Algebra can be done without one,
but using a calculator helps
reinforce the concepts and gets
students familiar with the buttons
and basic functions of the tool. It is
also used for sequence graphing,
tables, and the understanding and
creation of a matrix.
21.
Geometry and Calc
This is where concepts such as
types of angles and hyperbolic
functions become cemented. calc
functions are almost impossible to
do with pencil and paper, and by
saving your work in your
calculator, you can come back to
work on problems easily after a
break.
22.
5. Computer Programming
Many computer programmers like
having a second, smaller screen to
work on when creating code and
doing simple math problems.
Others have enjoyed the computer-
to-calculator linking possibilities
that transfer spreadsheets and data
sets to their calculator for easier
programming.
23.

focuses on real and complex matrices, that is,
matrices whose elements are real
numbers or complex numbers, respectively.
29.
Row operations
Thereare three types of row
operations:
row addition, that is adding a
row to another.
row multiplication, that is
multiplying all entries of a row
by a non-zero constant;
row switching, that is
interchanging two rows of a
matrix;
30.
Statistics Calculator
Statisticscalculator is the most sophisticated statistics calculator online.
It can do all the basics like calculating quartiles, mean, median, mode,
variance, standard deviation as well as the correlation coefficient.

Contribution of Mathematicians
inComputer Technology
In 1642 AD, Blaise Pascal , a French mathematician invented a calculating
machine named as Adding Machine.
This machine was capable of doing Addition and Subtraction. This device
is known as the First Calculator of the world.
In 1671 AD, Gotfried Leibnitz, a German Mathematician improved the
Adding machine and made a new machine capable of performing
multiplication and division also.
81.
Charles Babbagewas a British mathematician. In 1822, he designed a
machine called Difference Engine. It aimed at calculating mathematical
tables.
In 1833, Charles Babbage designed a machine called Analytical Engine.
It had almost all the parts of a modern computer.
Hollerith, a Mathematician, invented a fast counting machine named
Tabulating Machine in 1880.
82.
Introduction
Binary mathis at the core of how any computer operates. Binary is used to
represent each number in the computer.
Standard arithmetic is used in many functions of programming. Addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division is used in almost every program
written.
Computer Science is an umbrella term that contains many disciplines like
Operating Systems, Databases, Networking, Artificial intelligence,
Embedded systems, Data analytics….need I go on?!!! And while there are
some disciplines that you can handle with minimal knowledge of
Mathematics, most of them require at least some level of competency.
83.
Contd….
For example,fields like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
require a thorough knowledge of Mathematical concepts like Linear
algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Probability Theory, etc.
The application for the program being created will often dictate the specific
type of math techniques required.
Linear algebra is often used for transformation of matrices. Matrix
transformation is found in both 2D and 3D modeling as seen in computer-
aided design and photo editing software.
84.

