@op, it would be good if you tell us how they apply in the world

Did it change the fact that World will come to an end??

Do you know that since about 1600 when Europe started paying more attention to the discovery of those equations the human life span has literally doubled?
Do you know how fundamental calculus is to economics? Or is there anything that affects a nation more than its economy?
Do you know that without Laplace transform and the equation on information theory the internet won't happen?
The oldest of those equations up there is the Pythagoras equation. That is just too fundamental to finding unknown distances in the days when Europeans were taking over other lands in the world?

A=πr^2 was supposed to be on that list.

Negative numbers turning people insane since 2100 BC.

Imagine doing analysis of Complex numbers in Z2 plane.
You go die

When I saw the thread heading, I knew Pythagoras would be the #1. That eqn birthed the geometry aspect of mathematics.

Let me tell you a story.

When I was in js2, I left the school hostel and travelled home. Unfortunately, I met no one at home as my parents travelled (there was no handset then). I had to return to school the next morning after sleeping in my neighbours place. I didn't have a dime left on me as I had hoped to get some cash from home. On getting to the bus stop, I pleaded with a passenger to allow me sit on his laps so i wont have to pay transport fare. It was a small car, owned by young lad who wanted to make quick cash. When the car got moving, he insisted that i pay inasmuch as i wasnt occupying any seat. The passengers were furious at him.

After few minutes of arguing, he said that if only his passengers were science students, they will understand that irrespective of the fact that I wasn't occupying a seat, I still need to pay. That was the last thing he said, he didn't collect money from me but that statement stuck to my mind.

It wasn't until ss2 when I studied Newton's laws of motion that I understood perfectly what the young driver meant. Especially the mathematical derivatives of Newton's 2nd law where F = ma. It became clear that for the moving car under constatn acceleration, more force (fuel) would be needed if the mass increases. I was increasing the sum total of mass,m in his car and as such, he would need to burn more fuel to maintain acceleration.

Mathematic eqns become more interesting when it is applied; that is why engineering is the best course to study. Application of mathematical and science principles become alive when you design your first plant

nice post for people like me!!!

Mat 402 Partial differential equation..
Thats how Prof Adeniyi asked us to derive D'alemberts wave equation.
Eyes con dey red for inside exam hall.

What I meant was that the op should write of its application in real world, it will make lay men appreciate the topic more and can even make fp

that Pythagoras theorem....

That number 12 is wrong!

Clausius not boltmann discovered that entropy is never decreasing.

I have a rationale that could disprove a corollary of the second law of thermodynamics. It's being in my head since my uni days. If I release this rationale, I fear it would render Equation 12 on that list invalid and create constant energy which would be a terrible thing for mankind.

I keep wondering why those math courses have simply-silly names: partial differential equations: you go think say the course go easy as na 'partial' and not complete. Na so we do one mat201 course wey dem call 'ordinary differential equations'. O'boy, there's nothing ordinary in that course. Na so so 2nd, 3rd and 4th derivatives full that course. Person never finish first derivative, na to dey struggle with 2nd, 3rd and 4th; that wan na die.

Have you noticed that the final solutions to those differential equations are more complex than the original problem? How then is that a solution? You solve a simple linear differential eqn and your answer becomes quotients of complex numbers, how is that a solution?

Na waoh!

The beauty of math is in it's complexity,

The appreciation of math is in it's application,

The understanding of math is proportional to galactic discovery.

math! the course i wish never existed, make papa God Roast Them Pythagoras And Him Guys Those Damn Mathematicians.

Posts like this should make it to Frontpage. Rather, we will end up seeing posts like "Davido's new sunglasses" etc first.

You should like maths. It's fun and changes how people think.

Everything you have typed on the Internet is mathematically encoded. So God might roast you first

"Seriously Maths is cool" well thats what they told me..

how i pass math 101 is still a misery to me till today..

looking at those equation above is just like reading Alien inscription.. am already feeling sleepy.

well we are all cut out for different things...
but i am very sure i will understand it if it carries currencies sign on them e.g # $ et al..

are lookin to buy from Aliexpress and pay on delivery? check my thread

Click like your u can tell us the time and share if u can

solve the rest

And also give me headache

but it cannot change Buhari health and nigeria

I like math


Solving it makes me feel alive

E=MC^2 is not on the list. that's another powerful (Physics) Maths equation.

Why wait? Release it, moreover isn't that what mankind has also done? The world is waiting

Op, looks to me like the world hasn't changed very much.

Maths dear, do you know I've got phobia for you?
