Born into the newly introduce The Seventh Malaysia Plan. I have grown up in a time of huge economical upheaval. Surrounded by an-ever changing economic environment, I remember asking my father what exchange rates were. In return, when presented with an analogy of supply and demand that involved an array of animals, little did I appreciate that I had come across the basis for economics. I have since observed Malaysia's rapid development, but also evidence of poor macroeconomic management, such as the lingering presence of corruption - crippling to the country's economic stability. Over the years, my initial childhood curiosity has grown into a passion for economics. As a strong Maths student, I derive great satisfaction from solving problems that initially seem impossible. Representing my school at the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge, as well as the national finals of the Science and Technology …show more content…
An idea from the book that greatly interests me is that a small minority of people are truly good at what they do; only a minority of mathematicians create good mathematics and the majority merely talk about it. Hardy shows his strongest prejudices when he discusses the usefulness of mathematics. His views will certainly be debated forever. I believe that Economics augments Mathematics by providing a rational approach to solving problems in decision-making, allocation, forecasting and evaluation. By integrating all elements, uncertainty will be reduced and forecasting could be done accurately. I find it particularly interesting that oligopolists use game theory to anticipate competitors' actions relative to a sum, comparing the risks and potential benefits of certain business strategies, because this inevitably involves a degree of psychology and philosophy - a testament to the diverse nature of economics, which is beautifully demonstrated by the prisoner's
The primary goal of this project was to examine the math bowl and try to improve upon it. After three years of being a member of the Montana tech math club I was given the opportunity to run it. So, with the resources available to the math club, I attempted to organize and promote another math bowl completions. Through running this event I hoped to gain insight on short coming that the math club faced. One of these was the lack of participation from the math club members.
Studying Maths has extremely engaged me as it gives me an insight to mathematical theories. Maths uses its own language of numbers, formulas and rules to communicate across ideas through mathematical models. Moreover, Maths has enabled me to understand the mathematics that reinforce many aspects of our lives. It has assisted me to apply a range of Maths skills to real world situations and have the ability to interpret and analyse information. These are the skills that I have developed which I hope to express in my undergraduate degree.

Being a math tutor for the Math and Human Career Development (HCD) Learning Community Program in Cosumnes River College and an Academic Excellence Workshop facilitator for Physics gave me a deeper understanding of what I was looking for. My passion for Math never fades, and I found back the confidence and determination to pursue what I always want to do now. I am confidently majoring in Mathematics.
In 2016, the mathematics department in my high school experienced a growing disinterest in mathematics amongst the students in the lower years. So in order to reinvigorate excitement for the subject, so they asked the Math-Tutoring Club, which I was the president of at the time. The Club’s duty was to help teach Math to struggling students in both our High School and Public Schools.
However, until grade 7, I had never tried to further my knowledge ahead of the rest of the class. In my last year of elementary I was asked to take part in the Gauss math contest, also being warned that it came with additional amounts of homework. Always up for a challenge I immediately accepted and was rewarded with a second place score. The contest changed my perspective towards math, revealing connections and patterns between past, present, and future concepts. Since then I have continued to take part in annual math contests. Furthermore, I have learned to analyze and compare lessons I’m introduced to in class with previous knowledge. This allows me to create my own understanding, consequently, giving me the ability to aid and support my peers in times of mathematical
Fiscal policy will be tightened gradually during the forecast period 2011-2015 as the government strives to balance its budget by 2020. Monetary policy will be tightened in the early part of the forecast period as domestic demand strengthens. The economy is expected to return to a fairly stable growth path in 2011 -2015, following a mild recession in 2009 and a strong rebound in 2010. Real GDP growth will average 5% a year in 2011 – 2015. The annual rate of inflation is expected to average 3.4% in 2011 – 2015. Government efforts to rationalize the country’s extensive subsidy schemes will exert an upward influence on prices. Despite the relatively rapid pace of growth in merchandising imports compared with that in exports, Malaysia will continue to run substantial trade and current-account surpluses in 2011 – 2015 (Unit 2011).
