Introduction
In realizing the nation s very vision, the 2020 Vision, it is very demanding for Malaysia to develop the economy and technology as well as improving the competency of public infrastructure to fulfill the needs of citizens of developing country. It is no do ubt that this costs lots of energy. Malaysia, a newly developed country, also one of the members of G15 countries is fortunate to possess vast reserve of energy, thanks to the vast oil reserve in Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak. The works in petroleum industry always roughly is viewed to be some kind of very tough tasks, done in very high risks. Despite the everyday physical constraints faced by workers in this field, there are more problems to be considered. These include finding the fastest way to get to the source of fuel, determining the depth of oil reservoir, and calculating the amount of energy generated by the fuel found. One would not have it in mind that these jobs have a lot to do with Mathematics, which involves the usage of differential and integral calculus, geometry and trigonometry. In this project work, we will reveal the importance of mathematics in committing these tasks, starting from the boat s departure to the oil rigs to the usage of calculus in finishing the operations at the oil rig. In Part V, we will observe the oil production in major producers of petroleum worldwide. This section will also reveal the significance of petroleum usage as one of the most important source of energy. Lastly, in Further Exploration, we shall learn something about career opportunity in petroleum industry and how a strong base in Additional Mathematics would help.

Part II
Speed of any moving devices, preferably motorized vehicles can roughly be determined by taking the reading of speedometer. In reality, the reading shown is actuall y based on the engine thrust, not how much the vehicle had travelled per unit time. The speed shown could be the actual speed of the vehicle only if no unbalanced force acting on it. In this part, the boat is about to depart from the starting point to wind farm. After two hours, the boat will continue its course to the oil rig. For the first part of the boat s motion, the speed of the boat travelling from (0 , 0) to (8, 6) appears to be resultant velocity as a result of combination of the speed of wind of 15 Let the resultant velocity =

P rt V
Petroleum Worldwide Pe e in present is a very significant s rce of energy Apart from Malaysia, other there are vast spread of this fossil fuel all over the globe Despite the fact that Native Americans were the first to discover the significances of petroleum, the reserve of oil is mainly spread at the countries of Middle East. For this part, we will concentrate more on the oil reserves of the United States of America, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

United States Petroleum Petroleum in the United States has been a major industry since shortly after the o il discovery at Oil Cree , Pennsylvania in 1859. As of 2008, the US was the world's third -largest oil producer (after Saudi Arabia and Russia), producing 8.5 million barrels of oil and natural gas liquids per day.[1] The leading oil-producing area in the US in 2008 was the federal zone of the Gulf of Me ico, which produced 1.15 million barrels per day, followed by Te as (1.09 million barrels per day), Alas a (0.68 million barrels per day) and California (0.59 million barrels per day). In 2008, petroleum was the largest source of energy in the US, providing 38% of the energy consumed (an additional 24% was from natural gas). In 2008 the US consumed 19.5 million barrels per day of petroleum products, of which 46% was gasoline, 20% diesel fuel and heating oil, and 10% liquified petroleum gas. The US imports 57% of the petroleum it uses. The largest sources of US imported oil are (in descending order): Canada, Saudi Arabia, Me ico, and Venezuela. More than 1.8 million people work in the US petroleum industry, whi h includes the c production, processing, transportation, and marketing of natural gas and petroleum products. Production

The petroleum industry in Russia is one of the largest in the world. Russia has the largest reserves, and is the largest exporter, of natural gas. It has the second largest coal reserves, the eighth largest oil reserves, and is the largest exporter of oil. It is the third largest energy user. Russia is the largest oil producer in the world, producing an average of 9.93 million barrels of oil per day in 2009 for a total of 494.2 million tons. It produces 12 of the world's oil and has a same share in global oil exports. In June 2006, Russian crude oil and condensate production reached to the post -Soviet maximum of 9.7 million barrels per day (b/d). Exceeding production in 2000 by 3.2 million b/d. Russian export consists more than 5 million b/d of oil and nearly 2 million b/d of refined products, which go mainly to th e Europe market. The domestic demand in 2005 was 2.6 million b/d in averaged. It is also the main transit country for oil from Kazakhstan. The Russian oil industry is in need of huge investment. Strong growth in the Russian economy means that local demand for energy of all types (oil, gas, nuclear, coal, hydro, electricity) is continuing to grow.

Saudi Arabia Petroleum Energy in Saudi Arabia describes energy and electricity production, consumption and export in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is one of the world's largest energy producers, pumping approximately 10.782 million barrels per day(1.714210 6 m3/d) of petroleum. While most of this is exported, domestic use is rapidly increasing, primarily for electricity production. Saudi Arabia's economy is petroleum-based; roughly 75 of government revenues and 90 of export earnings come from the oil industry. The oil industry produces about 45 of Saudi Arabia's gross domestic product, against 40 from the private sector. Saudi Arabia has per capita GDP of $20,700. The economy is still very dependent on oil in spite of a diversification effort, in particular in the petrochemical sector, with Sabic. Produ tion Saudi Arabia produces slightly over 11,000,000 barrels (1,700,000 m 3) of oil per day, exporting 8,900,000 barrels per d ay (1,415,000 m 3/d). The government is investing over $71 Billion to increase oil production to near 12,000,000 barrels per day (1,900,000 m 3/d) by 2009 and up to 12,500,000 barrels per day (1,990,000 m 3/d) by 2015. [2] This may be attributed to the report that 700,000 barrels (111,000 m 3) of excess capacity are needed to compensate for a natural decline in availability.

Further Exploration
There are careers in Petroleum s Industry that need a strong base in Additional Mathematics. To explore about this, we have interviewed an in dividual who has been involved in this industry for 23 years starting from 1988 till now. He who work ed as an Offshore Installation Manager namely Mansor Shah bin Hassan is now a very hardship and knowledgeable 44 years old man. From the interview, Mr. Mansor states that mathematics plays a very big role in every work of his. This include o f usage of calculus in determining the amount of energy contain in a source of fuel. Apart from that, he also mentioned other Additional Mathematics related career in petroleum industry such as petroleum engineer. The main work of this kind o f engineer is to find the correct proportion of the petroleum content using differential calculus concept. The engineer must also master the mathematical programming as almost of the operation at the industry are conducted by the software in the computer. From all this, we know that additional mathematics is needed in the petroleum industry. So, the understanding in this subject is very important to those who want to involve in this industry.

Conclusion
Petroleum, acting as a main source of energy in Malaysia, is a very significant remark of Malaysia s richness of resources of land. We have depended on petroleum since more than 20 years. As a result of untiring works of Malaysia s conglomerate, PETRONAS, our nation has been recognized as one of the top 30 oil producers. The works that contributed a remarkable achievement that makes Malaysians proud actually began from the very tough works, weather in managemen t or in tough labor operations. Neglecting the sweat of workers resulted from committing these rough tasks, one should also realize that these tasks are not only be done by physical means. Thanks to the development of scientific studies, the efficiency of energy usage has increase dramatically. Not to forget the contribution of knowledge in Mathematics, especially Additional Mathematics, one could save much time of travelling from a venue to another by the application of geometry and algebra. For engineering, calculus, which includes the knowledge of differentiation and integration have contributed a lot in live operation at the oil tank and rigs. To cope with the challenges in future, the nation demands a significant number of professionals in this field. In order to fulfill the need, students sh ould involve themselves in sciences, preferably Mathematics. This is because Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences, like the saying goes Mathematics is the queen of sciences . The realization of this need will not only benefit the students nor the schools, but it will also means big to the nation, thus making Malaysia as a new, highly -developed country in the means of scientific values.
