*Teachers making an extra buck from the farming business.*Folks, Forget Physics, Quantum or Relativistic, etc..... we are at the threshold of the next explosion of Mathematics; and Botany is the setting. It is going to be like nothing humanity has ever seen.
Modern Algebra (better to call it *Algebraic Structures*) is going to M athematize Biology/Botany like humanity has never seen. Look at the Ugandan lady Teacher below. In front of her is a cassava leaf; five petals !! (pentagonal structure). In the struggle for survival Nature bestows the *most efficient Geometry in the universe to this cassava*; Not only the Cassava leaf but look at the *palm of your hands*, the one that puts food into your mouth, all your life. The palm must be endowed with the most efficient Geometry in the universe to *optimize **your struggle for survival.* Again there are five rows of seeds inside the papayi fruit. Papayi has to use the best Geometry in the universe *to birth her babies, the seeds.*The Cotton, say in Northern Uganda, *the pod explodes into five fluffs of cotton.* Why again this five, this *pentagonal structure*, What makes it Nature's preferred Geometrical structure?What does Mathematics tell us about all other alternative structures; and how many of these alternatives are possible?Folks, This beautiful Ugandan teacher shown below uses Scientific methods, insemination etc.... She needs a Maths Teacher. The Mathematics Class or Lab (the garden) is right there in front of her !! ie. the Maize leaves are meant to grow at an angle of 135 to the leaf immediately below. That is to maximize survival. There is so much maths in the photo of this garden one can go on and on with the description !! So Fellow Ugandans *let us treble the content of our Maths curriculum, P6 to S6.* We need it for our Agricuture, IT , Oil fields etc...... For how long are we going to cry out for our country to double or treble our Maths curriculum, Primary6 to Senior6.Why Dr Besigye talking about riots as the solution instead of telling us of the FDC plans for the next 100 years of the country's Biolgy Education. Nobody in Uganda seems to be addressing the important issue of Biology Education. Ugandans rejected walk to work. They are waiting for policy proposals on this Biology and Maths. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Share Bookmark Print <http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Farming/Teachers-making-an-extra-buck-from-the-farming-business/-/689860/2510742/-/view/printVersion/-/gka3n4z/-/index.html> Rating [image: Namayanja shows the Maize garden]
