Math is the language of science and nature

Many students may be unaware of innumerable practical applications of math and hence may wonder if the concepts and formulas they were taught in the class have anything to do in real-life. Some feel having the knowledge of basic concepts only is good enough. Students with such attitude are required to broaden their view and understand the composite concepts of mathematics as well. The concepts should not be seen as just remembering some formulas; their practical applications should be explored.

Mathematics is considered as the language of science and is applicable in many ways ranging from basics like counting, managing personal finance, etc., to major complex applications like finding the growth rate of bacteria, population change, prices and inflation change, etc. It teaches the way to think and apply common sense enhancing the logical thinking abilities and decision-making skills.

The abstractness of some concepts like algebra puts brain at work enabling individuals to think laterally which in turn will enhance their abilities to solve other tasks/problems too. A better brain is believed to be built by learning math concepts and solving problems.

While solving a problem, your brain is stimulated to think which will enable its dendrites to grow extensively to connect with other brain cells. The more the problems you solve, more are the analytical skills acquired.

Maths is also considered as the language of nature. It can be observed in the form of Fibonacci pattern in milky-way galaxy, cyclones & hurricanes, plant/tree branches, finger bones, sun flower, pineapple, nautilus shell, etc.

Some students consider math as hard and scary and feel uneasy while solving problems. In such cases parents and teachers are required to play a greater role in encouraging students to overcome math phobia and make the subject exciting and enjoyable for them.
