3 Mathematics, Science, and Technology 1. “Sciences provides mathematics with interesting problems to investigate, mathematics provides science with powerful tools to use in analyzing the data.” (p. 17) 2. Mathematics is the language of science.

4 Abstraction and Symbolic Representation Stages of mathematical development  Concrete  Semi-concrete  Semi-Abstract  Abstract

5 The Nature of Technology “We use technology to try to change the world to suit us better.” (p. 25) Technology Draws on Science and Contributes to it. Engineering Combines Scientific Inquiry and Practical Values The Essences of Engineering is Design and Constraint. All Technologies Involve Control. Technologies always have side effects!
