mining operation is its geology. Geology can be classified as either physical or historical geology. Physical geology is the study of Earth materials‚ operating as minerals and rocks‚ as well as the processes operating within Earth and on its surface (Monroe‚ 2001). Geology influences the strength of the rocks‚ the ability to process the given deposit with existing processing techniques and stability of excavation made in the mineral deposit. This emphasizes the importance of geology to mining operations

know‚ Mathematics is becoming more and more useful to Geologists. Mathematical Geology can be an essential aid in formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena. Geomagnetic Field models are used in navigations‚ Geophysical Surveys‚ Oil production and in scientific studies ranging from the upper atmosphere to the earth’s deep interior. The math which is required with geology can be written down as Algebra‚ Geometry‚ trigonometry‚ Calculus‚ Linear Algebra
