Math In Careers
Astronaut
Make precise mathematical calculations, from how the spacecraft leaves Earth's atmosphere to how the astronauts pilot the craft.
Designers use math to calculate distance, speed, velocity, and their own safety when creating space-faring vehicles.
Physician
write prescriptions for patients, to determine how much medication to distribute to patients based on weight, to determine Body Mass Index (BMI), and to interpret CAT scans.
Use statistics and probability to interpret tests results. When a patient is treated for an illness, the probability is used to determine which type of treatment to use, if any. “Evidence-based medicine, the use of statistical models to guide diagnoses and treatment, is already changing how doctors practice.” - Ian Ayres
Geologist
Formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena.
Geomagnetic field models are used in navigation, geophysical surveys, oil production, and in scientific studies ranging from the upper atmosphere to Earth's deep interior.
Math in Cooking
Math can be used to alter recipe sizes. If you need more you can double or even triple a recipe. You can also half it if you need less. You can also convert your recipe if you need it in different measurements.
Understanding shapes and volumes is important, especially in baking. For example, knowing how to shape dough for certain pastries or understanding the volume of different cake pans.
Many cooking techniques involve ratios and proportions. For example, the ratio of flour to liquid in a bread recipe affects the texture of the final product.
Baking often requires precise temperatures and cooking times. Understanding temperature conversions (e.g., Fahrenheit to Celsius) and how time and temperature affect the cooking process are important.
Recipes often require specific measurements of ingredients, and understanding basic math is crucial for adjusting quantities. For example, if a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour, you need to know how to measure and add exactly 2 cups.
In professional baking, a concept known as baker's percentage is often used. It's a method of expressing ingredients in relation to the flour's weight, providing a consistent and scalable approach to recipes.
Math In Nature
Natural objects often exhibit fractal patterns, which are complex geometric shapes that repeat at different scales. Examples include the branching patterns of trees, the structure of clouds, and the coastline of land masses.
Mathematical concepts of symmetry are prevalent in nature. Many organisms and natural formations exhibit symmetrical patterns, such as the bilateral symmetry of animals or the radial symmetry of certain flowers.
Waves, whether in water, sound, or light, can be described using mathematical principles. The behavior of waves follows mathematical equations and patterns.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (e.g., 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...). This sequence is often observed in the arrangement of leaves, petals, and seeds in plants.
Many different shapes and patterns can be found in nature
