By: Agladde Licon, Alexa Tapia, Karime Garcia, Leticia Morales, Nathaniel Gallardo, Guillermo Carrasco
Origins of Math
How math came about
- Communities of knowers and mathematicians have been key in creating the math we know today.
- From all around the world that create new concepts
CALCULUS
PYTHAGOREON THEOREM
Important Inventors of Math
MECHANICAL CALCULATORS
Math in communities
Math in Communities
- The majority of cultures have a math community
- They all agree on the same thing, regardless of any language or cultural differences.
- People are obligated to observe and agree upon a consensus, and this applies to mathematical concepts as well
- Math has to be agreed upon by these knowers in order for it to be proven
Math
Other Areas of Knowledge
Math in Culture
- Areas of Knowledge in TOK Course = Technology, Indigenous Societies, Politics, and Religion
- Technology (Internet Culture, Memes)
- Politics (Culture created based on area)
- Indigenous Societies (Make own Traditions/ Culture)
Religion (Culture and Tradition through Practice and Belief)
Different Perspectives
Different perspectives of math
- Mathematical thinking is different depending on the cultural context
- Cultural perspectives
- People express knowledge in different ways, depending on the background they come from
- Mathematical concepts are used at home, relate to our cultural and daily experiences
- Shared knowledge vs personal knowledge
Ethnomathematics
Definition: Study of relationship between mathematics and culture
Ethnomathematics
Ex: Counting around the world
The Yupno
Torres Strait
China
Number systems around the world
GREATER DETAIL
Using math in other areas of knowledge
- All areas of knowledge will consist of the area of mathematics one way or another
- Mathematics serves as the base for most areas of knowledge
- Mathematics is its own area of knowledge that does not necessarily depend on other areas the same way that the other areas depend on mathematics in order to progress.
Personal Experience & Math
Personal Experience in Math
- Personal experience plays a significant role in the formation of claims within Math
- Personal experience with math and learning topics impacts how one forms and perceives claims when applying skills in mathematics
Objectivity Within Math
Objectivity in Math
- Objective facts within real life scenarios and personal experience
- The formation of factual claims within math
Math Remains Unchanged
How Math remains unchanged
- Math has a degree of certainty other areas do not
- It is founded on definitions and basic assumptions that are universally agreed upon
- Mathematicians have created techniques and strategies that are accepted and have remained unchanged overtime