Collaborations among universities/individuals:
Internet will make our communications in research and teaching more
efficient->more collaborations.
85.
Uses of Logarithmsin Computers
Logarithms have been an important part of mathematics since 1614.
Mathematicians and computer programmers use logarithmic exponents
because it simplifies complex mathematical calculations.
For example, 1000 = 10^3 is the same as 3 = log101000.
Computer developers use logarithms in computer function formulas to
create specific software program outcomes, such as the creation of graphs
that compare statistical data.
86.
Computer Imaging
Logarithmsused in computer imaging align pixels, organize colors and help
computers manipulate photographs for enhancement, merging or
comparison.
After the creation of a digital image, the photographed information converts
into small sections of color called pixels.
For a computer to recreate an image, it organizes the red (R) green (G) blue
(B) values for each pixel and transforms them into two dimensional color
pairs, such as G/R, B/R.
Each pairing signifies a specific mathematical logarithm that allows the
computer to translate and align each pixel into the photographed image.
Cryptology
Discrete Logarithmsare an important part of creating effective computer
cryptosystems.
The variable nature of the numerical key exchanges in certain logarithmic
formulas allows cryptologists to develop computer security systems that
restrict user access and act as a sieve barring specific security attacks.
89.
Boolean Algebra
Atthe most fundamental level, all of a computer’s data is represented as bits
(zeros and ones).
Computers make calculations by modifying these bits in accordance with
the laws of Boolean algebra, which form the basis of all digital circuits
(which are represented as graphs).
Low-level programming languages rely directly on logical operators such
as and, not, and or.
Programmers also use Boolean logic to control program flow -- that is,
which instructions are executed under certain conditions.
90.
Induction and recursion
These are the key concepts in understanding the functional paradigm for
programming, which is seeing increased adoption in industry with companies
such as
Apple (Swift),
Microsoft (F#),
Microsoft Research (F*, Haskell),
Oracle (Java 8, Javascript),
Facebook (Haskell), and
Amazon adopting the paradigm both for niche tasks and general use.
91.
Number theory
Ithas critical applications across block chain, cryptography, and computer
security.
Modern cryptographic systems must be mathematically correct in order to
secure users’ data from malicious adversaries.
Checksums, based on hashing, can verify that files transferred over the
internet do not contain errors.
Data structures such as hash maps rely on modular arithmetic for efficient
operations.
Number theory also has memory-related uses in computer architecture and
operating systems.
93.
Counting
Counting techniquesare used to develop quantitative intuition.
For example, they can be used to determine the number of valid passwords
which can be formed from a given set of rules, and how long it would take for
an attacker to brute force all of them.
lossless compression algorithm: every compression algorithm must make
certain files smaller and others larger. Counting is helpful in analyzing the
complexity of compression.
95.
Graphs
Graphs arepowerful data structures which are used to model relationships and
answer questions about said data:
for example, your navigation app uses a graph search algorithm to find the
fastest route from your house to your workplace.
Linked-In uses a graph to model your professional network, as does your
telecommunications company for its cellular network (in fact, network is an
alternate name for a graph).
Computer scientists use graphs extensively: to represent file systems, for
version control, and in functional programming, deep learning, databases, and
many more applications.
98.
Linear Algebra
Asscience and engineering disciplines grow so the use of mathematics
grows as new mathematical problems are encountered and new
mathematical skills are required.
In this respect, linear algebra has been particularly responsive to computer
science as linear algebra plays a significant role in many important
computer science undertakings.
A few well-known examples are:
Internet search • Graph analysis • Machine learning • Graphics •
Bioinformatics • Scientific computing • Data mining Computer vision •
Speech recognition • Compilers • Parallel computing
99.
Google and LinearAlgebra
Google and Linear Algebra, Google set itself apart from other search
engines by its ability to quantify “relevance” with the help of mathematics.
100.
Games
Many computergames use 3D graphics. Moving and animating these on a
two-dimensional screen, as well as rendering colors, light and shadows,
requires vectors, matrices and many other concepts from linear algebra and
3D geometry.
Computer games also have to create realistic water and animate moving and
colliding physical objects.
Finally, computer programs have to generate random numbers to make the
game more interesting, and model the artificial intelligence of virtual
players.
This would not be possible without advanced mathematics.
101.
Angry Bird (Game)
Math is everything when it comes to video games.
From having the ability to calculate the trajectory of an Angry Bird flying
through the sky to ensuring the character jumps and lands back on the
ground.
102.
First Person Shooters
(Game)
The most amazing things about FPS are their incredible graphics. They look
almost real, none of this would have been possible without the use of
advanced maths.
Here are some pictures from the early games (Wolfenstein) to the most
recent games (Quake III Arena). All of the following screen shots are from
games by iD software.
103.
Most ofthe time the math you learned in high school and college is no
different than what was used to design a game.
To name a few, some of the common branches of math utilized in game
development include:
Algebra
Trigonometry
Linear Algebra
Discrete Mathematics
And more …
More specific elements of math almost always used in games include:
Matrices
Delta time
Unit and scaling vectors
Dot and cross products
And scalar manipulation
