Importance of Mathematics
It is said that Mathematics is the gate and key of the science.
According to famous Philosopher Kant, “A Science is exact only in so far as it employs Mathematics.”
So, all scientific education which doesn’t commence with mathematics is said to be defective at its foundation.
Neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge.
One who is ignorant of mathematics cannot know other things of worlds.
A natural Science is a science in so far as it is mathematical and mathematics has played a very important role in building up modern civilization by perfecting all sciences.
Why mathematics is important?
In this modern age of science and Technology, emphasis is given on Science such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine and Engineering.
Mathematics, which is a Science by any criterion also is and efficient and necessary tool being employed by all sciences.
As a matter of fact, all the sciences progress only with the aid of Mathematics, so it is aptly remarked “Mathematics is a Science of all Sciences and art of all arts”.
What is mathematics?
Mathematics is a creation of human mind concerned chiefly with ideas, processes and reasoning.
It is much more than Trigonometry, Statistics and Calculus.
Mathematics includes all of them.
Primarily mathematics is a way of thinking, a way of organizing a logical proof.
Importance of Mathematics is shown in our day-to-day lives.
How Does Mathematics help?
As a way reasoning, it gives an insight into the power of human mind.
So this forms a very valuable discipline of teaching, learning programs of school subjects everywhere in the world of curious children.
So the pedagogy of mathematics should very carefully be built in different levels of school education.
In the pedagogical study of mathematics we mainly concern ourselves with two things:
- The manner in which the subject matter is arranged.
- The method the way in which it is presented to the pupils or the mode of presentation.
Conclusion
Importance of Mathematics is intimately connected with everyday life and necessary to successful conduct of affairs.
It is and instrument of education found to be in conformity with the need of human mind.
Teaching of mathematics has its aims and objective to be incorporated in the school curriculum.
Of and when Mathematics is removed, the back-bone of our material civilization would collapse.
