3. “IN THIS PRESENTATION WE ARE AIMING TO
SHOW THE IMPORTANCE OF MATHEMATICS IN
OUR LIFE.”
4. • The word “MATHEMATICS” comes from the Greek
word mathema, which means “that which is
learnt”.
• ARISTOTLE defined mathematics as “the science
of quantity and figures”.
• Mathematics arises from many different kinds of
problems. At first these were found in commerce,
land measurement and later astronomy; today, all
sciences suggest problem studied my
mathematician.
5. • Galileo Galilei said , “The universe cannot be read
until we have learned the language and become
familiar with the characters which is written in
mathematical language.”
• Maths has been defined in many ways
throughout the ages . Today , maths is an
inevitable part of life. Applied maths has
always been leading to important discoveries
and giving birth to new disciplines.
8. Aryabhata was the one who added ‘0’
to maths.
He also gave the accurate value of pi
up to 8 digits.
Aryabhata, an Indian mathematician living in the 6th century,
discovered, or perhaps rediscovered, the formula for the area of an
isosceles triangle between the 4th and 13th centuries other Hindus
and Muslims used their geometric knowledge to establish and make
advances in the field of trigonometry.
9. • Bhaskara supplied the correct answer for division by zero as
well as rules for operating with irrational numbers.
• In the 9th century, Jain mathematician Mahavira stated rules
for operations with zero.
• Napier gave the Logarithmic table after
having a deep study of mathematics of
Indian system.
10. • Carl Friedrich Gauss
German mathematician Carl
Friedrich Gauss contributed to
many areas of mathematics,
including probability theory,
algebra, and geometry. In his
doctoral thesis he proved that
every polynomial has at least one
root, or solution; this theory
became known as the
fundamental theory of algebra.
Gauss also applied his
mathematical work to theories of
electricity and magnetism. The
magnetic unit of intensity is
named in his honor.
11. Euclid
Euclid was a Greek
mathematician who lived
around 300 BC . He wrote
Elements, a 13-volume work
on the principles of
geometry and properties of
numbers.
12. Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
• Their work ranks as the crowning achievement of
17th-century mathematics. Calculus allowed the
solution of many problems that had been previously
insoluble, including the determination of the laws of
motion and the theory of electromagnetism.
13. • Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887 - 1920)
Famously known as “A MAN WHO NEW INFINITY”.
Once the mathematician G. H. Hardy had
referred to the number—1729—
on the back of a taxi cab, as "dull”.
But he said,” No, it is a very interesting
number, it is the smallest number
expressible as a sum of two cubes in
two different ways.
The two ways are 1³+ 12³ or 9³ + 10³.
14. Shakuntala Devi
• She was an Indian writer and mental calculator thus
Also known as ‘Human Computer’ .
• She was asked to give the 23rd root of a 201-digit
number; she answered in 50 seconds. Her
answer—546,372,891—was confirmed by
calculations done at the U.S. Bureau of Standards
by the UNIVAC 1101 computer, for which a special
program had to be written to perform such a large
calculation.
• She demonstrated the multiplication of two 13-
digit numbers—7,686,369,774,870 ×
2,465,099,745,779.She correctly answered
18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730 in 28
seconds. This event is mentioned in the
1982 Guinness Book of Records.

