Maths in Day to Day Life

Maths is all around us, it is everywhere we go.

Not only does Maths underline every process and pattern that occurs in the world around us, but also, a good understanding of it will help enormously in our every day life.

How Algebra is Useful?

Suppose we appoint a person for some work we give him 2 options:

Say :i. Rs 100/- per dayii.Rs 50/- per first day, then increase of Rs 5/-

per the summing days. Which is better?

For ex.i. 30 x 100 = 3000 P.Mii. 50 + d = S30 = 30 2 x 50 + (30 -1) 5

2 = 15 [ 100 + 29 x 5] = 15 x 245 = 3675

Statistics

• Collection • Analysis• Interpretation or Explanation• Presentation of Data• Prediction• Forecasting

Geographical interpretation Quality Engineering statistics Analysis of data from chemistry Sports (Cricket/Baseball) Statistical survey Business statistics

How the concept of Mean, Median & Mode are used in daily life?

A shopkeeper keeps more stock of a particular type of shoe which has more sale. Here the concept of MODE applies.

The average daily expenditure in a month of a family gives the concept of MEAN.

If 15 people of different heights are standing height-wise, then the middle man’s height is the MEDIAN height.

Calculus

It is the study of changeIt includes limits, derivatives, integrals and

infinite series.It helps us to find the area of figures, to know

the acceleration of a car moving in a highway with a uniform speed. Also, the movement of an artificial satellite, ship etc.

Number Theory

It is the branch of pure Maths concerned with properties of numbers.

It is used for creating codes for ATM/ Credit Cards.

Graph Theory

It is the study of graph.To find the easy route that can be used by a

sailor from one port to another.

The best way to reach all the port is shown by the arrows

Geometry

Study of shape, size, relative position of figures with properties of space.

House buildingTo find the floor area- this is needed for

finding area of carpet or number of tiles.

MechanicsIt is concerned with the behaviour of physical

bodies subject to forces or displacements.For example: Maximum distance a football can

go when kicked by the goal keeper at an angle of 45°.

NATURE

SunflowerSeashell- square root of numbers (√1, √2, √3,

√4…)Fibonacci sequence
