Applied mathematics

Over the past years, scientists from different fields, extending from medicine and biology to applied mathematics and computer science, have teamed up to assess emerging diseases. Mathematical modelling plays an important role in predicting, forecasting and controlling disease outbreaks. Despite control measures, it often happens that outbreaks remain a serious public health risk in areas where recurrent outbreaks have been observed for a long time. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the…

Samos, Greece; however, he moved to Egypt, where he lived twenty-two years. Had he not been captured and taken as a prisoner to Babylon, he time in Egypt might have been longer. Resided in Babylon for about twelve years as a detainee, he learned mathematics and other spiritual concepts during his time there. Once released, he…

Primes – the building blocks of all numbers: The dictionary meaning of prime is ‘Of first importance’ or ‘Of the best quality, excellent’ etc. What is so great about prime numbers? A number is said to be a prime if it is divisible only by 1 and itself. 5, for example, is a prime number because it is divisible only by 1 and 5. The number 4 can be divided by 1, 4 AND 2. So it is not a prime number. Numbers that are not primes are said to be composite numbers. The fundamental theorem of Arithmetic…

important works of modern science. The work he created contains the three basic laws of motion. The first law being, a stationary body will stay stationary unless an external force is applied to it. Second law states, force is equal to mass times acceleration, and change in motion is proportional to the force applied. Third law states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws helped Newton discover many new findings such as; how the moon revolves around the earth and…

Isaac Newton was an English physicist and a Mathematician.He died on January 4,1643,Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth United Kingdom.He died March 31,1727,Kensington,london,United Kingdom.He famous for his law of gravitation. Isaac Newton had a lot of discoveries and achievements.He generalized the binomial theorem.He made the world’s first working reflecting telescope.He created his three laws of motion. Isaac Newton was educated in Trinity college two…

she too must become a mathematician after reading this story. After teaching herself different languages such as Latin and Greek, she than went to read Newton's and Euler's work, despite her parents, who had a large opposition to a career in the mathematics field,…

More specifically, it was so fascinating to see how formulas I had been using since elementary school were founded on the basis of calculus; the mathematics used to find the volume of a solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the equation y equals the square root of the quantity r-squared minus x-squared, where r is a positive constant, and the x-axis from -r to r can be simplified down to the…

Introduction Vilfredo Pareto graduated from the University of Turin and practiced as a civil engineer before switching to economics, and becoming a famous economist known for his application of mathematics to economic analysis. Pareto’s theories and research have been discussed several times in Praxis with several different applications, including the Pareto Chart, the Pareto Principle, and Pareto Efficiency (relating to Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem and Pairwise Comparison Matrices). The…

After finishing one-year studying in university, I discovered that Applied Mathematics was the ultimate major for me. The first-year experience provides me a substantial number of insights for my future goals and plans. By obtaining plentiful assistance and support from my academic advisor and the dean of undergraduate study, I declared my major. I cannot deny the outstanding teaching resources I received as a student. Case Western Reserve University is an ideal university for the students who…

Basic skills, as defined from the book Teaching the New Basic Skills: Principles for Educating Children to Thrive in a Changing Economy, are those skills that are fundamental in reading, mathematics, solving semi-structured questions where assumptions should be developed and experimented, working and communicating effectively with different kinds of people, and accomplishing simple tasks via computers (Murnane & Levy, 1996). However, according to Kimberly Lightle, Director of the Office of…
