MATH EDUCATION TIMELINE

  • INVENTION OF THE CALCULATOR

    INVENTION OF THE CALCULATOR
    The calculator was invented in 1642. The invention of the calculator impacted math education in terms of reducing the margin of error. Therefore, it helps reach results in a more accurate and faster way. In addition, using a calculator helps students save time while making calculations.
  • MATRICES AND DETERMINANTS

    MATRICES AND DETERMINANTS
    Numbers in a matrix can symbolize data and can also represent mathematical equations. While using determinants, it helps students define the unique solution of equations. Therefore, students can have a chance to make calculations in an easier way. Not only students but also engineers, and architects can use linear algebra to handle their job easily.
  • THE PI NUMBER

    THE PI NUMBER
    Pi is defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Instead of long processes of calculating the circumference, volume, and area of circular objects and only reaching the approximate value, a precise value was reached by using the exact pi number. Finding the volumes and areas of circular objects in simple mathematics education became entirely possible thanks to the number pi. Finding these values in circular objects has become simpler for students.
