What is the importance of math for the students. On the Importance of Mathematics. Posted by Antonio Cangiano in Math Education on March 31st, 2008 | 29 responses Mathematics is the queen of science and the language of nature. Its importance should be clear to any reasonable person. It is easy however to diminish the value of certain areas of research because they’re currently thought as having little practical use. Evolutionary needs brought our mind to prefer knowledge that can be employed for the solution of specific problems in the real world, rather than deeply abstract ones.
It is an understandable and even excusable fallacy that there are useful fields of math and useless ones, based on the perception of their applied or theoretical nature. On the net I found an incredible lecture by the brilliant mathematician Timothy Gowers, entitled “The Importance of Mathematics”. For those who’d prefer it, a PDF transcript is also available. Why is Mathematics Important? In this note we excerpt some of the highlights of Professor Arnold's May 2003 commencement address, titled "Doing the Math and Making an Impact", and given by him for the mathematics and statistics graduation at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Professor Arnold is the Director of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications which is associated with our department.
The full text of this interesting and inspiring talk is online at Asking "What makes the math sciences so central? ", he answers by quoting Galileo: "The great book of nature can be read only by those who know the language in which it was written. And that language is mathematics. ", adding "Math is the way to understand all sorts of things in the world around us. " In conclusion he exhorts the graduates to cultivate and apply logical, mathematical and quantitative thinking even if they do not become research mathematicians. New Page 1. Paul Ernest University of Exeter, United Kingdom Why teach mathematics? What are the purposes, goals, justifications and reasons for teaching mathematics? How can current mathematical teaching plans and practices be justified?
What might be the rationale for reformed, future or possible approaches for mathematics teaching? What should be the reason for teaching mathematics, if it is to be taught at all? Before discussing the aims of teaching mathematics there are three theses that I wish to assert as having an important bearing on this discussion. First of all I want to argue that school mathematics is neither uniquely defined nor value-free and culture-free. Second, I wish to argue that the utility of academic and school mathematics in the modern world is greatly overestimated, and the utilitarian argument provides a poor justification for the universal teaching of the subject throughout the years of compulsory schooling. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 1. 2. 3. 4.
