... an infinite series. The finite series was recorded in the standard Greek arithmetic notation. Considering the infinite and finite series as one data set, Archimedes stated a rational number problem by a 1/4 geometric infinite series, and calculated a finite series in the standard Greek notation. ----------------------------------------- Bhaskara: His work, the Siddhanta Shiromani, is an astronomical treatise and contains many theories not found in earlier works ... for the theory of the contiguity of curves (1686), worked out, together with Huygens, the theory of the envelopes of a fami...

... of more abstract concepts quite apart from building practicing skills and problem solving. It is usually combined with the guided discovery approach. Example A teacher gives out cardboard cut out of geometric concepts and let students make pattern with shapes. Activity and experimentation leads to thinking and communication that then leads to acquisation of skills and reinforcement. This approach is supported by ... questions defining the problem relate closely to some phenomenon in the real world and which may be solved by application of certain mathematical concepts and results. Examp...
