My Calculus teacher told me to prepare a presentation on the maths. And she told me to select any topic from our daily life. That maths plays a very important role in our life. v ver not knowing but v ver using maths in every single second of our life. I need your help to please let me know some things what you know about my question.\n(The best answer will be selected with in 2 dayz) 4m now on

How about using calculus to analyze your state of awareness and conciousness.  Certainly, there is a belzian style curve to how awake we feel during the day.  There are also certain patterns of our awareness in different situations.  If you are able to quantify the level of awareness, you could come up with a rudimentary graph.  You can then show how calculus can be used to calculate total awareness (area under the curve) as well as total consciousness (how awake you feel at certain times in the day.  You can also look at how activities affect the curve and work calculus into that as well, depending on your level of calculus.  The trick is to get quantitative data vs qualitiative data.  Good Luck.

The idea of a limit can be a very confusing one for students. Sometimes you can best understand the concept by seeing visual examples. My favorite website for calculus topics is www.calculus-help.com It's got alot of great tutorials to help you with different concepts in calculus. Well, your in luck! Because they have a specific flash video on limits to help you understand! Here is the link, it is very informative: http://www.calculus-help.com/funstuff/phobe.html . You'll probably want to start with lesson 1. Good Luck!

Many life problems can be solved with mathematics. \n\nFor example algebra, it's very useful to solve problem with many factors involved. For example, when you choose someone to be your boyfriend. Of course, you will combine all of his factors that make you interest (how much polite, romance, smart, gentle, etc.) and then you decide if the result is appropriate for you. If you make algebra formula for this problems that will be :\n\nTo become your boyfriend = how much (polite + romance + smart + gentle + others), or\nB = ap + br + cs + dg + O........................... (a,b,c,d = how much)\n\nMany people use algebra from the simple way to most complicated one to solve their problems, even though they don't realize they have used it. Like your father, to make good result of wood works he must calculate well and use algebra too, even though he use the simple one. \n\nIf you can understand mathematics well, you will can solve many problems with faster, simple and efficient way. I know mathematics is very difficult subject, that's why you have to discuss more with your teacher to make you more understand. Don't be shy to ask your teacher if you don't understand. Good teacher will be glad and supports students who interest their subject and will ensure that all students understand.\n\nGood luck

Algebra is needed for SO many things! Recipes, budgeting you name it. It teaches problem solving. Geometry is good to shape your mind to think logically. I actually took geometry twice out of my own free will because I loved proving the angles were equal or whatever. My mind was never so sharp. Trig, well I actually haven't found a use for that yet....

And I assume that you know that after college you will never ever again use that worthless knowledge.  What scientist is going to be doing long hand algebra when they have a computer?  Ask your teacher who uses it on a daily basis and what percentage of the population that is.  Would you even want to as a job choice?  It's really a shame that schools require such nonsense.

I think math is wonderful, there are so many uses for it. It is an ever expanding topic too, I don't think we will ever find a "limit" to what we can do with math

Firstly look at all the different engineering feats that men has ever engaged in - for example your desk, the home you live in, lights, cars, highways, computers, TV, Internet, commerical planes, ipod etc - everything is related to mathematics!\n\nWhile eating your meal think about this, how would a chef be able to cook that delicious dish without the use of mathematical principles of proportion.\n\nThe designer clothes that you are currently wearing, how would the designer be able to create such clothes without the help of mathematical measuring instruments.\n\nThe back engine of any business enterprise is mathematics! Without a sound mathematical business strategy, business can go bankrupt overnight!\n\nAnd the list goes on! \n\nSorry to say, but i think you had a very lousy Mathematics Teacher!

You might! Really.\n\nBut what it is important for right now is teaching your brain how to cope with complex systems that follow rigid rules.  If you can grasp & control that basic notion by mastering Calculus, you can do anything.\n\nTrust me!\n\nGood luck!

Hi:\n\n How about using the following : A lot of pennies or coins and a Chinese abacus; the reason I would use pennies or coins is because everyone uses money and it's easier for anyone to clasp numbers,  the abacus will visibleably show the numbers  as beads as well as show  the process of both addition & subtraction. and it also make a great gift that she can pass along to your grandchild when she has a child of her own, Remember that  all subtraction is addition in reverse.  There  are a lot of  children books on subtraction in most stores like Meijer,Big Kmart and Wal-mart, along with others, they can help you. I've list some books in the Source that can help you  \n\nGood luck and best wish to you

About learning maths this site is a great reference:\n\nhttp://www.mathworld.com\n\nAbout doing home works You simply can use Just Yahoo answers.\n\nBut please send your homeworks one by one.\nYou will find plenty of people here to answer your questions.

I've read the Trigonometry for Dummies and the Calculus for Dummies books, both were quite helpful. There is also an algebra workbook for dummies, but it's probably not worth getting if you're taking an algebra class.

I'd say that this is open to interpretation. you are best to ask your teacher or tutor, you cant trust our advice, cos none of us would know for sure.

Cool question.  I would ask your teacher the same question.  Hopefully, they might be able to make some changes to make learning easier for you.  Having a good grounding in math is a very important building block for almost everything in life - especially when you learn geometry and algebra.  \n\nGood luck!

You may never have to know the sine of an angle in real life, but the point of your math classes is to teach you how to think logically. What the different subjects show you is their applications in the real world. If you become an English teacher, you won't need to know the area under a curve.\n\nBut the thing with math is that the numbers provide a numerical visual for the concepts. When you get the right answer, you can see how the concept works via that example (sometimes called a "problem" or a "question"). And that's it. It's somewhat akin to writing a paper - you make a thesis statement, and then follow by offering proof/support of your statement. You're showing why your statement works by using words. Math often uses numbers for the same purpose.

I've just finished Maths at College and I passed almost everything top of class. Anyhows, don't focus on misconceptions; instead find the right way to do it and put in effort solving the problems over and over again.\n\nI put in 16 hours the day before the first test that I passed top of class. There's no secret- simply put in the work and pass top of class. Einstein- 'Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.\n\nEmail me once you pass top of class, or even once you pass.

Hi there, I am an engineering student from India. My calculus was not so good too, but then I found this awesome book and boy oh boy, it did work!\nYou will find "Calculus and Analytic Geometry" by "Thomas/Finney"  really amazing!\nIf you have a graphing calculator (not neccessary though) you will live calculus with this book, believe me!\nBut just in case you are a bit more experienced, i mean have learnt calculus a lil more in detail then I would suggest you prefer "Calculus" by Binmore Davies.\nGood Luck and all the best!\nIn case you've got some doubts on any other electronic engineering subjects, PPPPPlllleaaaaaaaaaaaaase feel free to ask, especially regarding the choice of textbooks.

I like math class, I'm really good at math, and I know that it benefits everyone, but I'm not going to spend my free time memorizing the digits of pi or phi. I can do trigonometry, but on vacations, I will not work problems for fun. I think everyone should get at least an Algebra 2 level of math mastered.
