What side of the brain does mathematics use?

Question

Heck had no idea where to stick this question

Answer 1

The traditional answer is right as in "you are so right brained" when trying to explain an opera to your friend that is a chemist that just doesn't get it.
The right side of the brain is associated with logical operations (do everything inside the parenthesis first) and thus math but in reality both sides of the brain (to different extents) are used in every function. I have listed links below for you.

Answer 2

I always thought the left side was associated with math, and calculations and the right side is creative? I better check, Only one person agrees with that on here. I thought the right side of your brain is the emotional part and the female are usually more right brained but not all.

Answer 3

I feel as if it is the instruction you got while going through this learning process. Such as if you missed a day at school and a particular part of how to get to the solution was taught that day, you will have a hard time understanding how things are done a certain way. Or you could have a teacher who has no clue about how to explain the subject and most of the students are lost on how to come up with the correct way to solve a problem.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking So yes it is possible, I am horrible at math but excel in the arts. However they say people who are left handed are right brained, and the same with right handed. I am right handed so I think this is not entirely true. There is an excersise following this link to see which side of the brain you think on.

Answer 5

This is quite confusing I am currently a freshman in college; my major is psychology. This website says and I quote "Left-handed individuals are more likely to be dancers, artists and writers than right-handed people."But you know your right side of the brain controls the left, so this website says that the right side of the brain controls logic s of math and other factors. I may be misinterpreted it, and since she is a dancer she has to control her body is certain angles? The first thing when I think about a dancer is that they are creative, which is the left side of the brain not the right. This also may be this different kind of math that... side.http://www.livestrong.com/article/81868-parts-brain-influence-creativity/

Answer 6

Depends on the type of maths, the right side of your brain is generally for logical thinking and the left side is generally for creative thinking (it's a bit more intricate than that but you get my drift). Also you may be using the part of your brain that deals with memory to recall facts to help you answer the question...

Answer 7

The right deals with and thinks in terms of logic and rational thinking.
The left is more about making things up and being creative, with very little fact checking involved.

Answer 8
