They stop in a field and look at the peasants in the field.
Imagine a peasant working in an uneducated field. He's never seen a lesson in his life.
Even if he only knows the numbers, his brain turns to him and allows him to make the
necessary calculations to increase productivity. In this simple example you have seen
the necessity of mathematics and the extent to which it is included in our lives.
Aras: I thought mathematics was only learned in school. I'm surprised!
VOLTRON: Now let's go to a house. Do you see the measurements used by the woman
who cooks in the kitchen? Half a glass of sugar, a quarter glass of oil, 10 spoons of flour
and so on. Our mothers use math to adjust the measurements while cooking at home.
Watch the kids in the garden. Children use maths without even realizing it, even to
calculate who has the right to play next. A child who regularly throws the same amount
of money in his piggy bank every day uses math to calculate how much money he has
at the end of a month.
Aras is following with interest. VOLTRON tells him while walking around the city.
VOLTRON: Mathematics is also seen in other fields of science. For example; physics,
chemistry, biology… There is also an intense mathematics in engineering. It is also used
in financial sectors such as trade, economy and business. It is used in some
calculations in the military as well as financial sectors. Mathematics is actually
everywhere.
VOLTRON: But I have another vital situation, and I want you to see it. Have you ever
had a diabetes mate?
Aras: No, it didn't. I didn't even know that children had diabetes (Type 1 diabetes).
Voltron immediately turned to the wall and projected the image of his eyes on the wall.
The mother and daughter sitting at the dinner table were talking sadly.
Mother: Islet, you have Type 1 diabetes so you need to calculate the calories of the
foods you eat and drink throughout your life, and make insulin accordingly.
If you do the wrong calculation, take too much insulin, your blood sugar will fall too
much, you will fall into a coma, if you take less insulin, you will endanger your life. So
you need addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication at every stage of your life.
