RECITATION

26
"Mathematics, as much
as music or any other art, is one of the means by which we rise to a complete self-consciousness.
The significance of mathematics resides precisely in the fact that it is an art: by informing us of
the nature of our own minds, it informs us of much that depends on our minds."
John William Navin Sullivan, a famous science writer

31
was especially useful during the
development of agriculture when surpluses in food
allowed trade.
RUDIMENTARY MATH
32
math exists objectively and independent of human thought.
REALISM
33
holds that mathematics is a
product of the human imagination and is carefully engineered to make formal statements about
nature in order to aid our understanding of the behavior of the universe.
anti-realism or idealism
34
the branch of
mathematics that are involved in the
study of the physical, biological, or
sociological world.
APPLIED MATH
35
driven by
abstract problems, rather than real world problems.
PURE MATH

6 THINGS ABOUT YOU AND MATH
Learning math is good for your brain.
Math helps you with your finances
Math helps us have better problem-solving skills.
Practically every career uses math in some way
Math is all around us and helps us understand the world better.
Math is a universal language.
37
indicates
that you can draw
an imaginary line
across an object and
the resulting parts
are mirror images
of each other.
Symmetry
38
3 TYPES OF SYMMETRY (BRS)
BILATERAL
RADIAL
SPHERICAL
39
indicates
that if you draw a
line across an object,
the left portion of
that object will be
the mirror reflection
of right portion.
BILATERAL
40
indicates
that if you rotate an
object by several
degrees you can still
achieve the same
appearance as the
original position
RADIAL
41
indicates that if you
cut a certain object
along its center it
will generate two
identical halves.
SPHERICAL
42
focuses on solving real-world problems in various fields, such as physics, biology, sociology, and engineering
APPLIED MATHEMATICS
43
need expertise in multiple areas of math and science, as well as collaboration and physical intuition
APPLIED MATHEMATICS
44
deals with abstract problems rather than concrete real-world issues. While some of these abstract problems may have their roots in practical matters, pure mathematicians delve deeper to explore technicalities and theoretical challenges
PURE MATHEMATICS
45
Pure and applied mathematics are not mutually exclusive;
they coexist and serve distinct purposes within the realm of mathematics
46
are focused on proving theorems, while applied mathematicians aim to construct theories that address practical problems
PURE MATHEMATICS
47
are considered the first kind of abstract numeral system
TALLYING SYSTEMS

USE OF MATH IN OUR LIVES (BFPUUU)
1. BRAIN HEALTH
2. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
3. PROBLEM-SOLVING
4. UNIVERSAL CAREER RELEVANCE
5. UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD
6. UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
50
the study of pattern and structure
MATHEMATICS
51
Many patterns and occurrences exists in ________, in our _______, in our ________
NATURE, WORLD, LIFE
52
are visible regularities of form found in the natural world and can also be seen in the universe.
PATTERNS IN NATURE
53
which are not just to be admired, they are vital clues to the rules that govern natural processes.
NATURE PATTERNS
54
- Regular
- Repeated
- Recurring forms or designs
- Identify relationships
- Find logical connections to form generalizations
PATTERN
55
EXAMPLES OF PATTERNS
EXAMPLES OF PATTTERNS:
1. Patterns can be observed even in stars which move in circles across the sky each day.
2. The weather season cycle each year. All snowflakes contains sixfold symmetry which no two are exactly the same.
3. Patterns can be seen in fish patterns like spotted trunkfish, spotted puffer, blue spotted stingray, spotted moral eel, coral grouper, redlion fish, yellow boxfish and angel fish. These animals and fish stripes and spots attest to mathematical regularities in biological growth and form.
4. Zebras, tigers, cats and snakes are covered in patterns of stripes; leopards and hyenas are covered in pattern of spots and giraffes are covered in pattern of blotches.
5. Natural pattems like the intricate waves across the oceans; sand dunes on deserts; formation of typhoon; water drop with ripple and others. These serves as clues to the rules that govern the flow of water, sand and air.
56
, a system of conventional spoken, manual (signed), or written symbols by means of which human beings, as members of a social group and participants in its culture, express themselves
LANGUAGE
57
may refer to a system of communication using symbols or sounds.
LANGUAGE
58
defined language as a set of sentences constructed using a finite set of elements.
Linguist Noam Chomsky
59
The language of mathematics makes it easy to express the kinds of thoughts that mathematicians like to express. It is:
1. PRECISE: It can make very fine distinctions among set of symbols
2. CONSISE: It can briefly express long sentences
3. POWERFUL: It gives upon expressing complex thoughts
60
refer to numbers or values that are manipulated in a mathematical sentence.
MATHEMATICAL NOUNS
61
are symbols that show the relationship of at least two expressions.
MATHEMATICAL VERBS
62
are the basic mathematical operations.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
63
the capacity of consciously making sense of things, applying logic, and
adapting or justifying practices, institutions, and beliefs based on new or existing information.
REASON
64
type of reasoning that forms a conclusion based on the examination of specific
examples is called
INDUCTIVE REASONING
65
examples. The conclusion formed by using inductive reasoning
is called a
CONJECTURE
66
It can only become a ________ once a
proof of the conjecture is established.
THEOREM
67
A ___________is a demonstration, or argument, that shows
beyond a shadow of a doubt that a given assertion is a logical consequence of our axioms and
definitions.
PROOF
68
_________________ (1564-1642) used
inductive reasoning to discover that the time required for a pendulum to complete one swing,
called the ________________________, depends on the length of the pendulum.
Galileo Galilei, period of the pendulum
69
A statement is a true statement if and only if it is true in all cases. If you can find one case
for which a statement is not true, called a _________________________, then the statement is a false
statement.
COUNTEREXAMPLE
70
____________ reasoning is
distinguished from inductive reasoning in that it is the process of reaching a conclusion by
applying general assumptions, procedures, or principles.
DEDUCTIVE
71
may be a system of words or codes used within a discipline.
