The Importance of Mathematics in Daily
Life
Mathematics
is a fundamental part of human thought and logic, and integral to attempts at
understanding the world and ourselves. Mathematics provides an effective way of
building mental discipline and encourages logical reasoning and mental rigor.
In addition, mathematical knowledge plays a crucial role in understanding the
contents of other school subjects such as science, social studies, and even
music and art.
Though many students sit in math class wondering when they’ll ever
use these things they’re learning, we know there are many times their math
skills will be needed in adulthood.
The
Importance of Mathematics:
1. Mathematics is the pillar of organized
life for the present day.
Without
numbers and mathematical evidence, we cannot resolve any issues in our daily
lives. There are times, measurements, rates, wages, tenders, discounts, claims,
supplies, jobs, stocks, contracts, taxes, money exchange, consumption, etc.,
and in the absence of these sports data, we have to face confusion and chaos.
2. In scientific studies
The
conduct of studies and scientific research requires many skills in sports,
which help in the development of studies and progress, for example, the study
of physics or chemistry depends heavily on mathematics, including mathematical
skills and mathematical matters, and lies the role of mathematics in the
accuracy of conducting social research through the statistics branch.
3. In development of social values
It helps
mathematics in the development and refinement of personality, through
organization and accuracy, research and investigation and study, and helps to
detect.
A
great mathematician, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi who created the theory of
algebra and laws of arithmetic that helped develop modern science and
technology.
4. Math promotes healthy brain function
“Use
it or lose it.” We hear this said about many skills, and math is no exception.
Solving
math problems and improving our math skills gives our brain a good workout. And
it improves our cognitive skills over time. Many studies have shown that routinely
practicing math keeps our brain healthy and functioning well.
5. Math improves problem-solving skills
At
first, classic math problems like Johnny bringing home 42 watermelons and
returning 13 of them can just seem a silly exercise. But all those math word
problems our children solve really do improve their problem solving
skills. Word
problems teach kids how to pull out the important information and then
manipulate it to find a solution.
6. In cultural development
Like
other sciences, mathematics influences civilization's development.
Cultural
development depends on the achievements of scientists and innovators,
especially athletes. No one neglects the role of Arab and Muslim scientists in
the development of civilizations.
