Mathematics helps predict the behavior of nature and

phenomena in the world.

Mathematics is not just about numbers. It made people realized that

mathematics is such more than we expected. And it is evidently shown in or
nature through their patterns, sequence, behavior and many more. As years
have passed, there are lots of esoteric discoveries proposed by different
scientist and mathematicians. But not all of them were given enough evidence
to be considered true. But through observation, experimentation, and trial and
errors, some discoveries were considered as something authentic and possible.
This is where mathematics comes in. Through math, they can provide
equations so that they could prove that their discoveries and observations are
not accidental. And somehow, these findings had helped in predicting the
behavior of nature and phenomena in the world.

By observing in the modern world, it is clear to the sight and mind that
mathematics can be a great help in the modern prediction of behavior of the
nature and the phenomena in the world. But it does not specifically mean that
mathematics is the only core factor in providing predictions. So the emphasis
to this statement is that mathematics helps predict. Help is the key. In having
predictions, Science is the one who takes role and do the predictions but what
does Math do? It is what helps the predictions be more reliable and possible
through right and accurate calculations specifically through the process of
observing and experimenting. Mathematics helps because all of the knowledge
that was gained allows us to describe relations and compute values on events
and help science in doing what it wants to prove. Mathematics is really
associated with science. And it is proven in Newton’s discoveries on the
acceleration of an object and also on the discovery of the new branch of
Mathematics which is Calculus. The of story of calculus bring out of the two
main things that mathematics is for: providing tools that let scientist calculate
what nature is doing, and providing new questions for mathematicians to sort
out to their own satisfaction. Through Calculus we can create mathematical
models to come up with a possible solution and that is another way how
Mathematics helps predicting. It is through the process they call as the
Mathematical Modeling. Using Mathematical tools, we develop models which
accord to what we can measure and observe in the real world. And through the
model that works well, we can start predicting how the nature behaves and
start to distinguish those behavior or phenomena that occur without any
relation to others. So in Mathematics, they don’t just observe and describe
every details that people noticed, it is also about determining which one
exhibits relationships to others an which one integrate a disparate subject.
Mathematics explains how some happenings in the nature reoccur. Like the
sunset, mathematics explains different factors such as where it went, and why
it returned. That is because it is easier to explain this using number.
Additionally, through the formulas and calculations, we can easily conclude if
the events in the nature happen together or if they oppose one another by
determining the way of using numbers and different operations.

By experimentation, we can detect chaos patterns in the world. Chaos

patterns is a kind of apparent randomness whose origins are entirely
deterministic. Chaos patterns are mathematical phenomenon. So this implies
that in order to predict the future we should understand its starting
conditions. Through chaotic system, you can get different predictions from
different probabilities acquired from the randomness patterns. Chaotic gives a
wider view in predicting not just effects but also the cause. Most of us view
simple causes will probably have simple effects but through chaos there are
always lots of probability that could happen in every simple causes.

In observation, experimentation and trial and error, Mathematics is

present. And through these methods, discoveries, proofs, and predictions are
acquired. It begins with observing the natural phenomena and then discovering
the mathematical rules, patterns or concepts that could describe their motion,
behavior, and relationship. After developing mathematical rules, more
observations are done to try if these mathematical rules can be applied to other
parts of nature. Some of this mathematical rules are the oscillation and the
chaos concept which are really helpful in coming up with predictions in
behavior of the nature and phenomena in the world. Oscillation is in where we
can find repetitive patterns in the movements and behavior of nature while
chaos concept is where starting conditions are considered incoming up
prediction. It pointed that there are lots of probabilities in what may be the
cause and effect of each phenomenon so it is important to consider the
randomness of the results. In the modern world, inventors have developed a
way to use mathematics in producing models that could help us forecast
weathers and in doing cloud seeding. All of the things mentioned are some of
the ways to prove that mathematics is much helpful in our lives than people
expected it to be. Most people grew up asking the purpose of this complicated
calculations in their lives. Here is one of the answer. It is because Mathematics
helps in predicting behavior of nature and the phenomena in the world.
