What is Math.
So when we were asked the question what is math?. I thought that it was an easy question with a simple answer which would be math is just a subject that dealt with numbers.
I was wrong. After asking some people, and doing a little research i have found that math is just not about dealing with numbers, it is dealing with a lot more then just numbers. Math is ongoing, it is problem solving, it is ancient, it is a science, it is not gender specific, it is multicultural. Today during our class discussion i learned that in some math there is no right or wrong answer.
After our class discussion on what is math?, i found this short YouTube clip that i think can apply to our question, here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rte4Lslg9BM
Also i found that the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathmatics, a very useful page, even though it is long this web page i think can give you a good feel for what math is.
So i guess after doing some research and discussing the topic of what math is?, i guess there is no definite answer to that question.
