Mathematics is essential in everyday life for tasks big and small. When people set alarms, cook, travel, work, shop, or enjoy hobbies, they use basic math principles without even realizing it. Whether calculating distances, budgets, schedules, or stats, math underlies many routine activities of daily living. It has also helped humanity progress scientifically and technologically. While some applications are complex, even simple logic and problem-solving draw on mathematical thinking that most people use intuitively on a daily basis.

2. At Home
 Some people aren't even out of bed before
encountering math. Setting an alarm and hitting
snooze, they may quickly need to calculate the new
time they will arise. Or they might step on a bathroom
scale and decide that they’ll skip those extra calories at
lunch. People on medication need to understand
different dosages, whether in grams or milliliters.
Recipes call for ounces and cups and teaspoons --all
measurements, all math. And decorators need to know
that the dimensions of their furnishings and rugs will
match the area of their rooms.

3. In Travel
 Travelers often consider their miles-per-gallon when
fueling up for daily trips, but they might need to
calculate anew when faced with obstructionist detours
and consider the cost in miles, time and money. Air
travelers need to know departure times and arrival
schedules. They also need to know the weight of their
luggage unless they want to risk some hefty baggage
surcharges. Once on board, they might enjoy some
common aviation-related math such as speed, altitude
and flying time.

4. At School And Work
 Students can’t avoid math -- most take it every day.
However, even in history and English classes they may
need to know a little math. Whether looking at time
expanses of decades, centuries or eras or calculating
how they’ll bring that B in English to an A, they’ll need
some basic math skills. Jobs in business and finance
may require sophisticated knowledge of how to read
profit and earning statements or how to decipher
graph analyses. However, even hourly earners will
need to know if their working hours times their rate of
pay accurately reflects their paychecks.

5. At The Store
 Whether buying coffee or a car, basic principles of
math are in play. Purchasing decisions require some
understanding of budgets and the cost and
affordability of items from groceries to houses. Short-
term decisions may mean only needing to know cash-
at-hand, but bigger purchases may require knowledge
of interest rates and amortization charts. Finding a
mortgage may be much different than choosing a place
to have lunch, but they both cost money and require
math.

6. Pastime
 Even off-time can be math time. Baseball fans know a
lot about statistics, whether they’re considering basic
win-loss ratios, batting averages or pitchers' earned-
run-averages. Football fans know about yardage gains
and passing stats. And individual athletes, whether
runners, bikers, sailors or hikers, often have their own
ways of charting their progress, from time to mileage
to elevation.

7. Sums in the sun
 Even when you’re looking to spend some time in the
sun maths in everyday life is all around you, because
planning a holiday is all about optimisation. Deciding
where to visit is just the first of a whole bunch of
questions. When is the best time of year to go? How do
I get to the airport on time? Can I fit all these clothes
in my suitcase? Answering these questions involves
working with numbers – hotel prices, flight
timetables, suitcase volumes – to come up with the
best results.

8.  Once you get there, maths still comes in handy. Maths
and numbers are universal, so even if you don’t speak
the language you can understand prices and times,
and mentally converting currencies lets you check
whether you’re spending £1 or £10. That certainly helps
when you’re picking out souvenirs.

9.  When you buy a car, follow a recipe, or decorate your home,
you're using math principles. People have been using these
same principles for thousands of years, across countries
and continents. Whether you're sailing a boat off the coast
of Japan or building a house in Peru, you're using math to
get things done.
 How can math be so universal? First, human beings didn't
invent math concepts; we discovered them. Also, the
language of math is numbers, not English or German or
Russian. If we are well versed in this language of numbers,
it can help us make important decisions and perform
everyday tasks. Math can help us to shop wisely, buy the
right insurance, remodel a home within a budget,
understand population growth, or even bet on the horse
with the best chance of winning the race.

10. Importance of Mathematics in
Daily Life
 The importance of mathematics in daily life cannot be
questioned.
 Mathematics finds its application in the fields of science,
technology, economics, business, commerce and computer
design and functioning.
 These fields may be advanced applications for the layman.
 However even a simple common man find his math useful
in his day to day life.
 Consider a housewife going for groceries shopping. She
would need to add up the total value of the things she
bought and then when she pays the store teller, she needs
to calculate how much change should she ask for back.
 All that involves math. Even a 2 year old toddler, can tell
the difference between a bigger and a smaller toy. That is
nothing but math.

11.  The importance of mathematics can be mainly categorized
into two.
 The first is that it helps man progress in the fields of
science and technology.
 The second is that it helps us to understand exactly how
our universe works.
 For the common man, knowledge of mathematics helps
him in his personal development, not just at his workplace
but also in enhancing his mental abilities.
 Mathematics helps the common man to understand how
the world around him functions. It also helps him realize
how things can be changed for his betterment.
The mathematical tools that he can use for this purpose
could be logical reasoning, problem solving ability, basic
arithmetic

12.  etc. Basically it is the ability to think from various view
points that helps him the most. And that itself is a part
of mathematics.
 Mathematics is very important in our daily life. It finds
application in various types of professions, such as
science and technology, medical, economic.
 It is also useful in calculating environmental statistics
and for make decisions that affect public in general.
 Mathematics is basically related to understanding
structure and pattern.
 It is used to do logical analysis, make relevant
calculations and eventually to deduce conclusions.

13.  Practicing mathematics helps a person to be able develop
the ability to imagine various situations. Since it helps our
imagination, it helps get rid of factors that are less relevant
or irrelevant to situations.
 So we can think more clearly and our thought process
becomes more logic based rather than intuition based.
 In simple words, in our day to day life, we need to think
more with our mind that with our heart, and mathematics
helps us do just that.
 Simple things like, what time should I leave home to get to
office in time that is 5 km from home?
 Or how many marks should my child get at the competitive
exam so as to secure a seat in xyz institute.
 Etc are all examples of how we use math in daily life.
