The point of rigour isnotto destroy all intuition; instead, it should be used to destroybadintuition while clarifying and elevatinggoodintuition. It is only with a combination of both rigorous formalism and good intuition that one can tackle complex mathematical problems; one needs the former to ...
(the curve of mathematical function) and integral (the area under the curve). Though their methods were not always logically sound, mathematicians in the 18th century took on the rigorization stage and were able to justify their methods and create the final stage of calculus. Today, we define...
far too often, the way in which students learn math is equivalent to building a scaffold without ever constructing the building that the scaffolding is intended to support. "The real 'building' in the mathematics sense is the true mathematical understanding, the true ...
An abacus is a calculation tool used by sliding counters along rods or grooves in order to perform mathematical functions. It is still used for arithmetic and accounting. more Consumer Durables: What Part of Retail Sales Are They? Consumer durables, also known as durable goods, are consumer goo...
Well, lots of problems, actually. (My favorite is theKakeya Conjecture.) But I’m talking about a culture problem, a communication problem: the gap between mathematics aswrittenand mathematics aspracticed. Mathematicalworkis full of loop-de-loops and dead ends. It’s multi-modal, multi-player...
In pure mathematics, we study the mathematical concept independently of any application outside mathematics. It includesproof theoryandmathematical logicorsymbolic logicwhich is further divided into several distinct subfields such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, topology, analysis, etc. ...

inherently subjective and uncertain. This skepticism is further fueled by the difficulty in provingmoral claimswith the same rigor as mathematical or scientific ones. By understanding these historical perspectives, you can appreciate how the debates about ethical relativism and epistemological challenges ...
The application of observability to software systems has much in common with its control theory roots. However, it is far less mathematical and much more practical. In part, that’s because software engineering is a much younger and more rapidly evolving discipline than its more mature mechanical...
