Mathematics is an important tool for scientifically analyzing aspects of our daily lives

I used math to investigate human population growth and how it affects our resources

Mathematical models can visualize current trends and project future ones

These models can quantify various behaviors in our world

The results of these models can indicate what might happen in the future

I was able to project future population growth using my model's fit to real data...

...for these and many other countries

Developing countries

Baby boomers

Social Security

Demographic transition

Fertility

Mortality

India

Baby boomers are on the road to retirement...

I constructed a model that could show behavior in different age groups within a population...

...and estimated how the changing age distribution within the U.S. will affect the future of Social Security and also the job market

I made hypothetical scenarios to illustrate various circumstances

And I hypothesized possible solutions to funding a larger retired group at present funding, sustainably

What will happen if our lifespan increases?

What will happen if the retirement age increases?

Bring back American jobs!

Job market

United States

Sustainability

I used these predictions to estimate future oil consumption rates...

Models

...and made hypothetical scenarios about the major consumers' patterns...

(Especially focusing on China, India, and the U.S.)

Beware, if all 3 countries increase usage...

It will take a lot for the U.S. to significantly cut back on oil use...

...and made a hypothetical scenario based on other's predictions

China and India are likely to increase oil consumption...

...what will the U.S. do?

China

Resources

Life expectancy

Developed countries
