Math Calculus:

Firstly, Why is it important to learn the definition of the derivative/ find the derivative?

Secondly, when we will learn formulas that compute the derivative so much more easily?

 Then answer the following questions:

Firstly,  How does God shape our individual identity when we respond to His call?

Secondly,  What do you imagine your own life would be like if you respond to God’s call?

ground your identity in Him?

Thirdly,  Why did William Wilberforce want to leave Parliament?

In addition, Do you think he coold have accomplish the “two great objects” of God’s calling if he had enter the ministry?

Moreover, Why or why not?

Further,  Explain the difference between primary and secondary callings.

Additionally, What are some of the pitfalls of the “Catholic distortion” of calling—“elevating the spiritual at the expense of the secolar”?

Lastly,  Explain the distinction between calling and vocation.

Finally, Why does a calling without a Caller become nothing more than work?

Math and Developing Christian Mind

Christianity has been a major influence on the mathematical sciences, particularly in the 17th and 18th Centuries.

There is a widespread belief that Christianity and science, particularly mathematical science, were on opposing sides through this period.

However, this oversimplifies the situation to such an extent that it gives a quite false impression

For example four men who perhaps did as much as any to revolutionise the mathematical sciences in the 16th and 17th Centuries, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton, were all deeply religious Christians who in many ways saw their scientific work as a religious undertaking.

In this article we look at theories of the structure of the universe and how religion react to major advances in the mathematical sciences on this issue.

In order to understand the subtleties of the interaction between Christianity and the mathematical sciences through the 16th and 17th Centuries we need to go back to the Greek philosophers long before the rise of the Christian church.

A good starting point is to look briefly at Pythagoras, for he develop a world-view in which mathematics and religion were completely linked.

Pythagoras saw the beauty in the theory of numbers and he saw this mathematical beauty translate into musical beauty.

From there he develop a view of the world based on numbers and shapes.

He believe that the Earth was a sphere, not for any experimental reason, but simply because he believe that the sphere was the most perfect shape, so the Earth had to be a sphere.

He also believe that the Earth was not at the centre of the universe but that the Earth move.

Russell notes not only the impact of Pythagoras on science but also on Christian thinking [11]:-
