The document discusses how mathematics is important in everyday life through examples like cooking, grocery shopping, dieting, and budgeting. It also explains how math is used in careers like crime detection, medicine, and finding landmines. Mathematics allows crimes to be solved through analyzing evidence like blurred number plates or skid marks at accident scenes. Medical imaging technologies like CAT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds use math to process sound waves, magnetism, and X-rays into 3D images of the body. Math can also help locate tripwires in images to find hidden landmines. Overall, the document argues that mathematics is far more relevant to real life than some may think.

1. MATHEMATICS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
YOU MIGHT THINK ….
BY
SHIVA KRISHNA REDDY CH.....
IIMC HYD.

2. SOME COMMON VIEWS OF MATHEMATICS
 MATHS IS HARD
 MATHS IS BORING
 MATHS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL LIFE
BUT I CAN SHOW YOU THAT MATHS IS IMPORTANT IN
EVERYDAY LIFE AND CRIME DETECTION MEDICINE
FINDING LANDMINES
AND MANY OTHER CAREERS!!!!!!!!!

3. A. COOKING
WHEN WE COOK WE
NEED TO MEASURE THE
INGREDIENTS IN TERMS OF
TABLESPOONS,TEASPOON,OUNCE
S,GRAMS,KILOGRAMS ETC.IF WE
ARE PREPARING MEALS FOR
MANY PEOPLE,WE WILL NEED TO
CONVERT THE MEASUREMENTS
ACCORDINGLY.MESSING UP WITH
THE MEASUREMENTS CAN
RESULT IN DISASTROUS MEALS.
B. GROCERY SHOPPING
IN GROCERY OR ANY
OTHER SHOPS,MATHS IS USED
FOR BILLING OR FOR
CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF
THE MONEY YOU HAVE TO PAY
AND THE MONEY SAVED.

4. C. DIET
PEOPLE WHO ARE OVER WEIGHT
NEED TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THEIR CALORIE
INTAKE.ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE ON SPECIAL
WEIGHT LOSS DIET,KNOWLEDGE OF MATHS
IS NEEDED TO CALCULATE THE TOTAL
AMOUNT OF CALORIES CONSUMED IN A
DAY,ONE WEEK,AND ONE MONTH
D. BUDGET
IF WE ARE NOT KNOWING HOW
MUCH MONEY WE HAVE AND HOW MUCH WE
ARE ALLOWED TO SPEND IS A DEFINITE
WAY OF LANDING OURSELF IN THE LAP OF
CREDIT.EVEN IF WE ARE NOT PAYING THE
ELECTRICITY BILL,WATER BILL OR CABLE TV
BILLS, ONE BILL THAT YOU DEFINITELY
CANNOT ESCAPE IS THE RESTAURANT BILL.
RESTAURANTS ARE PLACES WHERE YOUR
MATHS KNOWLEDGE BECOMES SO USEFUL.

6.  They look for skid marks and measure them.
 Then use a certain formula S= 15.9 √df
 To figure out if the accident was preventable.
 Helps find the quickest route to a citizen in trouble.
(Geometry)
 Find out how many crooks you need to bust to make
your town twice as safe.(Algebra)
 In order to become a cop you need to pass a test and
math is required.(fact)

7. Maths and crime: Deblurring a number plate
A short crime story
• Burglar robs a bank
• Escapes in a getaway car
• Pursued by police

8. GOOD NEWS
Police take a photo
BAD NEWS
Photo is blurred

9. SOLUTION
Find a model of the blurring process

11. HOW MATHS WILL GET YOU ON TV
PICTURES AND IMAGES ARE ALL AROUND US
• TV
• DVD
• COMPUTER GRAPHICS
• SPECIAL EFFECTS
IMAGES ARE STORED AS NUMBERS – bitmap
USING THESE NUMBERS WE CAN PROCESS
THE PICTURES BY USING MATHEMATICS

12. MATHS AND MEDICINE
Modern medicine has been transformed by methods of seeing
Inside you without cutting you open!
• Ultra sound: sound waves
• MRI: magnetism
• CAT scans: X rays
ALL USE MATHS TO WORK!!

14. FINALE: USING MATHS TO FIND
ANTI-PERSONEL LAND MINES
Land mines are hidden in foliage and triggered by trip wires
Land mines are well hidden .. we can use maths to find them

Who says that maths isn’t relevant to real life?!?

18. Some interesting mathematical facts
• Over 70% of all jobs require maths
• On average maths graduates earn more than any other
profession
• Many degrees require maths including statistics, physics,
engineering, economics, chemistry, medicine, IT, computer
games, computer science, social-science, psychology, fashion
design, business studies, accountancy, actuarial studies,
