Mathematics

Mathematics is the gate and key of the Science. According to the famous Philosopher Kant, "A Science is exact only in so far as it employs Mathematics". One who is ignorant of mathematics cannot know other things of the world. Again, what is worse , who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance and do not seek any remedy. Hence, I chose this subject as it would be more than useful for me in my everyday life. I have learned alot throughout this whole semester with all of the assignments given. 

                First and foremost, I had my first assignment  which was to calculate the total surface area and volume of an object. We had to do this in a group. This assignment made us more familiar to the geometric and 3D objects. We could calculate  the volume and total surface area without a problem. We just had to draw the object, seperate them into a few elevations and calculate. This had helped me a lot by expanding my mathematical concepts and their application for our basic mathematics purpose while applying it in our daily life. Aside from that, the fundamental basic of mathematics principle, area and volume were also understood as well.

                Secondly, we had our second assignment which was also our last assignment. We were to collect analytical data on surveys and statistics to propose on opening a new restaurant in Taylor’s Lakeside. We had to collect data from the society by having them fill up the surveys we have prepared. After collecting around 150 surveys, we compile it together and transfer the data into appropriate diagrams such as histogram, pie chart and so on. Furthermore, we had to do conclusions from the data we have received  After all of this done, we had to put it into a report and hand it in. It was an interesting assignment because we also had to learn to compromise between one another as well as to cooperate as this is a group assignment. We also worked on our communication skills as we had to communicate with strangers for the to complete our surveys. In addition, we could apply and understand the fundamental basic of mathematics principle, which is statistics.

                In a nutshell, I have learned a lot from all of these assignments. I have understood more clearly of all the topics such as basic algebra, trigonometry, differentiation, circles, integration and statistics.Moreover, I could also solve problems involving mathematical principle. I also realized how mathematics actually relates to built environment and I started to like it even more. Without a doubt,  I have learned more than I thought I would and it was a pleasure to have taken this subject for this semester.
