MATHEMATICS

FOR OUR
WORLD

LESSON 1.3
Objectives:

∙ Articulate the importance of mathematics in one’s life.

∙ Express appreciation of Mathematics as a human
endeavor.
∙ Support the use of Mathematics in various aspects and
endeavors in life.
∙ Affirm honesty and integrity the application of
Mathematics to various human.
MATHEMATICS IN DIFFERENT FIELDS
When we hear the word
"mathematics," the first thing that
floats in our mind is numbers. Numbers
serve as the raw materials which a
great deal of mathematics is forged.
MATHEMATICS IN DIFFERENT FIELDS
In our daily life, we use
mathematics directly or
indirectly in various fields.
MATHEMATICS IN DIFFERENT FIELDS
The application of mathematical
methods in different fields such as
science, engineering, business, computer
science, and industry is a combination of
mathematical science and specialized
knowledge.
 Mathematics is applied specifically the differential
and integral calculus to clarify the blurred image to clear
image.

Another application of calculus is optimization

(maximize or minimize) surface areas, volumes, profit and
cost analysis, projectile motion, etc.
 Statistics, combinatorics, and graph
theory are used by investigators to solve
crimes.
 Engineering

Engineers use numerical analysis in

phenomena involving heat, electricity,
and magnetism, relativistic mechanics,
quantum mechanics, and other
theoretical constructs.
 Modern computers are invented thru the
help of mathematics. An important area of
applications of mathematics is in the
development of formal mathematical
theories related to the development of
computer science.
 Computer science development includes, logic,
relations and functions, set theory, counting
techniques, graph theory, combinatorics, discrete
probability, recursion and recurrence relations, number
theory, computer-oriented numerical analysis,
Operation Research techniques (Simulation, Monte
Carlo Program, Evaluation Research Technique, Critical
Path Method).
 Just like Google, they use linear
algebra to set itself apart from the other
search engines by its ability to quantify
"relevance" with the help of
mathematics. On the other hand,
Facebook uses graph theory to create
links between individuals.
 A combination of both mathematics and
computer science and is affiliated closely with
information theory, computer security and
engineering.
It is used in applications present in technologically
advanced societies; examples include the security of
ATM cards, computer passwords and electronic
commerce.
 Archaeologists use a variety of
mathematical and statistical techniques to
present the data from archaeological
surveys and try to find patterns to shed
light on past human behavior and in
carbon dating artifacts.
 In economics, mathematics such as
matrices, probability and statistics are used.
The models may be stochastic or deterministic,
linear or non-linear, static or dynamic,
continuous or discrete, and all types of
algebraic, differential, difference and integral
equations arise for the solution of these
models.
 Political analysts study past election results
to see changes in voting patterns and the
influence of various factors on voting behavior,
on switching of votes among political parties
and mathematical models for Conflict
Resolution using Game Theory and Statistics.
 Music and Arts
The rhythm that we find in all music
notes is the result of innumerable
permutations and combinations. Music
theorists understand musical structure and
communicate new ways of hearing music by
applying set theory, abstract algebra, and
number theory.
 Music and Arts
It is said that the universe is
written in language of
mathematics, and its characters
are triangles, circles, and other
geometric figures.
 In architecture, geometry, algebra, and
trigonometry all play a crucial role. In order to
plan their blueprints or original sketch designs,
architects apply these math types. They also
measure the likelihood of challenges that
could be encountered by the construction
team as they carry the design vision to life in
three dimensions.
 Mathematics can also be used to make
predictions such as natural phenomena.

Applying the concept of probability, experts can

calculate the chance of an event occurring.
 Based on meteorologist can make forecast
to help us prepare for our day-to-day activities.
They can also warn us of weather disturbances
that can affect our activities for weeks or months

Astronomers can also use patterns to

predict the occurrence of meteor showers or
