4. Introduction
In our daily life, we use
mathematics in various
fields. This paper portraits
the role of mathematics in
all aspects of our daily life.
We know that mathematics
is applied directly or
indirectly in our everyday
life. Let us see some of their
applications below:

6. Geometry in Nature
A honeycomb is an array of
hexagonal (six sided) cells,
made of wax produced by
worker bees. Hexagons fit
together to fill all the available
space, giving a strong structure
with no gaps. Squares would
also fill the space, but would
not give a rigid structure.
Triangles would fill the space
and be rigid, but it would be
difficult to get honey out of
their corners.

8. Cars
The wheels and lights are
circles, the doors are
rectangular prisms, the
main area for a person to
drive and sit in it a half a
sphere with the sides
chopped off which makes it
¼ of a sphere. If a person
would look very closely he
would see a lot more
shapes in the car. Too many
to list.

10. Math In Medicine
Much of the function of a
protein is determined by its
shape and how the pieces
move. Mad cow disease is
caused by the introduction of a
“shape” into the brain (a shape
carried by a protein).Many
drugs are designed to change
the shape or motions of a
protein something that we are
just now working to model,
even approximately, in
computers, using geometry
and related areas.

11. Engineering
If it is rainy and cold outside, you will be
happy to stay at a home while longer and
have a nice hot cup of tea. But someone
has built the house you are in, made sure
it keeps the cold out and the warmth in,
and provided you with running water for
the tea. This someone is most likely an
engineer.
Engineers are responsible for just about
everything we take for granted in the
world around us, from tall buildings,
tunnels and football stadiums, to access
to clean drinking water. They also design
and build vehicles, aircraft, boats and
ships. What’s more, engineers help to
develop things which are important for
the future, such as generating energy
from the sun, wind or waves.
Mathematics is involved in everything an
engineer does, whether it is working out
how much concrete is needed to build a
bridge, or determining the amount of
solar energy to power a car.
