I believe that studying any subject without being interested in does not work well.

The great results come from the great enthusiasm.

Many students study Math only since it is a mandatory subject in school and often question me 
“WHY DO I NEED IT ???!!?!!?"

Now, I want to answer as comprehensively as possible.

  Also I want to help students to create a different attitude and to find more interest in this boring at the first sight subject.

  First of all, there are economical and practical reasons. It is well known fact that High school graduates with advanced Math qualification  have higher test scores, they attain a higher education and they earn a higher income than others. *

  Also students need to finish a school, to get accepted into University, to work in science, financial , IT fields, to know how this world is structured in some parts.

  This everything is true and practical.

  But I would like to talk about some more deep and hidden aspects of Mathematics and its affect on a personality .

  I believe that Mathematics develops not only the logical thinking but also and THE MOST important it trains your mind and soul to make you able:

--  to concentrate deep and stay focused during a long period of time
    Proof:  otherwise you can not solve hard mathematical problem

--  to face the truth
    Proof :  in mathematics you cannot simply lay to yourself  “ I solved this question correctly !! ” when actually you did not

--  to be less materialistic
   Proof:  otherwise you can not understand ABSTRACT mathematical concepts and ideas

-- to see hidden patterns if they exist 
  Proof: this is what Mathemetics  is about

NOW :  Do you agree that these abilities are the keys to success in ANY occupation and even in having happy and healthy life ?????? If you don’t e-mail me :  [email protected]  

  Here is a quotation from the article on sociological research by Juanna Schrøter Joensen and Helena Skyt Nielsen,  University of Aarhus **

“…the Math premium indicates that more valuable skills are acquired during Math courses than during other coursework. Skills like clarity in expressions, logical reasoning and inference are acquired and added to the stock of human capital and subsequently make the advanced Math students more productive."

  These hidden things, by my firm belief, are the keys to the lifestyle, true nature, right choices, development… of every person in the world.
