how is math involved in medical field?

you need to measure how much dosage of medication to give someone .. etc

I assume you mean Career, though I suppose someone could carry math around in their head in much the same fashion as people carry about the common cold.  Instead of one sneeze to the next, it could be one equation to the next you pass on.\n\nOkay all kidding aside, generally math is more an adjunct skill than an avocation.  By that you can use your math talents to work in a hundred niches - everything from designing computer code to designing algorithms to keeping books to teaching school.  The only thing limiting you is your imagination and your willingness to grab at opportunities when they come knocking on your door.\n\nAs a long ago National Math Merit Scholar I wish you luck.

I am not in medical field...but i guess\n\nMILL/MCL\n=MCL/10^6\n=M/uL

there are lots of medical devices taking ideas from trigonometry.\none simple example is hip prostheses..the angle at which it should be designed implanted and all are decided by trignometric techniques. I can give you more examples if you r really interested

The role of mathimatics in warfare throughout history is well documented. There are so many examples it's hard to know where to start. Most of it has been converted into computer programs in modern warfare.\n\nAn example might be a sniper and scout. The scout ranges the distance of the enemy. The sniper takes into consideration wind speed, trajectory of the bullet, etc. in order to aim and strike the target.

Mathematics is used whenever one has to analyze relationships between exact quantities. Since a scientific theory or hypothesis must be associated with an empirical measurement (thus the theory must be associated with measurable quantities), the language of mathematics is inseparable from most science.

Don't overlook the fact that numbers are entirely an artifice.  Mathematics is not a 'natural' science, such as physics.  It is a contrivance, a tool used to understand the physical world.

Well maths is the foundation of most ares of science, especially physics, and physics relates to many jobs in fields like engineering etc. Trigonometry in maths at first seems to just relate to triangles, but apart from finding unknown sides and angles, it has many applications. the relationship between the sides of a triangle, in terms of sine, cosine and tangent apply to many areas of physics. You may have heard of trig graphs, and in physics, you can see how many things like waves, simple harmonic motion and AC current all relate to trigonometrical concepts, that is, looking at objects in motion in terms of a reference circle

Mathematics is the language of science.  It is how scientific models are defined and universally understood.

Understand the lever system of the beds.\nUnderstand water flow for suspension of IV injection bags.\n\nFrankly, physics is not that important in medicine.

Abstract mathematics is a huge field, with many parts. I would say, the simplest way to think about is that it is not focused on applications, like problems from engineering, or physics, or chemistry or economics. The problems in pure math, or abstract math, come from the field itself. \n\nIn real math, there is very little done with arithmetic. It all is about constructing rules for systems, called axioms, and then finding out what the implications of those axioms are. The main activity is doing proofs, which can be very challenging. \n\nIt includes things like set theory, and number theory. \n\nAnd for 2+2=5: if you set up your axioms the right way, you can prove anything. For example, what do the symbols 2, +, = and 5 mean anyway?

The "seemingly pointless" aspects of Alg 1 and 2. huh?  Determined by whom?  You?  When you get to med school and something is difficult, will you also deem it "seemingly pointless"?  Your attitude is self serving, like that of many students today. They ask "when am I ever going to use this?"  The answer is "If you don't learn it, you'll never use it"  Mathematics is nothing more that the relationship between numbers. Some of the relationships are simple, some complex. Like the biological pathways, Krebs cycle, hormone feedback loops.  If your mind hasn't been trained to figure out the complexities of algebra 2, you'll never cut it in med school when they throw the real hard stuff at you.

Medical physics is concerned with the applications of\nphysical energy, concepts, and methods to the diagnosis\nand treatment of human disease. Examples of areas in\nwhich a medical physicist may work include the\napplication of ionizing radiation to medical diagnosis and\ntherapy; bioelectrical investigations of the brain and\nheart; and the medical uses of infrared radiation,\nultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance, heat, and lasers.\nRadiation therapy is the major field of employment for\nmedical physicists.\n Job Settings are in Hospitals and other medical care facilities. A median salary for medical physicists\nis about $72,500 per year.\n\nApplied physics mostly works with applied research and development rather than in basic research.\n\nand I didnt really find anything about simulation physics. Ask your professors or each advisors for some information. But maybe they work on the radiation machines treating cancer. Good luck. Hope this helped.

They use addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and percentages.
