Reasons Why We Need to Study Mathematics Subjects

By GeneralHowitzer

Whether we like it or not mathematics is part of our life already and no matter where we go, we will inevitably stumble upon numbers, and mathematical calculations (discounts, changes, calculations, etc.). In our pursuit in attaining education we need to overcome mathematics, from kinder to college. Subjects in mathematics like Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry (Plane and Spherical), Probability and Statistics, and Calculus (Differential and Integral), seemed difficult to overshadow for many. Moreover mathematics is thoroughly employed in science subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics and many more field of endeavors.

Mathematics is indeed a big ache for many individuals but you need to overcome it since it is vital to your future success in life.

But why we need to study mathematics and if possible master it, here are some reasons why:

Mathematics enhances your logic reasoning which is essential in studies. You will be able to understand further other allied subjects, have a full grasp of programming codes and deal with intricate and complex problems easier.
Mathematics helps you become mature, as it furthers your decision making skills. Mathematics makes you a consummate decision maker since it taught and trained you to think deeper and come up with sound and concrete solutions.
You can apply the things you learn in mathematics in real life, to gain profit, and prevent losses. Mixture, money, and simple interest problems for instance can aid you with your business undertakings. And if you are an accountant or at least a graduate of this course, you are a capable of running a business.
You need to master mathematics if you want to bolster your chance of passing examinations (board licensure examinations and the likes). If you want to be an engineer or accountant you must have a solid background in mathematics to pull through.
For obvious reason, mathematics is part of the program of school’s curriculum if you want to have a diploma; you need to at least earn a passing grade and if you can carve out a high grade then that is better.
If you are good in mathematics it is mostly likely that you are capable of excelling in other fields of expertise. Mathematics provides you a higher form of learning that will improve your critical thinking skills understanding which are vital in learning and acquiring necessary skills.
Mathematics develops positive values like perseverance, resilience, persistence, and patience.
Once you acquired the knowledge you need and eventually utilized these as wisdom, the things you learned in mathematics will never forsake you it will be stored in your brain for a lifetime. In turn, you can help out younger people including your kids with their assignments as years goes by and provide them tutorials as well.
It provides you satisfaction and joy. The feeling you will have in getting the correct answers (especially the difficult ones will give you delight in your heart, which is priceless).
You need mathematics when you are already employed or tending to your business.

Now you have an idea why you need to perform well in mathematics since it is so important in one’s existence. There’s no doubt that mathematics may play a crucial role in attaining success.

Some Useful Math Quotations That May Inspire You With Your Math Undertakings

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is. ~John Louis von Neumann

Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky - or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time. ~Carl Sandburg

Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ~Albert Einstein

Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by the nose. ~Albert Einstein

Black holes result from God dividing the universe by zero. ~Author Unknown

Mathematics - the unshaken Foundation of Sciences, and the plentiful Fountain of Advantage to human affairs. ~Isaac Barrow

Another short-sighted and microcosmic defense of the tragedy that is the forced study of mathematics in our educational system...I don't even know why I bother refuting these things at this point, but here goes:

1)"Mathematics is a part of our daily lives" No---arithmetic is a part of our lives, not mathematics. Most of the "real world" examples that arguments like this provide require a ninth-grade equivalency at most. This "universal" argument only applies to the most basic math.

2)"Math teaches logical reasoning". I hear this argument from my Geometry teacher all the time, and must exercise considerable self-discipline in not raising my hand and showing the rest of my class how intellectually bankrupt this argument is. Geometry (I believe the kind we're studying is called "Euclidean", but I'm not sure) does not in fact teach logical reasoning, and neither does any other form of mathematics. This stems from the fact that when broken down, all terms in Geometry lead to words like "line", "point" and "distance" which are circular---and therefore must be ASSUMED. In other words, you have to ASSUME that "square" ABCD is a square because you have to assume that its "sides" are "lines". The same is true, I'm sure, of all mathematics; ultimately it breaks down into assumptions.

3)"Mathematics is important in education and many jobs". The education part of this is circular---isn't the question you're trying to answer WHY it's important in education? As for the jobs argument, I agree; the careers that require mathematics are innumerable. However, the list of careers that don't is equally long. It should be obvious that writers, politicians, and historians---but a few examples---never use or need advanced mathematics.

It is important that a student keep up in mathematics. In some subjects, if you have difficulty with one chapter, you get a fresh start with the next one. However, in mathematics, learning is cumulative. Concepts build on one another, and if you fail to learn one concept, you will not understand material that builds on it.

YEs, I think this hub is very useful. I find that sometimes the mathematics teachers who should provide their students with more attractive methods in teaching this lesson.

Good hub, it all adds up. Don't forget that, all subjects, you can learn by heart but only math asks to show your workings. Most other subjects, like language, geography and history, are past or present. Science, with maths, is proressive. We still do not know all the questions, let alone the answers. I think you may enjoy some of my hubs. I'll be looking out for yours, thanks.
