Moreover, two spreadsheets were developed for using mathematics lessons. By this way, students had different opportunities to calculate square root except for text books. Additionally, the method provided some basis of limits and infinity.Karakuş Fatih...
2、supplementary concept—infinity Infinity is a concept describing something without any bound, or something larger than any natural number. The mathematical concept of infinity and the manipulation of infinite sets are used everywhere in mathematics, and the concept of infinity is also used in other...
180 degrees. It is the embryonic form of Gauss–Bonnet formula. Parallel is one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics and influenced modern physics. Trisecting angle and squaring circle are the straightedge and compass construction problems put forward by the Greeks, one associated with ...
They are motivational, more concrete instead of abstract, philosophical analogy with the Nature (afterall, the math ideas derived from the universe, eg. Pi, e, golden ratio, infinity, limit, …), plus the historical background in which these math ideas were first discovered, and the beauty ...
The infinitely small and the infinitely large – in one form or another – are essential in calculus. In fact, they are among the distinguishing features of calculus compared to some other branches of mathematics, for example algebra. They have appeared throughout the history of calculus in vari...
23.Georg Cantor[1845–1918] founded set theory in the 19th century, defined cardinal and ordinal numbers, and also started the theory of infinity.Kurt Gödel[1906–1978] proved the incompleteness theorem in 1931.Alfred Tarski[1901–1983] developed model theory.Paul Cohen[1934–2007] developed ...
e is the limit of (1 + 1/n)n as n approaches infinity. Euler died in 1783 at the age of 76 still active to the end. Sources: Musser, Gary. Burger, William. Peterson, Blake. Mathematics For Elementary Teachers: A Contemporary Approach, 6th ed.; Wiley. Leonard Euler was a pioneering...

M Niaz - 《Journal of Research in Science Teaching》 被引量: 23发表: 2010年 The Philosophy of Strict Finitism The framework is Jean Piaget's genetic epistemology. Based upon these developmental studies, the mathematical branch introduces a new concept of infinity into mathematics. Cantor propagated...
