1) 10 new things I have learned about mathematics:
- On a plane, the pythagorean theorem is true, however, at the north pole this isn't correct and isn't possible.
- The pythagorean theorem is true, and we were taught how to prove it.
- The basis for trigonometry is pythagorean theorem.
- There are an infinate number of pythagorean triplets.
- There are no fractions that work in the equation: x^3+y^3=1
- The name for the symbol that is used for measuring an angle (θ), is called theta.
- There are seven millenium (world wide) problems created in 2000, and there is a million dollar reward for each problem if you solve it.
- Fermat's Last Theorem is not one of the seven millenium (million dollar) problems.
- Carl Gauss amazed his teacher by quickly summing up all the integers between one and one hundred.
- Carl Gauss was just as good of a mathematician as Isaac Newton, but not as well known.
2) What have you learned from The Talk?
- I have learned that the pythagorean theorem is in fact true, and it is possible to prove it. During the first part of The Talk, we discussed and figured out how to prove that the pythagorean theorem is valid. true.
3) How does The Workshop help you in future math learning?
- The Workshop helps me in future math learning by that it directs its questions to everyday activities and not just some useless questions which don't have any impact on everyday needs. They make us notice the possible alternative means of solving questions which are present in everyday circumstances.
