Education / Application Of Mathematics To Daily Lives by Philomath01(m): 1:40pm On Oct 21, 2018 |
Majority of you are wondering that, what will I gain from studying mathematics?, why must I study maths....check below to know the important of studying mathematics 1. CALCULUS Calculus is a concept used to calculate the smallest difference in a number. It is divided into differentiation and integration. You might have studied the concept deeper in your school or college. But have you ever wondered what it actually means and what it is used for? An architect uses calculus to calculate the materials required to construct curved structures such as domes and arches. Electrical engineers use it to calculate the length of power cables between places that are miles apart. Biologists use it to calculate the rate of growth in microbes etc. 2. ALGEBRA 'I know everybody's exes, other than algebra's 'x'.' If that was one of your statements while you were wondering what that 'x' had to do in your life, then here's the answer to that burning question! The study of DNA and genes can be better explained in terms of equations. Their properties can be easily deduced with the help of x and y chromosomes. In economics, x and y are used to determine the supply and demand of goods. In computer graphics (CG), x and y are used as coordinates to design objects and their movements. The famous game Mario was designed using 3D animation on CG. 3. TRIGONOMETRY Sine, cos, tan and cosec. What were all those names anyway?! Each one denotes an angular measurement. Trigonometric angles are used in the construction of marine ramps. They are used to spot a location for navigation. They are also used to determine the depth of algae underwater and sonar systems. 4. LOGARITHMS We all can write numbers up to 10 million. Beyond that, can you read the numbers at one go without actually re-reading and counting the zeros? Logarithms simplify complicated numbers through exponents and coefficients. Log tables help you to refer the corresponding numbers and make calculations less laborious. It is largely used in computing memory spaces and in computer languages. 5. PROBABILITY Probability is a concept we use in everyday life. 'Should I take a car or bus to office?' is something we ask ourselves on a regular basis, and we make the decision using probability. Probability basically tells you the chances of a specific occurrence of an event. The meticulous calculations can be used in determining big events such as the probability of you winning a jackpot or a lottery! 6. STATISTICS Statistics, like probability, is a more familiar concept. And like probability, we use statistics in our everyday lives. Population census is an epitome of statistics. To get the demographics of a sample size, statistics plays an important role with its various functions, like while determining average and mean estimates. 7. MATRICES Matrix is an array of elements processed according to specific needs. In robotic systems, matrices are used to control the movement of robots. Data structures and databases make use of this concept for an organised algorithm. 8. MENSURATION Mensuration is nothing but measurement of different units. From buying groceries to checking our weight, we use mensuration day in and day out. From determining the body temperature using a thermometer and a barometer to determining the weather, mensuration plays an integral role. et cetera.

Education / Mathematics Phobia, Causes And Solution by Philomath01(m): 1:30pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
Mathematics, which is commonly referred to as maths is from the Greek words, learning, study and knowledge. The major topics thought under mathematics include change, space, structure and quantity (numbers). This subject is disliked by most students, they condemned this subject which often causes phobia for them. Being sound in mathematics is a skill which can be developed, there are number of people who started out hating mathematics, through their determination to try and accept the fact that it is everywhere in whatever course they take, they learned it, and not only were they able to deal with it, they also learned from it and increased their earning power. Mathematics Phobia as the name implies is the fear of mathematics, fear that you can't understand mathematics, fear that mathematics is difficult, this in all way should be discouraged in our societies, mathematics is really fun and should be addressed as a simple subject. Causes of this mathematics Phobia includes but not limited to: - Method adopted by the teacher to teach the students - Student inability to process complicated concept in their brain - Poor teacher-student relationship - Assigning too many mathematics assignment to the student which may make the subject to be boring - Teacher inability to break down complicated concept into simpler forms - Non application of instructional materials while teaching the students - The use of abusive words by mathematics teachers - Students career choice - Students inadequate background in calculations - Students poor background in long procedures of solving mathematical problems. - The fear of public embarrassment: Math anxiety has also been linked to negative emotions from the past. If a student has been scolded for getting an answer wrong, it can make his or her anxiety worse. The same is true if he or she has been embarrassed in front of others. What are the likely symptoms of this Mathematics Phobia - Unusual nervousness: if you always seem nervous whenever you're doing mathematics or thinking about mathematics - Passive behaviours: You're either afraid of failure or simply thinking about math bring so many negative emotions that you're unwilling to try - A feeling of being alone: you feel that you are the only one incapable of finding the solutions even if the math is extremely simple - A feeling of permanency: you begin to believe that you are naturally bad at maths and will always be, so you give up trying to improve - Lack of confidence: you expect never to know the answer to math questions, so you depend on people (your friend) to do math for you - Panic during test or when called to answer question: the classroom becomes a major source of stress for you, especially when you are taking a text or expected to contribute in class. Nobody is born perfect, as I said earlier mathematics is a skill, what you just need is someone to enlighten you on how how to develop the skill, that's the reason why I will be urging you to join THE BRAINY FOX in their 7-day online tutorial, aimed at fighting mathematics phobia, you will learn the right techniques, the foundational topics in mathematics and also be motivated to known mathematics just for a token (amount used to subscribe for data or buy recharge card) To join, please message 07033748014 on whatsapp |
Religion / Re: Letter Of Covenant Written By Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) To All Christians by Philomath01(m): 6:40pm On Jan 12, 2018 |
Emmahunk: Kinda astonished that Muslims in this forum chooses to remain close mouthed! Questions to all christians! Please must you criticize?, I just don't understand why you tagged all Muslims as terrorists. Check this out! New International version But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.'"

Kill them in front of me.'" New American Standard 1977 “But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.” Jubilee Bible 2000 Moreover, those enemies of mine, who were unwilling that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

American Standard Version But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Douay-Rheims Bible But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me. Darby Bible Translation Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.

World English Bible But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'" Young's Literal Translation but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.' This verse is "LUKE 19 VERSE 27" That's what JESUS CHRIST commanded his followers to do! You won't tag that has terrorism! Prophet Muhammed fought many wars, but all the wars are defensive war, but he never instruct his followers to slaughter people like goat just because they didn't allow him to be prophet. I pray you understand! Waiting for critics! Allahu Mustahan |
