What is the role of Mathematics in;

1. Mathematics in Physical Sciences – Mathematics is used in Physical Science to calculate the


measurements of objects and their characteristics, as well as to show the relationship
between different functions and properties. Arithmetic, algebra and advanced mathematics
may be used.
2. Mathematics in Chemistry - For example, chemists use group theory to study aspects of
their field, but this as a mathematical tool came much later than the first work that made
chemistry more “mathematical.” Of course, it was a revolution just to develop an
experimental approach to chemistry – carrying out procedures under controlled
circumstances many times and seeing if one got repeatable results.
3. Mathematics in Biological Sciences – The field of mathematical biology examines the
mathematical representations of biological systems and is a crucial aspect of better
understanding the natural world. This includes the formulation of mathematical models,
which can be used to predict or describe natural occurrences in a wide variety of useful
ways.
4. Mathematics in Engineering and Technology -Mathematics is considered one of the most
fundamental subjects that lay the foundation for many fields, including engineering and
medical studies. The importance of mathematics in these fields cannot be overstated, as it
provides the skills and knowledge necessary for problem-solving, analytical thinking, and
innovation
5. Mathematics and Agriculture -Agriculture is a critical component of our economy, providing
food and raw materials for a growing population. In recent years, mathematical modelling
has emerged as an essential tool for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability.
Here are some ways in which math helps in agriculture.
6. Mathematics and Economics -Mathematical economics refers to an economic model that
uses the principles and methods of mathematics to create economic theories and to analyse
economic dilemmas. Mathematics helps economists to perform quantifiable experiments
and create models for predicting future economic growth.
7. Mathematics and Psychology-Mathematical psychology is an approach to psychological
research that is based on mathematical modelling of perceptual, thought, cognitive and
motor processes, and on the establishment of law-like rules that relate quantifiable stimulus
characteristics with quantifiable behaviour (in practice often constituted by task
performance).
8. Mathematics and Actuarial Science, Insurance and Finance- Actuarial science applies
mathematical and statistical methods to finance and insurance, particularly to the
assessment of risk. Actuarial science includes a number of interrelating disciplines, in
particular the mathematics of probability and statistics.
9. Mathematics and Archaeology – Reconstruction of the original aspect of ancient floors is a
classical problem for archaeologists and restoration architects. Via the mathematical theory
of periodic tessellations we reconstruct the original aspect of floors compatible with the
fragments on site at the Trajan Markets, Rome. Our solution is unique under standard
assumptions on regularity of the patterns.
10. Mathematics and Logic-the Department of Philosophy, Paris Oust University, Denis Bonney.
Logic and mathematics are two sister-disciplines, because logic is this very general theory of
inference and reasoning, and inference and reasoning play a very big role in mathematics,
because as mathematicians what we do is we prove theorems, and to do this we need to
use logical principles and logical inferences.
11. Mathematics in Music -Although it might not be apparent on the surface, a strong and
revealing link exists between the discipline of mathematics and the art of music. Whether
we’re considering the complexities involved in harmonics, the myriad ways in which
musicians have incorporated the magic of numbers into their work, or the most rudimentary
descriptions of sound, tempo, and vibration, mathematics has been interwoven into the
fabric of music for thousands of years.
12. Mathematics in Arts-Often, many artists benefit from mathematical observations, such as
the golden ratio, to make their artwork realistic and breath-taking. Mathematics can also
explain angles and perspective. Thus, there is a large amount of math involved in art.
13. Mathematics in Philosophy -On the one hand, philosophy of mathematics is concerned with
problems that are closely related to central problems of metaphysics and epistemology. At
first blush, mathematics appears to study abstract entities.
14. Mathematics in Social Networks-A social network graph is a graph where the nodes
represent people and the lines between nodes, called edges, represent social connections
between them, such as friendship or working together on a project. These graphs can be
either undirected or directed
15. Mathematics in Political Science-Political scientists study the structure and theory of
government and seek practical and theoretical solutions to political problems. Most current
studies and research concentrate on tangible topics such as welfare reform, political
campaigns and elections, foreign relations, and immigration.
16. Mathematics in Linguistics-Mathematical linguistics refers to the use of rigorous
mathematical frameworks to model aspects of languages, either natural or formal.
17. Mathematics in Management -Mathematics is considered to be the study of numbers,
shapes & patterns and when this discipline is applied in a business, it becomes Business
Maths.
18. Mathematics in Computers -Math is a fundamental tool in computer science, providing a
way of understanding and describing complex systems and powerful problem-solving
techniques. Mathematical concepts such as algorithms, data structures, and formal logic are
essential for developing efficient, correct, and reliable software.
19. Mathematics in Geography-Geography uses mathematics to calculate the distance of the
places, areas, gradient of hills, and heights of places. Different places’ locations are also
stated in terms of degrees and by using the calculation the layout of areas can be predicted.
