Help Math
People often refer to mathematics as an art as well as a science and I
can really understand and see what they mean by this; the number line is
so complex and artistic in patterns that spring up and vast area of
different topics that crop up in mathematics. You can also see how
mathematics is what you make of it; there is no definite label on how
maths should be done, throughout history many cultures have used maths
in their daily lives probably right back thousands of years ago when
people would evenly share food between a family (the theme of division
is evident here). The ancient Egyptians used complex hieroglyphs for
their fractions that still only a trained interpreter would be able to
understand and make the correct calculations with. It is this that
intrigues me the most about mathematics; how different cultures used
mathematics in a variety of different ways and the history behind
discovery's and great advances in maths.
