Test I. Answer the following questions intelligently:

1. In your own opinion what will happen to the world without mathematics?
Without Mathematics, the world we live in today wouldn’t have advanced this
much. We would have lived as savages for the rest of the existence of the human race.
Yes, we would still be able to live and survive as we do not have to know prime
knowledge about mathematics to hunt and gather food. Buildings would have had
existed but not as sophisticated and intricate as what we have today but we wouldn’t be
able to improve the quality of life of people. Technology would not exist at best.
Resource depletion would be a common thing because we use them without knowing
that we are not utilizing them better. The human race would have ended hundred years
ago if we have never discovered advance medicine. Mathematics is crowned as the
“Queen of the Sciences” because it was so successful at uncovering the nature of physical
reality.

2. What is the relevance of mathematics in your chosen field of concentration?

As the name suggests, we, Math majors, study Mathematics itself and its beauty
which explains why Mathematics is relevant in our field. We study math to formulate
solutions and solve real-life problems as studying math often draw smarter solutions
than intuition.

3. Would you consider mathematics as a queen of science?

Mathematics, indeed, is the “Queen of the Sciences” because it is the purest of all
the sciences. All other sciences use math as an essential component of their studies.
Galileo once said that Mathematics is the language in which the Natural Physical World
is written. All the other science would just become a barren field of study based on
verbal statements without precision.

4. Provide the 15 numbers from the left of the Fibonacci sequence.

-610 -377 -233 -144 -89 -55 -34 -21 -13 -8 -5 -3 -2 -1 1

5. Expound why mathematical jargons are important to the scientists, mathematicians and
engineers?
Scientists, mathematicians and engineers deal with mathematics everyday given
their field of study, and to perform well they need proper communication with their
colleagues and the people around them. Since Mathematics is a broad topic or field, you
may say the same or similar things but not mean the same things. Mathematical jargons
then play an important role as it helps people who deal with math everyday understand
each other better; to say and mean the same thing. Knowing Mathematical jargons
means that you understand the concepts as well as you’d probably not use it if you do
not understand fully.

Test III. Perform The Following:

1. Use Vedic mathematics principle to obtain the product:
a) 54 36

15 30

12 24

Group 1 – 24 → 4 carry 2
Group 2 – 30+12 = 42+2 = 44 → 4 carry 4
Group 3 – 15+4 = 19
 Therefore,

b) 27 23

4 6

14 21

Group 1 – 21 → 1 carry 2
Group 2 – 6+14 = 20+2 = 22 → 2 carry 2
Group 3 – 4+2 = 6

Therefore,

c) 29 42

8 4

36 18
 Group 1 – 18 → 8 carry 1
Group 2 – 4+36 = 40+1 = 41 → 1 carry 4
Group 3 – 8+4 = 12

Therefore,

d) 31 50

15 0

5 0

Group 1 – 0
Group 2 – 0+5 = 5
Group 3 – 15

Therefore,
