MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD
DINEROS, JOEBERT ALEXI BM1E
The Mathematics in nature
-The Fibonacci sequence can be seen in so many flower seed spirals and petal growth. On a
sunflower head, the seeds grow from the centre before continuing to grow outwards to fit the
pattern. The pattern just so happens to correlate to the Fibonacci sequence it manifests itself
in many examples of mathematics in nature.
- The shape of honeycombs is an extremely good compromise between strength and space
needed for storage of honey. In fact, mathematicians go so far as to say that no other
structure would be better for it’s purposes. And that is why honeycombs are an epic example
of mathematics in nature.
-There is a type of spider Web called an orb web. Orb spiders create webs that are nearly
completely symmetrical and also nearly completely circular. The spiders seem to have a
natural ability to judge geometrical distance with astounding accuracy and it is the top rate
mathematics in nature.
1. What is Mathematics?
Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes and patterns and it’s the study of such topics
as Numbers on how things can be counted, Structure on how things are organized, Space on
where things are and their arrangement, and change on how things become different. It
has no generally accepted definition and sometimes it came from the perspective of some
great mathematicians like Galileo Galilei, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Benjamin Peirce and Albert
Einstein, which they have their own idea how mathematic works and how mathematic
changes every part of people’s life. Mathematics is essential in many fields, including natural
science, engineering, medicine, finance and the social sciences. Applied mathematics has led
to entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians
engage in pure mathematics or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application
in mind. Practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered.
Mathematicians seek and use patterns to formulate new conjectures they resolve the truth or
falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. When mathematical structures are good models
of real phenomena, then mathematical reasoning can provide insight or predictions about
nature. Through the use of abstraction and logic, mathematics developed
from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of
the shapes and motions of physical objects. Mathematics solves problems by using logic.
One of the main tools of logic used by mathematicians is deduction. Deduction is a special
way of thinking to discover and prove new truths using old truths. To a mathematician, the
reason something is true is just as important as the fact that it is true, and this reason is often
found using deduction. Using deduction is what makes mathematics thinking different from
other kinds of scientific thinking, which might rely on experiments or on interviews. Logic and
reasoning are used by mathematicians to create general rules, which are an important part of
mathematics. These rules leave out information that is not important so that a single rule can
cover many situations. By finding general rules, mathematics solves many problems at the
same time as these rules can be used on other problems and can be called theorems
conjectures. Most mathematicians use non-logical and creative reasoning in order to find a
logical proof. Sometimes, mathematics finds and studies rules or ideas that we don't
understand yet. Often in mathematics, ideas and rules are chosen because they are
considered simple or neat. On the other hand, sometimes these ideas and rules are found in
the real world after they are studied in mathematics, this has happened many times in the
past. In general, studying the rules and ideas of mathematics can help us understand the
world better.
2. Where is Mathematics?
Mathematics is everywhere and it could be part of our daily life in fact, some of our daily living
we didn’t notice that we apply mathematics every day. For example in our economy we’ve
seen a lot more of the math on how we handle our money, how we spend it and how we buy
some stuff there’s math. it could be seen anywhere even in our nature and every living things,
some of that has a geometrical figure that considered or justify as a part of mathematics and
some of those has the ability to prove more than just what mathematics has to offer and the
amazing things is math has the capability to improve our life and make a better future since it
has been part of our life since day one. As we may observed we can define or recognize how
mathematics can be used and can be applied for every problem, it is also can solve a task
and logical reasoning to make an exceptional masterpiece that can also use to establish our
nation for a better. If we are just so curios where mathematics can be distinguished just look
to our nature, look everywhere look around and be observant about the structure of it, the way
how it happens and how it became more efficient and helpful to us to understand more
where’s mathematics is be what you are on the way God created you and understand more of
his creation be thankful of what mathematics can do more. As we aged we grew more
knowledge about mathematics, what is mathematics, how mathematic works and what is the
purpose of mathematics, we can classified all of these as a part of life and part of a big
concept on what we are, since mathematics is science we can do a lot more, we can learn so
many things about it and it is doing a big role for our world, Mathematics is everywhere and
it’s always there and it’s always been.
3. What role thus Mathematics play in your world?
As we know that, maths is played a role in every entire world and inside the every single
country. One of the most important use of it is measurement, we do use measurement
techniques in our day to day life even in our cooking, paper works or doing some calculation
about the height and width we just don’t noticed that we do the math everyday, as I said about
my example lately of handling money, now only money gives you everything, but to handle
money, you should be able to handle maths on how you spend it, how you handle it and how=
to spend it wise with the help of math, Whatever field you belong to like marketing, computer
scientist, salesman ,postman, sports man, etc you must have some calculations, so
calculations ultimately requires maths. Mathematics is useful for solving problems that occur
in the real world, so many people besides mathematicians study and use mathematics.
Today, some mathematics is needed in many jobs. People working in business, science,
engineering, and construction need some knowledge of mathematics that’s how important
math is. In particular, mathematics has contributed to progress in science and technology for
thousands of years and still continues to do so. It finds useful applications in development of
infrastructure, the physical appearance and development of infrastructure is crucial in a
society thus, for the construction of roads, buildings, bridges and many more. This can be
seen that, without maths no one can solve the numerical problem, big questions of numbers,
how everything works, how to make an infrastructure, how to solve things and how to improve
our economy. It could be the reason of downfall of every country without math, even how to
construct some of the idea with the help of mathematics just by imagining that it does not
exist, what will happen to our world, May be we can’t establish a nation without it, we can’t
build a structure of a building or a factory that can help to improve our economy, without
mathematics everything is a chaos so that’s why it’s a big role that played in our world.
