Cartesian mathematicism: The long concatenations of simple and easy reasoning which geometricians use inachieving their most difficult demonstrations gave me occasion to imagine that all matters which may enterthe human mind were interrelated in the same fashion.René Descartes Welcome to Math1089 – Mathematics for All! I’m genuinely grateful that you’ve taken time from your busy schedule to…

Strange as it may sound, the power of mathematics rests on its evasion of all unnecessary thought and on itswonderful saving of mental operations.Ernst Mach Welcome to Math1089 – Mathematics for All! I’m genuinely grateful that you’ve taken time from your busy schedule to stop by. This space is all about celebrating the elegance and fascination of mathematics. While math is indeed a beautiful…

At the age of eleven, I began Euclid, with my brother as my tutor. This was one of the great events of my life, as dazzling as first love. I had not imagined there was anything so delicious in the world. From that moment until I was thirty-eight, mathematics was my chief interest and my chief source of happiness.Bertrand Russell Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. As 2024 bids…

Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.Richard Courant Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. 2024 is about to pass, and 2025 is coming. This is the moment to leave the old and…

If you come from mathematics, as I do, you realize that there are many problems, even classical problems, which cannot be solved by computation alone. Roger Penrose Welcome to Math1089 – Mathematics for All! Thank you for visiting Math1089! I truly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to explore this space dedicated to the beauty and wonder of mathematics. Math is a beautiful…

Without mathematics, there’s nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers. Shakuntala Devi Welcome to Math1089 – Mathematics for All! Thank you for visiting Math1089! I truly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to explore this space dedicated to the beauty and wonder of mathematics. Math is a beautiful subject, but I understand it’s…

Without mathematics, there’s nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers. Shakuntala Devi Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. There are many numbers known to us that are significant from both a mathematical and cultural perspective. One such number is 786. In this post, let’s explore the mathematical beauty of the number 786.…

The nature of mathematics itself is in a certain sense eternal, and that’s why it’s so closely connected to the notion of time and age. David Berlinski Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. Imagine a scenario where you want to guess someone’s age, but instead of asking directly, you use a clever mathematical trick. This trick will allow you to calculate their age based on their…

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. Bertrand Russell Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. Welcome to a captivating journey through the realm of mathematics! Prepare to be amazed as we unveil 40 Mathematical Marvels that will challenge your perceptions, spark your curiosity, and leave you…

Fact 1 The root of the term mathematics is in the Greek word Mathema (μάθημα), which was used quite generally in early writings to indicate any subject of instruction or study. Fact 2 A baker’s dozen is a group of 13. Fact 3 Johann Rahn introduced the division symbol, known as the obelus, in 1659. This symbol took the form of a horizontal line with a dot above and below it (÷) and was…

The birth of a True Equilateral Triangle from Isosceles parents is the subject of rejoicing in our country from many furlongs around.Edwin Abbott Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. There exist several types of triangles, each characterized by three angles. While the specific angles may vary, there is a consistent relationship among them. This is encapsulated in the Angle Sum…

In mathematical philosophy, formalism is the position that regards mathematics as the study of formal deductive systems. Mathematical truth is simply provability in the system, and there is and can be no ultimate meaning to mathematics other than the operation of naked symbols according to fixed rules.Philip J. Davis & Reuben Hersh Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. Numbers are…

Mathematics is on the artistic side a creation of new rhythms, orders, designs, harmonies, and on theknowledge side, is a systematic study of various rhythms, orders, designs and harmonies.William L. Schaaf Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. 2023 is about to pass, and 2024 is coming. This is the moment to leave the old and welcome the new. Let’s hope that 2024 will add the…

The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful. Henri Poincare A binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system, using only two symbols: 0 (zero) and 1 (one). The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2, and each digit is referred to as a…

There are some mysteries that the human mind will never penetrate. To convince ourselves we have only to cast a glance at tables of primes and we should perceive that there reigns neither order nor rule.Leonhard Euler Welcome to the blog Math1089 – Mathematics for All. I’m glad you came by. I wanted to let you know I appreciate your spending time here on the blog very much. I do appreciate your…

Algebra serves as a remarkable tool for determining the unknown age of an individual through a series of mathematical operations. This intriguing process unfolds like magic, enabling anyone to deduce their age without disclosing the information to others. By engaging in specific algebraic calculations, participants in this game can arrive at a final result. With this conclusive value in hand, I,…

One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and anintelligence of their own, that they are wiser than we are, wiser even than their discoverers, that we get moreout of them than was originally put into them.Heinrich Hertz Algebra, often perceived as a daunting challenge, possesses incredible potential to solve complex real-world problems. In this…
