Uses of mathematics in daily life

The topicswhich are mainly useful in daily life are : Commercial Mathematics Algebra Statistics Calculus,Number theory,geometry, &Mechanics.

Discount : Reduction from the full amount of a price . The following are the six types of discounts which we see are Simple Discount. Offer a price reduction on a product by a percentage. For example, buy a shirt and receive 25 % off the original price. Minimum Purchase Discount. Offer a price reduction on a minimum quantity purchase. For example, buy two shirts and receive 20 % off each shirt. Buy N, Get one Free. Offer a free gift with a minimum quantitypurchase. For example, buy two shirts and receive a third shirt forfree. Paired Discount. Offer a price reduction on a product if another product is purchased. For example, buy a shirt and receive Rs.10 off a pair of jeans. Paired Set Discount. Offer a price reduction on an item if a certainquantity of another item is purchased. For example, buy three shirtsand receive 30 % off a pair of jeans. Order Discount. Offer a price reduction or free shipping on the order total, if a certain amount is purchased. For example, buy Rs. 5000 worth of merchandise, and receive 10 % off the total order.

Banking : A system of trading in money which involved safeguarding deposits and making funds. available for borrowers. * What is the use of mathematics in Banking ? Bank is full of transactions. In turn the transaction is nothing but mathematics Banks are also involved in stocks and bonds. Bond calculations are mathematical. Stock options are also quite mathematical.

 Stock and Share :In business and finance, ashare

(also referred to as equity share) ofstoc k means a share ofownersh ip in acorporation (company). In the plural,stocks is often used as a synonym forshares A stock is at a premium ( above par) , at par or at adiscount (below par ) according as its market valueis greater than , equal to or less than the face value . Generally stocks are sold and purchased throughbrokers. The amount paid to them in selling andpurchasing stocks are called Brokerage.
so ,C.P.=M.V. + Brokerage

Arithmetic ( Profit & Loss, Percentage, Ratio and Proposition , Time related problems):The word refers to a branch ofmathematics which records elementary properties of certainopera tio ns onnumbers Arithmetic operations: The traditional arithmetic operations areaddition, subtraction, multiplicationand division, although more advanced operations (such as manipulations of percentages, square root, exponentiation, and logarithmic functions) are also sometimes included
in this subject.

Algebra :It is a branch ofmathemati cs concerning the study ofstr uct ure, relation, and quantity. Classification :Algebra may be divided into the following categories: Elementary algebra, in which the properties of operations on the real number system are recorded using symbols as "place holders" to denotecons tants andvar iables, and the rules governing mathematical expressionsand equations involving these symbols are studied Abstract algebra, sometimes also called modern algebra, in which algebraic structures such as groups, ringsan d fieldsar e axiomatically defined and investigated. Linear algebra, in which the specific properties of vector spaces are studied (includingmatrices); Universal algebra, in which properties common to all algebraic structures are studied. Algebraic number theory, in which the properties of numbers are studied through algebraic systems. Number theory inspired much of the original abstraction in algebra. Algebraic geometry in its algebraic aspect.

 How algebra is useful in daily life ? Suppose , we are to appoint a person for some domestic purpose .We give him two option for salary per month as : (2)Rs. 25 daily (3)Rs.5 for the first day and keep on increasing Rs. 2 to the pervious days for the next day Which option will be better for him ? (2) option is better: As in the (1) option he will get only25 30 = Rs. 750 And in the (2) option he will get = 5 +7+9 +...+ upto 30 terms = Rs. 1020. ( sum of 30 terms of A.P.)

 Statistics: It is a mathematical science pertaining to th

collection, analysis, interpretation or explanation, and presentation ofdata. Also with prediction and forecasting based on data. Statistics form a key basis tool in business and manufacturing as well. It is used to understand measurement systems variability, control processes for summarizing data, and to make data-driven decisions. In these roles, it is a key tool, and perhaps the only reliable tool.

Some fields of inquiry use applied statistics so extensively that they have specialized terminology.

 It is sometimes difficult for students to appreciate the importance of Mathematics. They often find the subject boring and hard to understand. With this project we will hopefully help our students realise that Mathematics is not just a subject on their time-table but a tool they use in their everyday life!

 Percentages

Math is everywhere and yet, we may not recognize it because it doesn't look like the math we did in school. Math in the world around us sometimes seems invisible. But math is present in our world all the time--in the workplace, in our homes, and in life in general. When you buy a car, follow a recipe, or decorate your home, you're using math principles. Percentages are used in our everyday life and we may not even realize it !!

