Use of technology, financial planning and mathematics


 
Sadia Sultana Rimi
 
The present world is called the era of technology. From communication, education, medicine, entertainment to economy, technology has touched every field. Economic or financial planning is an area where accurate calculations and accurate forecasts are very important. This plan is equally important for personal life, business or national economy. And the combination of mathematics and technology is essential to make this financial plan effective and practical.
 
 
Mathematics has always been a fundamental tool in financial management. Income and expenses, budgeting, savings, investments, loans—everything has its applications.
Compound Interest and Future Valuation: In banking or investing, the compound interest formula is used to determine how money will grow over time.
Budgeting: Basic math like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are essential to creating a monthly or annual budget.
Risk and Probability Analysis: Probability formulas and statistics are used to measure the risk and potential profit in an investment.
Profit and Loss Accounting: Algebraic and mathematical models are applied to compare costs, revenues, and profits before making business decisions.
 
In the past, financial planning was done on paper; it was time-consuming and prone to errors. But digital technology has changed the entire process.
Spreadsheet and finance software: Using Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or other specialized finance apps, you can now easily create budgets, calculate interest, and analyze expenses.
Data Analytics: Computer-based statistical methods are used to analyze large amounts of financial data (big data).
Algorithmic Trading: In the stock market, buying and selling decisions are made automatically through algorithms or mathematical formulas, which are faster and more accurate than humans.
Mobile Finance and Digital Banking: It is now possible to send money, pay bills, save or invest right from your mobile phone. These apps perform complex mathematical calculations on the backend.
 
Technology basically provides fast results by computerizing mathematical algorithms, formulas, and models. Finance apps automatically calculate the compound interest formula to find the future value of an investment or EMI (installment). Statistical models can be used in risk analysis to provide possible results in a few seconds. In budget planning, artificial intelligence (AI) can estimate future expenses by looking at past spending trends.
 
In personal life, it is important to make the right decisions regarding salary, savings, loans, education expenses, buying a house, etc. The combined application of mathematics and technology plays an important role here.
Budget App: The app helps you track monthly expenses and income.
Loan Calculator: How many installments will have to be paid in the future, how much total interest will be - all this information can be found using an online calculator.
Savings Plan: The app tells you in advance how much money will be saved over a specific period of time.
 
The combination of technology and mathematics is essential not only at the personal level, but also in business or the national economy.
Budgeting: Statistical models are used to estimate government budget revenue and expenditure, deficit, development expenditure, etc.
Investment Analysis: Mathematical software is used to calculate the potential profit and loss before investing in large projects.
Risk Management: Mathematical models help reduce risk in the foreign exchange market, stock market, or international trade.
 
In the coming days, the use of mathematics will be deeper with artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain and quantum computing. The trend of automated decision-making will increase in every sector of the economy, where mathematics will be the foundation of technology. For example, in the banking sector, mathematics-based algorithms and AI will work together to determine customer credit scores or detect fraud.
Financial planning with technology and mathematics at its side is effective, risk-free and future-oriented. This combination plays a major role in economic stability and development at all levels, whether personal, business or national. In the current era, financial planning cannot be imagined without technology and mathematics. Therefore, it is the demand of the hour to develop the future generation to be skilled in the use of mathematics and technology along with financial education.
