Maths topics that have helped me understand how math works in real life:
Algebra
Compound Interest
Probability
For me, Algebra has been the core of math for the last few years. Algebra is important since it is the foundation and introduction to advanced mathematics. Algebra is widely used in real-life situations. It has helped in improving my problem solving skills as it taught me to use a logical and structured approach to a question.
Compound Interest is also a key understanding that I have learned. It has helped me understand accelerating growth, long-term savings, how to invest, and how to reach a financial goal achievement. Compound Interest is very important in real-life as it can help grow your wealth overtime and encourage better investing and saving habits.
Probablity is important to me because it provides a way to manage uncertain situations. In some real-life situations, outcomes are uncertain and probability has helped me understand the likelihood of different events and things occurring. Probability is also a core understanding of machine learning. It can enable different machines to make predictions using the data provided.
