Role of

Mathematics in
Science and
Technology
A Presentation by Arti Yadav
Maths is the basis upon which Modern Science has been built & as a
consequence , the modern technological development rests

MATHEMATICS is the language in which pages of

science are written

No technological development can occur without

MATHEMATICAL ESTIMATIONS & LOGIC…….
 Maths finds its role in
physics
Physicists use algebra, calculus, differential equations, linear
algebra, group theory, topology and more to unveil the mechanisms
that occur on sub-atomic scales, relativistic scales and everyday
scales.

differentiation, integration, vectors and many

other are required for solving various concepts in
Physics.

physical properties of any matters can be defined only after the

derivation of any equations, without any derivations we can't say
it is working under this process or that process

Partial differential equation finds applications

in electric & magnetic field
 Differential
Calculus is applied in geometry is applied in
General relativity
classical mechanics
Applications of it in
different branches of
Physics
Vector calculus is M atrices & group
theory is applied in
applied in Quantum field
Electromagnetism theory
Role of Mathematics in Chemistry

 Chemists use
Maths for
calculating Energy
in reactions.
Compressions of
gas
Ratio & Proportions are used for
mixing solutions of certain
Percentage & Ratio
molarities For estimation of
element in organic
chemistry
Proportional
reasoning for
analysis of
Molecular
structures
Algebra & graphs
for analysis of
experimental plots of
reaction ,gas laws
 For balancing
chemical reactions

•K2Cr2O7 + 6KI + 7H2SO4 ---------- 

4K2SO4 + Cr2(SO4)3 +7H2O +3I2

Different branches of chemistry
are dependent on various
We come to know
about the quantity
applications of Mathematics like
of substance to be Thermodynamics, organic
measured by using chemistry, Inorganic chemistry ,
Mathematical Physical chemistry etc
formulae
 Determining the
dimensions, velocity
etc of planetary
bodies
Calculating
distance to an
object in the
sky
 Counting sources
, entities or
objects in the sky

Astronomers use
Maths when they
take off from Earth,
to control & steer
using degrees
Calculating drug doses.

Ratios and proportions :

administering medication

Drawing up statistical graphs of epidemics or

success rates of treatments. 
 Math applies to x-rays and CAT scans. 

Medical imaging works because of a combination of very careful measurement techniques,

sophisticated computer algorithms, and powerful mathematics.
 Role of Mathematics in Biotechnology
Matching & deleting
sequence of DNA & finding
estimation of DNA requires Calculus, Linear algebra ,
Maths Graph geometry, Coding
theory etc finds application
Calculating composition of
any culture

Big role in
to scale up a recombinant product or Bioinformatics,Biostatistics
to do a genomic analysis of an isolate are used in respect to Maths
or to understand and model a reaction like finding previous data
ROLE OF
MATHEMATICS IN
TECHNOLOGY
 Calculator
Most common
tool used in Maths

Radio Cellphone
MATHS IN
Also uses TECHNOLOGY Uses binary
Mathematics system ,co-ordinates

Speedometer Computer
Takes derivative of
the odometer which Using binary no. ,
measures the codes in translating
distance travelled data
Conclusion

Maths are the pillars on which

society of science & Technolo
are standing
