Something shiny outweighs strife and the mundane droan that sometimes describes life. We then interweave math into our lives by flashing something that shines. How? well look at a diamond. A jeweler weighs a diamond to fit it to a ring. The metals are expensive so an exact precision of measurement is necessary to avoid waste. Math is also used to find out the weight of the stone. The weight of the stone is measured by the proportion of the stones. This is called carat weight. In addition to the carat weight of a diamond, jewelers use precise mathematical formulas to transform a rough diamond into a sparkling jewel that refracts and reflects light. This process gives us the cut of a diamond.
We know that mathematics is the pursuit of pure relationships and science is the pursuit of understanding of nature. A jeweler combines this knowledge and designs a diamond which signifies something to grand and opulent.
The difficulty of the math involved in shaping a diamond is reflective of the price and the weight it holds in society.
