Assignment: Direction: Do as indicated. 1. Explain briefly the meaning of the statement “Neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences of the things of the world”. By the English Franciscan friar, philosopher, scientist Roger Bacon (1214-1294). The saying denotes how important mathematics is. That anyone who ignores the essence of studying it will be ignorant to all the knowledge this world can offer. Numbers are important and we associate ourselves with it every day. With that being said, let us not turn a blind eye to its importance and just appreciate the knowledge it brings to us.
