Is it true that in mathematics, there are more solutions than questions?

Q. I have come across this statement elsewhere but I'm not so sure if I have just misunderstood it.

But is it possible that mathematical solutions can be more than mathematical questions?

Please support you answer. Thanks!
Unique and correct solutions for each particular problem is meant here - not incorrect solutions...

A. well thats a good question
but to be honest, u can never tell which are most and least! evey day there are new generaations of solutions to open questions the same like here in YA
at the same time there r questions opened witout answers! really there r mathematical question still remain without any answer! each time a question in resolved, other questions accure..
its like that.


I want to know more about engineering mathematics ?
Q. I'm studying at Open University.My senior told me that engineering math are very difficult. Is it true?

A. Yes and no. In any engineering discipline math is critical, and you need a good number of courses, but if you pay attention in class, ask questions when you're confused, and do your homework, it isn't that much harder than any other technical class.

Sometimes new concepts can throw you. When you first start learning algebra, having letters stand in for numbers was a new concept. Once you "got it", the course became no harder than learning addition and subtraction. The same is true for calculus, matrix algebra, differential equations, and the other fun things they teach in an engineering curriculum.


Can somebody give me some important information on Rene Descartes that I should be sure to include in a speech?
Q. I doubt this question will be answered but if you do answer it you will probably get best answer because who else is going to answer this qustion.

A. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) asked himself these questions: What can I know? Is there anything one can be sure of for certain?
He found the answers to some of his questions in Mathematics.
Mathematical demonstrations began from a minimal number of premises of the utmost simplicity, so basic and obvious it was impossible to doubt them, like for example, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
By following deductive reasoning, one step at a time, each step irrefutable and usually very simple, one began to reach conclusions
that were not at all simple and not at all obvious, whole worlds of unanticipated discoveries started opening up, all of them of great practical usefulness and all of them reliably true.


Are there many job opportunities for Statistics majors?
Q. I'm trying to come up with majors that relate to math and open up lots of opportunities. Statistics, computer science, and accounting come to mind. I know that money shouldn't be the main factor in the decision, but let's keep it real, it is a priority for me. I need to major in something that will lead to a good paying job and utilizes my math skills. I hear that Accounting and computer science degrees are in demand, which is something I'd like to take advantage of, so they are also my other choices.

A. People with real skills in math and science write their own ticket and pave their own road. How can I answer this question without getting preachy . . . hhhmmmm. There are plenty of jobs out there in any of the fields you listed for people with a mastery of mathematics. Not just those but several others as well. Business analysts rely on statistical analysis to point them in the right direction. Any of the jobs in the engineering fields are open to people with good analytical mathematical background. Money is just part of the picture when you go for the interview. The best payed job you hate going to in the morning won't be worth it. The job you love that causes you to live in a crappy little apartment and budget your food money will not make you feel so good either. Keep studying and thinking outside the box. Learn how to market your skills and volunteer whenever you can. My feeling is that you are headed in the right direction. The fact that you are asking this question is a good indication of that.
