Mattingly "AI & Prompt Design: The Basics of Prompt Design"
Use of mathmatics
1.
2. Mathematics may be described as the fundamental science. It may be broadly
described as the science of space, time and number. The universe exists in space and
time, and is constituted of units of matter. To calculate the extension or
composition of matter in space and time and to compute the units that make up
the total mass of the material universe is the object of Mathematics. For the space-
time quantum is everywhere full of matter and we have to know matter
mathematically in the first instance.

4. Some people aren't even out of bed before encountering math. Setting an
alarm and hitting snooze, they may quickly need to calculate the new time
they will arise. Or they might step on a bathroom scale and decide that
they’ll skip those extra calories at lunch. People on medication need to
understand different dosages, whether in grams or milliliters. Recipes call
for ounces and cups and teaspoons --all measurements, all math. And
decorators need to know that the dimensions of their furnishings and rugs
will match the area of their rooms

5. IN TRAVEL Travelers often consider their miles-per-gallon when fueling up for daily
trips, but they might need to calculate anew when faced with
obstructionist detours and consider the cost in miles, time and money. Air
travelers need to know departure times and arrival schedules. They also
need to know the weight of their luggage unless they want to risk some
hefty baggage surcharges. Once on board, they might enjoy some common
aviation-related math such as speed, altitude and flying time.
6. AT SCHOOL AND WORK
Students can’t avoid math -- most take it every day. However, even in
history and English classes they may need to know a little math. Whether
looking at time expanses of decades, centuries or eras or calculating how
they’ll bring that B in English to an A, they’ll need some basic math skills.
Jobs in business and finance may require sophisticated knowledge of how
to read profit and earning statements or how to decipher graph analyses.
However, even hourly earners will need to know if their working hours
times their rate of pay accurately reflects their paychecks.
7. PASTIMES Even off-time can be math time. Baseball fans know a lot about statistics,
whether they’re considering basic win-loss ratios, batting averages or pitchers'
earned-run-averages. Football fans know about yardage gains and passing
stats. And individual athletes, whether runners, bikers, sailors or hikers, often
have their own ways of charting their progress, from time to mileage to
elevation.
9. What is Geometry?
Geometry is one of the classical disciplines of math.
Roughly translating in Greek as "Earth Measurement", it
is concerned with the properties of space and figures.
It is primarily developed to be a practical guide for measuring
lengths, areas, and volumes, and is still in use
up to now.
12. Area problems are one of the most common uses of
geometry in our everyday lives. Let's say you need to install
new carpet in your bedroom. How much carpet
will you need to buy? Measure your room's length and width
and then multiply them together to find out how many square feet
of carpeting is needed. This is represented by the formula A = L x
W, or area equals length times width. If, for example, your room is
12 feet by 10 feet, you will need 120 square feet of carpet.
13. Another area problem you may encounter is determining how
many cans of paint to buy to cover
your walls. The label on the gallon of paint tells you it will
cover 400 square feet. You measure your walls and find that
the room you want to paint has walls of the following dimensions:
10 ft x 10 ft, 10 ft x 8 ft, 10 ft x 10 ft and 10 ft x 8 ft. So you need
to cover the areas of 100 square feet + 80 square feet + 100 square
14. Perhaps you are planning a garden. A bag of
fertilizer says it can cover 100 square feet. You need to know how
many bags you will need. Measure the area of your
garden (length times width) to find your area. Let's
say my garden measures 40 feet by 20 feet. That means I need to
cover 800 square feet of area with fertilizer. Divide 800 by 100 and
you get 8. We need 8 bags of fertilizer for my garden.
15. A mechanical engineer designs machines ranging
from tiny gearsets to large construction cranes.
Using geometry, he determines the strongest shapes for
mechanical parts. He calculates the area, weight and
volume of pieces and ensures that a machine's
thousands of moving parts fit together and don't
interfere with one other.

16. A surveyor uses trigonometry, a branch of geometry, to
measure distances and angles between points on land.
Trigonometry uses the mathematical properties of right triangles;
by measuring one angle and one distance, the surveyor can
calculate the lengths of the other sides and the angles between
them. While computerized and automated equipment now does
the actual work of calculation, the surveyor must understand the
principles behind the calculations to perform the measurements

17. A mathematician uses sophisticated conceptual tools to
investigate the properties of shapes. Using proofs, which
justify geometric ideas in a clear, step-by-step manner, he lays the
mathematical foundations for new ideas in geometry. The
mathematician then publishes these ideas, and people of
other occupations adopt them in useful ways. The
mathematician also educates and trains students in using

18. A graphic designer studies how basic geometric shapes
combine into artistic visual layouts in two and
three dimensions. A graphic artist uses geometric
concepts such as perspective and golden ratios
to create the most pleasing designs. He uses
computer graphical tools that break complex, realistic

Primitive forms of trigonometry were used in the construction of these wonders of the world.

Astrophysics
Salary and Benefits
The median salary for Astronomers is
$97,270 a year, with most entry level jobs
amounting to around $50,000 a year.
As an aside to being an astronomer, one
can also acquire a teaching position at a
