Technical Math: Functions & Applications

 

** 
Relevant Material: "Mathematical functions have applications in many everyday tasks and complex fields, including calculating the area of a room (length x width) and determining the cost of goods based on quantity. They are also used in science and technology for modeling, like predicting weather or stock prices, and in engineering for designing circuits. 
Everyday applications 
  • Finance: Functions help with budgeting, calculating loan interest, and managing personal finances. They are used to determine the total cost of a purchase or calculate profit based on sales.
  • Cooking: Baking and cooking rely on functions for converting units, such as scaling a recipe up or down (e.g.,
    22
    cups of flour for a given amount of liquid).
  • Travel: Functions are used to calculate travel time based on distance and speed, or to determine the cost of a trip.
  • Health and fitness: Calculating Body Mass Index (BMI) is a common example, where weight and height are the inputs and BMI is the output. 
Professional and scientific applications 
  • Engineering: Functions are crucial for electrical engineers to analyze circuits, for mechanical engineers to design systems, and for civil engineers to model structures.
  • Computer science: Functions power many applications, from mapping digital information like images and music to specific data points, to creating algorithms for speech recognition and data processing.
  • Biology: Functions are used to model biological processes, such as the rate of a chemical reaction or the spread of a disease.
  • Business and finance: Functions are used in forecasting market trends, optimizing supply chains, managing risk, and calculating taxes.
  • Physics: Functions are used to describe physical phenomena, from the motion of a projectile to the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. .." (Google)
