Mathematics in Everyday Life How many times have you students asked "When are we ever going to use this in real life?" You’ll find the answer here! Or You may find yourself wondering what use we have for some of the knowledge we obtain from math class in school. It is sometimes difficult for students to appreciate the importance of Mathematics. They often find the subject boring and hard to understand. With this project we will hopefully help our students realize that Mathematics is not just a

Right from my school‚ I had a penchant towards Mathematics‚ Science and research in general. This basic interest led me to take up Mathematics‚ Physics and Chemistry as my major subjects in high school. I was so intrigued by the working of electronic devices and the logics. This interest made me to take Electronic and TC Engineering. I would like to present my past performance as my credentials for my success in my future endeavors. My innate strength has been my quantitative and analytical abilities

------------------------------------------------- What is math anxiety? Math anxiety is an intense frustration‚ and the fear of failing‚ freezing up‚ or forgetting what to do in the area of mathematics. Math anxiety is a lack of confidence in one’s self to do well in math and the notion of being judged‚ or made fun of for not doing well. Math anxiety is an emotional reaction to mathematics based on a past and unpleasant experience which has damaged a student’s self-esteem and thus‚ harms future opportunities to better their math skills

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Mathematics is one of the subjects taught in school. In our everyday life we encounter Math; some find it interesting but still many find it difficult and even despise it. It is commonly perceived to be difficult. Attitude towards mathematics plays a crucial role in the teaching and learning processes of mathematics. Researchers concluded that positive attitude towards mathematics leads students towards success in mathematics. In education‚ research suggests that student

the fact that the curves had been under scrutiny by the Greeks‚ the greatest exponents of geometry‚ shows their inclination toward some algebra. Numerical approximations for pi also heavily featured geometry in an otherwise arithmetic branch of mathematics. Pi itself is a constant‚ unlikely‚ one would think‚ to have anything remotely to do with geometry. But attempts to find and approximate the value of pi have used geometry. Ptolemy of Alexandria used a 360 sided polygon inscribed within a circle
