The Relevance Of Mathematics In Everyday Life, Then And Now. by Zarin Roberts
This blog is about the difference in mathematics everyday life from then to now. I was assigned Charles Augustin De Coulomb for then . I've picked my father to give me his opinion on how mathematics relates in his everyday life.
Charles Augustin De Coulomb was born on 14 June 1736 Angoulême, Angoumois, France he died on 23 August 1806 (aged 70) Paris, France .Augustin was known for inventing a device, dubbed the torsion balance, that allowed him to measure very small charges and experimentally estimate the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies.Coulomb issued out his theories in 1785–89. He also developed the inverse square law of attraction and repulsion of unlike and like magnetic poles. This laid out the foundation for the mathematical theory of magnetic forces formulated by French mathematician Siméon Denis Poisson.Coulomb origin is defined as the quantity of electricity transported in one second by a current of one ampere. Named for the 18th–19th-century French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, it is approximately equivalent to "6.24 × 1018" electrons.Three parts of Coulomb's law The interaction between charged objects is a non-contact force that acts over some distance of separation. Charge, charge and distance. Every electrical interaction involves a force that highlights the importance of these three variables.
THE INTERVIEW ON MATHEMATICS.
Name- Phillip Marksman.
Job Title- operations manager.
Years Of Experience - < 20 Years.
How is mathematics applied in your everyday life?
What math solutions do you use in your work?
What is the difference in mathematics then and now?
What were mathematics generally used for then and now?
What jobs use mathematics on a full scale?
Does maths make any sense and why?
Do you think the methods they use in schools are suitable?
What would you change in the school's mathematics curriculum?
What would you change in mathematics on the whole?
What subject do you prefer, maths or english?
He uses it through calculations for engineering solutions.
Trigonometry , calculus and algebra.
Then in mathematics you had to learn formulas ,today you have calculators with built in formulas.
Then mathematics were generally used for addition,subtraction,multiplication and division. Now arithmetic is generally used for I.T. solutions.
Gomatic, surveying, engineering and accounting.
Yes, why for example trigonometry assists in surveying where there are times one angle and one side is known and the job requires that the other sides be calculated in a traverse.
Not good ,why for example students find it harder to easily grasp mathematical formula such as for “sin,cos and tan”
Laplace transforms, why to make the understanding more simpler.
I would like to change the way to explain solutions.
Mathematics .
My conclusion is that mathematics is easier now than then, now we've been given benefits like calculators , easier maths format , shorter ways to solve a problem , we have the internet long ago they didn't have the type of stuff they had to learn formulas. We have many things to show formulas.

Good day, Zarin, you did make mistakes with spelling and punctuation but other than that, this paper was very pleasant to read about Charles Augustin De Coulomb and what he contributed, and the interview was indeed enjoyable about the Operations Manager and how Mathematics helps with his job.
ReplyDeleteGood day Zarin your work was very please y and tidy but why is there a big space between the interview and the mathematician? Plus you could’ve put the mathematician picture at top and then put the description but other than that it was very interesting to read and quite fun. Wonderful work!!
ReplyDeleteHey there Zarin I adore reading your blog alot, unfortunately there are some spelling and diacritical marks but other than that reading your blog about Charles Angustin was pretty pleasant so was your interview on the Operation Manager.(•‿•)
ReplyDeleteHello zarin,so i read your blog it was fine except that you needed at least five references,you were also not supposed to used the word i in the introduction and finally but not least your interview was well done.
ReplyDeleteMust say well done Zarin the blog was short and sweet nothing to make the people fall asleep ,it was very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes but as Richard and Lily Ann said you wasn't suppose to use I in the introduction like I did myself and there were a few spelling and grammatical error.
ReplyDeleteZarin...I actually enjoyed reading your blog also enjoyed reading the interview paart..Excellent work
