Introduction

Quote about Mathematics “Education should be started with mathematics. For it forms well designed brains that are able to reason right. It is even admitted that those who have studied mathematics during their childhood should be trusted, for they have acquired solid bases for arguing which become to them a sort of second nature”. IbnKhaldun in “al-Muqaddima”

The literal meaning of mathematics is “things which can be counted”. Now you can think that counting has vital role in our daily life.

Just imagine that there were no mathematics at

all, how would it be possible for us to count days, months and years?

Mathematics

Definition

Britannica concise encyclopedia defines as “Science of structure, order, and relation

that has evolved from counting, measuring and describing the shapes of object. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculations”.

Definition

Mathematics in everyday life

On a basic level you need to be able to count, multiply, subtract and divide.

Mathematics is around us. It is present in

different forms whenever we pick up the phone, manage the money, travel to some place, play football, meet new friends; unintentionally in all these things mathematics is involved.

Mathematics in everyday life

To be successful in many occupations and to be able to function in today’s technological world, students must be able to process and interpret data, communicate their understanding with others and be able to apply mathematical reasoning.

Mathematics Everywhere

Arithmetic ( Profit and Loss, Percentage, Ratio and Time related problems):

Where are the Arithmetic use ?1. It is used in the markets.2. It is used by the shopkeepers.3. It is used in the banks. 4. It is used by the Goldsmith,

Blacksmith and etc.

Arithmetic

Geometry

Geometry : (concerned with the question of size, shape, and relative position of figures and with properties of space).

Where are the Geometry use ? It is used in the construction of the

buildings, homes and etc. It is used to find the area of anything

like carpets, floor, furniture and etc.

Geometry

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which deals with triangles, particularly triangles in a plane where one angle of the triangle is 90 degrees. Trigonometry is derived from Greek words trigonon (three angles) and metron ( measure).

What is trigonometry?

This field of mathematics can be applied in astronomy, navigation, music theory, acoustics, analysis of financial markets, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging, pharmacy, chemistry, number theory, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, land surveying, architecture, economics, electrical, mechanical & civil engineering, computer graphics, and game development.

Applications of Trigonometry

Since ancient times trigonometry was used in astronomy.

The technique of triangulation is used to measure the distance to nearby stars.

In 240 B.C., a mathematician named Eratosthenes discovered the radius of the Earth using trigonometry and geometry.

FUTURE CAREER

Mathematics is called the Mother of all Sciences.

Most of university degree require mathematics. Students who choose not to take mathematics seriously or to ignore it in high school, forfeit many future career opportunities that they could have.

Importance of mathematics for a future career

Those who do not take interest in Maths, essentially turn their backs on more than half the job market. The importance of mathematics for potential careers cannot be over emphasized.

To get degrees in different areas, one need to have good knowledge of mathematics and statistics.

Importance of mathematics for a future career

Maths is unavoidable. It’s deeply fundamental thing. Without math, there would be no science, no music, no art.

Maths is a part of all of those things. If it has got a structure, then there’s an aspect of it that’s mathematical.
