"What did 2n+1 say to 2n?"
"I literally can't even." 🤣
"What do the Backstreet Boys
and algebra teachers have in common?"
"They both want you to tell them Y." 😂
When I tell somebody I have a Mathematics degree, there is one predominant
reaction I get: “Woah 😮, I hate Math.” There is an underlying
point which stands out: Mathematics isn't everybody's cup of tea. But
that's ok! While some get an adrenaline rush by spending hours tackling a
problem, the very same problem can make others to want to pull their hair
out! Thankfully, I am of the former category, which is why I chose to
pursue a Mathematics degree. Here are 5 reasons why I love Math:
Numbers help us understand the world and Math helps us understand
numbers 🧬🩺💉🔬🔭📱📡💻.
The real-life applications of Mathematics are endless. We are surrounded
by numbers, equations and algorithms – especially in this age of data
science, with huge data sets that can only be understood through
statistical models and analysis. Maths gives us the ability to view the
world in a way nothing else can!
Math is black and white, there’s no room for ambiguity ⬛⬜.
Unlike many other subject areas, Math is not subjective. Every question
has a clear answer and when you solve it, you can either be right or
wrong. There’s no grey area. I personally enjoy this objective approach
and the certainty that comes with it.
Old concepts are as relevant as new concepts 👩🏾⚕️🧱.
There is a sort of hierarchy with Mathematical concepts. As you can see
how everything clicks into place, it makes learning more interesting and
engaging.
Nothing can be proven without evidence 🧐📈.
There is no place for speculation. Whenever you try to prove something
in math, you need evidence. I personally believe that this is something
which should be applied in other aspects of life as well.
It presents a good mind-bending challenge 🤯.
Every math problem is a new, fresh and unique challenge. The adrenaline
rush you get when you finally solve a problem, which initially seemed
impossible, is unparalleled. Math constantly keeps you on your toes and
never gets monotonous. Each new day learning in this wonderful subject
area is unexpected and something you can look forward to 😄.
