
During the past several years, my appreciation for mathematics has grown and it has become an an integral part of me. University of Michigan’s department of mathematics in the school of Literature, Science, and the Arts offers many rigorous courses as well as extracurricular opportunities to support my interests. I hope to explore the different branches of mathematics, including Analysis, Topology, Algebra, among others. One topic that I am currently self-studying is real analysis using the book
next year and a half, he made a series of new contributions to science. He later recalled, “All this was in the two plague years of 1655 and 1666, for in those days I was in my prime age for invention, and minded mathematics and philosophy more than at any time since.” In mathematics, Isaac conceived his “method of fluxions,” laid in the foundations for his theory of light and color, and achieved significant understanding into the problem of planetary motion. This understanding eventually led to
I am applying to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) as a math major because the prestige of the math department at UM-Ann Arbor attracts me. With the broad range of coursework that UM-Ann Arbor offers, I foresee being interested in more than just math, possibly minoring or double majoring in another subject. There are numerous subjects and classes that I can choose from, and I am looking forward to taking full advantage of UM-Ann Arbor’s various course offerings by exploring other
growing passion for mathematics. Confidence flowed within me as I was regularly challenged to assist with math and science initiatives. I recall my teachers commenting on the excellent academic programs at the University of Michigan. One even suggested that I exhibited the drive and ability comparable to the students of Michigan. Although young, those goal defining statements ignited hope and fueled my journey forward. Upon entering high school, I continued my focus on mathematics while expanding
I want to apply to NYU mainly for its excellent math major, which I will apply to, and support on entrepreneurship. The Courant Institute of Mathematics provides great supports to students both in academics and activities. For competitions, I want to attend the Putnam Competition in college and NYU has sufficient resources to help students perform well in Putnam Competition from its high ranking in the contest. Also, I hope that I can find some math major people to communicate with besides classes
