Mathematics is all
around us, math has an important role in our life. Math itself express almost
everywhere in our life. We use math skill everywhere without realizing. We use
mathematical tools everywhere from kitchen to office and school to the
playground. Even a simple man user math in his daily life. Most of us start our
day with math, How many more minute I can sleep, How much time is left for the
meeting? If a housewife going to buy groceries she would need to use basic math
concepts.
Most of the students
have math phobia. It would be a great idea if the math tutor realizes the
students how math is useful in our daily life. Even the math helper can use real
life examples to teach students. To make any dish we need to use math concepts,
to measure the ingredients, to mix the ratios of each ingredient together to
from a dish that has the correct balance for the perfect taste.
If the math tutors
change their teaching technique, then it will be helpful to the students. If
they stop following text book examples and give daily life examples then the
math will really fun for the students. Students will get to know the importance
of math and then the phobia can convert into the interest.
Mathematics express
itself everywhere, in almost every facts of life in nature all around us, and
in the technologies in our hands. Mathematics is the language of science and
engineering describing our understanding of all that we observe. It is the
handwriting on the human consciousness of the very spirit of life itself.
When you look around
you, do you see any geometric patterns or shapes? Here again, human-made
designs like the rectangular shape of this magazine don’t count. But try
throwing a pebble, and watch the beautiful shape that nature makes for its
trajectory!
The trajectories of
anything you throw have the same shape, called an upside-down parabola. When we
observe how things move around in orbits in space, we discover another
recurring shape: the ellipse. Moreover, these two shapes are related: The tip
of a very elongated ellipse is shaped almost exactly like a parabola. So, in
fact, all of these trajectories are simply parts of ellipses.
We humans have gradually
discovered many additional recurring shapes and patterns in nature, involving
not only motion and gravity, but also electricity, magnetism, light, heat,
chemistry, radioactivity and subatomic particles. These patterns are summarized
by what we call our laws of physics. Just like the shape of an ellipse, all
these laws can be described using mathematical equations.
Equations aren’t the
only hints of mathematics that are built into nature: There are also numbers.
As opposed to human creations like the page numbers in this magazine, I’m now
talking about numbers that are basic properties of our physical reality.
There’s something very
mathematical about our universe, and the more carefully we look, the more math
we seem to find.
