MATHS IS HARMONY, ... SO IS PEACE

There will be PEACE if you subtract arms, add dialogue, divide conflicts and solve problems.
Maths is HARMONY, balance between equations, certainty of getting suitable results,...., so is Peace.

۞ Numbers which shouldn´t let us live in Peace:

A
842 million people in the world suffer from hunger or starvation.
W
35,000 people starve to death everyday.
F
100 million people died because of wars in the last century.
U
200 billion dollars were spent in 7 armed world conflicts in the 90s.
L
2,000 people die or are victims of antipersonnel mines every month.
!
There are 20 active wars everyday in the world.

۞ MATHS stand for:

M
for mankind
A
for acceptance
T
for tolerance
H
for hope
S
for solidarity

WAR = 0 PEACE = INVERSE OF WAR = 1/0 = ∞

MATHS DOESN´T LIE & PEACE IS DESTROYED BY LIES. LET´S LEARN FROM MATHS !

MEDIEVAL AGE

One of the students in our class, Celia, has asked me to set a link with this page so that we can learn more about the medieval time that you are studying in your History lessons.

I invite you to translate it into English. At least, a summary of what you have found in this site.
