The study of mathematics is like air or water to our technological society.
Under the twitter banner of #Noethember, initiated by Constanza Rojas-Molina, an international drawing challenge themed around mathematician Emmy Noether was organised in November, 2018. The project resulted in a huge number of drawings and a warm feeling among those who participated. For 30 days, people across Twitter shared their sketches illustrating facts about Noether’s life...

A couple of months ago I was contacted by the author to do a read and review this book and I was very intrigued and excited. I finished “The Calculus Experience: A Tale of Intuition and Rigor (vol 1 Precalculus) by Vaibhav Varun* in one month and it reminded me how much I enjoy reading mathematics... Continue Reading →
A while ago we have asked people on Facebook about one of those calculations questions that involves the order of operations. We are always curious what people think about this type of questions. Check out the post and the comments if you want to find out more: https://www.facebook.com/lthmath/photos/a.667617449933995/3615472308481813/ This is a type of question that... Continue Reading →
Continuing with solving equations (an important aspect of understanding algebra and many other topics in mathematics). In this video I am looking at the adding and subtracting fractions and how understanding them helps us understand how to solve equations involving fractions. https://youtu.be/xdDfm5dRy6Y This is the second video in a series of videos that focuses on...

A lot of things have change about studying mathematics and other domains that involve number calculations when people have started developing adding machines. From understanding adding machines and developing new mechanism, people have constructing the computers we all use nowadays. I have chosen 4 adding machines that made an impact in the development of this... Continue Reading →

Before developing any complex mathematical theorems or theory in general, people had to understand and use numbers. You might think that this is an easy concept to understand, but philosophers have been arguing for a while about them. The big question is if the concept of numbers exists outside of our cultures and brain. Are... Continue Reading →
