Mathematics importance in our life

Original language description

Contemporary life demands the requirement to have good mathematical knowledge. Mathematics is important for life and supports all-round personal development. Mathematics significantly influences pupils' and students' education both in a special branch (mathematical knowledge) and in terms of moral education. We can find mathematical application in the nature, technology, architecture, machinery, building industry, in the banking sector, in research, cartography etc. There are very interesting applications in genetics and in using mathematics in the nature. Statistical methods are used in hypothesis testing in genetics. By using mathematics, we can create statistical descriptions of quantitative relations. When we process research data, we need arithmetical diameter, scattering, standard deviation etc. In our paper we focus on the use of mathematics in human life. Our aim is to demonstrate that mathematics is not only the basis in technical fields but is also applied in the nature (some mathematical theories). Mathematics is the basis for research methods. We can develop pupils' interest in mathematics with the help of quality education, because mathematics is a part of our daily routine and influences the quality of our life and the quality of our professional orientation. We carried out a research with the aid of a questionnaire to find out the interest in mathematics in pupils. We sent the questionnaires to selected schools. The questionnaire consists of 11 questions. Four questions were closed and seven were open. Our goal was to increase the pupils' interest in mathematics. We wanted to influence the professional orientation of pupils and students and make them interested in technical fields, which are more useful in the labour market.
