WOK of Maths

In class, we were given an Area of Knowledge, for which were asked to list the Ways of Knowing in order of importance.

AoK: Mathematics

1. Language
The most important because the basis of maths had to be communicated through language for us to understand it in the first place. Maths can also be described as a language in itself.

2. Reason
Although maths is argued to be an idea created by humans, it is reasonable. Everything can be justified with reason.

3. Memory
The basis of maths, such as numbers, adding, subtracting, etc, are never forgotten, because they are, again, the core of every else. They are used in many forms throughout maths topics. This requires memory.

4. Intuition
What you do does eventually become natural.

5. Imagination
Sometimes maths requires you to think, and manipulate equations in different ways which requires imagination to some extent.

6. Faith
You have faith that you're going to pass.

7. Emotion
If you pass, you smile.
If you fail, you cry.
