Mathematics is a part of our daily life. Tell me the subjects that requires no mathematics and I will tell you a thinker that knows no numerals. Tell me a daily activity that requires no calculations and I will show you someone who cannot think.
Mathematics is commonly referred to as the science of numbers. Great thinkers are said to be great mathematician; Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Galileo, Michael Faraday and our World will be unexplored.
The subject mathematics is the brain behind every technological advancement known today. A widely accepted discipline even by layman:
Chibuzor the Okrika Seller
Mallam Bako the Onion Vendor
Iya Tawa the pepper hawker name it.
Now to every Dick, Tom, and Harry who have a foundational challenge with mathematics or to whom the subjects proves somehow difficult, it is high time we rise above the omen called Mathematics Phobia.
However, here is a very vital hint on how to overcome the so called Phobia behind mathematics. Try always to debug your mind of the alleged Fear that so easily grips the heart when the Subject Mathematics is mentioned. Fear has two meaning:
- Forget Everything And Run
Or
- Face Everything And Rise
There and then, one is set to rise above all limitations or challenges of the mindset. Remember the choice is yours!
Instead of cumbering our minds unnecessarily, we should always be positive in our thinking towards Mathematics which forms the basis for which we could ride on the ladder of success in order to make our dreams come true.
On this note, I will like to leave you with the Phrases; Mathematics! How I So much love to know you. Come and make my heart your abode. I desire to know you more I desire to practice you more and you can be sure that things will start falling in pleasant places.
