Time to tackle Mathematics:
1. POST - Is Mathematics discovered or invented? Argue your point of view.
2. POST - To what extent is knowledge gained in Mathematics similar and/or different to knowledge gained in History?
1.Post
Mathematics in not invented it is discovered. Planet earth and Nature only have an amount of things to give us. Those things are completely predeterminated and we cant change them. We think we can invent things but that’s not true. W only discover a new way to use what we already have at hand.

The knowledge gain in Math is completely different that the one we gain from History. This is beacouse Math is based on material that cannot be alter by humans, no matter how many people look at an equation, no matter how they try to change that equation, it will be imposible for them to alter it. At the end the rules for math will prove them wrong. On the other hand from history we learn what the people in power wants us to learn, they change the facts for their convinience. and there is no one that can prove then wrong becuase there is no base no rules for history.

Task 3: History
In my opinion this view is the colsest to reality than the other view. This is beacuse we, humans, write our history. The winner will write the events of the past as they see fit to make them look better for the future generations. Not only the winner will glorifie himself and his nations, but he will downgrade the ones that lost. They will make the loser look like the ones that are evil, and needed to be overpowered. In addition we can only percive certain amount of information in our heads, so if 10 people see the same event we will have 10 differents stories, just to beging with, later they will introduce their point of view and exagerate more things. There for at the end we will have so many different stories and they might be based on true facts, but they have so much S#$% added by us that they end up just a bunch of unrelaible informations. Therefore we humans, more prescisely Historians have the power to alter past and make us beleife what they want us to. The other point of view said that history cannot be alter or tamper with, for the reason I have mention before I don’t agree with this.
