MATHEMATICS
in your chosen course?
5. What is Mathematics?
Comes from the Greek language "mathema" which
means " that which is learnt" or "lesson"
According to Encyclopedia Britannica that defines
mathematics as "the science of structure, order,
and relations that has evolved from elemental
practices of counting, measuring and describing
the shapes and characteristics of objects".
7. Classification
Classification generates a mental series of relations
through grouping of similar objects on certain criteria
like shape, size, color, etc.
Logic Sequence
Ideas in mathematics need to flow in order
to make sense

8. Structure
This pertains to the relatedness of
particular abjects to others
Precision &
Accuracy
Accuracy means how close the measurement to the
actual value while precision means how close a
measurement with each other

9. Abstraction
The process of extracting the underlying
assence of the mathematical concept by taking
away any dependence on the real word objects.
Symbolism
Mathematical language is used to communicate
mathematical ideas using symbols instead of
words including mathematical notations and
formulas.

10. Applicability
Mathematics can lie in any spectrum from
simple to complex such as the significant link
between mathematics and moder science
Generalization
It defines as the process of finding out and
singling out in a whole class of similar objects.
Similarly to giving conclusion or judgement

Mathematics as Science of Patterns
Mathematics as Science of Patterns
Pattern perceives reality by counting,measuring,
reasoning, motion, shape, position and prediction
Pattern recognition is a key determinant of
logical, verbal, numerical and spatial abilities
Commonly used patterns today are logic pattern,
symbol patterns, number patterns, and word
patterns
