MATHEMATICS
Mathematics is the abstract study of topics encompassing quantity, structure,]space, change, and
other properties; it has
no generally accepted definition. Many of us
wondered about the benefits of Mathematics during our childhood even adult days.
Most of us were not able to comprehend the advantages of mathematics beyond the
daily usage of calculating simple numbers. The importance of mathematics is
two-fold, it is important in the advancement of science and two, it is
important in our understanding of the workings of the universe. It seems that benefit one
is the main benefit for me since benefit 2 does not relevant to my course and
ambition at all. Advancement of science is about pattern and structure. It is more
about logical analysis, deduction, calculation within these patterns and
structures. When these patterns are found, it will be widely applied in different
areas of science and technology, the mathematics of these patterns can be used
to explain and control natural happenings and situations. It can also be used to
calculate the amount of soil, sand, and so on. Since mathematics carry such
important benefits to me, I decided to learn mathematics instead of design visualization
and culture civilization in order to improve my knowledge in calculation that will
be used in my future life.
Assignment
1
For assignment 1, we need to form
a group of 5 students and choose 9 objects found in our daily life. We were
required to calculate total surface area and volume of the objects that
we found. This assignment enables us to do some basic calculation of surface
area and volume. It is crucial to do it well because if we can’t even do well and
understand the fundamental of mathematics, how should we proceed to the higher
level of mathematics? Fortunately, I was
able to analyse and solve the
problems that involve area and volume of 3D objects. After finish this assignment,
we will automatically understand and apply the fundamental basic of mathematics principles,
area and volume.
Assignment 2
As for assignment 2,
we also need to form group of 5 students as well. We can choose to form a new
group or remain the same group and eventually I still remain in the same group
as in assignment 1. We had to prepare a
specific statistical study and gather analytical data on surveys and statistics
to propose on any opening new restaurant business in our campus. The
data can be prepared in any desired forms like pie chart, histogram and other
diagrams. This assignment enables us to gather the data by using appropriate
diagrams such as histogram, pie chart and etc. It also helps us to design
surveying forms and ask people to fill it up to get the final answers.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this
subject helps me to understand the all the chapter that I had learn during the
lesson. This subject is really worthy to learn because it really teaches me
numerous of lesson that will help me in the future time. From both of the
assignment, I learned to apply fundamental
mathematic knowledge in built environment context lastly collect, organize,
present and draw conclusion for simple statistical data.
