APPLICATIONS

OF
MATHEMATICS
At Home
Setting an alarm and hitting snooze,
they may quickly need to calculate the new time they will
arise.

Or they might step on a


bathroom scale and decide that they’ll skip those extra
calories at lunch.

People on medication need to


understand different dosages, whether in grams or
milliliters.

Recipes call for ounces and


cups and teaspoons --all measurements, all math.
In Travel
Travelers often
consider their miles-per-gallon when fueling up for daily
trips, but they might need to calculate anew when faced
with obstructionist detours and consider the cost in
miles, time and money.

Air travelers need


to know departure times and arrival schedules. They also
need to know the weight of their luggage unless they
want to risk some hefty baggage surcharges.

Once on board,
they might enjoy some common aviation-related math
such as speed, altitude and flying time.
At School and Work
Students can’t avoid math -- most take
it every day. However, even in history and English
classes they may need to know a little math. Whether
looking at time expanses of decades, centuries or eras
or calculating how they’ll bring that B in English to an A,
they’ll need some basic math skills.

Jobs in business and finance


may require sophisticated knowledge of how to read
profit and earning statements or how to decipher graph
analyses. However, even hourly earners will need to
know if their working hours times their rate of pay
accurately reflects their paychecks.
At the Store
Whether buying coffee or a car,
basic principles of math are in play.

Purchasing decisions
require some understanding of budgets and the cost and
affordability of items from groceries to houses.

Short-term decisions may


mean only needing to know cash-at-hand, but bigger
purchases may require knowledge of interest rates and
amortization charts.

Finding a mortgage may be


much different than choosing a place to have lunch, but
they both cost money and require math.

everything on your cell phone, from talking and faxing to
In the kitchen

Baking and cooking requires some


mathematical skill as well. Every ingredient has to be
measured and sometimes you need to multiply or divide to
get the exact amount you need. Whatever you do in the
kitchen requires math. Even just using the stove is basic

them out or even make holes. So even without thinking you

Without a diary we will crash and burn. Some people even
have to make appointments to take some time out. Math is a
much needed skill in today's life.

Every outing you plan
needs your math skill. Whether you go to the beach or the
zoo is irrelevant. You will plan your way there and you will
use your time wisely, math is your guide that will assist you
and help you. When driving you need fuel, oil and water,
without it your car will break down. All of these require math.
Banking
Can you imagine going to the

manage your finances. This will cause a huge disaster in your
life, and you will be bankrupt within hours.

Planning dinner parties


How about that inevitable
dinner party or cocktail that you have to host. Planning is
essential, how many guests are attending, what foods are
you serving, the ambience of the place where you want to
host it and so many other essentials all requiring
multiplication, division and subtraction
Decorating your home
Whether you are painting, doing the flooring
or just acquiring new furniture, you need
math to make your sums add up. Everything
you do inside or outside of your home needs
math skills. From accessories to a new
swimming pool and putting in new lighting.

Statistics
Every
basic thing we use in life consist of history.
That means statistics. Taking into account
the past and the future, and keeping record
of what has been done. Without statistics we
won't know what worked and what didn't. It
helps us to find balance and structure.
