 WHAT IS MATHEMATICS?

MATHEMATICS
math·e·mat·ics
 /maTH(ə)ˈmadiks/
 noun: mathematics; noun: applied mathematics; noun: pure mathematics
 the abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own
right ( pure mathematics ), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and
engineering ( applied mathematics ).
 "a taste for mathematics"
 the mathematical aspects of something.
 plural noun: mathematics
 "the mathematics of general relativity"

MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD (MMW)

 WHAT IS MATHEMATICS (CONT’N)
 Origin
late 16th century: plural of obsolete mathematic ‘mathematics’,
from Old French mathematique, from Latin (ars) mathematica
‘mathematical (art)’, from Greek mathēmatikē (tekhnē), from
the base of manthanein ‘learn’.

 WHAT IS MATHEMATICS (CONT’N)
 There is debate over whether mathematical objects such as
numbers and points exist naturally or are human creations. The
mathematician Benjamin Peirce called mathematics "the
science that draws necessary conclusions". Albert Einstein, on
the other hand, stated that "as far as the laws of mathematics
refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are
certain, they do not refer to reality."

 WHAT IS MATHEMATICS (CONT’N)

Through abstraction and logical reasoning mathematics evolved from
counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the
shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has
been a human activity for as far back as written records exist.
Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most
notably in Euclid's Elements. Mathematics continued to develop, in
fitful bursts, until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations
interacted with new scientific discoveries, leading to an acceleration in
research that continues to the present day.

 WHAT IS MATHEMATICS (CONT’N)

Today, mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in
many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the
social sciences. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics
concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields,
inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries and sometimes
leads to the development of entirely new disciplines. Mathematicians also
engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without
having any application in mind, although practical applications for what
began as pure mathematics are often discovered later.

 WHAT IS MATHEMATICS (CONT’N)

Mathematics is the long word for "math," or the science of numbers and
shapes and what they mean. Most people need mathematics everyday to
count and measure.


Mathematics is technically a plural noun — geometry, algebra, calculus: all
of these are mathematics — but usually it is treated as singular. That's why
a person says, mathematics is my favorite subjects, not mathematics are
my favorite subject. The word mathematics comes from the Greek word
manthanein, meaning "to learn."

 WHAT IS MATHEMATICS (CONT’N)
 The Greek word for it is polymathes, "having learned much,"
with poly meaning "much," and manthanein meaning "learn."

 IMPORTANCE OF MATHEMATICS
 As for mathematical inventions, they are numerous throughout
the ages. Some of them were tangible, such as counting and
measuring devices. Some of them are not as tangible as
methods of thinking and solving. The symbols that express
numbers are also one of the most important mathematical
inventions.

1. Auditor

Auditors examine and prepare financial records while checking for
their accuracy, then explaining their findings to key stakeholders.
Internal auditors check for mismanagement of an organization’s funds
and identify ways to improve processes for eliminating waste and
fraud. External auditors are employed by an outside organization to
perform the same tasks, while information technology auditors review
controls for their organizations’ computer systems.


Number (n.)
DEFINITION OF NUMBER

c. 1300, "sum, aggregate of a collection," from Anglo-French noumbre, Old French nombre and directly from Latin numerus
"a number, quantity," from PIE root *nem- "assign, allot; take."

Meaning "written symbol or figure of arithmetic value" is from late 14c. Meaning "single (numbered) issue of a magazine" is
from 1795. Colloquial sense of "a person or thing" is by 1894. Meaning "dialing combination to reach a particular telephone
receiver" is from 1879; hence wrong number (1886). The modern meaning "musical selection" (1885) is from vaudeville
theater programs, where acts were marked by a number. Earlier numbers meant "metrical sound or utterance, measured or
harmonic expression" (late 15c.) and, from 1580s, "poetical measure, poetry, verse."

Number one "oneself" is from 1704 (mock-Italian form numero uno attested from 1973); the biblical Book of Numbers (c.
1400, Latin Numeri, Greek Arithmoi) is so called because it begins with a census of the Israelites. Childish slang number one
and number two for "urination" and "defecation" attested from 1902. Number cruncher is 1966, of machines; 1971 of
persons. To get or have (someone's) number "have someone figured out" is attested from 1853; to say one's number is up
(1806) meaning "one's time has come" is a reference to the numbers on a lottery, draft, etc. The numbers "illegal lottery" is
from 1897, American English.

 DEFINITION OF PATTERN

Something that repeats in a predictable way is a pattern. You might find a
pattern in a series of numbers, in the material covering your couch, or in the
habits of your upstairs neighbor.


The noun pattern could refer to a design or to customary behavior. Your
patterns of behavior might include your morning cup of coffee and exercise.
The word pattern can also be used as a verb form meaning "to model." For
example, your art might be patterned after the artwork of a famous artist.

MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD (MMW)

 DEFINITION OF PATTERN (CONT’N)

pattern (n.)

a Modern English variant of patron, retaining its other old sense of "outline, plan, model, an original
proposed for imitation," from Old French patron "patron, protector; model, pattern." The difference
in form and sense between English patron and pattern wasn't firm before 1700s. The meaning "a
design or figure corresponding in outline to an object that is to be fabricated and serving as a
guide for its shape and dimensions" is by late 14c. Extended sense of "repeated decorative
design" is from 1580s. From 1640s as "a part showing the figure or quality of the whole." Meaning
"model or design in dressmaking" (especially one of paper) is recorded by 1792 (Jane Austen).
Pattern-book is from 1774; pattern-maker is by 1851; pattern baldness is by 1916.

pattern (v.)

1580s, "to make a pattern for, design, plan" (a sense now obsolete), from pattern (n.). Meaning "to
make something after a pattern" is from c. 1600; that of "to cover with a design or pattern" is by
1857. To pattern after "take as a model" is by 1878.

 DEFINITION OF PATTERN (CONT’N)

patron (n.)

c. 1300, patroun, "a lord-master, one who protects, supports, or encourages," also "one who has the
right of presenting a clergyman to a preferment," from Old French patron "patron, protector, patron saint"
(12c.) and directly from Medieval Latin patronus "patron saint, bestower of a benefice; lord, master;
model, pattern, example," from Latin patronus "defender, protector; former master (of a freed slave);
advocate," from pater (genitive patris) "father" (see father (n.)). A doublet of pattern (n.); also compare
patroon.


From late 14c. as "founder of a religious order," also "a patron saint." The meaning "one who advances
and encourages the cause or work" of an artist, institution, etc., usually by means of the person's wealth
and power, is suggested from late 14c., clearly in this sense by c. 1600; "commonly a wretch who
supports with insolence, and is paid with flattery" [Johnson]. The commercial sense of "regular
customer" is recorded from c. 1600. Patron saint "saint regarded as a special protector of a person,
place, profession, etc." (by 1717) originally was simply patron (late 14c.).
