Applied and Ethnomathematics

Applied and cultural mathematics integrates mathematical concepts with real-world phenomena, connecting abstract theories to tangible contexts such as physics, economics, and cultural heritage. The studies under this theme demonstrate how mathematical principles underpin practical systems – from modeling wave equations in physical vibrations to applying arithmetic progressions in business economics. Additionally, the exploration of ethnomathematics highlights the presence of mathematical patterns in traditional art and cultural designs, such as those found in Wau motifs. Collectively, these works exemplify how mathematics transcends the boundaries of science, reflecting its universal role in understanding both natural and cultural systems.
