Mathematics at work
People often find it hard to see how the maths we learn at school will still be relevant when faced with the real world. However, on leaving school, they discover that maths is used a lot in almost every aspect of life. Here are some examples of people who use maths in their working lives. David Coulthard, Racing Driver David has been driving in Formula One racing for a number of years. Maths is vital to constructing a race plan in advance. David needs to calculate the number of pit stops required relating to the amount of fuel carried in the vehicle at any one time. Both of these elements have an effect on the overall time of the race. If David has an exceptionally quick pit stop that could mean the difference between winning or losing the race, providing he is carrying enough fuel to last the remaining laps. Mike MacKay, age 24, Chemical Engineer with Esso Works and designs models for the largest oil refinery in the UK, the second largest in Europe. Mike is responsible for planning the output of products from the site. This is possible once the crude oil has been separated into useable components such as petrol, bitumen, jet fuel directly pumped from Fawley to Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester Airport and rubber. He uses maths and modelling to determine the correct strategy. He must ensure that the site runs at optimum levels, but safety is of paramount importance when transporting such highly volatile substances, and this must be taken into consideration. Abby, age 17, Modern Apprenticeship - Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (HNC) with Rolls Royce Abbys job is to work on the giant engine tests and describes the experience of pressing the start button on a Rolls Royce Engine as one of the most exhilarating experiences in the world. She monitors the tests and must respond to the statistical analysis of the test results. Rolls Royce are currently training Abby and will continue to support her to degree level if she continues to be successful at her college studies. Jim Blackler, age 24, Software Designer with Sony Entertainment (PlayStation) Jim designs games for Sony PlayStation, and his current project, has involved designing a football game that Sony hopes to rival the highly successful FIFA 99. Jim is responsible for making the games as realistic and as fun as possible. Unfortunately for Jim this may involve tasks like watching 101 Greatest Goals and playing the games extensively to ensure that they are great to play! His job is now fundamentally based on maths which is used to generate the realistic 3D graphics that the PlayStation generates, and he is even considering going back to college to further his maths education. Vicky Hayes, age 23, Software Engineer with Baltimore Job description: Vicky took a maths degree and works in the very complicated world of cryptography. She is primarily designing electronic security solutions for organisations requiring esecurity. She has recently worked on a project providing security for internet trading.
A road is to have a slope of 1% (that is a one metre rise or fall for every 100 horizontal metres). How much fall does the road have over a distance of 840 metres? (Note: a 1% slope is considered the minimum for good drainage.)
If a road rises 84 metres during a horizontal travel of 1600 metres, what is the % slope? Why would drivers, especially truck drivers, need to know about the slope of a road?
The roads department needs to gravel a new road 2 miles long and 16 feet wide. The gravel needs to be 6 inches deep to meet specifications. How many cubic yards of gravel does the roads department need? (1 yard = 36 inches) If there are 1.8 tons of gravel per cubic yard, how many tons of gravel will the roads department need for the job? A typical dump truck holds 25 tons of gravel. How many dump trucks will it take to deliver the gravel?
A child is entered into the hospital after ingesting 12 aspirin tablets. The Merck Index indicates that renal failure can occur if as little as 3 grams is ingested, and may be fatal if as much as 10 grams is eaten. If each aspirin tablet contains 300 mg of aspirin, is the child in danger of death or renal failure?
The dosage of a certain drug is 1.5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. What dose should be administered to a 140 pound woman?
If the posted speed limit is 70 miles per hour, what is the shortest time that a car can legally travel a quarter mile?
A typical automobile brake pad is 1/2 inch thick. If an average person wears off 6.8 x 10-4 inches of the brake pad in a day, how many years should the brake pad last? If this brake pad has a 30,000 mile guarantee, and a driver averages 46 brake applications per day, how much of the brake pad is worn off during each stop? How much is worn off per mile?
A manufacturer can purchase soap solution in two ways: 500 mL for 13.00 or 4 L for 53.57. Which product is the better buy?
Estimate the number of years an average person sleeps in a lifetime. Hint Guess how many hours an average person sleeps per night. You must consider that older people may only sleep a few hours per night, and infants sleep many more hours per day. Do this in groups, and then compare the group results. Also, think about the length of an average life span.
A manufacturer packs a car window motor into a box 12 cm long by 7 cm wide by 2 cm deep. The warehouse supervisor of Ford Motor Company needs to rent a warehouse to store 150,000 of these motors for the 1999 model year. How much space will he need to store these motors? Is a warehouse space 32 feet by 18 feet, with a height of 8 feet adequate for these motors?
A company builds a warehouse 200 feet long by 90 feet wide. The ceiling is 18 feet high. The company needs two aisles 10 feet wide to run the length of the warehouse, and six aisles the same width to run the width of the warehouse. How much space is available for storage? The same company needs to store boxes 2 feet long by 18 inches wide by 2.5 feet deep in this warehouse. If the boxes can be stacked only 5 high, what is the maximum number of boxes that can be stored in the same warehouse?
