Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Galileo

The teaching and learning of mathematics have always been a major concern in education. The National Policy of Education (1986) lays down the importance of "mathematics" as a vehicle for developing creativity.

  • The teacher should use effective teaching methods of mathematics so that individualized discovery-oriented (or problem-solving) learning could be fostered.

Galileo
  • He was an Italian professor of mathematics.
  • He believed that we can not understand the universe until and unless we become familiar with the characters in which it is written. 
  • He believed that the universe is written in mathematical language and the alphabets are circle, triangle, rectangle, and other geometrical figures.
  • He quoted "Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe".
Plato
  • He was a Greek philosopher and mathematician.
  • He believed that the exact knowledge can be acquired by proper reasoning that is through mathematics.
  • He encouraged and inspired people to study mathematics.
Einstein
  • He was a German-born physicist. 
  • He was well-known for his explanation of the photoelectric effect for which he also won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.

 

Hence, ‘‘Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe.’’ is quoted by Galileo.
