Inaccurate knowledge of others will lead to inappropriate actions and individuals will fail to secure their proper place in society. Application of Multiple Intelligences Theory 35 APPLICATION OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES THEORY TO MATHEMATICAL MODELLING In a chapter containing a critique of his theory, Gardner says this: “In its strong form, multiple intelligence theory posits a small set of human intellectual potentials, perhaps as few as seven in number, of which all individuals are capable by virtue of their membership of the human species.

The concept of level curve There is a very rich semiotic chain in the way students tried to make sense of the concept of level curve.
