The study of Math is all around us even in our military and defense. It seems like it would be a straightforward two plus two equals four approach but it is so much more difficult than that. All of this goes on behind the scenes so the American people will never know.
Mathematics play an important role in fixing Army issues dealing with materials, Intel, robots, testing, evaluations, decision-making, training, and logistics. Math is used simply in the soldiers everyday life when adding and subtracting simple problems but it is way deeper than that the men and women protecting our country have to try to figure out the budget and how much they can afford to even keep out defenses up. This includes making decisions and taking care of contracts and checking bids to get the best most beneficial deals for the country. Math is used in training they have to learn how to call in air strikes and use coordinates all while taking into account enemy positions, wind, weather, and their own positions. This all uses equations that are more difficult than anything you will ever be taught in school.
The military logistics are off the charts they have to coordinate the “1.4 million” members of the military not including all the special operators, secret agents, and spies. This all takes numbers, numbers of planes, gas, and time all have to be taken into account. There are no easy decisions for these generals, but everyone thinks all they do is sit at a desk and push pencils when in reality they are doing complex equations. There risks are huge it isn’t a problem you get marked wrong on a test there are human lives at stake and these problems can’t be wrong.
The military has undercover operations that nobody in the general public has access to. They are building things that can protect us and even shoot down nuclear bombs from North Korea. This is all protected by a complex system of numbers and codes created by near geniuses. These people are coders and create lines of numbers that even the smartest people other countries have can’t figure out and if they did we would be in a would of hurt from them seeing our secrets. Everything now is password protected and you can bet that our government does not want our secrets getting out.
