MY LOVE FOR MATHEMATICS

Mathematics is an easy subject which consists of numeric values 0, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 which are accompanied by signs and symbols that connect to form maths equations and formulas.The basic reason as to why I am fond of mathematics is that it is a simple game of numbers that can be used to solve so many problems. 

This aspect helps mathematics increase the intellectual capacity of people as they are able to think of ways to solve problems that face them and also in making decisions that concern various situations. Mathematics is related to almost all other disciplines and in some it is the base of all other theories that are added to them.

Mathematics is taught in different stages of life and advances from simple equations(eg. <rectangle>Area=length × width) to complex ones( identities like cos²ø+sin²ø=1). The formulas advance according to specialization in different levels of education.Mathematics is also applied to most of our daily activities.

Consider an aspect of probability where the occurrence of an action(event) totally or partially depends on the occurrence of another action(event), by means of calculation it is simple to apply formulas and help prioritize your activities in a better way.Mathematics is also applicable in calculating time and making of programs and timetables which are used in work areas, schools and also jovial events like parties, and live presentations. 

Calculation of time is an important aspect which is extremely helpful in division of labor; for example where a number of resources and workers(laborers)are available,, the number of days/hours and rate of work may be calculated and will influence further decisions which will be made by the organizers or concerned parties concerning the project.

 This also applies  in large organisations, institutions, healthcare facilities, etc.In a major and very important sector, transport sector, mathematics is used to connect speed, time and distance in such a unique manner, such that given any two of the above one can find the other. 

Also in calculation of used fuel and amount payable to the service providers (matatu owners, drivers, conductors,etc.) will determine whether any profits are made and also determine decisions made concerning it .In A country whose total area has been calculated (mathematically) and divided into provinces/counties/protectorates/divisions, etc.

 A government will/ may conduct a national census ( a total count of people) and collect revenues from its citizens, which will be divided and allocated according to the population of all places. It may also be divided according to necessities of development and help needed. The same will be divided to civil servants as salaries.

In the case of any unknowns that are required for calculation of specific quantities, an algebraic equation may be formulated in which the unknowns are used and by application of required formulas, a variable is calculated amidst constants which in unison deliver information which is much more meaningful to the user. 

In case a desired result is not achieved, the constants can be increased or decreased in accordance with the required results. This is more common in industries and firms that produce things on large and or small scale. The constant may be temperature, pressure, time, etc.

Mathematical skills are therefore important and every person. Requires them,,. All the way from children, pupils, students, to casual workers, skilled workers, business people, civil servants, lawyers,  leaders, ambassadors, etc