Hardy begins the chapter by Hardy giving his readers a brief overview of his employment and education history. I found this information helpful because it gave me a better understanding of his growing interest the philosophy of work, and what led him to write the book. Next, he addressed the question “why do we work?” and explained that the answer might seem obvious at first glance – but there are numerous underlying factors that need to be examined. Some of the factors he brought up were very intriguing to me because these are things that I, like many others, have not really thought about in much depth. There is obviously a need for work in any economy that plans to grow and flourish, so why not take a closer look into the motivational forces that drive humans to work. For example, he brings up a study done in regard to work vs. play and the intrinsic vs. extrinsic rewards gained from each. The majority of interviewed participants reported that
Continuous rapid economic growth has raised Malaysia from an agricultural and commodity-based low-income economy to a successful middle-income economy. As a mixed economy, Malaysia has elements of a free market economy nevertheless with intervention government. Malaysia's economic activity consist of a mixture of sectors whereas mixed of capitalism and socialism The strong economic performance has helped improve the quality of life for Malaysians and supported advances in education, health, infrastructure, housing and public amenities and others.
Additionally, Malaysia has traditionally relied on US foreign investments, particularly during the former state’s rapid economic mobilisation from the 1970s to the end of the 1990s. Malaysia, a former colonial state which inherited a dwindling, natural resource-dependent economy from the British, achieved unprecedented rate of growth under Mahathir’s developmental strategy. Malaysia’s economic development achieved its zenith in the 1990s, hailed by the World Bank as an `economic miracle’ in the developing world. During this course of development, the US played a pivotal role via its foreign investments. For instance, US investments in Malaysia tripled between 1990 and 2000, from US$1.5 billion to US$6 billion, of which 57% was in manufacturing, 21% in petroleum and natural resources, and 22% in services and related industries.
Malaysia is one of the fastest growing and most open economies of our decade (World Bank 2017). Its geographical location plays a large role in this. Malaysia neighbors Singapore, Thailand, and borders the Gulf of Thailand and the Malacca Straight. The east and west sides of the country are completely exposed to bodies of water and near the global trade route which enhances the country’s accessibility and facilitates development and foreign trade. Malaysia’s GDP is 296.4 billion USD (2016 WB) and is expected, by the OECD to grow at 4.2% in 2017.
My interest on international economics more emerged when I did an internship at Central Bank of Indonesia as Researcher in June 2006. During the internship, I performed monetary, financial and banking researches and prepared papers using economic and statistical tools for preparing validation and recommendations to senior management. I utilized this opportunity to enrich my modality for writing Internship Report – equalled to thesis – which it had me been awarded as the best Faculty’s internship programme in 2007. At the same time, I was also an Assistant Lecturer at my faculty for the subjects of Statistics and Monetary Economics. The subject of Statistics had developed my logical and mathematical framework toward solving economic and financial problems. In addition, teaching Monetary Economics
Therefore, Mathematics has always been, and still is, my most favourite subject and my best subject as well. During my five years of high school, I was well known as an excellent student in Mathematics. There were few occasions where I was awarded as the best student in Mathematics in my year. I also had represented my high school in Mathematics competitions in both state and national level. In my Malaysian SPM, I got A+ for both my Mathematics and Additional Mathematics. For Additional Mathematics, that was quite an achievement as my calculator suddenly went malfunctioned during the examination. In fact, I got
One of the primary things the government should do is to set cyclical fiscal deficit targets. This will help that administration stretch or shorten that monetary deficiency as stated by those state of the economy. A standout amongst the greatest steps that that legislature could take may be to determinedly push to upgrading that straightforwardness of finishing business. A standout amongst those offers of a market economy framework is that choice making is decentralized i. E. There will be no absolute form answerable for choosing the thing that is with a chance to be prepared Also in what amounts. This will be
