Mathematics helps predict the behavior of nature and

phenomena in the world.

What we see today in the modern world which all appears to be controlled by the rules of
mathematics is the culmination of a lot of experimentation, observation and error correction.
This, by the way, is still going on. By way of example, the earth used to be flat and was the
center of the universe. Everything that we could see has orbited earth. But eventually, through
observation and testing it became clear that earth and several other planets moved around the
sun. Eventually the mathematical tools were invented to describe these natural motions. Now
we had a language to express what we could observe in nature. And we quickly found out that
there were unexplained phenomena occurring that couldn’t be explained by the calculations.
This led to the discovery of other planets which we had never seen, but mathematics allowed us
to postulate and discover (which also validated the mathematical model). So you can see
through this simple example, nature has always behaved as nature behaves. Over time we
develop the mathematical language to describe what we observe and using that language we
develop predictions of behavior which are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. Us humans
have been at this game for quite a while, so we’ve gotten pretty good at it which makes it
appear as if mathematical tools can predict a lot about the world; but believe me, there are still a
lot of mysteries out there for which we don’t yet have the equations.

Mathematics can be used to explain how something reoccurs in nature. I imagine

Mathematics is helpful especially when seeking to explain the limitless feeling one gets
when contemplating the natural world that exists outside ourselves. The logic of any idea that
can be explained in words can be reinforced mathematically to reach & persuade a larger
audience about its concurrency with natural phenomena, its economic applicability & it's
business potential.

How can we say that Mathematics can help predict the behavior of nature and phenomena in
the world?

Predicting the size, location, and timing of natural hazards is virtually impossible, but
because of the help of Mathematics we are able to forecast calamities such as hurricanes,
floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and landslides etc. Using mathematical tools
we create models which correspond to what we can measure and observe in the world of
reality.
 Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the
conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time. Human beings have attempted to
predict the weather informally for millennia and formally since the 19th century.

How can we all know or predict what will be the weather tomorrow, next week, next
month and so on?

Mathematicians play an important role in this process, working with a set of equations
that describe the atmosphere, taking into account temperature, pressure and humidity. Global
Circulation Models (GCMs) describe the interactions between oceans and atmosphere to look at
what the average conditions could be in decades to come.

Meteorologists at NOAA’s National Weather Service have always monitored the conditions
of the atmosphere that impact the weather, but over time the equipment they use have
changed. As technology advanced, our scientists began to use more efficient equipment to
collect and use additional data. These technological advances enable our meteorologists to
make better predictions faster than ever before. These are some tools used by meteorologists
to forecast the weather.

First, Doppler radar is the meteorologist’s window into observing severe storms. With
159 radar towers across the United States, NOAA’s National Weather Service has
comprehensive coverage of the continental U.S. and partial coverage of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico and Guam. Doppler radar detects all types of precipitation, the rotation of thunderstorm
clouds, airborne tornado debris, and wind strength and direction.

Weather Satellites monitor Earth from space, collecting observational data our scientists
analyze. NOAA operates three types of weather satellites. Polar orbiting satellites orbit the Earth
close to the surface, taking six or seven detailed images a day. Geostationary satellites stay
over the same location on Earth high above the surface taking images of the entire Earth as
frequently as every 30 seconds. Deep space satellites face the sun to monitor powerful solar
storms and space weather. NOAA also uses data from satellites operated by other agencies
and countries.

Mathematics has paved the way of detection and early prevention of calamities which
can be deadly and dangerous for everyone. In addition, mathematics explains how and when
will be the occurrence of certain phenomena which is helpful for us to get ready or to be aware
of what is going to happen. It provides us a decent amount of time to save ourselves from
calamities that can either destroy our homes or take lives. Mathematics paved the way of
informing and early warning detection for us to be safe and to be ready no matter what calamity
is going to occur.

Using mathematical tools we create models which correspond to what we can measure
and observe in the world of reality. Models that work really well, that predict behaviors in the
counterpart to the model which have not yet been observed, these are taken as "laws of nature"
Occasionally, the mathematics of laws describing phenomena not considered related reveal
surprising unanticipated relationships. Mathematics provides the framework within which our
observations of the physical world can be encoded. It goes beyond being merely descriptive
when it exposes relationships that integrate disparate subjects.

We began by observing natural phenomena and discovering the mathematical rules that
describe their motions and interactions. We watch objects rolling down a ramp, and see what
rules the motion obeys. Then we watch objects sliding down, perhaps, the same ramp and get
the rule for that motion. We watch the motions of the planets, the speed of falling objects, the
attraction of magnets, the interactions between magnets and wires, the behavior of an object
inside of a falling elevator, the flow of water through a pipe, the paths of light through a prism,
and many more. We formulate mathematical rules for all of these.

Then we turn around and apply those rules to other situations. The rules fit because they
were all derived from nature. The same rules that described the motion of the earth around the
sun also describe the motion of a space station around the earth. The same rule that describes
the buoyancy of a cork in water also describes the buoyancy of a helium balloon in air. The
rules that describe the interference of light waves also describe the behavior of water waves.

This all works because the mathematics gets to the underlying essence of each
phenomenon.
