In this powerful interview, Dr. Anthony Bosman, PhD in Mathematics, reveals why the language of math woven into the fabric of the cosmos points unmistakably to intelligent design. From physics to probability, from equations to evidence, this conversation explores how mathematics itself testifies to the existence of God…

John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, shares his view on this very question in his delivery here at UCLA.

In this remarkable post, a Mathematician interprets data in a way that stuns others. It’s a long, but fascinating insight into the way Statistics can be applied during conflict to save lives.

Gauss, as a young boy, managed to unlock a mystery that stumped mathematicians for centuries. Click here to discover more:

In a study involving Japanese and American first graders, kids were given a difficult puzzle to solve while researchers measured how long they would try before giving up. On average, the American children lasted 9.47 minutes. The Japanese children lasted 13.93 minutes. That is a 47 per cent difference. Want to guess who scores higher on standardised maths tests? Success in any endeavour is a by-product of trying harder and trying longer…There are no shortcuts. It doesn’t matter whether it’s athletics or academics, music, or math. Study after study has shown that it takes about ten years or ten thousand hours to become great at anything. You need to work hard and work long. In the words of Malcolm Gladwell, “Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.”

Fromm CNN: Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand, scientists have created the first precise, three-dimensional map of a mammal’s brain. Check this out…

The map details the form, function and activity of 84,000 neurons, branched structures that fire off messages down a long arm, called an axon, and then through more than 500 million synapses, as well as 200,000 brain cells. The tiny piece of tissue contained 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring — nearly one and a half times the length of New York City’s Central Park.

The work is the culmination of almost a decade of research by 150 scientists at 22 institutions led by the Allen Institute for Brain Science, the Baylor College of Medicine and Princeton University.

“One byproduct of this whole project shows us just how incredibly beautiful the brain is,” said Dr. Forrest Collman, associate director of data and technology at the Allen Institute, in a video shared by the organization.

“Just looking at these neurons shows you their detail and scale in a way that makes you appreciate the brain with a sense of awe in the way that when you look up, you know, say, at a picture of a galaxy far, far away,” he added.

I love the simplicity of the solution to this problem – finding the area of all three squares:
