ROLE OF MATHEMATICS IN THE

DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY

Sunita Yadav

Assistant professor of Mathematics

Abstract: - Mathematics is a branch of science, which deals with numbers and their operations. It involves calculation,

computation, solving of problems etc. Its dictionary meaning states that, 'Mathematics is the science of numbers and

space' or 'Mathematics is the science of measurement, quantity and magnitude'. It is exact, precise, systematic and a

logical subject. It may also be defined as, 'Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space and change; it has

historically developed, through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, from counting, calculation, measurement,

and the study of the shapes and motions of physical objects.

Keywords: - Intellectual, Social, Vocational, Moral, Spiritual Development and Women Empowerment.

Introduction: - Mathematics reveals hidden patterns that help us to understand the world around us. Now, much more

than arithmetic and geometry, mathematics today is a diverse discipline that deals with data, measurements and

observations from science, with inference, deduction, and proof; and with mathematical models of natural phenomena,

of human behavior, and of social systems. The literal meaning of mathematics is "things which can be counted" now

you can think that counting has vital role in our daily life; just imagine that there were no mathematics at all, how

would it be possible for us to count members of the family, number of students in the class, rupees in the pocket, runs

in a cricket match, days in a week or in a months or years? On a basic level you need to be able to count, add, subtract,

multiply, and divide.

Even nature also embraces mathematics completely. We see so much of symmetry-around us and have a deep sense

of awareness and appreciation of patterns. Observe any natural thing and find out symmetry or pattern in it. Change

of day into night, summer into winter etc. In plants there are innumerable examples of symmetry, shapes, patterns,

etc. Such examples exist in animals, in objects, in pictures and other things. The sun rises and sets at specified moment.

The stars appear at fixed time. Mathematics runs in the veins of natural sciences like Physics and Astronomy. This

subject is inextricably incorporated with world and the natural phenomena.

Roger Bacon an English Franciscan friar, philosopher, scientist and scholar of the

13th century, once stated:

"Neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other

sciences or the things of the world."

A society, or a human society, is a group of people related to each other through persistent relations, or a large social

grouping sharing the same geographical or virtual territory, subject to the same political authority and dominant

cultural expectations. More broadly, a society may be described as an economic, social, or industrial infrastructure,

made up of a varied collection of individuals.

 Role of Mathematics in Social Development

Man is a social animal and human life depends upon the co-operation of each other. Group work helps social skills.

The ability to work together on tasks with others can build various social skills. In order to live a social life,

mathematical knowledge is needed, because of the give and take process, business and industry depends upon the

knowledge of mathematics. The change in the social structure with regards to the modern facilities like mode of

transport, means of communication and progress in the field of science and technology is due to mathematics only.

In this way mathematics has played an important role in not only understanding the progress of society but also to

develop the society.

 Role of Mathematics in Intellectual Development

Mathematics teaching is very important for intellectual developments there is no other subject in the curriculum likes

mathematics which makes students' brain active. Problem solving helps in the development of mental faculties.

Mental work is needed to solve mathematical problems. If a child, has a mathematical problem her/his brain becomes

active in solving that problem. Each problem of mathematics posses such sequence which is necessary for constructive

and creative process. In this way, all-mental abilities of child are developed through mathematics.

Moreover, mathematics makes the man very calculating so that she/he cans economies time, money, speech, thought

etc. It develops a strong will power, patience and self-reliance. It, also develop the faculty of discovery and invention.

 Role of Mathematics in Vocational Development

The main aim of education is to help the children to earn their living and to make them self independent. To achieve

this aim mathematics is the most important subject than any other. It helps to prepare students for technical and other

vocations where mathematics is applied e.g. engineering, architecture, accountancy, banking, business, even the

agriculture, tailoring, carpentry, surveying, and the office work requires the knowledge of mathematics.

 Role of Mathematics in Moral Development

Morality is the important phase of life, which is most, affected by time, person, situation and place. As a subject,

mathematics can added to students moral development since mathematical knowledge is helpful in character and

personality development. It develops all those quantities which a person of strong character must possess. Child

develops qualities of cleanliness, reality.

 Role of Mathematics in Spiritual Development

Mathematics main potential here seems to be regarding developing the skills of reflection and possibly, for the more

receptive, a sense of the beauty of a solution. One gets pleasure in solving mathematical problems, especially when

she/he gets the correct answers to her/his problem .At that moment every child feels satisfied, confident and self-

reliance. The aesthetic quality of an elegant solution is something that may be lost on a dedicated "mathematics hater".

So the child gets encouragement, satisfaction and happiness in attaining remarkable achievements. Therefore

mathematics helps to develop their aesthetic sensibility, meets the varying interests and helps them in the proper

utilization of their leisure time.

 Role of Mathematics in Cultural Development

This helps the learner to understand the contribution of mathematics in the development of civilization and culture. It

has enabled her/him to understand the role of mathematics in fine arts and in beatifying human life.

