Answer to Question #190120 in Algebra for Tidimalo

Question

Explain the meaningful learning of mathematics according to the network theory.

Answer 1

Mathematics is a complex structure of concepts and links related to topics and situations. Complex systems can be viewed as nodes in a network and their interactions can be termed as links among nodes.

Understanding the principles that describe network structure and evolution is vital in explaining the behavior of complex systems.

Mathematical application of the network theory includes multiplicative conceptual field which involves proportion related situations, multiplication and division.

Therefore there is need to analyze mathematical idea before introducing it to students because these concepts do not develop in isolation but through relationships to other ideas.
