Applied mathematics provides uswith answers and solutions. It is used in numerous ways. A few examplesare numerical analysis, engineering and programming. In these and otherareas, applied mathematics takes problems from real life, and gives us successful and creative tools for solving them. Often, the first step when usingapplied mathematics is to create a mathematical model. This is a descriptionof the problem in mathematical terms.
This model is then studied to obtainexact or approximate solutions. If the solution is exact, the model is appliedto the problem; if it is approximate, the model is refined until it is exact.Then, conclusions are interpreted and explained in comprehensible terms.Often the model is changed to be more realistic. So the modeling processmay involve many adjustments. The second stage is the final solution to theproblems mathematically formulated in the first stage.It is often not clear which mathematical tools will be useful in the studyof a new problem, for example, algebra or differential calculus.
For this reason, applied mathematicians need to be well trained in a range of mathematical areas so they will have a wide variety of mathematical tools available to32them. They must not only be skilled mathematicians but must also be knowledgeable in the specific area to which mathematics is being applied. Forexample, in dealing with business and industry, knowledge of economics isnecessary.When it comes to creating models, the mathematician will make choicesabout which factors to include and which to exclude.
The goal is to producea model that is realistic enough to reflect the main aspects of the problembeing studied, but simple enough to be treated mathematically.Sometimes the mathematician has to either simplify this model so it canbe analysed, or devise new mathematical methods that will allow the modelto be analysed. Problems sometimes lead to new mathematical methods,and existing mathematical methods often lead to a new understanding of theproblem.Vocabulary development3.4.

Computers are concerned primary with the processingof information, which is found in many forms including information required for business transactions, information on materials and productsmade during the manufacturing processes, or information required to monitor and control the operation of complex processes of satellite systems.Computers also may be used to control devices which help the physicallyhandicapped, or to provide detailed maps of land use from information collected by satellite observation.
The effective use of information has becomecrucial in the management of most businesses and industries. Consequently,information is now regarded as a major resource, just as people are an important resource, in most enterprises.IT professionals have a crucial and challenging part to play in the effective application of computers and computing technology. The ever-growinglist of activities to which computing is applied can impress everybody. Mostprofessional IT work can be classified into three broad areas: informationsystems, computer engineering and computer science. Information systemsarea is engaged with designing and implementing systems which collect,validate, store and report information from customers or other businesstransactions.