 Polish folk art - Paper Cutout Wycinanki - Polish folk art paper cutouts are known through out the world as a beautiful craft. These beautiful paper cut-outs have been used to decorate the interior of Polish homes since the early 19th century! They were used to decorate the walls of ceiling beams in countryside cottages and given as gifts to family members and friends. The complexity of the designs is created by repeating symmetrical patterns and folk motifs inspired by nature and geometric shapes.

Metric Conversions
The metric system provides a universal language for measurement that can be understood regardless of where you are from or what language you speak. The United States, however, has not completely embraced the metric system, and so many items in the U.S. are still measured in English units, which are sometimes also called British units. Butter, for example, is measured in pounds, an English unit. Other items, however, are sold in metric units, such as bottled sodas. The mixture of systems can be confusing. What does a pound of butter convert to in the metric system? How much is a liter in English units? Converting between metric and English units is, in fact, easily done. Before you learn how, you first need learn the symbols used in both the metric and English systems for properties such as mass, length, volume, and temperature.

 Mathematics finds use in the daily life of many people. This could be for mundane household tasks, or as part of a profession. Here is a small list: Balancing a checkbook calculating expenses maintaining a family budget maintaining a business budget measuring a space for adding/rearranging furniture measuring wood to be cut in a building project measuring steel to be placed in a construction project surveying land measuring pipe for a number of uses including sewer, conduit, water, etc.
Mathematics is applied from wake up in the morning to till we go to sleep(time),required quantity of food intake,cooking ingredient's,time of preparation,to select the required vessel,to calculate the income amount & expenses ,check out bank account number,amount,for construction of building(mensuration)to calculate required area of the land,to count the no. Of products etc

 A globe is a good example of rotational symmetry in a three-dimensional object. The globe keeps its shape as it is turned on its stand around an imaginary line between the north and south poles. The globe shown here dates from the late 15th or early 16th century and is one of the earliest three-dimensional representations of the surface of the Earth. It can be found in the Historical Academy in Madrid.

 Decimal calculator
A pocket calculator is one way in which decimals are used in everyday life. The value of each digit shown is determined by its place in the entire row of numbers on the screen. In this photograph, the 7 is worth 700 (seven hundreds), the 8 is worth 80 (eight tens) and the 6 is worth 6 (six ones).

 SYMMETY IN TOWER

 Fractions of a tomato
You can cut all sorts of fruit and vegetables into fractions: cut a tomato in half, an apple into quarters or a banana into eighths, although you would have to be very accurate. An orange might have 20 segments, and each would be a 20th of the whole orange.

 In a time when even a common man is increasingly dependent on the application of science and technology in daily life activities, the role of mathematics has probably been redefined. Right to rise early in the day alarm tone, waiting for the figures of the whistles in the kitchen, money exchange at the point of sale while enjoying a public medium, almost every moment that comes, make simple calculations on the back of our minds. Of course, all these are actually quite unconsciously, without thinking saved for the use of mathematics in all these instances. playing time on a clock, rounding off a date on a calendar, checking the mileage on his car, stopped at the station, on a call at school, making test scores school, scoring in a game, betting on a horse race, the preparation of a recipe in the kitchen the list is endless if we continue to see situations where our knowledge of computers, or more precisely, simple mathematics comes to play a paper. We are scared to some extent to think about life without any knowledge of calculation or computation or other mathematical terms. In many cases, the absence of a formal education hardly affects the relative gain control of these computational techniques that are so essential in our daily lives.

a psychological level, exposure to mathematics to help develop an analytical mind and helps to better organization of ideas and accurate expression of thought. On a more general, far from dealing with mathematical concepts, the importance of mathematics to a common man when he visits supported banks, shopping malls, railways, postal offices, insurance companies, dealing with transportation or business transactions, imports and exports, trade and commerce, and the likes. Even when we think about the role of mathematics in leisure activities, we have a list that works long enough puzzles surprising: video games, computer games, riddles, etc. It follows from this that the modern lifestyle seems with reduced mobility and, sometimes highly unlikely in the absence of mathematics. In fact, if you are familiar with the language of numbers, it would be difficult to reach important decisions and perform everyday tasks. Whether you buy wisely, or buy the right insurance, or redo a house on a budget, knowledge of mathematics is the key, and therefore it is hardly necessary.

