Mathematics has numerous applications in the world making it indispensable

Introduction
Living in a world full of mystery. Mathematics answers most of the questions
the world gives. These questions provided the great minds of humans to understand
how the world revolves. Humans grew their knowledge with perseverance, now
these people keep on improving their life as the clock tickles.
Human civilization grew from the Stone Age to the present. With the span of
centuries, it is now visible to the human perception the changes happened to the
world. The evidence provided a great foundation for how the world is run by
mathematics. And through mathematics people can build a nation that will improve
the current state of life they experience.
Review of Related Literature
We depend on numbers to make sense of the world, and have done so ever
since we started to count. In fact, perhaps the most surprising feature of
mathematics is how extraordinarily successful it has been, and continues to be, in
enabling us to understand our surroundings. Civilization has progressed as far it has
thanks to discoveries about simple shapes like circles and triangles, expressed
pictorially at first, and later in the vernacular of equations (Bellos, 2015). Math
provided a neat refuge from the messiness of the real world. It marched forward its
field of knowledge expanding relentlessly, proof by proof (O’Neil, 2016).
Maths can be used for explaining how the body works, they are not only
hidden in your kidney but also in other organs such as your heart. Cooperation
between mathematicians, biologists and doctors could help define the future of
medicine. In the human heart we found many applications of the golden ratio and
angle, in addition to those previously described. In healthy hearts, vertical and
transverse dimensions accord with the golden ratio, irrespective of different absolute
dimensions due to ethnicity (Elsevier, 2011).
The Stanford Dictionary of Philosophy reminds us that in Timaeus, the work of
Greek philosopher Plato (429-347 BCE or Before the Common Era), for example,
regular geometric forms take center stage in the doctrine of natural elements
because of the proportions they contain and the beauty of their forms. The four
elements - Fire, Water, Earth and Air - could be represented by regular geometric
shapes (with polyhedrons of four, twenty, six and eight equal sides, respectively).
The Universe could also be represented by a 12-sided polyhedron - or a symmetrical
dodecahedron. When particles with these different forms are combined, they give
rise to all the natural elements we know (Museu do Amanhã, 2018).
Economists use math as a tool for manipulating and exploring economic
models. Sometimes it makes sense to express economic ideas in words; other
times, math does a better job. Economics is not math, but rather math is a tool for
presenting and manipulating/exploring/using economic models. Many economic
models use math to explain cause and effect (Lumen Microeconomics, 2016).
Mathematics is the most important part of banking and financial matters. It is
necessary to be accurate in the accounts to be able to maintain the money in an
optimal manner. Mathematics helps people manage money by balancing the check
book or shopping at the most expensive prices. It helps calculate bills (collection
and subtraction of income and expenses), financial obligations of taxes, insurance,
loans, and others
Mathematics always has been of central importance to astronomy.
Mathematical developments were applied to and motivated by astronomical
calculations. Many of the most famous astronomers were also mathematicians and
vice versa. Astronauts are using exact mathematical equations from how the
spacecraft leaves the Earth's atmosphere to how the astronaut drives the vehicle
(The scientific World, 2020).
.
Mathematics is the pillar of organized life for the present day. Without
numbers and mathematical evidence, we cannot resolve many issues in our daily
lives. There are times, measurements, rates, wages, tenders, discounts, claims,
supplies, jobs, stocks, contracts, taxes, money exchange, consumption, etc., and in
the absence of these sports data, we have to face confusion and chaos. Thus,
mathematics has become the companion of man and his helper since the beginning
of human existence on earth (The Scientific World, 2018).

Conclusion
Mathematics never failed to surprise us. It always answers the questions of
the world. It also teaches everyone to gain critical thinking. And I think that is why
mathematics is indispensable. Gaining critical thinking is a power in living your life as
an individual because there are situations that cannot be solved through numerical
equations. Thus solved by your mind that was strengthened by those equations that
look for x and y.
Mathematics gives meaning to our lives. It is literally everywhere. If you look
in the mirror, you will see yourself. Your wellbeing is proof that math is everywhere
because research provides that there is a golden ratio that is seen to various aspects
around the world and beyond it. Buildings in the cities were built with the foundation
of mathematics. Airplanes are flying because of the numbers behind it. Even the
devices that we are definitely using are products of math.
Mathematics will always have a special place in my heart. I was afraid of it
before. But good thing I faced the fear I have inside a long time ago. Math helped me
achieve everything I have now. And I can say that math is not an enemy but an ally
that teaches you to fight against the darkness of the world.
