  • Importance of Mathematics Essay

    ...Introduction Mathematics is an indispensable subject of study. It plays an important role in forming the basis of all other sciences which deal with the material substance of space and time. What is Mathematics? Mathematics may be described as the fundamental science. It may be broadly described as the science of space, time and number. The universe exists in space and time, and is constituted of units of matter. To calculate the extension or composition of matter in space and time and to compute the units that make up the total mass of the material universe is the object of Mathematics. For the space-time quantum is everywhere full of matter and we have to know matter mathematically in the first instance. Importance of Mathematics Knowledge of Mathematics is absolutely necessary for the study of the physical sciences. Computation and calculation are the bases of all studies that deal with matter in any form. Even the physician who has to study biological cells and bacilli need to have a knowledge of Mathematics, if he means to reduce the margin of error which alone can make his diagnosis dependable. To the mechanic and the engineer it is a constant guide and help, and without exact knowledge of Mathematics, they cannot proceed one step in coming to grips with any complicated problem. Be it the airplane or the atom bomb,...

  • Essay about Importance of Mathematics

    ...Why study Mathematics? The main reason for studying mathematics to an advanced level is that it is interesting and enjoyable. People like its challenge, its clarity, and the fact that you know when you are right. The solution of a problem has an excitement and a satisfaction. You will find all these aspects in a university degree course. You should also be aware of the wide importance of Mathematics, and the way in which it is advancing at a spectacular rate. Mathematics is about pattern and structure; it is about logical analysis, deduction, calculation within these patterns and structures. When patterns are found, often in widely different areas of science and technology, the mathematics of these patterns can be used to explain and control natural happenings and situations. Mathematics has a pervasive influence on our everyday lives, and contributes to the wealth of the country. The importance of mathematics The everyday use of arithmetic and the display of information by means of graphs, are an everyday commonplace. These are the elementary aspects of mathematics. Advanced mathematics is widely used, but often in an unseen and unadvertised way. • The mathematics of error-correcting codes is applied to CD players and to computers. • The stunning pictures of far away planets sent by Voyager II could not have had their...

  • Mathematics and Mayans Essay

    ...Mathematics of the Greeks and the Mayans Mathematics is the study of time, space, structure, and quantity which is used to calculate almost anything in the world from the amount of atoms in an element to calculating the air pressure in a room. Although levels of math such as calculus are not taught until college, the use and study of mathematics have been around since the beginning of time and the world wouldn’t be able to function without it. The term “mathematics” comes from the Greek word mathema which means study, knowledge, or learning. Along with philosophy and astronomy, the ancient Greeks were well known for their development and contribution as brilliant mathematicians. Despite their widely spread fame as the world’s first greatest mathematicians, the Greeks had competitors. My contention is that the Mayans were one of the top mathematicians of the ancient world and were even more advanced than the Greeks. Ancient Greek mathematics has been developed since the early seventh century B.C. which could also be called the period during the Hellenistic Mathematics. Some of the greatest Ancient Greek mathematicians were Pythagoras, Aristotle, Anaxagoras, Euclid, Archimedes, Thales, and Aristarchus. These Greek mathematicians were big on the development of geometry which is a subdivision of math that focuses on shapes, size, and the relativity of space. Although their number system was...

  • Tok Mathematics Essay

    ...Theory of Knowledge Éanna OBoyle ToK Mathematics “... what the ordinary person in the street regards as mathematics is usually nothing more than the operations of counting with perhaps a little geometry thrown in for good measure. This is why banking or accountancy or architecture is regarded as a suitable profession for someone who is ‘good at figures’. Indeed, this popular view of what mathematics is, and what is required to be good at it, is extremely prevalent; yet it would be laughed at by most professional mathematicians, some of whom rather like to boast of their ineptitude when it comes to totalling a column of numbers....Yet ... it is not the mathematics of the accountant that is of most interest. Rather, it is ... abstract structures and everyday intuition and experience” (p.173, Barrow). 2.1 Mathematical Propositions 2.1.1 Mathematics consist of A Priori Propositions (theorems) We know mathematical propositions (or theorems) to be true independently of any particular experiences. No one ever checks empirically that, for example, 364.112 + 112.364 = 476.476 by counting objects of those numbers separately, adding them together, and then counting the result. The techical term to describe this independence of experiences is to say that the propositions are a priori. Therefore we say that mathematical propositions are a priori propositions. 2.1.2 Universality When mathematical propositions...

  • The Fear of Mathematics Essay

    ...THE FEAR OF MATHEMATICS Mathematics is often called the "queen of the sciences. It is a crucially important tool in the study of other scientific disciplines, in addition to being a science in its own right. Its value to scientific accomplishment is as innumerable as it is invaluable. Regarded as the nucleus of the science world itself, most celebrated scientific achievements could hardly have had a jumpstart without the guiding precepts of the basic modules of arithmetic. Most careers in Universities and colleges of education in the country increasingly require mathematics as a prerequisite. Mathematics is being used in the study of problems in an increasing number of areas like biotechnology, data communications, environmental toxicology, medical imaging, transportation scheduling, and financial risk management. The phobia for the disciple in high school has been recurring through time. It has endured an unhealthy acuity mainly in the mind of the lower level academic. Most students do not know how much the use of mathematics affects them, both now and in the future. Irrespective of gender, the scare of poor performance plagues parents as their wards grapple this non-avoidable subject. Most times the child that starts abhor mathematics would find no point of attraction with the class or the teacher. The result? Truancy sets in. This psyche can be corrected. This piece focuses on...

  • Pi in Mathematics Essay

    ...π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in the Euclidean plane; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159265 in the usual decimal notation. Many formulae from mathematics, science, and engineering involve π, which makes it one of the most important mathematical constants. π is an irrational number, which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n, where m and n are integers. Consequently, its decimal representation never ends or repeats. It is also a transcendental number, which implies, among other things, that no finite sequence of algebraic operations on integers (powers, roots, sums, etc.) can be equal to its value; proving this was a late achievement in mathematical history and a significant result of 19th century German mathematics. Throughout the history of mathematics, there has been much effort to determine π more accurately and to understand its nature; fascination with the number has even carried over into non-mathematical culture. Probably because of the simplicity of its definition, the concept of π has become entrenched in popular culture to a degree far greater than almost any other mathematical construct. It is, perhaps, the most common ground between mathematicians and non-mathematicians. Reports on the latest, most-precise...

  • Essay for Mathematics

    ...The Mathematics for Essay 2 The purpose of these notes are to explain some of the mathematics behind Essay 2. Your own essay should not just repeat these arguments but have a more geometric flavor. Write about how you can physically place the blocks. You may assume basic facts about geometric sums and series. Let r be any real number and let n be a non-negative integer. The sum 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn (1) is a geometric sum and the infinite series 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn + · · · (2) is a geometric series. Suppose further that r = 1. Then the geometric sum (1) can be computed by the formula 1 − rn+1 . 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn = 1−r This fact, which you may assume, is easily proved proved by mathematical induction. Now suppose that |r| < 1. Then limn−→∞ rn = 0 which means the geometric series (2) 1 by the preceding equation. We write converges to 1−r 1 + r + r2 + · · · + rn + · · · = 1 1−r (3) to indicate that the series converges and to designate the limit of the sequence of partial sums.
