Mathematics is a field of science that studies numbers and how they are used. It includes calculations, computations, and problem solving, among other things. It is a subject that is accurate, precise, methodical, and logical. Mathematics has been defined in a variety of ways throughout history; it is an indispensible component of science and is utilized in virtually every discipline, including natural science, engineering, art, and economics. Mathematics is a vital instrument in our lives and in every scientific field that promotes personal growth and development on a broad scale. To avoid chaos and confusion, mathematics makes life smoother and more organized. Problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, and reasoning capacity are some of the traits and talents fostered by mathematics. Other unique skills include analyzing and communicating effectively. Everyone requires mathematics in their daily lives, whether they are a cook or a farmer, a carpenter or a mechanic, a shopkeeper or a doctor, an engineer or a scientist, a musician or a magician. Therefore, it would be impossible to summarize mathematics applications in each field. Through this research document, it is intended to talk about the importance and applications of mathematics in our daily lives.

We spend a lot of our time at work. Around eight hours a day, for at least 40 weeks every year, for 40 years or so… It’s an unsurprising hypothesis that being bored, feeling disconnected, and seeing no point in our work is likely to have a damaging effect. While the impact may not be quite as severe as the often-quoted Dostoevsky prognosis below, people who find no real meaning in their work are likely to suffer (emotionally and perhaps also mentally and physically), especially if they do not have absorbing interests outside work to bolster their self-esteem and sense of self-worth.

For more than two thousand years, mathematics has been a part of the human search for understanding. Mathematical discoveries have come both from the attempt to describe the natural world and from the desire to arrive at a form of inescapable truth from careful reasoning. These remain fruitful and important motivations for mathematical thinking, but in the last century mathematics has been successfully applied to many other aspects of the human world: voting trends in politics, the dating of ancient artefacts, the analysis of automobile traffic patterns, and long-term strategies for the sustainable harvest of deciduous forests, to mention a few. Today, mathematics as a mode of thought and expression is more valuable than ever before. Learning to think in mathematical terms is an essential part of becoming a liberally educated person.

Drawing is a way of engaging memory and imagination simultaneously, both exchanging roles to form orders that both stimulate and regulate experience. Early drawing consisted of tracing ones shadow to remember its object when gone. The line of the profile of a missing lover gives stimulus to our memory in a time of loss but it goes beyond just recalling the precise image of the missing object in one’s memory for it can become the vehicle to enter into ones imagination. It both draws and with draws from its sources and allows entrance into imaginative recollections and collections of time past, present, and future. Drawing is a mechanical process, just as the writing of these words are. It engages one’s mind through the mechanics of the hands and the implement in use. Its form is in the forming. It is physiologically a journey into this discourse of what we know and what we can discover through the training of a line on a surface. A line can be a representation of something or it can ...

A problem is a puzzle or task that requires a logical thought process or fundamental mathematical steps to solve it. The puzzle generally represents the set of questions on the underlined use case which also consist of complete description of the use case along with the set of constraints about the use case. Logic is very importantly used to solve the puzzle or problem. Logic is defined as a method of human thought that involves thinking in a linear, step-by-step manner about how a problem can be solved. Logic is a subjective matter and varies from person to person. Logic is directly linked to the natural intelligence of human being and is a language of reasoning. Logic also represents the set of rules we use when we do reasoning. It is observed that majority of the employment of fresh engineering graduates across the globe is in software and information technology sector.

Problem Solving, Mathematical Investigation and Modeling
The use of problem-solving heuristics or strategies to solve mathematical problems was popularised by Pólya (1957) in his book How to solve it (first edition in 1945). Few educators would talk about solving mathematical problems by investigation. In fact, many educators (e.g., HMI, 1985; Lee & Miller, 1997) believe that mathematical ...

His book How to solve it (ibid) discusses four basic principles of problem solving: 1) understand the problem, 2) devise a plan, 3) carry out the plan, and 4) look back, together with numerous heuristic strategies (e.g., draw a picture, divide the problem, look for similar problems) to address them.

Therefore, the way in which the problem solving question is presented in assessment is important. The value in terms of problem solving will be diminished if, for example: (1) the task within the question is very familiar to the student; (2) the mathematical methods are identified explicitly in the question; (3) the question is highly scaffolded.
The modern inquiry/investigation approach to teaching mathematics calls for a change in the culture of a mathematics classroom. "There is a need to establish classroom norms in which students develop a commitment to tackling chal-lenging tasks and teachers provide judicious support to students" (Diezmann, 2005, p. 3).
This 3 credit course aims to provide future secondary teachers experience in mathematical problem solving and investigations. Over 54 hours students will formulate and solve routine and non-routine math problems. They will learn strategies like heuristics, Polya's problem solving steps, and apply the pigeonhole principle. Assessment includes quizzes, recitation, group projects and problem ...
Based on these models but with some modifications, an investigation model (see Fig. 1) was developed for this study to describe the interaction of these processes. An important difference between a mathematical investigation model and a problem-solving model is the additional phase of problem posing after understanding the task in investigation.

Read through the problems listed below. Most of these problems are taken from the Grade 7 and 8 Mathematics book (Department of Education PNG, Secondary School Mathematics). Solve each problem yourself and write down the strategy that you used to solve the problem. After solving the problems read 'Strategies for Solving Problems'.
Mathematics provides a rich source of tools for problem solving and it would be advisable to use such tried and tested methods. However, mathematics can only be applied to mathematical problems and mathematical modeling is a way of formulating a given problem in a mathematical form. These problem-solving phases are depicted in Fig. 2.2.
