USAGE OF MATHEMATICS IN TOURISM
Mathematics is very important not only in our daily lifes,but also while we travel !
Following are some of the ways Math comes to our assistance when we pack our bags and head out for a journey-
DISTANCE CALCULATION
One might be travelling to a tourist destination on the outskirts of their city,or to another country halfway across the planet,it is always necessary to calculate the distance one is travelling,Distance Calculation while tavelling or before travelling helps us all in calculating the time the journey would take,what the neccessary equipments and items would be required for that time period,how much litres of petrol would be required for the journey and how much money would be needed to buy that much petrol based on the mileage of the car...the list can go on and on.We can definetely say,it is only after complex mathematical analysis that one can plan a perfect travel plan !
Financial Analysis and Calculations
Whenever you go out to travel,it is very important to analyse your expenditure so as to ensure a comfortable journey.Be it paying food bills,hotel rent,toll taxes,taxi feesorany other thing,it is of paramount importance to analyse and calculate everything .In today's world when everybody is trying to make money any way possible, calculating the taxes and MRP while paying for buying anything is very important to prevent somebody from cheating you.
Currency Conversion
Whenever travelling abroad,getting currency exchanged is extremely essential.In today's time when the economy is as unstable as it is,the exchange rates of currencies continue to change almost everyday,so calculating them and analysing if they may rise and fall in the coming days and then deciding to convert the currency only after that is extremely crucial.If you fail to use our mathematical skills while getting your currency exchanged,you may run out of money while travelling, or worse still,run out of it when you come back home....
Shopping On The Go...
Who doesn't like to shop,buy souvenirs and collect memorabilia for friends,family and yourself while travelling ? But while doing so,it is always essential to calculate and make sure that the prices being given are proportionate to the prices in other places,otherwise smart locals might to cheat you out to spend more thanyou should !
