SOME COMMON VIEWS OF MATHEMATICS
MATHS IS HARD
MATHS IS BORING
MATHS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL LIFE
BUT I CAN SHOW YOU THAT MATHS IS IMPORTANT IN
EVERYDAY LIFE AND CRIME DETECTION MEDICINE
sports FINDING LANDMINES
AND MANY OTHER CAREERS!!!!!!!!!
A.COOKING, B.GROCERY SHOPPING.
C.DIET.
D.BUDJET.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE USES OF MATHEMATICS IN OUR DAILY LIFE.BY SEEING ITSELF,WE CAN UNDERSTAND MATHEMATICS PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR DAILY LIFE.
HOW MATHS WILL GET YOU ON TV
PICTURES AND IMAGES ARE ALL AROUND US
• TV
• DVD
• COMPUTER GRAPHICS
• SPECIAL EFFECTS
IMAGES ARE STORED AS NUMBERS – bitmap
USING THESE NUMBERS WE CAN PROCESSTHE PICTURES BY USING MATHEMATICS
They look for skid marks and measure them. Then use a certain formula S= 15.9 √df To figure out if the accident was preventable. Helps find the quickest route to a citizen in
trouble. (Geometry)Find out how many crooks you need to bust
to make your town twice as safe.(Algebra) In order to become a cop you need to pass a
test and math is required.(fact)
Maths and crime: Deblurring a number plate
A short crime story
• Burglar robs a bank
• Escapes in a getaway car
• Pursued by police
GOOD NEWS
Police take a photo
BAD NEWS
Photo is blurred
SOLUTION
Find a model of the blurring process

• Inverting the formula we can get rid the blur

MATHS AND MEDICINE
Modern medicine has been transformed by methods of seeing
Inside you without cutting you open!
• Ultra sound: sound waves
• MRI: magnetism
• CAT scans: X rays
ALL USE MATHS TO WORK!!

Lots of mathematicians work in medicine
This has been physics and engineering so far, but we are now ready to This has been physics and engineering so far, but we are now ready to add the MATH! add the MATH!

Mathematics is a subject that is included in each and every field that we do whether it is subject, cooking or any sports.
Topics that we will discuss

International Cricket Council (I.C.C) hasn't the fixed dimension of cricket field how big a cricket ground should be but, it has indicated the minimum range of a ground. A cricket ground should be minimum of diameter 137.16 meters(nearly minimum 68.5 from pitch to boundary) on the square of the pitch where as the shortest boundary should be 65 yards (nearly 59.50 meters) and longest boundary should be 90 yards(82.29 meters) from center of cricket pitch to the boundary which obviously made a cricket ground a elliptical in shape in most cases.
A cricket ball is between 8 13/16 and 9 inches (22.4cm and 22.9cm) in circumference, and weighs between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces (155.9g and 163g)
The bat. The bat is no more than 38 inches (96.5cm) in length, and no more than 4.25 inches (10.8 cm) wide. The hand or glove holding the bat is considered part of the bat.
Like all sports rankings, cricket ratings involve some math's. In this case, they use a mathematical technique known as exponential weighting for comparing the bats man.
Suppose now you consider the case of Virat and Raina
both of these players have scored 150 runs in five matches, so their average score per match is 150/5 = 30.
However these score are not accurate when you look at the score from starting and when you find its average you will find that Kohli score is more than that of Raina and this is what we call it as exponential average
FINALE: USING MATHS TO FIND
ANTI-PERSONEL LAND MINES
Land mines are hidden in foliage and triggered by trip wires
Land mines are well hidden .. we can use maths to find them

Who says that maths isn’t relevant to real life?!?
Some interesting mathematical facts
Over 70% of all jobs require maths
On average maths graduates earn more than any other profession
Many degrees require maths including statistics, physics, engineering, economics, chemistry, medicine, IT, computer games, computer science, social-science, psychology, fashion design, business studies, accountancy, actuarial studies, electronics, aeronautics, cryptography,...
Without maths we would have no TV, mobile phones, Internet, credit cards, computer games, CDs, Radar, aeroplanes, DNA profiling, …
Maths is vital working out your mortgage payments, APR calculations, family budget
You can make a lot of difference in this world. If you study math because it’s gives you the basis to do all kinds of new things to make all kind of discoveries and make an impact in your life in the life of your family and friends and to those many other people you always wanted to help.
If you know mathematics you can do that you want..
With out mathematics you can’t live in this world…