 Role of Mathematics in the Development of Education System:

In education system, mathematics plays an important role in shaping the future probability of young people. Education

is to develop an individual, to make her/him self-reliant, to make her/him wise, to make her/ him a social contributor

and in our education system, for almost every subject, we study in school and university; we need to study

mathematics too e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Life-Science, Economics, Business and Accountancy, Geography, History,

Psychology, Architect, Designing, Computes, Statistics, Commerce etc. Also in vocational areas like Tailoring,

Carpeting, Cooking, Beauticians, Sportsperson, Farming etc, mathematical knowledge is needed. Even the

professions like, Conductor, Shop Keeper, Drivers, Musicians, Magicians, Cashiers etc use basic mathematical

concepts.

 Role of Mathematics in Development of Economics:

Mathematics is of central importance to modern society. It provides the vital underpinning of the knowledge of

economy. It is essential in the physical sciences, technology, business, financial services and many areas of ICT. It is

also of growing importance in biology, medicine and many of the social sciences. Mathematics forms the basis of

most scientific and industrial research and development. Increasingly, many complex systems and structures in the

modern world can only be understood using mathematics and much of the design and control of high-technology

systems depends on mathematical inputs and outputs.

 Role of Mathematics in Development of Science and Technology:

The "functional" aspect of mathematics stems from its importance as the language of Science, Technology and

Engineering, and its role in their development. This involvement is as old as mathematics itself and it can be argued

that, without mathematics, there can be neither science nor engineering. In modern times, adoption of mathematical

methods in the social, medical and physical sciences has expanded rapidly, confirming mathematics as an

indispensable part of all school curricula and creating great demand for university-level mathematical training. Much

of the demand stems directly from the need for mathematical and statistical modeling of phenomena. Such modeling

is basic to all engineering, plays a vital role in all physical sciences and contributes significantly to the biological

sciences, medicine, psychology, economics and commerce. Mathematics has been successfully used in the

development of science and technology in 20th –21 st century.

 The Role of Mathematics Education in Women Empowerment

The importance of Mathematics as a tool for science and technology is continually increasing.

While science and technology have become so pervasive, mathematics education has continued to dominate the school

curriculum and remains a key subject area requirement in higher education and employment sector.

The hue and cry which follows the publication of mathematics results has become an annual ritual. The postmortems

about the results eclipse a number of areas where female students have lagged behind. This has also impacted on

courses and careers sought by women in the working world. They have attributed their failure to perform to expected

standards to lack of sound background knowledge of mathematics. It is this realization that the skills learnt at school

have had very little if any, bearing on what society needs in terms of productive citizens. In this regard, the gender

imbalances in enrolment, achievement at school level, colleges and universities and the employment sector were also

issues of concern. Our societies are becoming more and more technological with a mathematical bias, more attention

being focused on attainment of mathematical competencies.

 Role of Mathematics in Cultural and Moral Development:

Mathematics has its own intrinsic beauty and aesthetic appeal, but its cultural role is determined mainly by its

perceived educational qualities. The achievements and structures of mathematics are recognized as being among the

greatest intellectual attainments of the human species and, therefore, are seen as being worthy of study in their own

right, while the heavy reliance of mathematics on logical reasoning is seen to have educational merit in a world where

rational thought and behavior are highly valued. Furthermore the potential for sharpening the wit and problem-solving

abilities fostered by study of mathematics is also seen as contributing significantly to the general objectives of

acquiring wisdom and intellectual capabilities.

 Role of Mathematics in Development of Medical Science and Agricultural field:

Mathematics is applied to agriculture, ecology, epidemiology, tumor and cardiac modeling, DNA sequencing and

gene technology. It is used to manufacture medical devices and diagnostics, and sensor technology.

There are positive senses in which mathematics is special. First, by virtue of its fundamental nature as a universal

abstract language and its underpinning of the sciences, technology and engineering, mathematics has a claim to an

inherently different status from most other disciplines. Secondly, as we have set out above, mathematics is

fundamentally important in an all-pervasive way, both for the workplace and for the individual citizen.

Conclusion: - Mathematics occupies a crucial and unique role in the human societies and represents a strategic key

in the development of the whole mankind. The ability to compute, related to the power of technology and to the ability

of social organization, and the geometrical understanding of space time, that is the physical world and its natural

patterns, show the role of Mathematics in the development of a Society. The society consists of its members (human

being), who make government and organize the natural resources to develop infrastructure. The human beings are the

one who develop the society. Therefore, we will discuss the role of mathematics in the development of an individual

as well as the development of the society.

Mathematics helps the man to give exact interpretation to his ideas and conclusions. It is the numerical and calculation

part of man's life and knowledge. It plays a predominant role in our everyday life and it has become an indispensable

factor for the progress of our present day world.
