mathematics

The word mathematics comes from Ancient Greek μάθημα (máthēma), meaning “that which is learnt”, “what one gets to know”, hence also “study” and “science.”Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss labeled the Princeps mathematicorum (the foremost of mathematicians), and perhaps the greatest mathematician since antiquity, called mathematics the “queen of the sciences” because it was successful at uncovering the nature of physical reality. Mathematics lays the foundation for a better understanding of everyday life as it develops one’s problem-solving skills, one’s analytical skills, and one’s reasoning and logic skills. Mathematics spans the fields of accounting, architecture, artificial intelligence, computing, economics, engineering, finance, music, science, sports, technology, and many other work functions. Hence, Mathematics is a crucial skill for you – the future generations of employees, entrepreneurs, and scholars.
