The advancing of Maths

Nowadays, maths are used through the world as a essential tool in many fields, such as natural sciences, engineering, medicine and the sociel science, and even disciplines that apparently are not linked with it, for example the music.
Mathematical knowledge of the modern world is moving faster than ever. Some theories that were completely different, now come together to form complete and abstract theories. Although most major issues have been resolved, others like Riemann hypothesis remain unresolved.
At the same time, it still growing new problems. It seems even the most abstract maths, are finding new applications.

What is calculus and why do we study it?

Calculus is the study of how things change. It provides a framework for modeling systems in which there is a change, and a way to deduce predictions of such models.

But why calculus is so complicated? It they require concentration and reasoning, therefore we must teach with patience, clarity, dynamics without isolate the contents of children's everyday life. But the big problem of this matter is that small often stereotyped from small child as "good" or "bad" at calculus. And the "bad" are left with that taste bitter, rejecting them forever. According to her, the solution is to help children develop logical thinking in preschool stage, but also teach foundations when we are child.

Sometimes we tend to wondering why we have to study calculus, for example to be an engineer, architects or even militaries...if at the time to work, we don't have to solve integrals and so on...why?
Well, calculus, is in all. Sciences often rely on mathematics and calculus  to articulate their findings and predictions. Colleges and universities should give an extra focus in this aspect, to involve people to learn calculus.

About myself

Hi everyone! I'm Iván Lage and I am a student of aerospace engineering in the Universidad Europea de Madrid.
I create this blog to tell you what we do in the class of Calculus I. For it, I will write several post per week...I expect you enjoy it!
