Geometry is all around us-from the orbit of the Moon’s repeating pattern to the complex forms found in a spiderweb. Of course, ancient people saw these things and many more, and they came up with rules to measure and explain what they saw. Geometry is the mathematics branch that studies each other’s shapes and relationships….

The initial search got 414 articles in total. After applying exclusion criteria, 186 articles were left. Among 186 articles, only 13 clearly stated the definition of math attitudes, while the rest articles did not define the term at all. Three types of definition were commonly used in those researches which explicitly defined the term: simple…

The event the movie covers occurs in 1963. Hidden Figures shows a journey of determined female mathematicians that calculated the number that would launch rockets into space. A laboratory in Hampton, VA wanted to hire junior physicist and mathematicians to help in the war effort. The Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory new hires aided in the…

We all know mathematics is very essential in education, it serves as the core towards many aspects. It is such a great contributor towards the progression of a country that’s why we, students are taught to learn mathematics in accordance to the global standards of education. But the problem is, the performance of the students…

As students attend school worldwide, math would not have been created if mathematicians did not exist. Albert Einstein, Euclid, Carl Friedrich Gauss, and many more mathematicians have impacted the world by introducing the science of numbers we all know as mathematics. Isaac Newton, for instance, has been very impactful to the world of mathematics and…

Whether you know it or not, geometry is everywhere. Geometry is a type of math that deals with lines, planes, shapes, angles, and much more. When you are driving down the road you see buildings that have geometric qualities. When you come to a stop-sign, you see an eight sided figure called an octagon. So,…

Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1693 (December 25, 1642 O.S) and was christened as a “natural philosopher” until his death date, March 31, 1727 (March 20, 1726 O.S). This term, back in his day, characterized his fascinations and intensive knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, theology, writing and physics, among other things. Other natural…

Teachers of mathematics are constantly challenged with finding the most effective methods of reaching students. Primary school and high school students today are part of a group with a lot of technological tools at their disposal. They play games, listen to music, and watch more movies than students ever have. While these types of technology…

Math is an essentially universal element used since prehistoric times by our ancient ancestors. Most believe prehistoric people were able to use math to differentiate between a certain number of like objects. Ancient tribes didn’t need a number system as they only really farmed for however much was there. They understood tallying and keeping track…

Sir William Rowan Hamilton was a very well known scientist who was born in Ireland. His specialties were in astronomy, physics, and mathematics. His expertise in mathematics was very helpful when he had contributed to the dynamics and geometry side of math. These skills had influenced many upcoming scientists and mathematicians because his skills were…
