IntroductionIntroductionWhen we buy a car, follow a recipe, or

decorate our home, we're using math principles.

Human beings didn't invent math concepts; we discovered them

The language of math is numbers, not English or German or Russian.

Math can help us to shop wisely, buy the right insurance, remodel a home within a budget, understand population growth etc.

RATIO AND PROPORTIONSRATIO AND PROPORTIONSA ratio expresses the magnitude of

quantities relative to each otherThe quantities being compared in a

ratio might be physical quantities such as speed or temperature, or may simply refer to amounts of particular objects

To create dishes with good flavor, consistency, and texture, the various ingredients must have a kind of relationship to one another

Dilution in biology

In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one.

The golden ratio is often denoted by the Greek letter phi usually lower case (φ).

GOLDEN RATIO is used in:Geometrical analysisArchitects, artists, book designers use

the golden ratio Leonardo da Vinci’s illustrations of

polyhedra =1.6180339887φ

A = l * b in other words, "area equals length times width." This formula is used to determine the area of a rectangle or square

A = (pi) x r2. This formula means "area equals pi times the radius squared.”

SAVINGS AND CREDITSAVINGS AND CREDIT

There are two basic kinds of interest: simple and compound interest.

With some maths smarts and an understanding of simple and compound interest, you can manage the way your money grows .The formula for simple interest is;

I = PrtWhere,

I = interestP = principalr = interest rate (per year)t = time (in years or fraction of a year)

Formula for calculating compound interest: A=P(1+r/n)nt

Where, P = principal amount (initial investment)

r = annual nominal interest rate (as a decimal)

n = number of times the interest is compounded per year

t = number of years A = amount after time t

Exponential growthExponential growth

Exponential growth (including exponential decay) occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value.

Maths also help us in understanding population growth, growth of microorganisms

A family tree

Population grows in the same way that money grows when it's left to compound interest in a bank

A crucial difference between money and population is that money can increase without limits while population can't.

A quantity x depends exponentially on time t if

x(t) = a. bt/T

where the constant a is the initial value of x,

x(0)=a

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSIONMathematics is the only language shared by

all human beings regardless of culture, religion, or gender.

With this universal language, all of us, no matter what our unit of exchange, are likely to arrive at math results the same way

This math literacy is called numeracy, and it is this shared language of numbers that connects us with people across continents and through time

With this language we can explain the mysteries of the universe or the secrets of DNA

We can build computers and transfer information across the globe.

SOCIAL APPLICATIONSSOCIAL APPLICATIONSMath is not just for calculus majors. It's

for all of us. And it's not just about pondering imaginary numbers or calculating difficult equations. It's about making better daily decisions and, hopefully, leading richer, fuller lives.
