Interdisciplinary perspectives of applying mathematics in high school, real profile

Abstract

Analyzing the concerns of human society, we come to the imminent conclusion that mathematics has a particularly important role in all its spheres, leading to the formation of logical - abstract thinking, to the modeling of natural phenomena, to the systematization and ranking of priorities, as well as to the development of algorithms - basis for the other sciences. The continuous need to discover the analysis models of some phenomena led various researchers towards the improvement of classical mathematics (metrics), coming to be dominated by the algebraic side (the science of the discontinuous) combined with the topological one (the science of the continuum) as a response to the combined character of reality. G. Moisil mentioned "...next to (classical) metrical mathematics, logical structural mathematics was elaborated. Modern mathematics is a science dominated by the category of structure" [1]. According to Bellman, the proof of knowledge of phenomena is the precision of their anticipation, a fact based on formulas and mathematical calculations, and Mircea Malița defines the model as "a mental or written, qualitative or mathematical representation of a part of a reality that constitutes a system", which leads to the idea of its practical and experimental applicability. This article aims to exemplify some practical ways of using mathematics in various disciplines as well as to capitalize on the practical side in several other fields.
