How does math help in education?

Answer 1

Mathematics (colloquially, maths or math) is the academic discipline that deals with such concepts as quantity, structure, space, and change. It evolved, through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, from counting, calculation, measurement, and the study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Mathematicians explore such concepts, aiming to formulate new conjectures and establish their truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.[1]

Knowledge and use of basic mathematics have always been an inherent and integral part of individual and group life. Refinements of the basic ideas are visible in ancient mathematical texts originating in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and ancient India, with increased rigour later introduced by the ancient Greeks. From this point on, the development continued in short bursts until the Renaissance period of the 16th century where mathematical innovations interacted with new scientific discoveries leading to an acceleration in understanding that continues to the present day.[2]

Today, mathematics is used throughout the world in many fields, including science, engineering, medicine and economics. The application of mathematics to such fields, often dubbed applied mathematics, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries and has sometimes led to the development of entirely new disciplines. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics for its own sake without having any practical application in mind, although applications for what begins as pure mathematics are often discovered later on

Answer 2

As well as teaching mathematics, which is needed in everyday life for tasks such as figuring how long it will take to get somewhere, or balancing a checkbook, and calculating change, mathematics also teaches the basics of logic. It teaches how to approach a problem in a methodical manner.

Fractions teach ratios, which are also useful in music. Mathematics is essential in the sciences, business, engineering, and is even useful in art. Basically, it is a foundation skill, without which many other subjects are difficult or impossible fully learn.

Answer 3

maths help in education in very great way. as v no that 2day in every field there is needs of calculations & all. so every where there is a need of great & brilliant people to solve all mathamatical problems. so by studying maths one can enter in many fields and can do jobs. it also increases our ability of our mind. suppose u r good in many sub but not in maths u will face many problems regarding calculations, accounts. sometimes math make us feel enjoy . it is not difficult only we thinks that it is difficult as when v r able to perform it nicely v will enjoy really i m telling as i luv this subject.
