Why study mathematics?


Why study mathematics? Well that's not an easy question to answer either. But as a student of life, I see mathematics everywhere. From the geometric shapes in my drawing and the art I enjoy; from the structural design of the buildings around the city; to the binary code that my computer uses to produce the images on my screen; to the movement of the stars and other heavenly bodies in the night sky.

Whether you plan on studying; Physics; Chemistry; English; or playing the guitar, the ideology is one in the same; in order to be efficient in either field of study, one must appreciate the discipline and practice the skills required.

Math education and Mathematics is undergoing an explosion in new ideas and techniques, as well as in the understanding of basic mathematical structures. The discipline is also central to areas of post-secondary education from economics to engineering and is an essential building block for every student's educational future.
