Technology and Mathematics

Abstract: In spite of their practical importance, the connections between technology and mathematics have not received much scholarly attention. This article begins by outlining how the technology-mathematics relationship has developed, from the use of simple aide-mémoires for counting and arithmetic, via the use of mathematics in weaving, building and other trades, and the introduction of calculus to solve technological problems, to the modern use of computers to solve both technological and mathematical problems.

“…Arithmetic operation is one of the bases of computing. , Therefore, it is very meaningful to implement basic arithmetic functions by using artificial synapses for the development of neural computing networks. , We found that the EPSC showed an excellent linearity with the light pulse number in a range of 20 (Figure S8a). The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.998 obtained from the linear fitting of the data (Figure S8b), proving that the device has the ability of establishing a one-to-one relationship between a specific number e in the range from 1 to 20 and EPSC e triggered by e light pulses (Figure a).…”

“…The history of humanity also shows its connections to technology and mathematical thinking from the: a) use of simple aide-memoires for counting and arithmetic in weaving, b) constructions of buildings, c) elaboration of trade routes, d) introduction of calculus to solve technological problems faced by societies; and e) use of computers to solve both technological and mathematical problems (BUCHANAN, 2019;HANSSON, 2019).…”

“…For example, one of the earliest uses of mathematics was involved in the crafts of weaving and drum construction. In this context, advanced hand-weaving traditions have arisen in all parts of the world, as demonstrated by the complex weaving techniques developed by members of many cultures, often geometrical patterns with intricate symmetries (HANSSON, 2019). These technological resources were informed by patterns from the past that transformed into current roles of advanced technologies that promoted the development of mathematical thinking and education (PEA, 1986).…”

“…This axiomatization shows that the development of new technology is most likely related to the availability of data, human capability, as well as resources attached to the modeling process and the willingness of researchers [13] to develop the new technology. It is also important to mention that many countries are increasing their efforts in developing their own new technology and mathematical modeling research output is crucial in producing new technology [14]. Hence, obtaining scientific support in designing the optimal path of mathematical modeling that impacts new technology development programs is of paramount importance under the certain limit of modeling categorization.…”
