Facts and Formulae

When any mathematical rules and principles are expressed with the help of significant symbols at that time those rules are called “facts and formulae”. It is really important to know the importance and right usage of “facts and formulae” to solve larger mathematical problems.

This article is mainly focused on “facts and formulae” and in response to this definition and concept of “facts and formulae” has been discussed. Along with that, a few important formulae, as well as the importance of formulae, have been incorporated in this article for a better understanding of “facts and formulae”. Not just only in the field of mathematics and biology but also in real lives “Facts and formulae” are used.

Definition and the mathematical concept of facts and formulae

Formulae are considered as rules, principles, or rules that are represented in the terms of mathematical symbols in mathematics. Equalities, equations, inequalities, asymptotic expressions, and identities are also included in the examples of “facts and formulae”. Usage of “facts and formulae” can be seen everywhere, however, the most common usage of “facts and formulae” is to mean sensational formulas. Sensational formulas are also known as propositional formulas and these kinds of formulas are in calculi that are mainly propositional. The term “formulae” is considered as the correct Latin plural form of “formula”. However, the most widely used plural form of “formulae” is “formulas” “formula” which sounds less pretentious compared to the correct one. 

On the other hand, it can be also said that when rules or facts are written with few mathematical symbols at that time those are called “formulae”. Two or more two quantities are generally connected with help of “facts and formulae” with an “equal to” sign. If a person knows the value of a quantity and that person wants to know the value of other quantities. In such a case, that person can find out the value of other quantities with the help of “facts and formulae”

There are several practical usages of “facts and formulae” in several scientific disciplines such as biology, engineering, and so on. “Facts and formulae” are used for determining patterns or styles in architecture and are also used in a few words that are related to finances.

Important formulae of geometry

There is a huge number of “facts and formulae” and few of them have been provided in this article.

Formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + width)

Formula to find an area of a rectangle = length x width

Formula to find the perimeter of a square = 4 x length of the side

Formula to find the area of a square = length of the side x length of the side

Importance of facts and formulae

Most people sometimes think about what the importance of “facts and formulae” is. Most people also think that if they know the process of doing basic calculations such as subtraction, addition, division, and multiplication is enough for mathematics. However, knowing these functions is not enough since to solve a longer mathematical problem there always a need for “facts and formulae” can be seen. Formulae are generally equations and these show what the correct process for working something out is. Formulae also state the need for the required thing while solving a particular mathematical problem. If “facts and formulae” will not be used then all the work will have to be done which results in formulae for finding out the answer.

Importance of facts and formulae in real life

In most cases, it is believed by a majority of people that equations or formulae are pure physics or math. As everyone knows the majority of mathematics is based on formulae or equations. Mathematics is widely used in day-to-day lives. Formulae can be expressed in a mathematical format of two equal things. Most electrical things in which chips are used are such as computers, cars, and washers also based on mathematical algorithms and equations. 

Different types of formulae

There are a huge number of different types of formulae and a few of them have been discussed in this article:

Compound interest formulae

These formulae revolve around ways to find compound interest. Compound interest is considered as the additional amount on the deposited principal amount.

Formulae of algebra

Formulae that are used to solve problems regarding algebra in mathematics are considered algebra formulae.

Percentage formulae

Those formulae which are used to find out the percentage of anything are known as percentage formulae.

Formulae of simple interest

These formulae are used to find out the exact amount of simple interest and these are considered as important “facts and formulae” which widely used in real life.

Conclusion

“Facts and formulae” are considered as the rules and principles that are usually expressed by using significant symbols. There is a huge importance of “Facts and formulae” in mathematics. If there is a need to solve large and complicated mathematical problems then it has to be done with the help of “Facts and formulae”. Most electronic appliances that operate with the help of chips also depend on formulae. There, are huge different types of formulae and every formula has its significance and usage. Therefore, knowing the right usage of formulae is important to solve any mathematical problem.
