As a proponent of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), I speak to a lot of people about the importance of these disciplines. Unfortunately, mathematics is by far the number one subject area most of these people do not like. To like mathematics, there must be an understanding of it; there must be a considerable amount of time spent with it. Mathematics is a very important and powerful subject.  All scientific and technological developments are dependent on its vital role. When it comes to logical reasoning, enhancing mental ability, and problem solving skill, mathematics is at the core of them all. The world could have been very different as we know it without mathematics. It is imperative to have mathematics and other STEM related fields to build, and sustain a better world. Mathematics brings to life the modern world in a very humble way.

To understand all physical phenomena, mysteries, and the existence of humanity, mathematics is the gate of entry.  It is the universal language of civilization. There is no doubt that mathematics expresses itself through its symbols and in an exact form. As there is a push to stimulate interest, it has to be of great interest to students, scholars and the general public at large. For sure, the mathematical language is appealing to all ages.

After all, do you want to make an impact, change the world? Do you want to improve people lives? The time has come; prepare, challenge yourself, develop a profound curiosity for STEM. After all, have fun; that is the fuel of your creative thoughts that will change the world. Last, have a great attitude toward profound communication that will help you articulate your vision no one else might see.
