Math is a science founded on definitions. So is there a definition that encompasses all kids in the world? I think there is. Children are the only people in the world who want only one thing out of others, love. We want everyone in the world to learn math, even…

I have been working in the field of education for almost a decade. My teaching experience showed me that if we do not find the most efficient way to teach mathematics to our students, we cannot be good educators no matter how hard we try. What I learned from my…

In his 1969 book, The Science of the Artificial, Herbert Simon defines design as “To design is to devise courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.” To move away from the thing at hand to one chosen, the chosen one can’t simply be functional, and it…

Sometimes I find myself thinking, what if we did not have the unique number “pi”? Probably, everything would change. Our beautiful mathematics would turn strange; maybe even the earth would go awry and wouldn’t orbit the sun. If the world is still not so bad, it is because of that…

Books are the perfect bridge between those who want to share their knowledge and those who wish to learn new things. Furthermore, must-reads books are some of the best friends to writers and readers alike. …

Ten years ago, I was sitting by the window of a library, the same one I still attend today. I purposely sat there because it was raining, and I enjoyed watching the movements of the raindrops cluttering against the window. I opened my book to the page where I had…

One of the most enjoyable activities is learning. Someone who has found true enjoyment in learning will spend any free time they have either learning something new or studying something they already know. The presentation of information is of the utmost importance, however. I have believed in high quality my…

“In mathematics, the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it.” This analysis belongs to the undervalued genius of his time, Georg Cantor. — One of the significant losses in this day and age is how unexcited we are about everything. Many people seem not to be affected by discoveries and information, which is one thing that Georg Cantor was very diligent in avoiding. He seldom lost his excitement for anything. Prime examples of…

I remember that my mathematical education started with numbers. First, my father, then later, my elementary teacher, taught me how to count as my elementary math education. However, 2400 years ago, everything was utterly different, and kids were taught geometry first. Before Jesus, geometry was more important than numbers. For…
