Academic studies examine practical logistics and mathematical applications in Brazil

Academic studies in Brazil have explored specialized practical knowledge in logistics and industrial trades. One research paper conducted through the Centro Paula Souza examines inventory control management within a small company, highlighting how effective stock management tools are essential for maintaining competitiveness and reducing costs.

Another study from the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) investigates ethnomathematics within the industrial boilermaking sector of a sugar cane mill in Santa Rita. The research identifies how workers utilize mathematical concepts—such as perimeter calculations, unit conversions, and geometric developments—through practical, workplace-based learning and peer communication.
