Module 1 Introduction MMW

This document provides an introduction to a module on the nature and language of mathematics. It discusses how mathematics is about patterns at different levels of abstraction and the relationships between them. Mathematics is described as a unique yet universal language that serves as the grammar of scientific ideas and represents the complexity of the natural world. The module aims to help students understand what mathematics is, how it is expressed and used, and its universal applicability through its symbolic constructions. It outlines lessons that will cover patterns in nature, the functionality of mathematics, its properties as a language, foundations like sets and functions, logical operations, and propositional and predicate logic.

Mathematics in the Modern World

Module 1
Nature and Language of
Mathematics
~INTRODUCTION~

Edgar M. Adina
Perspectives of mathematics

What does the image show about how people perceive mathematics?
Nature and Language of Mathematics

• mathematics is all about patterns, pursued at varying levels of


abstractions and the relationships that are exhibited in them

• it is a language which thrives in its unique yet universal


symbolisms, serving as the grammar of scientific ideas and the
ultimate expression of the grandeur of creation

• it is a powerful tool to understand and explain almost all


phenomena that occur in nature and in the world and many
more...
Mathematics : All about patterns ...

Any person can recognize the beauty of


nature’s mathematical patterns without any
mathematical training.

Recognize Deduce the


the clues of underlying
patterns in rules and
nature regularities
The System of Mathematics

One’s understanding
of the universe
continues to reach
greater bounds, and
mathematics is
rightfully credited
for this.
MODULE STUDENT OUTCOME

After this module, students should be able to discuss


and argue about the nature of mathematics – what it
is, how it is expressed, represented and used, and
explain the universality of its language in terms of
its construction and symbolism.
