INTRODUCTION

Mathematics is a vital subject that involves a range of methods to solve a

variety of problems in our daily life. Mathematics, as opposed to acquiring
conceptions and theories, comes with a solid mathematical foundation. Mathematics
can be employed in three different fields such as computer science, social science,
and natural science. We can see that these three categories have a variety of affects
and contributions that are important in everyday life. As a result, I'd like to
concentrate on two of these domains to show how mathematics can be applied in
them.

MATHEMATICS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

In computer science, a Boolean is a value that is either true or false, with

logical operations. For everyone’s information, George Boole invented a new branch
of algebra called Boolean Algebra, in which the value of true is 1 and the value of
false is 0. There are three fundamental logical operations in Boolean Algebra which
is AND, OR, and NOT. The basis for the information age and computer science was
built by Boolean Algebra. All computers operate on the basic concepts of Boolean
Algebra, where 1 is true and 0 is false.

There are many advantages of Boolean Algebra and one of them is benefited
electrical designers in the 1930s who worked on telephone switching circuits. They
set a closed switch to one, or "true," and an open switch to zero, or "false," using
Boolean algebra. The digital circuitry that makes up computers have the same
benefit. A "true" is defined as a high voltage state, whereas a "false" is defined as a
low voltage state. Engineers created digital electronic circuits that could answer
simple yes-no decision-making problems using high and low voltage states and
Boolean logic.
 Other than that, the Boolean Algebra also give the advantage in finding
information on the internet. This is because web searches use the Boolean logic for
filtering results. If you type "car dealers" into a search engine, for example, hundreds
of millions of online sites will come up. When the term "Chicago" is added, the figure
lowers dramatically. The search engine retrieves result that match "vehicle" AND
"dealer" AND "Chicago" using Boolean algebra; in other words, the Web page must
have all of the criteria to qualify. You can also use a "OR" condition, such as "car"
and "dealer" AND ("Chicago" OR "Milwaukee"), to find sites for car dealers in either
Chicago or Milwaukee. The advantage of Boolean logic, which refines search
results, assists millions of people who use the Internet every day.

Besides that, the disadvantage of Boolean algebra is Boolean logic produces

only definite, black-or-white outcomes on its own. It never yields a "maybe." This
limitation restricts Boolean algebra to situations in which all variables can be
expressed as explicit true or false values, and where these values are the only
possible outcomes. Next, the impact and contribution of Boolean algebra in
computer science is it can provide an idea foundation for designing the electronic
structure of computers for example that found in personal computers, pocket
calculators, cd players, cellular telephones, and a host of other electronic products.
In addition, Boolean algebra also can manipulate the information within computer
such as coding in command prompt.
MATHEMATICS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE

One of the applications used in the voting system in Social Science is the
borda count method. It is designed to overcome some of the drawbacks of the
traditional plurality technique. The Borda count is a set of positional voting rules that
assigns each candidate a number of points for each ballot based on the number of
candidates rated lower. The concept is straightforward whereby we must award
points to candidates based on their positions on each vote. Give one point for last
place, two points for second-to-last, and so on, up to N points for first place (if there
are N candidates). To more details, lets take a look at this example:

For our Math Anxiety Club election, recall the summary of the ballots:

14 10 8 4 1
NUMBER OF VOTERS

1st choice (4 point) A (56) C (40) D (32) B (16) C (4)

2nd choice (3 point) B (42) B (30) C (24) D (12) D (3)

3rd choice (2 point) C (28) D (20) B (16) C (8) B (2)

4th choice (1 point) D (14) A (10) A (8) A (4) A (1)

There are 4 candidates who are candidate A, candidate B, candidate C and

candidate D. Start with 14 people voted candidate A as the first choice, candidate B
as the second choice, candidate C as the third choice and candidate D as the last
choice. After that, 10 people voted candidate C as the first choice, candidate B as
the second choice, candidate D as the third choice and candidate A as the last
choice. Then, continue with other number of voters. Hence, for the first choice, it will
be given 4 points for 1 vote, second choice will be given 3 points for 1 vote, third
choice will be given 2 points for 1 vote and last choice will be given 1 point for 1 vote.
To conclude:
 • Candidate A gets 56 + 10 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 79 points

• Candidate B gets 42 + 30 + 16 + 16 + 2 = 106 points

• Candidate C gets 28 + 40 + 24 + 8 + 4 = 104 points

• Candidate D gets 14 + 20 + 32 + 12 + 3 = 81 points

So, the winner with this method is candidate B.

There are advantages and disadvantages of using this method. The

advantage is that the winning choice should have the most support because it results
in a majority vote, since everyone expresses their preferred choices as well as
choices that are okay. Everyone can also see what choices are where. However, a
disadvantage is tactical voting whereby the Borda counting is highly susceptible to
strategic voting, which is why it is not considered a viable voting system. To get the
most out of your vote, decide who you want to win and vote for him first, then decide
who will most likely compete with your choice for first place and vote for them last. If
you don't vote, your vote will have a significantly lower impact! When all voters do
this, the results are frequently disastrous. The voting system, according to Borda, is
"for honest men only." However, if the voters are truthful, Borda will produce
excellent outcomes.
Finally, the impact and the contribution of the borda count method is it is now
used in Slovenia to elect two ethnic minority members to the National Assembly, in
Icelandic parliamentary elections to determine which candidates are elected to party
list seats, and in Kiribati to pick presidential election candidates.
 CONCLUSION
As a deduction, mathematics can be applied in a wide range of situations in
our daily life. Many studies have been carried out to ensure that every mathematical
concept is used in a broad category. Aside from that, mathematics has a much
greater impact and contribution than what I described above, especially in computer
science, social science, and natural science.
