INTRODUCTION
There are a lot of things around us related to circles or parts of a circle. A circle is
a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which is the
same distance from a given point called the centre. The common distance of the points
of a circle from its center is called its radius.
Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions,
an interior and an exterior. In everyday use, the term "circle" may be used
interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure (known as the
perimeter) or to the whole figure including its interior. However, in strict
technical usage, "ci rcle" refers to the perimeter while the interior of the circle is
called a disk. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle (especially when
referring to its length).
A circle is a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident. Circles are conic
sections attained when a right circular cone is intersected with a plane perpendicular to
the axis of the cone.
The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. It is
the basis for the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much
of modern civilization possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle has helped
inspire the development of geometry and calculus. Circles had been used in daily lives
to help people in their living.

Brief History of Geometry
Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics the other being the study ofnumbers.
Geometry began with a practical need to measure shapes. It is the science of shape and sizeof things. It is believed that geometry first became important when an Egyptian Pharaoh wanted totax farmers who raised crops along the Nile River. To compute the correct amount of tax thePharaohs agents had to be able to measure the amount of land being cultivated. Around 2 900 BC(Before Century) the first Egyptian pyramid was constructed. Knowledge of geometry was essentialfor building pyramids, which consisted of a square base and triangular faces. The earliest record of aformula for calculating the area of a triangle dates back to 2 000 BC. The Egyptians (5000 500 BC)and the Babylonians (4 000 500 BC) developed practical geometry to solve everyday problems. Itwas the early Greeks (600 BC 400 AD) that developed the principles of modern geometrybeginning with Thales of Miletus (624 547 BC). Thales is credited with bringing the science ofgeometry from Egypt to Greece. Thales studied similar triangles and wrote the proof thatcorresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion. The next great Greek geometer wasPythagoras (569 475 BC). Pythagoras is regarded as the first pure mathematician to logicallydeduce geometric facts from basic principles. Pythagoras founded a brotherhood called thePythagoreans, who pursued knowledge in mathematics, science, and philosophy. Some peopleregard the Pythagorean School as the birthplace of reason and logical thought. The most famousand useful contribution of the Pythagoreans was the Pythagorean Theorem. The theory states thatthe sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse. Euclid of
Alexandria (325 265 BC) was one of the greatest of all the Greek geometers and is considered bymany to be the father of modern geometry . Euclid is best known for his 13-book treatise TheElements.The Elementsis one of the most important works in history and had a profound impact on thedevelopment of Western civilization.
Euclid began The Elements with just a few basics, 23 definitions, 5 postulates, and 5 common notions
or general axioms. An axiom is a statement that is accepted as true. From these basics, he provedhis first proposition. Once proof was established for his first proposition, it could then be used as partof the proof of a second proposition, then a third, and on it went. This process is known as theaxiomatic approach. Euclids Elements form the basis of the modern geometry that is still taught inschools today. Archimedes of Syracuse (287 212 BC) is regarded as the greatest of the Greekmathematicians and was also the inventor of many mechanical devices including the screw, thepulley, and the lever. The Archimedean screw a device for raising water from a low level to a higherone is an invention that is still in use today. Archimedes works include his treatiseMeasurement of a Circle, which was an analysis of circular area, and his masterpiece On the Sphere andthe Cylinderin which he determined the volumes and surface areas of spheres and cylinders. Therewere no major developments in geometry until the appearance of Ren Descartes (1 596 1 650BC). In his famous treatise Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason in the Search forTruth in the Sciences, Descartes combined algebra and geometry to create analytic geometry. Analyticgeometry, also known as coordinate geometry, involves placing a geometric figure into a coordinatesystem to illustrate proofs and to obtain information using algebraic equations. The next greatdevelopment in geometry came with the development of non-Euclidean geometry. Carl Friedrich

Gauss (1 777 1 855 BC) who along with Archimedes and Newton is considered to be one of thethree greatest mathematicians of all time, invented non-Euclidian geometry prior to the independentwork of Janos Bolyai (1 802 1 860 BC) and Nikolai Lobachevski (1792 1 856 BC). Non-Euclidiangeometry generally refers to any geometry not based on the postulates of Euclid, includinggeometries for which the parallel postulate is not satisfied. The parallel postulate states that through a
given point not on a line, there is one and only one line parallel to that line. Non-Euclidian geometryprovides the mathematical foundation for Einsteins Theory of Relativity. The most recentdevelopment in geometry is fractal geometry. Fractal geometry was developed and popularized byBenoit Mandelbrot in his 1982book The Fractal Geometry of Nature. A fractal is a geometric shape,which is self-similar (invariance under a change of scale) and has fractional (fractal) dimensions.Similar to chaos theory, which is the study of non-linear systems; fractals are highly sensitive to initialconditions where a small change in the initial conditions of a system can lead to dramatically differentoutputs for that system.

