In previous TOK lessons, we have been concentrating on the idea of Mathematics and how it is applied to many theories and things that are around us in the modern world. In fact, George, Maddy, Will and I created a video along with 3 others in the class.
The link posted below shows the 5 minute movie of 'Mathematics for Dummies'. This movie explores the world through patterns, deductive prove, asthetics and Incompleteness theorems. All of these concepts are rather confusing, however, we researched these ideas together and discussed them to get maximum meaning.
However, I myself have an opinion of maths that is it just boring and cannot be applied to the beauty of the world. I struggled with this idea that maths contributed to the nature of the planet, yet after researching the ideas present in our video, I have a broader sense of the idea of Mathematics.
Maths to me is one of the most boring subjects, however, now I have a kinder outlook on this subject which has shaped the World to its beautiful state that it is today.
