Mathematical culture refers to the mutual blending of mathematics with people's daily life and cultural activities, and it is the combination of mathematics and humanistic education. In modern society, mathematics has penetrated into all walks of life, which has had a great impact on people's daily life, cultural activities and other aspects.
Traditionally, mathematics is regarded as a "rare" subject, which is between science and liberal arts. It has neither the rich perceptual image of language discipline nor the direct proof of experimental science. However, when we deeply understand the essence and connotation of mathematics, we will find that mathematics is actually a subject full of cultural connotation.
First of all, mathematics is the crystallization of human wisdom. From ancient Greece to China in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, from Galois Lu Hongye to Gauss, from Turing to Shannon, many great mathematicians in history are representatives of human wisdom. After long-term thinking and practice, they creatively put forward a series of important mathematical theories and methods, which promoted the development of the whole society and culture.
Secondly, mathematics is the embodiment of abstract thinking mode. Mathematics is a subject based on symbolic language, which focuses on description with tools such as symbols, formulas and numbers. Therefore, mathematics does not depend on specific substances or events, but on the abstract description of these things, which requires us to have strong abstract thinking ability to understand and apply mathematical knowledge.
Third, mathematics is closely related to other disciplines. From natural science to social science, from economics to art, literature and other cultural fields, mathematics is inseparable. For example, in physics, optics and electromagnetism have a large number of mathematical applications; In economics and finance, mathematical analysis methods such as calculus and statistics have become indispensable tools for subject research.
Finally, the concrete forms of mathematical culture are very diverse. Mathematical museums, mathematical festivals, mathematical competitions, mathematical games, books, sculptures and even music are all important components of mathematical culture. Through these forms, we can better enjoy the beauty of mathematics and make mathematics an important element in our daily life.
In a word, mathematical culture is a new cultural form, which is not only the combination of mathematical knowledge and humanistic education, but also a cultural phenomenon that attracts worldwide attention. Mathematical culture promotes human wisdom, abstract thinking and practical application through accompanying shouts.
