Mathematics surrounds our everyday lives, whether we are budgeting our expenses, or solving a complex differential equation. We are dealing with the universal language of numbers. In today’s society we are growing rapidly and becoming dependent towards technology, and therefore in a way dependent on math. Without mathematics, we wouldn’t be able to have created algorithms for the internet. Surgeons are using computer-controlled robots to assist with better accuracy, flexibility, and control during surgery. Therefore our medicine has vastly improved because of mathematics. Math is within our architecture, our medicine, our towns with urban planning, our athletic training, our online banking, our crypto currencies, and the list can go on. Whether we notice it or not math is within our lives and we are better because of it.
As mathematics majors, we have developed and enhanced ourselves to be able to communicate effectively the language of math. Throughout our exercises of constant repetition and application in order to find a solution to real world problems. However, we not only just find the solution but have clear and traceable steps to how we got to the solution. This is the key in our conceptual understanding of mathematics. We explain, share, and allow others to enter our process of critical thinking.
Mathematicians have obtained experience in independent and grouping problem solving methods. This allows mathematicians to contribute ideas into a growing team. We are easily adaptable to any situation that is given to us. We install great effort and creativity to ensure a solution is found. By studying math, you expand and cultivate analytical skills and attitude. This allows us to have the ability to collect, gather, and visualize information. We can see a problem through a different lens and establish a flexibility when trying to make decisions and solve in the most effective way.
