Exercise 9.3:The term “midpoint” can have different meanings depending on the context. Here are the two most common ones: 1. In geometry: The midpoint of a line segment is the exact middle point on that line segment. It’s the point…
Exercise 9.2:In geometry, points are considered collinear if they all lie on the same straight line, regardless of their distance from each other. The term “collinear” comes from the Latin words “col” meaning “together” and “linear” meaning “line.” Here are…
The Mystery – It is sensible to refer to the term “volcanic bomb” and assume that it is a good idea to explode. However, a particular kind of volcanic bomb is rarely able to live beyond the second part of its…
Unraveling the Enigma: Exploring the Captivating Life and Contributions of a Mathematical Luminary” In the late afternoon of September during 1956 John Horton Conway left his home carrying a trunk on his back. He was slim at 18 and had…
James Stewart- Discovering the Intersection of Mathematics, Art, and Architecture in Stewart’s Masterpiece” For many of us calculus is just another maths class we have to take on at the classroom. However, it was for James Stewart, the author of the…
Rethinking Calculus: Exploring the Controversy Surrounding the Role of Calculus in Contemporary Curriculum” In a majority of schools, children are taught basic arithmetic at elementary school. Then, they are forced to eat an “algebra-geometry-algebra sandwich” between middle school and high…
Pure Mathematics: Unveiling the Beauty and Significance of Pure Mathematics in Academic Discourse” For the first time in 75 years the Godfrey Harold Hardy’s The Mathematicatician’s Apologia continues to fuel the debate on applied and pure math. Godfrey Harold Hardy was one…
Exercise 9.1:Coordinate geometry, also known as analytic geometry or Cartesian geometry, is a branch of mathematics that bridges the gap between algebra and geometry. It allows us to study geometric shapes and their properties using algebraic equations and vice versa.…
World’s Secrets: “How Math Explains the World” is a book written by James D. Stein, a mathematician and professor at California State University, Long Beach. The book explores the pervasive role of mathematics in explaining various phenomena and aspects of…
Pushing Boundaries: birthday cake and expressed the same wish that one day she would have the answer to Hilbert’s 10th question. Although she was working to solve the issue but she didn’t care about completing the task herself. “I thought I could…
