Q

ideas in mathematics need to flow in an order that makes sense.It means that each step can be derived logically from the preceding steps.

A

Logical Sequence

19
Q

a particular mathematical set will allow mathematicians to study the set further and find its relationship with other objects.

20
Q

How close a measured value is to the actual (true_ value. It is the degree to which a given quantity is correct and free from error

21
Q

Is how close the measured valued to each other

22
Q

NATURE OF MATHEMATICS
1. A science of measures 2. An Intellectual game 3. The art of drawing conclusions 4. A tool subject 5. An intuitive Method 6. A system of logical procedure
27
it is an aactivity that involves interaction with a concrete system with the aim of representing aspects of that system in abstract terms of " concrete" implies real
A science of measures
28
mathematics requires visual imagery. Games and mathematics both require a strong dose of patience , restraint and concentration.
Intellectual game
29
Reasoning is a way to use mathematical knowledge and to generate and solidify new mathematical ideas.
The art of drawing conclusions
30
mathematics undeniably a highly powerful intrument of investigation. It is applied in the field of engineering, life sciences, industry and business
A tool Subject
31
Problem solving is a skill which can enhance our logical reasoning,
A system of logical procedure
32
it is requires the use of intuition, the ability to see what is reasonable or not and the ability to put all these together
An intuitive Method
