Question

Mathematics is described as an art, a science, a sport, and a language. Explain how mathematics could be each. Did you ever think of mathematics as something else? Describe what mathematics is to you.

Answer 1

Mathematics as an art: a simple, elegant equation can be more beautiful than the Mona Lisa, bring out more emotion the The Scream, and raise more questions than the Venus de Milo.

Mathematics as a science: Math can be, and usually is, used to describe the world around you. You can describe anything with math.

Mathematics as a sport: Math can be even more competitive, albeit often less violent, than any soccer game. Men can be brought to tears if their theory loses.

Mathematics as a language: Mathematics uses some symbols that, to the untrained eye, can easily be more confusing than Latin.

Great question, congratulate your teacher.

Answer 2

Math is an art, a science and a language but a sport? I've never heard that before. Mathematics is the queen of all sciences so that covers that part. Mathematics is an art form and can be found in nature even, so given the beauty of nature, you should then be able to see the art in math. The language of mathematics is a diverse and complicated language, and is often thought of as a potential universal language. Math is a god form because of it's universal nature.

Answer 3

Sounds like you just described Martha Stewart! Which is fine, but a bio does not tell a story. This information is important in establishing your character but as they stand right now, you have a basic description, you could not put this on the back of your book and expect this to entice someone to read it. What will she be doing and why? Give us a storyline, what will she be doing that I would want to read about. We could write a million bio's but without a storyline they are nothing.

Answer 4

I consider it no more than a tool for understanding physics
