It goes without a saying that the pandemic COVID-19, is the main crisis we are facing today, not just in several countries but the whole earth. We are already living in the era of modern and digital age, wherein science and technology are the main components, controlling the world that we have today. In this paper we would include Mathematics to lay out its significance in this crucial time. Everyone agrees that learning math is difficult, but some people believe math is vital and a few people believe math isn’t important. Math is vital for 3 reasons: math is everywhere, children need math, and God created math.
The first reason math is valuable is that math is everywhere. Math is used in everyday activities; it’s useful, and necessary. Math is there to support us, to remain well-ordered, to support us learn new things, and to enable us teach new things. Students will become adults who use math in their work. Every kind of career uses math; for example, musicians, accountants, fashion designers, and the parents are using mathematics. Yet math isn’t just used for things you do. It also provides order to everything around you; the world is ordered basically because it was made entirely of math.
The second reason math is significant towards children is that it teaches a lot lesson. It maybe the basic one but it also teaches patience, children are aggressive when they want something, while math it teaches you, that first you need patience and use the correct instruction and with that all you can have an answer. The parents’ job is to assist their children age to become good those who are patient and wise, who want to be told even more about anything and everything. Their future depends on what they need learned and if they need learned mathematics, then they’ll be ready to do many alternative things—maybe even anything—when they’re adults.
The last reason is God made math, as simply as that, he made math not because he wants us to suffer but to learn from it and your dreams will come true.
Mathematics has always been a part of our daily lives, whether it is the shallowest or a massive one. But what are the substances of Mathematics in the midst of a pandemic?
As we await for scientists and health practitioners to create a COVID-19 vaccine, there is another, more readily available resource at our reach.
Social distancing, described as steps taken to minimize physical interaction, is the first line of defense for the protection of communicable diseases such as COVID-19. That is because such diseases spread when people cough, sneeze, or touch surfaces.
Social distancing has been a mere solution for this crisis with the help of mathematics, and it works for some but I don’t think it’s a successful solution since even if there’s a social distancing, there were still a lot of people that are crumpled in a place.
Mathematics plays a prominent role in the scientific field. Because people’s lives are involved, it is important that nurses and doctors are very precise in their mathematical calculations. Numbers can give information to doctors, nurses, as well as patients. Numbers are very significant in the medical field. Mathematics could be a vital player in the health arena. Health organizations must obtain accurate data and data to avoid, classify and manage medical conditions. The mastery of health care tools, as well as scientific calculations, will provide efficient and lucrative delivery of services and reduce the potential for medical errors that will lead to malpractice and tragedy. The presence of mathematics within the context of medical theory should ensure that our specialists and nurses are well educated and reliable in their diagnosis and medication. With that mathematics is also remarkable in the health department, it’s not just consultation but it’s with a proper mathematicial calculations.
Math in the term of Social, is a method that uses simple contrasts to make massive numbers comprehensible and convincing. Use social math helps activists to think about facts and data by placing them in a concrete social context.
For instance, it is whats like our Department of Health are doing, they are monitoring about the total number of cases we have day to day. They reports about the new cases from NCR to different regions and also the recoveries. It is evident that Mathematics is significant in this trying times. For the reason that without the reports, we couldn’t be monitoring on what’s the latest in our country today. It is substantial in our country for the reason that it keeps us updated.
Lastly, Mathematics through economic implications, this means that an action will affect the economy as a whole. Since in Philippines has been under enhanced community quarantine for over 2 months now, “MANILA, Philippines (3rd UPDATE) – Inflation decelerated to 2.2% in April 2020 as oil prices in the global market plummeted to historic lows and market activities hibernated amid the coronavirus crisis.
The latest figure announced by the Philippine Statistics Authority on Tuesday, May 5, is lower than the 2.5% registered in March 2020 and the 3% recorded in April 2019.” (Rivas, 2020)
“This unprecedented and extreme public health emergency brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic would dramatically slow down economic growth this year, with much of the downturn in the economy occurring in the second quarter. We are expecting a recovery from the second half of this year, backed by government stimulus spending and tighter monetary policy, “said ADB Country Director for the Philippines Kelly Bird (2020)
The economy in the Philippines are greatly affected by this crisis, and with the help of Mathematics, we are able to know this news.
