Wow, I am glad we use the shorter version of π =3.14 to solve our math problems but what is π really used for in today’s world? The obvious answer is π is used in almost every branch of math. If you want to find the circumference of a circle, the surface area of a cylinder, the area of a sector of a circle, any measurement of a circle, cylinder, or sphere it involves π since π was used to make the circle. So with that in mind, I thought I had a good handle on where π is used in the real world today. It is used by architects, contractors, draftsmen, building and bridge designers, engineers, or just about any job that uses shapes.
Chapter 1 Test Yourself Quiz 1. Name two needs of society that led to the development of more complex mathematics. A. Measuring resources, land, dimensions for construction, navigation, understanding the cycle of the year. 2.
Week 5 - Assignment Week Five Written Assignment Following completion of your readings, answer the following two questions from “Chapter 12 Supplement” of Mathematics in Our World. Select one even problem from exercises 1 through 10 on page 810. Select one even problem from exercises 11 through 22 on pages 811-812. As you answer the questions above, identify what types of misrepresentation or misuse have been demonstrated by referring to the bold blue headings in the “Chapter 12 Supplement” (e.g., Suspect Samples, Asking Biased Questions, Misleading Graphs, etc.). The assignment must include (a) all math work required to answer the problems as well as (b) introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
He was the first to test out a series of optical experiments that led to his discoveries and findings. 2. How was math used in Renaissance art? Mathematics was used quite frequently throughout Renaissance and several other times in art history. During the 15th century, when the
The Han Dynasty was effective in the implementation of problem solving, the sciences, and careful thought. Mathematics Within the Han Dynasty, there was a large amount of technologies and discoveries. An important source of evidence is the Nine Chapters of the Mathematical Art, a practical handbook of 246 problems intended to provide methods to be used to solve everyday problems of engineering, surveying, trade and taxation, which was compiled over the period of the Han Dynasty to restore and introduce mathematical methods to the common man, where it gives the problem, answer, and steps in solving each example. The first chapter consists of 38 problems on land surveying, which prove the existence of area calculations on triangles, rectangles, trapeziums, and circles, fraction operations, use of the Euclidean algorithm method for finding the greatest common divisor of two numbers, and a very accurate approximation for π. The next chapter contains 46 problems concerning the exchange of goods, particularly the exchange rates among 20 different types of grain, beens, and seeds, which prove the existence of percentage, a decimal system of units and money, proportion calculation methods, and the introduction of the rule of 3 for solving proportion problems.
Here is a formula that is used often in AP statistics: z=x-xs Use your algebra skills... a. If z = 2.5, x = 102, and x = 100, what is s? Show your work b. If z = -3.35, x = 60, and s = 4, what is x? Show your work.

Case Study Application Paper Food Webs Case Study The food webs case study introduces mathematical techniques used for many years, including simple and sophisticated graphing, and how it relates to modern world computing and technology. Today, these mathematical techniques form the basis for programming and algorithms used in computing and research and better known as discrete mathematics. The basis of each theory discusses relationships of elements involving two or more sets and any subsets of these sets. The graphs used to follow food webs help establish a requiem of vertices, edges, and links that an information system closely adheres to in modern computing. The food web case study uses annotations that adequately provide models that depict the predator and prey relationship found in the ecological environment.
Running Head: PYTHAGOREAN QUADRATIC 1 Running Head: PYTHAGOREAN QUADRATIC Pythagorean Quadratic We wonder why we need to know algebra in the real world. Everywhere we look and everything we do, some form of algebra is used. As some forms of algebra is used to track spending, other forms help in building homes and other types of buildings. Basically anything geometric. It even helps us navigate around in our neighborhood, in the city, and is important 2 while hiking in the woods.
During the late 1800s forensic consisted of skills like body temperature to determine time of death and the regular routine of fingerprinting to identify victims. In 1921 they used portable lie detector machines. Other findings during this time are voiceprint documentation tools and early DNA study. Who would have thought how far forensic science could go? Modern forensics uses great skills and has stretched their skills to include computer forensics, DNA forensics and superior genetic studies.
