History of math through Art

Hình ảnh
 Hi everyone, How many people in our class know about Ao Dai? This is traditional dress of Vietnamese women. We wear this Ao dai in special events such as Tet Holiday, weddings.  I want to introduce this special dress to all of you through my drawing. Besides that, the symmetry of math is in this drawing.  This is the picture I took when I was at my old high school. All the teachers need to wear Ao Dai on every Monday.  Here are all the references which I will use for my project.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDuY1phgYlM https://mythuatms.com/hoc-ve--d2525.html https://vannghethainguyen.vn/2018/06/30/hoa-van-tren-trong-dong-dong-son/ http://museum.thanhhoa.gov.vn/portal/Pages/2015-3-30/TRONG-DONG-VIET-NAM5keow4.aspx Who Invented the Bronze Drum?

Arithmetic of the Medieval Universities

 "The Greeks were concerned with the education of free men as future citizens" "The Romans, like the Greeks, seem to have accepted a few basic subjects as worthy of the efforts of free men and to have expected the young citizens to concentrate on such subjects." ""Logistic is the theory which deals with numerable objects and not with numbers. Arithmetic was a study of the universities; logistic was not. Logistic was practical and utilitarian, a study for children and slaves; logic was a liberal art, a study for free men." The order and the selected subjects are different in Roman and Greek. In the first quote, I do not understand what is meaning of free man. And in the third quote, I still do not understand the difference between logistic and logic.  

Euclide and poem

 1/ The beauty which is mentioned in the poem is the peace and the shapes of shifting lineage.  2/ Why he is still famous in till now. I think the most important discover which Euclide contributed to math is Elements which is the foundation of math.  (Continued....)

Refection about dancing and body movements teaching

  After reading the article “Dancing Euclidean Proofs: Experiments and Observations in Embodied Mathematics Learning and Choreography”, I have two things need to think 1/ “The instructor (Gerofsky) offered a challenge to students to demonstrate the first proposition in Book 1 of Euclid’s Elements as embodied movement, giving attention to the pedagogical affordances of teaching and learning geometry through movement and dance” I wonder that if the instructor can use dancing or body movements to teach all the math problems? Can we have a general algorithm to solve all the geometric math problems? 2/ “Thus mathematical necessity and the constraints of our bodies opened a totally new dimension of our project: the land. Although this new element added beauty, it also added more possibility and thus more decisions. Where is the proof situated — at the level of our outstretched arms, on the ground, or both? “These are questions I also think about too. One more thing is that in the vid...
