List of Indian mathematicians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Indian mathematicians have made outstanding contributions to the development of mathematics as we know it today. Unfortunately, some concepts of Indian origin have not been given due acknowledgement in modern history, with some discoveries/inventions by Indian mathematicians now attributed to their western counterparts. Some historians have argued that much of modern mathematics was originally developed by Indian mathematicians. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_Indian_mathematicians   (318 words)

Learn more about Mathematician in the online encyclopedia. Mathematicians differ from philosophers in that the primary questions of mathematics are assumed (for the most part) to transcend the context of the human mind; the idea that "2+2=4 is a true statement" is assumed to exist without requiring a human mind to state the problem. Mathematicians differ from physical scientists such as physicists or engineers in that they do not typically perform experiments to confirm or deny their conclusions; and whereas every scientific theory is always assumed to be an approximation of truth, mathematical statements are an attempt at capturing truth. Mathematicians are typically interested in finding and describing patterns which may have originally arisen from problems of calculation, but have now been abstracted to become problems of their own. www.onlineencyclopedia.org /m/ma/mathematician.html   (798 words)

California Mathematicians Respond In response, over 100 mathematicians -- and the list is growing -- from a broad spectrum of California's colleges and universities have endorsed an open letter sharply disagreeing with the academic senate officials. Most mathematicians are not familiar with any of the proposed K-12 mathematics standards and they've certainly never been polled. Although not one of these three academic leaders is a mathematician, they implied in their statement that "the consensus position of the mathematical community" was in opposition to the Board approved mathematics standards. www.mathematicallycorrect.com /reed.htm   (1482 words)
