Did you know it's Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month?

Mathematical concepts and tools, such as calculus, algebra, and statistics, allow engineers to make precise calculations and measurements, reducing the risk of errors in design and analysis.

April is Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month. Since it began as Mathematics Awareness Week back in 1986, the aim has been to increase the level of interest in the study of mathematics and also increase the level of public understanding and appreciation for the wide range of applications for mathematics in fields as diverse as manufacturing, business and medicine.

Being a small Engineering & Manufacturing company over R & B Industrial Ltd we use maths a lot, a real lot in fact!

So why is maths so important to us in our engineering company?

Mathematics plays a crucial role in which our engineers build and apply their skills to solve real-time problems. Here are just some key ways in which mathematics is indispensable to our knowledgeable staff and engineers at R & B Industrial:

• Problem Solving: Our skilled engineers often encounter complex problems that require logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Mathematics provides the foundation for developing these skills and enables our engineers to break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable components. The project we undertook recently at a local manufacturing company, was to provide solutions for a control of dust and fume in their brand new facility in Andover, Hampshire. https://www.rbindustrial.co.uk/latest-projects/bespoke-dust-and-fume-extraction-system-in-a-manufacturing-company/
• Modeling and Analysis: Our engineers use mathematical models to represent real-working systems, whether they are designing new dust & fume extraction systems, optimising existing processes, or interpreting data and statistics from the yearly LEV testing and servicing reports. https://www.rbindustrial.co.uk/?s=lev
• Precision and Accuracy: Engineering demands a high level of precision and accuracy. Mathematical concepts and tools, such as calculus, algebra, and an understanding of chemical formulas allow our DSEAR engineers to make precise calculations and measurements, which will aim to reduce the risk of errors in explosive atmospheres. https://www.rbindustrial.co.uk/?s=DSEAR

• Optimisation: Our engineers often need to optimise systems and processes to achieve specific goals, such as minimising costs, maximising efficiency, or optimising performance. Mathematical optimisation techniques help our engineers find the best solutions for your business using many possible alternatives. https://www.rbindustrial.co.uk/latest-projects/eco-sustainable-dorset/
• Design and Innovation: Mathematical principles underpin the design of various engineering systems and technologies. Whether designing a bridge, an aircraft, or a computer chip, engineers rely on mathematical principles to ensure that their designs are functional, safe, and efficient. https://www.rbindustrial.co.uk/latest-projects/bespoke-products/
• Electrical and Electronics Engineering: our electrical engineers rely heavily on mathematical concepts, such as complex numbers and differential equations, to design circuits, analyse signals, and develop complex bespoke electronic systems. https://www.rbindustrial.co.uk/dust-extraction-industrial-ventilation-filtration/control-and-automation/
• ?Innovation and Research: Our engineers are involved in research and development, and often need advanced mathematical tools and techniques to push the boundaries of new technology and innovation. This was certainly the case when as a company we were excited to announce that out unique patented SmartAIR+ System was awarded UK Government funding as part of Phase 4 of the Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator (IEEA).

The programme is funded through the Net Zero innovation Portfolio (NZIP), a ￡1 billion fund looking to accelerate the commercialisation of low-carbon technologies, systems and business models in power, buildings, and industry. Aiming to create a greener, cleaner planet for all!

Impact on our engineering company if mathematics were not involved!

I think you will all agree, from some of the samples provided above, that mathematics is absolutely crucial, and vital to the every day running of our long standing Hampshire based engineering company!

Without maths, engineering at R & B Industrial would not be possible, and the consequences for the field of workplace safety, innovation, design & research, our customers and our very talented engineers would be hugely significant!
