Mathematics

Mathematics is not arithmetic! Forget for a moment, everything you connect to math: fear, numbers, equations, memorization and right answers. Math is so much more than that. Consider that math’s history and development has been different all around the globe and your understanding of it is likely an ethnocentric one.

Math is the language spoken by the universe. To learn and understand that language is to learn the true nature of the universe. You will discover the intricate connections between math and plants, animals, art, music, architecture, agriculture, planets, stars, statistics, politics, religion, technology and so much more. And what’s more, I’m not going to tell you what you need to know! That’s right, I’m not in charge, you are. I will help facilitate your learning by giving you the tools you need, some questions to ponder and some suggested experiences you may want to try for yourself. You must provide the curiosity, the motivation, the follow-through and the reflection so that you can assess what knowledge you have learned. Good luck!
