We use Math in our everyday lives.
And we also can’t deny that some people vote Math as their least favorite subject when they are studying.
But whether you noticed it or not, in our daily activities and routine, Math is there to help and guide us, may it be through business, travel, and most importantly with money.
The importance of Math and its vast uses in different fields of study such as Science has helped professionals to learn more about air, sea and discover mankind’s discoveries such as aerospace and other advanced technologies.
What is Mathematics?
Mathematics is a science that deals with shape, quantity, and arrangement which basically means that Math is everywhere your eyes can look. Thus, Math has become the head of any growing society and country and has been using as a reliable tool in measuring even before the revolution that led to this generation where Math is heavily used in upgrading the way of life of people.
Everyday Activities Which Use Mathematics
1. Cooking
In order to make a delicious and mouth-watering recipe for your friends, love ones, family, relatives, or customers, you need to measure the ingredients, thus use Math, in order to get the right amount.
2. Gardening
Math is also vital when it comes to taking care of your plants. When growing new seeds, you’ll have to measure their distance from each other and how many holes their pots need to have because everything will be put into waste if they will not grow properly, or worst just die because of improper measurements.
3. Arts
Photography, painting, dancing, or even sculpting requires Math to produce a breath-taking output. Although the concept of art is to express one’s feelings and/or emotions, it also requires calculation in order to make an even more compelling artwork that will definitely catch the audience’s attention.
4. Statistics
If it weren’t for Statistics, organizations such as government agencies wouldn’t be able to measure the needs of their people and what issues should be addressed and resolved right away. If it weren’t for Math, marketing firms will not know what are the needs and wants of their customers and how they will be encouraged to buy their products. It is through numbers that companies are able to grasp if they are making an impact to their target audience.
5. Travelling
Haven’t you notice how you convert currencies whenever you’re traveling abroad? Comparing how much it would cost in our country, thus still using Math? And even when going from place to place, we’re always measuring the distance and how much time it would take for you to reach the place if you’re going to do it by walking, hailing a cab, or riding public transportation.
