IMPORTANCE OF MATHEMATICS

Mathematics for Its Own Sake

        Mathematics provides a powerful universal language and intellectual tool kit for abstraction, generalization and synthesis. It is the language of science and technology. It enables us to probe the natural universe and to develop new technologies that have helped us to control and master our environment, and change societal expectations and standards of living. Mathematics skills are highly valued and sought after. Mathematical training disciplines the mind, develops logical and critical reasoning and also develops analytical and problem solving skills to a higher degree.

Mathematics for the Knowledge Economy

        Mathematics is of central importance to modern society. It provides the vital underpinning of the knowledge economy. It is essential in the physical science technology, business, financial services and many of the social sciences. Mathematics forms the basis of the most scientific and industrial research and development. Increasingly, many complex systems and structures in the modern world can only be understood using mathematics and much of the design and control of high technology systems depends on mathematical inputs and outputs.

Mathematics for Science, Technology and Engineering

        Mathematics ensures an adequate supply of people with science, technology, engineering and mathematical skills into the economy. Mathematics forms the basis/background for other sciences including technology and engineering. Roberts (2003) in his report stated that skills shortages in area requiring high levels of mathematical knowledge are resulting from the disparity between the growing demands for such skills and declining numbers of graduates in the relevant disciplines.
