There is no physical entity that is number 1. – “The science of mathematics presents the most brilliant example of how pure reason may successfully enlarge its domain without the aid of experience” Immanuel Kant. – “As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality” Albert Einstein. – “Mathematics is like checkers in being suitable for the young, not too difficult, amusing, and without peril to the state” Plato. – “The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with facts for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life” Ernest Renan. – “Mathematics consists of proving the most obvious thing in the least obvious way” George Polya. You just get used to them” John Von Neumann. – “In mathematics you don't understand things. Mathematics is very broadly divided into foundations, algebra, analysis, geometry, and applied mathematics, which includes theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. In short mathematics is a deductive study of numbers, geometry, and various abstract constructs, or structures the latter often “abstract” the features common to several models derived from the empirical, or applied sciences, although many emerge from purely mathematical or logical considerations. Among the principal branches of mathematics are algebra, analysis, arithmetic, combinatorics, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, game theory, number theory, numerical analysis, optimization, probability, set theory, statistics, topology, and trigonometry. Many consider math the underlying language of science.

After playing the math game you can also read some selected quotes below about mathematics. The game below is something that might seem to be played easily, but the main benefit would occur if you give accurate answers while playing fast, don't let the simplicity of the game fool you, it's simple but greatly stimulates your brain, especially when performing rapid calculations, your brain gets used to thinking in a fast pace, and that in itself is a good math work out. Mathematics are one form in finding solutions to real life obstacles, such as in algebra, analysis, arithmetic, combinatorics, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, game theory, number theory, numerical analysis, optimization, probability, set theory, statistics, topology, and trigonometry … etc. Life is filled with problems, and as part of our daily routine is to solve easy or hard problems. 1st Francis Peng from Franklin Middle School, Pocatello.Math is one of the top stimulants to the brain this is an interactive game which stimulates your mental abilities.2nd Mandi Xu from Franklin Middle School, Pocatello.3rd William Yik from Grace Lutheran, Pocatello.

The top individual was Francis Peng from Franklin Middle School in Pocatello. They do a great job every year,” Atkinson said.Ī team of middle school mathletes from Franklin Middle School in Pocatello won the competition overall. She said kids love the competition and most of them stay in the program as long as they can. Training involves games, speed rounds and “Test Tuesday”. Malad Middle School Coach Kathy Atkinson said her school offers classes where students can prepare for the competition. This year, Monsanto donated a large portion of the cost of the event. Chanda and nearly 50 other volunteers helped with the event to make it possible for kids to compete.
