Mathematics is not something we rarely hear. "Why is math always everywhere?” say a lot of people out there. It's not often that we find people who don't like math. But, why is it that almost every lesson uses math? Even education from elementary school to high school still uses mathematics as one of its subjects. But before knowing the reason, let's first identify what is Mathematics?
According to the Oxford dictionary, Mathematics is Branches of mathematics which includes arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Mathematics will always be related to solving a problem regarding numbers. In addition, studying mathematics is identical to mental activity or thinkin activities whose processes are different for each person.
Mathematics is always present in every field of study because it is used as a thinking tool. Surely some of you have heard of the word Problem Solving. Well that's the benefit of the existence of mathematics. By studying mathematics we can train ourselves to solve a problem.
Of course, problem solving is a very important thing in life. Especially in the world of work, many companies are targeting workers who can do problem solving well. In addition, in the science of communication mathematics has an important role in it. Mathematics can be used as a tool to describe something and as a means of short communication.
Indeed, not all subjects in mathematics will be used, but on each side, one of the mathematics materials will be used. For example algebra will be used in programming or computer engineering majors. For a simpler example, for example, we use basic mathematical calculations when trading. So, math will help us in finding a result that we need.
Indirectly mathematics helps us to develop our mindset to be able to work optimally. By continuing to study mathematics, you will begin to create an orderly, systematic, realistic, logical and other mindset.
