5 Equations which changed the world in my everyday life with illustrations

Equations are omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. As living organisms of higher order, understanding equations can help us to understand our life better, the way it interacts for better survival. It helps us to overcome the inertia of ignorance by being proactive and helps us to pause in between that stimulus and reaction. Although there are many equations which are influencing our lives the below given ones are attempted as those famous small steps in the giant leap forward. The following are the five equations:

Equation 1: Pythagoras Theorem

Equation 2: Logarithms

Equations 3: Calculus

Equation 4: Law of Gravity

Equation 5: Second Law of Thermodynamics

Let’s dwell into their effects in our real life.

Equation 1: Pythagoras Theorem

During my morning rush hours to office lift when the visitors car park is free, I always want to take the diagonal Z route, rather than the straight X+Y route. Although by intuition and experience, I know that Z route takes me faster than the X+Y route, mathematically I wasn’t aware of the exact number of meters I save by taking Z route. This was solved by applying the Pythagoras theorem,
