Assignment 3

1. The document summarizes the key learnings and reflections from two video clips about mathematics. It discusses how mathematics can provide answers about patterns in the world, correlate theories to real-world problems, and offer different perspectives. 2. It notes some lingering confusion, such as how mathematics applies to languages and whether anything exists outside of mathematical patterns. It also questions why some dislike mathematics despite its usefulness. 3. Reflections include realizing mathematics is subjective and describes things from various viewpoints, and that problems can have multiple solutions found through imagination rather than a single method.

Watch the video clips and complete the statements that follow.
 The Map of Mathematics

 Math is the Hidden Secret to Understanding the World by Roger Antonsen

1. Three things that I significantly learned from the video clip


Mathematics is the absolute and ultimate truth which can give answer on things in
this world. I could not say everything because science or other pure sciences may object.
As I watched the video I realized that Mathematics has always have to do with the
patterns. Through patterns something unexplainable could understandable and something
impossible could be imaginable. Mathematics describes things through finding its pattern,
through representing the pattern in languages and making assumption to whatever is
happening. Through this video, I also gained knowledge on different areas of
mathematics which school has not taught me yet. I knew for the fact that the theories and
concepts on pure mathematics could be correlated in applied mathematics in a way that
such things can be the real solution to the world problems. If I learned something that
will make my life change it is that understanding can be obtained through the changing of
perspective. Mathematics as a representation could lead to multiple perspective. It reveals
higher level of understanding and shows different perspective.
2. Three things that are still unclear to me
Honestly speaking, through these clips I got just little confusion about the concept
of mathematics. I still do not get the possibility of involvement of mathematics in
everything. Like for example on things that we do not often seem to see mathematics like
in languages/dialects. Is there any particular thing that doesn’t involve mathematics?
Another is that, I want an explanation why other people do not want or even hate
mathematics well in fact that it is so useful in everyday living.
1. I used to think that
Mathematics can only be taught technically and in school. That if you just try to
observe things outside the board you will just get wrong findings. But actually it’s not,
mathematics for me now is subjective, for it describes things in different point of
perspectives. Another thinking of me before is that, if you are going to solve problems
specifically with regards to math, it is necessary to just use only one way of solving it for
that was the desired and appropriate one. But thought the video clips I realized that you
just have to be imaginative for imagination especially on the world of math will lead you
to find the brighter solutions.
4.Three questions that I want to ask about the video clip
 What would happen if humans did not discovered mathematics?
 Where does the mathematics came from? What is the main or the primary
concept of having mathematics?
 Is there a possibility that mathematics will go beyond this modern day
discoveries?
