    MATHEMATICS AND MODERN CIVILIZATION


    Mathematics is the queen of natural knowledge. (K.F.Gauss) That is true.
    Maths supplies a language, methods and conclusions for science. It enables
    scientists to predict result, furnishes science with ideas to describe phenomena and
    prepares the minds of scientists for new ways of thinking.
    It would be quite wrong to think that maths had been giving so much to the
    sciences and receiving nothing in return. Physical objects and observed facts had
    often served as a source of the elements and postulates of maths. Actually, the
    fundamental concepts of many branches of maths are ones that had been
    suggested by physical experiences.
    Scientific theories have frequently suggested directions for pursuing maths
    investigations, thus furnishing a starting point for maths discoveries. For example,
    Copernican astronomy had suggested many new problems involving the effects of
    gravitational attraction between heavenly bodies in motion. These problems had
    been developing the further activities of many scientists in the field of differential
    equations.

    FERMATS LAST THEOREM


    Pierre de Fermat was born in Toulouse in 1601 and died in 1665. Today we
    think of Fermat as a number theorist, in fact as perhaps the most famous number
    theorist who ever lived.
    The history of Pythagorean triples goes back to 1600 B.C, but it was not until
    the seventeenth century A.D that mathematicians seriously attacked, in general
    terms, the problem of finding positive integer solutions to the equation x y z n n n +
    = . Many mathematicians conjectured that there are no positive integer solutions to

    this equation if n is greater than 2. Fermats now famous conjecture was inscribed in
    the margin of his copy of the Latin translation of Diophantuss Arithmetica. The note
    read: To divide a cube into two cubes, a fourth
    power or in general any power whatever into two powers of the same denomination
    above the second is impossible and I have assuredly found an admirable proof of
    this,
    but the margin is too narrow to contain it.

    SOMETHING ABOUT MATHEMATICAL SENTENCES


    A mathematical sentence containing an equal sign is an equation. The two
    parts of
    an equation are called its members. A mathematical sentence that is either true or
    false
    but not both is called a closed sentence. To decide whether a closed sentence
    containing
    an equal sign is true or false, we check to see that both elements, or members of
    the
    sentence name the same number. To decide whether a closed sentence containing
    an
    sign is true or false, we check to see that both elements do not name the same
    number.
    The relation of equality between two numbers satisfies the following basic
    axioms
    for the numbers a, b and c.
    Reflexive: a = a.
    Symmetric: If a = b then b = a.
    Transitive: If a = b and b = c then a = c.
    While the symbol = in an arithmetic sentence means is equal to, another
    symbol
    , means is not equal to. When an = sign is replaced by sign, the opposite
    meaning is
    implied. (Thus 8 = 11 3 is read eight is equal to eleven minus three while 9 + 6
    13 is
    read nine plus six is not equal to thirteen.)
    The important feature about a sentence involving numerals is that it is either
    true
    or false, but not both. There is nothing incorrect about writing a false sentence, in
    fact in

    some mathematical proofs it is essential that you write a false sentence.
