'A MATHEMATICAL ' DAWN SUNDAY FEB. 1, 2009'



'A MATHEMATICAL ' DAWN SUNDAY FEB. 1, 2009'

Referring discourse of Zarina Patel under explicit caption 'A
Mathematical Problem' in the Sunday Dawn of Feb. 1, 2009, that was
comprehended with interest by this Action Research Forum.

The forum is of the opinion intuitively,

It is appreciative that a news paper like DAWN has accommodated a
peculiar article for public readers, but unfortunately the Dawn is
mostly news events concentric where the truth/ false are temporal
unlike scientific discrete reasoning, neither they have authentic
expertise to that effect (just rider), so undermine their editor audit
reputation.

First of all, the caption in question appears to be crafting
impression to momentous readers, on typical problems relating to
Mathematics and kids learning (as an intrinsic odd skill) for
collateral economic competitiveness.

Secondly, the article is rigorously intermixed in context of pertinent
techno words relating to Mathematics; say as; arithmetic, numbers,
mathematics, and other forms (aren't context free) and are diverse
too, unless otherwise for a leman.  Nevertheless, other proficiency
also has bearing similar anxiety and challenges transcribing learning,
at their classical level (beyond algebraic).

The author would not be surprised to recognize that Greeks school
initially posted motto 'those who do not believe in Mathematics should
not enter this school', but their disciples amended “motto” and
substituted the word logic instead of Mathematics as a genes of
reasoning where Mathematics is an occurrence.

Later the faith schools challenged that inherited genetic human
talents, as primitive society possessiveness. Conventionally in
subcontinent it was a well-accepted counsel that mathematics is for
business caste of Hindus. Certain faith granted promoted ignorance to
Mathematics, while other faiths intrinsically harnessed the skills. It
is worth mentioning here there was a prominent journal in subcontinent
'SANKHIA' publishing the basic research on numbers for last 200 years.

Thus, tracking back the faith harnessed loss of this talent one can
look at Al-Ghazali recommendations some of these are indicated in the
attachments (for ready reference).

Analogical, before Columbus many voyages discovered route of American
continent but they could not acquire vision to commercialize the gains
what Europeans did in colonization form thematically for strengthening
their resources and military might.

Further, the article concentrates number counting algebraic talents,
since the skill is deliberately made out of mind so their learning
capabilities, say, 'what, when and how' an engine of applications of
learning. By illustration, "a starving boy tipped to learn numbers by
associating with gifting bread pieces counting how many, it worked to
some extent". But the same was not be working in case of monkey – the
'Monkey Banana' problem was figured out for creativity limitations.

Finally, the perception of numbers at kids’ level is diversely
different than analytic level; where cardinal and ordinal numbers have
tremendous effect, both are written same way but differ in semantics.
More so, there was time counting started at ONE, later ZERO when
wider prospects evolved. At the kids level the difficulty of applying
number algebra may be resolved by calculator’s aid but when to apply
‘what’ algebra is the learning engine that needs to be mastered,
otherwise it would be disastrous and kids would turn their face with
hate and fear.

Often, numbers are used in semantic perceptions, like 'ZERO + ZERO is
always ZERO' what political leader Noon said.

In Politburo elections Bulganin’s remarks '1 & 1 is eleven'. Often used '1 & 1 is nullified' in relationship terms, 'the table of 9 has all nines', and many more.

Number forms modulus groups, magic squares, calculative magic games and many more curiosity of learners, now days Google Engine is a potential source to know what else people know about numbers.

Suggestion- We wonder, looking at indexing of discourse premises why not more fit caption of the article be reframed.
