Mathematics of Shapes and Applications

The video tutorial explores the distinction between pure and applied mathematics, using examples like tic-tac-toe to illustrate pure math concepts. It then delves into applied mathematics, focusing on solving real-world problems, such as financial math. The tutorial further examines a real-world scenario, teaching students how to analyze and solve it using mathematical tools. Finally, it covers the calculation of areas using composite figures, emphasizing the importance of breaking down complex shapes into simpler ones for easier computation.