ANSWERS FOR PART I
Uses of Mathematics in Cake Baking and Decorating
One very importantaspect ofcake baking istheamount of ingredientsrequired. This is
becauseacakeshould bereasonable pricing. Atthesametime, beauty isalso a priority incake
baking, ingredientsshouldnot be waster unnecessarily.
Calculus can be applied in cake baking. Particularly, the second derivative is greatly
used. This is because the second derivative allows bakeries to calculate the maximum or
minimum amount of ingredients needed to increase profit and efficiency. This allows positive
growth in business. At the same time, the bakeries will not under-order, or over-order the
ingredients.
In the baking of more complex cakes, such as multi-storey cakes or multi-layered cakes,
progressions are applied. Progressions allow us to calculate the size or volume of a subsequent
layer. Also, it allows us to estimate the quantity of ingredients needed. Usually, geometric
progressions are used.
Lastly, ratios are used in cake baking. More often than not bakers need to estimate the
amount of ingredients used or substitute the ingredient with another if that ingredient is notavailable. For example, we often read cookbooks guiding us to use 3 parts of water to 1 part of
flour. This ratio of water to flour 3:1, allows us to bake a cake of different sizes. Although we
may bake a smaller or larger cake, the flour and water used still obeys the proportions set. We
are then allowed to creatively bake the cake.

Method2 Usingdifferentiation
Assuming that the surface area of the cake is proportionate to the amount of fresh cream needed to
decorate the cake.*
Formula for surface area of cake = h =
Surface area in contact with cream
= 2 + 2 = 2 + The values, when plotted into a graph will from a minimum value that can be obtained throughdifferentiation.
0 = 6.284r3 3800038000 = 6.284r36407.104 = r3
18.22 = rWhen r = 18.22 cm, h = 18.22 cm
The dimensions of the cake that requires the minimum amount of fresh cream to decorate is
approximately 18.2 cm in height and 18.2 cm in radius.
I would bake a cake of such dimensions because the cake would not be too large for the cutting or
eating of said cake, and it would not be too big to bake in a conventional oven.
* The above conjecture is proven by the following
When r = 10,
~ the total surface area of the cake is 4114.2 c~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 4381.2 c~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0 .94
When r = 20,
~ the total surface area of the cake is 3156.8 c~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 3308.5 c~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0 .94
Therefore, the above conjecture is proven to be true.

CONCLUSION
After doing research, answering questions, drawing graphs, and some problem solving, I
saw that the usage of geometry, calculus and progressions are important in daily life.
Geometry is the study of angles and triangles, perimeter, area and volume. It differs fromalgebra in that one develops a logical structure where mathematical relationshipsare proved and applied.
A geometric progression (GP), also known as a geometric sequence, is a
sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying theprevious one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio.
Differentiation is essentially the process of finding an equation which will giveyou the gradient (slope, "rise over run", etc.) at any point along the curve. Sayyou have y = x^2.The equation y' = 2x will give you the gradient of y at any pointalong that curve.
As the conclusion, geometry, calculus and progressions are part of our
necessities. Thus, we should be thankful of the people who contribute in the idea of
geometry, calculus and progressions because without them, we cant done the multi-
storey cake, and its hard to find out the volume of ingredients needed for the cake.

REFLECTION
I have done many researches throughout the internet and discussing with friends who have helped me alot in completing this project. Through the completion of this project, I have learned many skills
and techniques. This project really helps me to understand more about the uses of progressions in ourdaily life.This project also helped expose the techniques of application of additional mathematics in real life
situations.
While conducting this project, I found a lot of information. I have learnt how to bake a wedding tieredcake stands with good quality and proper height.Apart from that, this project encourages the student to work
together and share their knowledge. It is also encourage student to gather information from the internet, improvethinking skills and promote effective mathematical communication.Last but not least, I proposed this project
should be continue because it brings a lot of moral values to the student and also test the students understanding inAdditional Mathematics.
