Each of the so-called new technologies is based upon mathematics: The first computer was built as a part of the Manhattan Project to calculate models of the atomic bomb. The human genome project uses computers very often to find out the structure of the genome. And computers are mathematical machines, materialised mathematics. Social organisations, companies, and not least governments use computers to process information. A precondition for this is to formalise the social or economical structure which “produces” the information. This formalisation is a type of mathematisation, too. The social and economical models of organisations or companies are a part of the process of mathematising the world. Last, but not least, mathematics is a part of everyday life and work. People handle money, buy things, do handywork at home (measure areas to paint, and so on). All together, mathematics is not only the basis for technology, econ | | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | | 关键词 | curriculum; education; mathematics; mathematics education; vocational education | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/0-306-47683-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4020-0669-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-306-47683-9Series ISSN 0924-4921 Series E-ISSN 2214-983X | | issn_series | 0924-4921 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2002 |