 Why Study Mathematics? Applications of Mathematics in Our Daily Life

Most students would like to know why they have to study various mathematical concepts. Teachers usually cannot think of a real-life application for most topics or the examples that they have are beyond the level of most students. In this chapter, I will first discuss the purposes of mathematics, the aims of mathematics education and the rationales for a broad-based school curriculum. Then I will provide some examples of applications of mathematics in the workplace that secondary school and junior college students can understand. But students may not be interested in these professions, so I will examine how mathematics can be useful outside the workplace in our daily life. Lastly, I will look at how mathematical processes, such as problem solving, investigation, and analytical and critical thinking, are important in and outside the workplace.

 Rationales for a Broad-Based School Curriculum

Many students have ambitions but how many of them will end up fulfilling them? Just because a student wants to be a doctor does not mean he or she has the ability or the opportunity to become one. In Singapore, there is a limited vacancy for studying medicine in the university because the government does not want an oversupply of doctors (which is a popular choice of career here) and an undersupply in other jobs since the only asset that Singapore has is its people as there are scarce natural resources. So, even if a student has the aptitude to become a doctor, he or she may still lose out to the more academically-inclined students, and unless the students parents have the means to send him or her overseas to pursue his or her ambition, the student will most likely end up with another job. This is the first thing that teachers can impress upon Their students.

 Bank: savings and credit

With some good understanding of simple and compound interest, you can manage the way your money grows.

 there are lots of real uses of mathematics in our life. All the mathematics terms base on counting. Today our all businesses base on counting. There is no concept of business without mathematics. Before the mathematics rules people use barter system. They give there goods to others and take the goods from other people. But this system can not continue longer when need of humans increased day by day. We cannot deny the importance of mathematics in our daily life. When we got to shop to purchase some thing we need mathematics. When some one comes to our shop to purchase some thing we need calculations. But the most important use of mathematics in our technologies can not be contradicted. Our most of the system base on computers and all the computer technology are stands on mathematical rules. All computers work on binary code, code of zero and one. So we cannot deny the importance of mathematics in real life.

 symmetry in the nature: a flower

 Mathematics is very important for life since it helps us to quantify all the visible and invisible things with which we are dealing in daily life. It is human nature that they do not have complete confidence in the subjective or relative things, in the modern day of today the objective things are preferred and trusted more than the subjective things. Mathematics helps us to have an objective view of the different things we are dealing with. It helps us in making calculations about the things which are not physically developed like for buildings before construction. We do calculations and ensure if their design is safe or not, similarly mathematics helps us to plan things for future either is any production environment for products or services. It helps us to have an idea that how much earning or spending has been done and would it be beneficial to do a certain activity or not. In today's world mathematics is being applied everywhere like in the economy of a country, construction of buildings, marking and evaluation of persons. It would be appropriate to say that mathematics has helped a lot in achieving the fast speed life with all its comforts and delights.

 Living a life unknowing 'Maths' would be living in random oblivion. Mathematics is primarily used for the purpose of scientific calculation of figures and objects. In real life the use of Mathematics can be applicable to every aspect, field, profession and subject etc. In IT field, in Statistics, in Accounts, in Algebra, in Geometry, for instance, Mathematics is used for calculating, multiplying, subtracting, division, differentiating, manipulating and managing the data in desired form. In other professions Mathematics can merely be used for the calculation of currency, recording the profits and loss. In ordinary life Mathematics can be used for the calculation of any specific or general sort. Concisely it can be said that Mathematics can be used for the authentic and scientific variation between and calculation of numbers, amounts, quantities etc; measurements of the frequencies of light and sound, of distance .

 Maths is all around us. It is present in different forms; it is very important that we take note of it. Things are measured or accurate due to maths. Mathematics has a prominent role to play in our daily life. We even didn't realize that maths is involves in every sort of activities. Whenever we pick up the phone, manage the money, travel to some other place, unintentionally in all these things maths is involved. If we are quick at mental arithmetic, it will help you a lot in saving hundreds of pounds or dollars in the supermarket. And if you have knowledge of statistics it will help you see through the baloney (non sense, lies) in television adverts or newspapers. You can also understand different kinds of information about the football or cricket team. Even simple maths equations are just around us, like spherical shapes of soap bubbles, ripples on the surface of water. Maths help engineer in making different shapes with geometrical shape the structure of the building was not possible. The beauty of maths is not only around us but a strong know how of maths help us in every day life too. Just start looking around you and you will find that how maths is help full to you in your life.

 Applications of Mathematical Knowledge in the Workplace

What are in the Singapore secondary syllabus and textbooks are mostly arithmetical applications such as profit and loss, discount, commission, interest rates, hire purchase, money exchange and taxation. But what about workplace uses of algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus? Usually, many of these applications are beyond the level of most students. However, this section will illustrate some suitable real-life applications which teachers can discuss with their students.
