    This document discusses the historical classifications of mathematics into pure and applied branches. In the classical era and time of Carl Friedrich Gauss, mathematics was not formally divided in this way and was seen as a more unified field that could be understood and solved by individuals. While applied mathematics was seen as useful, the document notes that imaginative ideas in pure mathematics have also proven valuable by generating new concepts over time.

    CHAPTER 5:

    FROM VIOLINS TO VIDEOS

    SUMMARIZATION

    Nowadays, Mathematics is known to be divided into two classifications namely pure

    mathematics and applied mathematics. But unfortunately these are not practiced in the

    classical era of mathematics, specifically in the time of Carl Friedrich Gauss. Mathematics

    was uncomplicated knowing that it can be pictured out and concluded easily by one person.

    Mathematics that time would be neater in terms of organizational aspects if the two

    classifications of mathematics that we are using today were already known before. However,

    it was always presumed that the applied mathematics was useful and practical. Yes, it can be

    technically true but in terms of modernized math, imaginative views are producers of good

    ideas which are considered rare.
