Maths is an undifferenciable part of our life as science is....
U walk from school to home n home to school.... Here u travel some distance. U can count this in numbers.... U take some time. Again u need numbers.. Now u can calculate ur speed.... U go to c a movie... U c the time in ur watch.... n when u come out u again notice the time...
U count the difference and get the duration of movie...
U go to market n purchase some goods... U can sum up the total n u can not b cheated by the grocer or shopkeeper...
U give an exam.... Get the result.... U divide ur total wid the total marks and multiply it by 100 n u get ur %age marks....
Some 1 asks u "R u ready? V r gettin late!" U say just '2 minutes'..... Again u r using maths.....
U have a plot and some 1 asks the area u tell him/her "Its 500m^2" Again u use maths.......
So remember that u can not live widout science n MATHS.......
Best of luck 4 essay!
God Bless!!!

Right now you're looking at a monitor that's perhaps a 15" or 17". That measurement goes across the diagonal, which means you need the Pythagorean theorem to get the horizontal or vertical dimensions. And to get to this site you had to type your username and password, which had to be encrypted using a mathematical formula so that hackers couldn't intercept it.

the start of day when we see the time were we use maths.
in cookin 1 cups of sugar, 3 cups of dal are also maths.like this in whatever we do maths is there. try to enjoy maths,you will enjoy life

trigonometry is used a lot in every day life for construction work and measuring angles so two planes to crash into each o ther.

Day to day mathematics relates complex number applications (particularly counts), which has promoted uneasy number applications! An anlysis of evolution, growth and current application of counts is given below which could be of help to you and to those who apply day to day counts!
It reveals adverse affects of "more counts" and how to arrest said evolution of more counts!
1) We can count forward from “a zero” by a-unit increase of number steps.
2) We can count backward from "a higher number" backward (towards zero) by a-unit decrease of number steps. “Logical ancient Indian minus sign” relates this fact.
3) We can count from zero backward by “a-unit decrease of number steps”, which are minus numbers. ‘A minus sign’ relates each number less than zero, which is a need of a combined plus and minus number application.
4) We can count from ‘any number less than zero’ "towards zero" by a-unit increase of number steps.
In fact all said four counts are simple and straightforward ‘a-unit changes’!
There are complex manners to count!
5) First one of these starts from ‘a number less than zero’ and it “increases by a-unit steps” (target of said increase is any ‘more than zero’ number which crosses zero)! Students usually get unsettled by related ‘plus and minus signs’ handling!
6) Second one of these starts from ‘a number more than zero’ and it “decreases by a-unit steps” (target of decrease is any ‘less than zero’ number) which crosses zero! Students usually get unsettled by related ‘plus and minus signs’ handling!
Said six variations of ‘a count’ turn highly complex by “incorporating decimal numbers” which relates any in between number-states of an adjacent two whole numbers. Together with ‘numbers less than zero’ said decimal numbers become too complex to ‘conceive and relate’ with day to day needs! Ordinary people cannot apply it easily!
It is interesting to note that computers relate digital numbers (which is a-unit increase of number steps). Though ‘a computer effortlessly relate numbers’, technology developers have greatly worked to arrive at said effortlessness!
Another ‘count’, which was developed, more than 4000 years ago in ancient India has a connection with zero!
Said counts just relate before-units of “a usual count we apply today”. A usual 4 has ‘3 before units’ of it, 3 has ‘2 before units’ of it, 2 has ‘one before unit’ of it and one has "no (zero) before unit’ of it!
Zero emerged thus, survived and got misunderstood by many mathematicians’ which is a written part of a number-theory. Today we proudly relate said theory with science and technology! Do we have a related correct awareness?
Fact is that ‘a number-linking to sentences’ adds a sense/condition to sentence, which in turn ‘fixes a fair meaning to it’. It is applied even today as singular, dual and plural, (which adds sense to sentences of a language)!
A natural phenomenon that ‘numbers are conditions’ did emerge from said language-use. Ancient Indians carried it day to day use by a philosophical "before-units count” and also by “visually relating before-units of zero-start 2D square matrix positions”. Said ‘visual matrix position linking’ teaches even a less sensitive person to visually compute!
Merit of before units’ count is that, it relates ‘mere whole number states’ (as condition), which abruptly ends at zero! A search for ‘before unit of a-zero’ is like ‘a blind man walking aimlessly’. A sense of ‘before units count’ is therefore hidden in a zero!
It implies people have no option to relate counts other than “zero and more than zero”, which are essentially digital numbers. Computers now use it!
“More and more counts” actually confuses general public, which has gradually taken place over past many centuries.It can be eliminated by using ‘a winner count’ alone.
My answer relates a basic issue (more manners to count), which has greatly influenced “a public-awareness of set-theory”. Your question just relates at a small part of it!
A-unit increasing numbers (excluding numbers less than zero) is a set, which is simplest to apply (by general public).
You may ligically use knowledge stated hereinabove, which includes past and present knowledge!
Regards!
