Identifiers In We Zamyatin

        Humanity uses numbers as a way to communicate beyond words, evoking ideas more readily than words alone are able to. All religions and cultures have significant numbers that communicate an essence or idea more quickly and completely than words can. It is in this manner that Toni Morrison uses numbers in Beloved. Significant numbers occur starting with the first symbols of the text and the words on the pages before the body of the text starts.

The Pythagorean School, for example, contributed many ideas to the mathematic community, among them, studies of geometry and the theory of proof.5 Euclid also lived in the time of ancient Greece and became a prominent mathematician, as well as author of a book about geometry called, The Elements, considered the second best-selling book of all time.6 The works of Pythagoras and Euclid have become fundamental building blocks for any person with an eighth-grade understanding mathematics. With these advancements, as well as innovations from Archimedes and Apollonius of Perga, Islamic scholars translated their works and contributed even more, growing the worldwide understanding of mathematics.7 Greek progressions in geometry as well as the theory of proof contributed greatly to our ultimate understanding of contemporary mathematics, without which, our modern society would be

In “The Divine Proportion: A Study in Mathematical Beauty,” H.E. Huntley writes about how math is related to basically everything and provides a frame. Math is important to things like art, science, music, and many other things. Huntley was a professor who studied the divine proportion or also known as the “golden ratio.” It is used in math, art, and science.

Theories X & Y have existed since the times of the Bible. Through analytical evaluation of situations in the Bible, we can see the results of using either theory.

Mathematics is essential. She likens mathematics to a computer: it’s indispensable, it’s a tool, it’s an instrument to be used. She explains that everyone has misconceptions about math, and explains that as a community, the face of mathematics can be changed. Mathematics is for everyone: not only for the nerdy and weird outcasts, not only for the white male, not only for those who are not targeted by the stereotypes prevalent in the field. Mathematics is lively, and exciting, and focused on solutions to change the world. Mathematics is what Dr. Gu is guiding students to see; it is not one field, one theme, one subject. Dr. Gu, the teacher I look up to the most, shows her students that mathematics is beautiful. Mathematics is everywhere. Mathematics is our past, present, and

During William Hamilton’s younger years he had accomplished many things already. At age 5 he had already mastered Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. At age twelve his interest in math was sparked when he lost to Zerah Colburn. When he reached fifteen he had begun studying the works of Newton and Colburn. At age 19 he fell in love with a lady named Catherine Disney. While he was young, he had managed to do a number of things.

Zamyatin’s We is a story set far into the future. There is only one country, OneState, and the government controls everything. The story is actually a diary written by the main character, D-503, that is to be sent aboard a space shuttle to other planets in order to describe the greatness of OneState. The diary details the changes that take place in D-503’s life and way of thinking. A woman who was known as I-330 brought about these changes. This anarchistic woman corrupts D-503, throughout the story and steals him away from the woman who loves him, O-90. These two women, and especially I-330, have major roles in the story that documents D-503’s gaining of a soul.

The author of Journey through Genius, William Dunham, begins this chapter by depicting how mathematics was spurred and developed in early civilizations. Dunham focuses primarily on the works’ and achievements’ of early Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece in this section. These ancient societies, as they developed, produced mathematicians such as; Thales, Pythagoras, and Hippocrates, who turned a basic human intuition for space and quantity into applicable everyday mathematics. The primary influences driving the development of early mathematics were the issues of growing civilizations, most notably counting commodities, taxation, and the division of land equally, rather than a pure desire for understanding that is seen in mathematics today. These influences culminated in the development of early arithmetic and geometry.

In the Dystopian novel We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, the protagonist D-503 records his life through a series of journal entries as he lives in a supposed utopian society called the One State, where there are no individuals, only numbers. The novel was written after the Russian Revolution and during a time of tumultuous political struggles. We satirized the teachings of the new Communist rulers and writers of Russia, who worshiped the idea that humanity would function more efficiently if it were logically like a large machine with no vagary of free will on the part of the pieces that comprise the machine, following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The novel challenges a variety of ideologies, which can be seen in the characters and in the narrative. Zamyatin utilizes characters to represent different ideas in the

Sasha Mandic wrote in her article that in spite of Chatelet’s talents in the area of languages, her attention was grabbed by mathematics. She was inspired to study mathematics because of a family friend named M. de Mezieres, who recognized

​When Sophie turned 13, the Bastille fell and forced little Sophie to stay indoors. To kill her boredom, Sophie read books in her father’s library where she became interested in mathematics. She poured over every book on math in her father’s library and even found the time to teach herself Latin and Greek. Knowing those two languages, she was able to read works of Leonhard Euler and Isaac Newton. Sophie’s parents were not okay with the idea that their daughter loved mathematics; they tried to stop her. But eventually, they realized their daughter was serious and allowed her to learn more about mathematics.

We, written by Yevgeny Zamyatin in 1921 as a futurist depiction of protagonist D-503 living in a dystopian society controlled during the Russian revolution of 1917. It is the story of a head engineer writing in his journal who is living under the control of the benefactor, following laws in order to have the most efficient state and infallible happiness. The citizens are not given names they are given number and every hour of each of their lives are directed by a table. Zamyatin constructs the motif of machinery in order to convey the transition of the protagonist D-503 from a dehumanised cog in the OneState’s machine to an individual the readers could relate to. By analysing the tone, motif of machinery and diction to understand the

whole numbers, the idea was born that the world could be interpreted through mathematics, which is a key concept in

Mathematics has contributed to the alteration of technology over many years. The most noticeable mathematical technology is the evolution of the abacus to the many variations of the calculator. Some people argue that the changes in technology have been for the better while others argue they have been for the worse. While this paper does not address specifically technology, this paper rather addresses influential persons in philosophy to the field of mathematics. In order to understand the impact of mathematics, this paper will delve into the three philosophers of the past who have contributed to this academic. In this paper, I will cover the views of three philosophers of mathematics encompassing their