16. Math is everywhere and yet, we may not
recognize it because it doesn't look like the
math we did in school.
Math in the world around us sometimes seems
invisible.
But math is present in our world all the time--
in the workplace, in our homes, and in life in
general.
Lets see how much it is involved in per day to
day life……
17. Maths in Commercial Usage
• Discount
• Banking
• Foreign Exchange
• Stock and Share
18. Discount
> Offers during festival
seasons .
> If you buy Many, get one
free/two free.
>If you buy for more
amount, more discount.
Banking
Transaction in Maths
Stocks and Bonds
All these are nothing but
Maths!!
Foreign Exchange
Market What are the rates
of each currency when
compared to Indian Rupees?
Stock and Share
Stocks are sold by
Brokers.
CP = Market value + Brokerage
19.
20. How Algebra is Useful?
To understand the important of algebra in our life,
lets take a example….
Suppose we appoint a person for some work we give him
2 options: Say :
i. Rs 100/- per day
ii.Rs 50/- per first day, then increase of Rs 5/-per the
summing days.
Which is better ????
21.
22. 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.
23. Calculus
It is the study of change.
It 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.
Newton and Gottfried Leibniz are usually credited with the
invention of calculus.
Newton used calculus in his laws of motion and gravitational
attraction.
24. Application of probability
Aristotle said, “The probable is what usually happens.” You can’t predict the
future,
but you can use mathematical probability to determine how likely it is that
something will – or won’t -- happen.
We talk about the probability/chance of getting a certain result everyday. E.g.,
we say, "There is 90% chance (probability) that there will be rain today.“here
we are using probability.
Casino owners aren’t in the business to lose money. The odds are in their favor.
Gamblers play the games, in hopes of defying those odds. In the game of
blackjack, a player has a 1 in 20 chance of getting 21, a "blackjack." The
probability is 5 percent.again probability.
The Canadian 6/49 Lottery has 6 numbers drawn from a total of 49 balls with the
numbers 1 through 49 on them. You must use the formula for permutations and
combinations to figure out the probability of getting all 6 numbers in the correct
order. The answer would be that the number of ways of choosing 6 numbers
from 49 is49C6 = 13, 983, 816 . Therefore the probability of winning the lottery
is 1/13983816 = 0.000 000 071 5 (3sf), which is about a 1 in 14 million chance!
25. In field of chemistry while balancing
the Chemical equation ,
mathematical concept of ratios
and proportion is utilized.
In field of Physics again like
Mechanics ,mathematics
Faciliates the conversion
Of physical principle into relations
To derive result and proofs.
Uses of Mathematics
In other subjects
In field of computer, the
Binary language ,the only one
computer understand
,comprises of 0 and 1.
Moreover ,some logics of
mathematics are utilized in
programming.
Mathematics serves as a important
Tool in making calculations in
Field of Astromomy,Astrophysics,
Astrology Etc.
26. Use of Mathematics
in
Mechanics.
Mechanics is a branch of physics which deals with study
, concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies
Subjected to forces or displacements .
Mathematics provide a aid to transform concept of
Mechanics in equations and notation to derive results.
.For example: Maximum distance a football can go when
kicked by the goal keeper at an angle of 45°.This is derived
By combine utilization of Mathematics and mechanics.
27. Mathematics In Projection
• For accurate delineation of large areas on a
small scale, a number of called projections
have been developed mathematically. Maps
based on mathematical computation
represent the entire earth in circles, ovals, or
other shapes. Mathematical Techniques are
used by Google Earth to represent 3-
dimensional objects on a 2-dimensional
screen.
28. Mathematics in Astronomy
The journey to the Moon is shown as a yellow line,
while the return trip is indicated by a blue line.
Space travel would be impossible without precise
mathematical calculations of acceleration,
distance, gravitational pull, friction.
29. INVOLVEMENT OF
MATHEMATICS IN
DAY TO DAY LIFE
At Home
While making food or other dishes
ratio is involved.
Eg- 1/2 cup water +1/2 cup milk+
1 teaspoon sugar +1teaspoon tea= 1 cup tea
In Travel
Travellers often consider their miles-per-gallon
when fuelling up for daily trips,
but they might need to calculate a
new when faced with obstructionist
detours and consider the cost in
miles, time and money

31. Conclusion
As we come to the end of our presentation we
have seen the origin of maths and its versatile
involvement in our daily life. Through this we may
conclude that mathematics is required for literate
as well as for illiterate persons. The former one
uses in the field of research whereas later one
uses it for simple daily calculations.
32. • From the ancient times Indians like Aryabhata,
Bhaskara etc played a crucial role in the field of
mathematical research and statistics.Even in the
present age the people like Narendra Karmakar,
C.S. Sheshadri are still contributing so it is our
sole duty to take this prestige heritage to a higher
level.
• Mathematics is a subject that not only develops
the aptitude or thinking ability of a person but
also it helps in boosting up his confidence and
personality.
• At last but not the least………………

34. So, lets us thanks
mathematics for
making our life
simpler and
easy……………
