The Horizon of Space

            Math in a nutshell is about logic and logic requires proof and proving something that isn’t there is hard. Mathematicians pondered on how to explain or prove something outside the realm of what is known like the square-root of negative 1. The number line spans from negative infinity to positive infinity and with that constraint they invented a new number line filled with imaginary numbers.

            Imaginary numbers take on a new reality for numbers. We can now answer mathematical problems with relative ease thanks to these numbers.

Math nowadays also teaches us calculus, geometry and algebra. Math prowess running in the family might be an idea of society but it is true for the Bernoullis and the Eulers. These families are the examples of a mathematical family. Yet one person stands aver them as a prince and it is Carl Friedrich Gauss. He founded a three dimensional figure that has seventeen sides and critiquing Euclid’s geometry.

            The horizon of mathematics in the field of space like geometry is going places and shining light on the unknown.
