It's star when I was only 10 year-old I've studied about Mathemetics a subject which I hate all the time I'm not good at that subject but I don't know why. Time flies It's star to be my problem caused a lot of troubles in my life such a bad situation right? when you don't know how to understand Math's solution. Even my mom she didn't understand why on earth I didn't understand these super easy solution then I ask teacher for helping me about this, She told me that "I HAVE TO MORE CONCENTRATE ON THIS SUBJECT". Everyone knows If we've got problem in which subjects we have to be more ambitious and study harder (But I can't) LOL that's all my bloody stupid thing that I can't fix it in my life
I decided to pursue engineering, hence opted for the science stream in high school. I spent innumerable hours during high school to pursue my interest in mathematics and prepare me for undergraduate study in this field. My effort and dedication paid off when I secured a seat in Delhi Technological University (DTU), one of India′s premier engineering institutes. The fascination with mathematics led me to choose Mathematics and Com- puting as my undergraduate field of
No one thinks that they have an impact on the world. But everyone does; everyone is a number in some algorithm. Each one of us is turned into numbers and those stats become data and are used by scientists to either do good or in some cases, bad. The book “Weapons of Math Destruction”, Cathy O’Neil talks about the dangers of turning people into numbers and how people don 't even know that it is happening. A lot can go wrong when people are no longer people and they are turned into the just number. People could be placed in the wrong group because they went through a rough time for a short period, and that could ruin their lives, but computers only see numbers, not the person the number represents. Job interviews that should have happened, didn 't because the computer passed over them because of a certain number, not the actual person. A person could also be called in for a job because they may have seemed perfect, but they were the opposite of what they needed. And being in a certain area could then mean that a person is now associated with that group even though they never were. The scientist turns people into numbers so that they are easier to cataracts and target, even if those categories are unknown to the public and is causing harm.
When in the classroom learning is something that is like a seesaw. The ups and downs come with some classes more than others. The classes that I have found my most ups and downs are English, math, and science. When learning you can not just keep failing by not seeking help. These are the most challenging classes stem from one of these subjects, but there is always a way to make it through with these three steps; finding the situation, assessing it, and seeking help.
My passion for mathematics was fixed at the age of ten, on the morning that my mathematics teacher told I would be sitting the Junior Maths Challenge, 'as practice for when you are older'. As I nervously started to answer the questions, a whole world began to open before me. I revelled in the problem solving, answering questions of a nature I had not seen before. My teachers were delighted when I emerged from the exam hungry for more. Since then I have consistently demonstrated my aptitude, achieving gold awards through to senior level, and scoring highly in the European Kangaroo.
I realize that there have been many things that have influenced my growth as an individual. However, because I am so often drawn to ideas in math and science, I’d have to conclude that these two fields of study pose the most compelling as far as personal development. My interest in these fields have impacted who I am today. As a younger student I did not really care much about school. In fact, my second grade teacher pronounced me a failure, but my parents believed in my strengths, and gradually school turned a corner for me. By the end of my sophomore year I had begun watching lectures of theoretical physics, and deep space astronomy from the World Science Festival. I went into my Junior year very ambitious and self motivated! My cumulative GPA within
you are a bad student; it only means you are not suited to the one-dimensional
When I was in fifth grade, I was taking third grade math. I could not, for the life of me, figure it out. Math was a huge struggle, and it still is. However, now, I am in Algebra II. Algebra II is a junior class and I am taking it as a sophomore. I have worked very hard to get where I am. This situation has made me realize a couple things. Number one: it is OK to ask questions. Number two: If you work hard, you will accomplish something.
This year my academic struggle is to understand how a wave behaves and a math package. This hard for me on this assignment I got so confused easily. One example, is understand how a wave behave. In this assignment, we have to find frequencies .We have to solve them by using formulas. I chose this as my struggle because I got confused when I see different type of wave some are small and some have so much crust and trigh in a wave.It’s hard for me to tell how many wave in there. What I learn from this when you talk, the sound disturbed molecules that in the air and it is so small that you can’t see it happening. Another struggle that I have is math packet.I choose this as my academic struggle because math is the hardest subject for me. Something I would get confused when the number are top each other. I have hard time dividing numbers and the words problems.The thing that I like about math is when you solving the problems step by step. Math will help me with counting money, measuring things.
Edward Burger and Michael Starbird write in their book The Heart of Mathematics: An invitation to effective thinking (2012) chapter 1.4 From Play to Power of several problem solving techniques. There were many techniques and life lessons that I often apply in my own life as well as some I struggle with.
A mathematical mindset is one in which empowers individuals to value the importance of mistakes and struggle. As discussed in the first three chapters of Mathematical Mindsets, a mathematical mind thrives off of the growth mindset. A quote by Peter Sims really drives the point home for me. He states, “Imperfection is a part of any creative process and of life, yet for some reason we live in a culture that has a paralyzing fear of failure, which prevents action and hardens a rigid perfectionism. It’s the single most disempowering state of mind you can have if you’d like to be more creative, inventive or entrepreneurial,” (p.13). Sims explains the apprehension that society has instilled in many people to avoid challenges, and ultimately avoid
While I have without a doubt learned much more in this class than I assumed I would, I still have trouble grasping the equations and backgrounds of the scientific discoveries we have read about. Science and math have never been my strong suits so it takes a little bit of extra explanation and breakdowns for me to fully comprehend lessons within the two. Since I am a visual learner, watching the theories, laws, and equations be proven would definitely be helpful for me. If there were videos incorporated into the lectures and discussions, I know I would benefit. I am not sure if it is feasible, but if we were able to do any experiments related to the topics, it would be easier for me to clearly understand every aspect of what it is we are focusing on. As I said, I am learning from both the
Mathematics, study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes, and properties and of logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced. In the past, mathematics was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes, as in geometry, or of numbers, as in arithmetic, or of the generalization of these two fields, as in algebra. Toward the middle of the 19th century, however, mathematics came to be regarded increasingly as the science of relations, or as the science that draws necessary conclusions. This latter view encompasses mathematical or symbolic logic, the science of using symbols to provide an exact theory of logical deduction and inference based on
What is the meaning of history? According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, history is: past events that relate to a particular subject, place, organization, etc (Merriam-Webster, 2014). Math began in 30000BC and is still changing now in 2014. During each year, something new has happened.
The film Donald duck in mathmagic land started out with Donald duck in a mysterious world of numbers. He meets a pencil and plays tic TAC toe with a pencil and the pencil wins then he sees a figure in a tree and it recites the number PI to him. Then “the true spirit of adventure” calls Donald and he says that they should journey through the world of mathematics Donald does not like the idea he says it is for “eggheads”, then the spirit started talking about how math is in everything like music they went back in time to ancient greece, he starts talking about Pythagoras (the father or math and music) and how the musical scale has the ratio 2:1. Next they talk about how Pythagoras discovered the pentagram was full of math they say they say the two shorter lines of the pentagram exactly equal the third line and the second and third lines exactly equal the fourth those both
Freshmen year of college and I just took the basic general classes. As time went on, that black hole started to
