Mathematic

                                        MATHEMATICS 

                                                           
     Mathematics is the abstract study of topics encompassing quantity, structure,]space, change, and other properties; it has no generally accepted definitionMany 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.
