Math in The Modern World: Parts of Speech
MATHEMATICAL
LANGUAGE AND
SITUATION
Language is a form of communication that employs words in a predictable and
structured way. It implies that language must serve a purpose independent of itself.
Parts of Speech
There are specific parts of speech used just in English. These include nouns and
adjectives, if you remember. Math also has its own language. These include numerical
values as well as operation, relational, grouping, and variable symbols. I'll give some
samples below; see if you can pick out the appropriate element of speech.
Functions
A function is a relation in which a set of inputs is assigned to a
set of outputs. Each input is exclusively tied to one output.
Another way to say it is: A function fassigns every element in
set A, x, to a single element in set B, y. Symbolically, y=f(x).
One-to-one or Many-to-one
Only one-to-one or many-to-one
functions exist. Take set A as the set
of students and set B as the set of
student numbers, for instance. Since a
student cannot have more than one
student number or have a student
number allocated to more than one
student, this is an example of one-to-
one.
In mathematics, the domain is the input, while the
range is the result. An ordered pair's range represents
the y values, while the domain represents the x values.
Test the items listed below to see if they serve as
examples of functions or not.
Binary Operation
An operation known as a binary operation is one that takes
two input components from a set and produces a singular
output that also comes from that set.

Problem Solving
AND REASONING
Deductive Reasoning and Inductive Reasoning
Inference-making techniques such as deductive reasoning
and inductive reasoning are used to formulate claims about
various mathematical ideas or facts.
Deductive Reasoning
Some people call it "top-down logic." A math formula (such as
area or perimeter, for instance) is an example of a general rule.
It starts with a general case and deduces specific ones.
Additionally, this is a particular circumstance if you are
requested to determine the size and boundaries of your room.
Inductive Reasoning
To arrive at a general rule, one must reason from a particular situation
or cases. Observation, analysis, inference, and confirmation make up the
four phases. Please count to 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. as a benchmark. Each
number is 5 units larger than the one after it, as we could see. As a
result, we can assume that the general norm is to increase the
preceding value by 5 units.
Polya’s Problem Solving Strategy
“A great discovery solves a great problem but there is a grain
of discovery in the solution of any problem. Your problem may
be modest; but if it challenges your curiosity and brings into
play your inventive faculties, and if you solve it by your own
means, you may experience the tension and enjoy the triumph
of discovery.” This was written by George Polya in his book
entitled How To Solve It.
Steps
The following four-step strategy
named after George Polya:
1.Understand the problem
2.Devise a plan
3.Carry out the plan
4.Review the solution
Problem Solving with Patterns
Pascal’s Triangle
Patterns can be related to the Pascal’s Triangle, too.
Let’s consider the number of unique results in our
coin flipping activity. Refer tothe explanation below
then connect the numbers enclosed in parentheses to
the numbers found on the Pascal’s triangle.

Modular Arithmetic Additive inverse -> -5
5 + (-5) = 0 - 0 is the additive
Consider n as a natural number and identity
x and y as two integers. Multiplicative inverse -> 1/5
If the difference between x and y is
exactly divisible by n, then x and y 5 * 1/5 = 1 - 1 is the multiplicative
identity
are congruent modules of n.
Formula:
10 – (sum of all digits except the last
one) mod 10
= 10 – (9+21+8+0+1+9+6+0+1+27+7+0)
mod 10
= 10 – 89 mod 10
=1

UPC Company Prefix
is a 6 to 10-digit number given out by GS1 to distinguish
brand owners who must mark products with UPC
symbols.
Item Reference
assigned by the brand's owner to mention a particular
product.
Check Digit
The 12th digit was calculated using a MOD check digit
calculation using the digits before it.
Alternating digits starting from the first digit is multiplied by
3.
Formula:
10 – (sum of all digits except last one) mod 10
=10 – (0+2+0+3+15+7+3+2+6+6+24) mod 10
= 10 – 68 mod 10
=2

Binary Sum
Remember that in the decimal system, 1 + 1 equals 2.
However, in the binary system, 2 represents the
second place-value rather than a digit.
Decimal
to binary
Steps on how to convert decimal to binary:
1.Divide the number by 2.
2.Get the integer quotient for the next
iteration.
3.Get the remainder for the binary digit.
4.Repeat the steps until the quotient is
equal to 0.
