EFFECTIVENESS OF MATHEMATICS IN THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM: AN ANALYSIS

Mathematics studies numbers and quantities, space, structure, patterns and mathematics involves quantitative calculation and logical reasoning to explore patterns, formulate ideas and it establishes truth through deduction. Mathematics is important in the fields namely engineering, science, medicine, and finance. Electoral System is used in politics to elect a government and it is a set of rules used to determine the outcomes of an election. Generally, the common categorizations of electoral system are single winner vs. multi winner system, proportional representation vs. winner take all systems vs. mixed systems. The aim of the present study is to analyse the effectiveness of Mathematics in the electoral system.
