“Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.”
Richard Courant
Math needs regular practice, one of the best ways to understand math is by relating daily maths’ problems with the real world, and how it makes sense.
Some numbers in mathematics are essential to show the fundamental relationship between the growth rate in any field. The Pythagorean Theorem is also about the distance between any set of numbers, the relationship between shapes, and much more.
Mathematics improves critical thinking skills, or you can say math itself is a name of critical thinking.
Your creative ideas can make mathematics very easy, use your mind and turn those formulas into jokes, or draw diagrams to remember them. I still remember how I used to learn the theorems by converting them into humorous stories.
Mostly, people give in mathematics, so easily, but when you feel like to give up, it is actually the right time to be creative. Don’t stop until it makes sense. Try your best and attempt, even if your answers aren’t correct but still “trying” is your job!
“Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit. Find your self-respect now.”
