ematics in the Modern World

Patterns and Numbers

• Mathematics is not all about numbers, it is more about reasoning, making
logical inferences and generalization, and seeing relationships in both
visible and invisible pattern.

• Mathematics goes beyond arithmetic, it is a language by which the

universe is elegantly designed. Its value transcends the intellectual,
practical, and even the aesthetics standards.

David Hilbert
• Dyscalculia
 Influenced modern mathematics within his axiomatic
treatment of geometry,

 Used abstraction rather than explicit computations to

prove and establish essential mathematical theories

 Patterns and Numbers
• Patterns are the core topics in mathematics.
• Mathematics as the Science of Patterns.

Two types of Patterns:

• Numeric
• Geometric(Shapes)

 Isaac Newton

 “What we know is a drop, what we do not know is an ocean.”

Immanuel Kant

• “Mathematics is the indispensable instrument of all physical researches”

Johann Friedrich Herbart

• “Mathematics wards of the dangers of philosophy ” and that “ it is not only possible, but necessary that Mathematics be
applied to Psychology”

“The most important nature of Mathematics is its relevance to the broad spectrum of human concern”
