    Math is essential for informatics and computers in several ways: 1) Computer programs that deal with images like Photoshop and Illustrator use mathematical matrices to represent images as arrays of numbers corresponding to pixel colors. 2) 3D animation programs like those used by Pixar use complex math operations to calculate how 3D models will appear on screen, applying concepts from differential geometry. 3) Database and spreadsheet programs rely on linear algebra, calculus, and statistics formulas to perform queries, updates, and transformations of stored data. 4) Overall, math is needed at various levels of informatics from analyzing problems to developing algorithmic solutions, and is core to how computers represent and process information

    MATH ON INFORMATICS 2
    How math is applied on informatics

    Since a Little kid, I used to wonder how math is applied in Computing, Programing or Informatics.
    With some research, no easy information is found. Computing can go extreme to extreme, from the point
    of view where its useless to the point where it is your morning bread of each day. It is all related to the
    aspect where we develop it. On this essay we will learn how math is applied on computers software,
    influencing more on video and image edition software.

    A computer is an electronic device which receives and processes data, most of the times a complex of
    numbers. I compare computers with our brains and its commands are our extremities movements. Have
    you ever heard of Flash, Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator? These are programs of image edition based on
    vectors. A vector is a mathematic concept that has magnitude, direction and origin. Paint, Paint Brush
    and Photoshop are similar too. These computer programs use mathematical matrices, an array of
    numbers, symbols or expressions arranged in rows and columns, to represent images. To the computer,
    those images are matrices full of numbers, which represent colors. To crop one picture you use
    mathematical widths, when you draw something, reduce the brightness or add any other effect, the
    software uses mathematical operations with the numbers that represent colors. Pixar, a company that
    makes animated movies, makes them all through computer. Those animation movies in 3D use very
    complex mathematical operations to calculate what the 3D model will show on screen. Pixar uses
    differential and geometry concepts on 3D.

    Moreover, Data Bases use lineal algebra to make query operations and updates. Microsoft Excel,
    the most popular data base software relies on mathematical operation and calculus. Even though we only
    see cells and rows, there is a more complex world behind that. The values we input into those cells can
    be easily, mathematically transformed to graphics. Most of the statistics formulas are used in Microsoft
    Excel to fulfill our needs.


    MATH ON INFORMATICS 3
    In conclusion, Math is essential to informatics and its computers to solve and give solutions,
    easier, quicker and more efficient. I have briefly explained that math in informatics is not only used for
    functions, numbers and Greek numbers, but also on analysis, structures and etc. With math you analyze
    a problem, and then with the language of programming you get the best solution. As I stated before, the
    use of math in this topic is very wide, because informatics has a lot of branches. But it is obviously
    noticed that on each of these, plenty of math process are being solved.
