These specific structures investigated often have their origin in the natural sciences , most commonly in physics , but mathematicians also define and investigate structures for reasons purely internal to mathematics, because the structures may provide, for instance, a unifying generalization for several subfields, or a helpful tool for common calculations.

Department of Mathematics Education J. Wilson, EMT 669 The Pythagorean Theorem by Stephanie J. Morris The Pythagorean Theorem was one of the earliest theorems known to ancient civilizations. This famous theorem is named for the Greek mathematician and philosopher, Pythagoras. Pythagoras founded the Pythagorean School of Mathematics in Cortona, a Greek seaport in Southern Italy. He is credited with many contributions to mathematics although some of them may have actually been the work of his students. The Pythagorean Theorem is Pythagoras' most famous mathematical contribution. According to legend, Pythagoras was so happy when he discovered the theorem that he offered a sacrifice of oxen. The later discovery that the square root of 2 is irrational and therefore, cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, greatly troubled Pythagoras and his followers. They were devout in their belief that any two lengths were integral multiples of some unit length. Many attempts were made to suppress the knowledge that the square root of 2 is irrational. It is even said that the man who divulged the secret was drowned at sea. The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that:

Fermat's last theorem Fermat's last theorem (also called Fermat's great theorem ) is one of the most famous theorems in the history of mathematics . It states that: There are no positive natural numbers a b , and c n is a natural number greater than 2. The 17th-century mathematician Pierre de Fermat wrote about this in in his copy of Claude-Gaspar Bachet 's translation of the famous Arithmetica of Diophantus ': "I have discovered a truly remarkable proof but this margin is too small to contain it". This statement is significant because all the other theorems proposed by Fermat were settled, either by proofs he supplied, or by rigorous proofs found afterwards. Mathematicians were long baffled, for they were unable either to prove or to disprove it. The theorem was therefore not the last that Fermat conjectured, but the last to be proved . The theorem is generally thought to be the mathematical result that has provoked the largest number of incorrect proofs. For various special exponents n , the theorem had been proved over the years, but the general case remained elusive. In Gerd Faltings proved the Mordell conjecture , which implies that for any n coprime integers a b and c with a n b n c n Using sophisticated tools from algebraic geometry (in particular elliptic curves and modular forms Galois theory and Hecke algebras , the English mathematician Andrew Wiles , from Princeton University , with help from his former student Richard Taylor , devised a proof of Fermat's last theorem that was published in in the journal Annals of Mathematics Ken Ribet had proved in

27. GODEL'S THEOREMS AND TRUTH His two famous theorems changed mathematics, logic, and even the way we look at our universe. This article explains what Godel proved and why it matters to Christians. http://www.evanwiggs.com/articles/GODEL.html

GODEL'S THEOREMS AND TRUTH By Daniel Graves, MSL Summary Famed mathematician Kurt Godel proved two extraordinary theorems. Accepted by all mathematicians, they have revolutionized mathematics, showing that mathematical truth is more than logic and computation. Does Godel's work imply that someone or something transcends the universe? Truth and Provability Kurt Godel has been called the most important logician since Aristotle.(1) Such praise is evidence of how seriously Godel's ideas are taken by mathematicians. His two famous theorems changed mathematics, logic, and even the way we look at our universe. This article explains what Godel proved and why it matters to Christians. But first we must set the stage. A very simple formal system cannot support number theory but such a system is easily proven to be self-consistent. All we have to do is to show that it can't make a silly proof such as A=Non-A, which would be like saying 2=17. To handle number theory a complex formal system is needed. But as systems get more complex, they are harder to prove consistent. One result is that we don't know if our number theories are sound or if there are contradictions hidden in them. Godel worked with such problems. He especially studied undecidable statements. An undecidable statement is one which can neither be proven true nor false in a formal system. Godel proved that any formal system deep enough to support number theory has at least one undecidable statement.(2) Even if we know that the statement is true, the system cannot prove it. This means the system is incomplete. For this reason, Godel's first proof is called "the incompleteness theorem".

Contents Mathematics Mathematics (often abbreviated to maths or, in American English math ) is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space. In the modern view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using formal logic as the common framework, although some contest that this is necessary. The specific structures investigated often have their origin in the natural sciences , most commonly in physics , but mathematicians also define and investigate structures for reasons purely internal to mathematics, because the structures may provide, for instance, a unifying generalization for several subfields, or a helpful tool for common calculations. Finally, many mathematicians study the areas they do for purely aesthetic reasons, viewing mathematics as an art form rather than as a practical or applied science The word "mathematics" comes from the Greek máthema mathematikós ) means "fond of learning". Historically, the major disciplines within mathematics arose out of the need to do calculations in commerce, to measure land and to predict astronomical events. These three needs can be roughly related to the broad subdivision of mathematics into the study of structure, space and change. The study of structure starts with numbers , firstly the familiar natural numbers and integers and their arithmetical operations, which are recorded in

He is considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of the seventeenth century. Fermat's father was a leather merchant and his mother's family was in the legal profession. Fermat attended a Franciscan monastery before moving on to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in civil law from the University of Orleans in 1631. He married, had five children and practiced law. For the most part, Math was a hobby for Fermat. Fermat was a busy lawyer and did not let his love of math completely take over his time. It's been said that Fermat never wanted anything to be published as he considered math to be his hobby. The only one thing he did publish - he did so anonymously. He sent many of his papers by mail to some of the best mathematicians in France. It was his link with Marin Mersenne that gave Fermat his international reputation. Fermat loved to dabble in math and rarely provide his proofs (evidence or procedures for reaching conclusions), he would state theorems but neglected the proofs! In fact, his most Famous work 'Fermat's Last Theorem' remained without a proof until 1993 when Andrew J. Wiles provided the first proof. During Fermat's lifetime, he received very little recognition as a mathematician, if not for the fact that others saved his papers and letters, he may not be the legacy that he is seen as today.

Pythagorean Theorem Trigonometric ratios Story problems Quiz on Special Triangles One of the most famous mathematicians who has ever lived, Pythagoras, a Greek scholar who lived way back in the 6th century B.C. (back when Bob Dole was learning geometry), came up with one of the most famous theorems ever, the Pythagorean Theorem . It says - in a right triangle, the square of the measure of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the measures of the two legs. This theorem is normally represented by the following equation: a + b = c where c represents the hypotenuse. With this theorem, if you are given the measures of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the measure of the other side. 1. Problem: Find the value of c.
