LIFE WITHOUT MATH?
Living a life without Maths would be like living in null and void. In real life, the use of Mathematics can be applied to every aspect, field, profession and subject including the IT field, Statistics, Accounts, Algebra, Geometry etc. Precisely it can be said that Mathematics can be used for calculations and finding variations within numbers, amounts, quantities etc; measurements of the frequencies of light, sound, and distance.
Mathematics helps us to have an objective view by quantifying all the visible and invisible things with which we are dealing in daily life. It helps us in reckoning things which are not physically developed, like buildings before construction, to ensure if their design is safe or not. Mathematics helps us to have an idea that how much earning or spending has been done and whether would it be favourable to do a certain activity or not. Mathematics is now being applied everywhere like in the economy of a country, the construction of buildings, marking and evaluation of persons. Mathematics is at the core of all technologies, its used everywhere. In short, we are using mathematics in some form or another everywhere in our daily lives.
Math is a kind of tough subject for kids but if we learn only the formulas we can easily score marks and it will help us more in other fields of science like chemistry and physics which contains more formulas than math.
WORLD WITHOUT MATH?
The existence of mathematics is intrinsic to not just human lives, but the entire process of the Universe.We find mathematical equations right from the sea shell to plant geometry to the ratio of galaxies. So life without mathematics would mean no one or nothing exists. Life without mathematics would mean a world completely devoid of medical science, rocket science, astrophysics and space science. NASA, CERN, ISRO and so on would go extinct.
You were taught addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in your primary classes. Since then, you
have been applying these elementary concepts to learn new concepts. Can you solve a question of simple interest, highest common factor, percentage, area, volume, algebra, calculus, trigonometry, etc., without using these concepts? Every topic in maths is based on these basic concepts. It is when the basic elementary concepts are not clear that we fail to apply these concepts to our newly learned ones.
SO, WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT WITHOUT MATH WE CAN’T LIVE, WITHOUT MATH NOTHING
EXISTS.
