Relation of Mathematics with other School subjects:

   Mathematics in Economics

The level of mathematical literacy required for personal and social activities is continually increasing.  Mastery of the fundamental processes is necessary for clear thinking.  The social sciences are also beginning to draw heavily upon mathematics.

Mathematical language and methods are used frequently in describing economic phenomena. According to Marshall – “The direct application of mathematical reasoning to the discovery of economic truths has recently rendered great services in the hand of master mathematicians.” Statistical methods are used in economic forecast different issues of economics can be represented statistically such as ‘Trade Cycles’, Volume trade, trend of exports and imports, population trends, industrial trends, thrift, expenditure of public money etc.,

In economic theory and econometrics, a great deal of mathematical work is being done all over the world. In econometrics, tools of matrices, probability and statistics are used. A great deal of mathematical thinking goes in the task of national economic planning, and a number of mathematical models for planning have been developed. 

  Mathematics in Political Science

In Mathematical Political Science, we analyze past election results to see changes in voting patterns and the influence of various factors on voting behavior, on switching of votes among political parties and mathematical models for Conflict Resolution. Here we make use of Game Theory. 

Mathematics in Geography

            Geography is nothing but a scientific and mathematical description of our earth in its universe.  The dimension and magnitude of earth, its situation and position in the universe the formation of days and nights, lunar and solar eclipses, latitude and longitude, maximum and minimum rainfall, etc are some of the numerous learning areas of geography which need the application of mathematics.  The surveying instruments in geography have to be mathematically accurate.  There are changes in the fertility of the soil, changes in the distribution of forests, changes in ecology etc., which have to be mathematically determined, in order to exercise desirable control over them.

Mathematics in History:

Ø  To know the time period

Ø  To know the birth and death of historical persons

Mathematics helps in Calculation of Dates like duration of Britishers ruled in India? When Gandhi ji was born? Celebrate National Days and festivals, Cost in building of Taj-Mahal. Tenure of President in India. This gives us new information of the historical world. When the First and second world wars were fought? On account of economic considerations industrial revolution in Europe.

MATHEMATICS AND LANGUAGE:

• Math and Reading:- Students read about the discoveries or work of great mathematicians, and they can make poem on numbers.
• Math and Writing (numbers are converted into writing):- A student makes the pie chart and interprets in his own words.

e.g. Counting of alphabet, vowel, Read About The Life History of Mathematicians. Student can draw make a bar graph of time spent in school and home the whole week and can interpret. (Interpretation of Non-Verbal Data)
