Studying Math is More Crucial Now!

Studying math has always been important, but in today’s world. I believe learning mathematics is both crucial to the learning and development of 21st century students. The skills gained while learning math are able to be translated to many facets of life after a student’s education. Learning mathematics develops problem solving skills which combine logic and reasoning in students as they grow. Learning mathematics isn’t about taking derivatives or solving for x, it’s about having the skills to do so and putting them to use elsewhere in life. A student who excels at calculus may never use it again, but with the skills of creativity and rational thinking presented by this course, learning mathematics will have had a profound effect on their life.


Problem-Solving Skills: Math enhances critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only applicable in academic settings but are also highly valued in the workplace and everyday life.

STEM Education: There is a growing emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Math is the foundation of STEM fields, which are crucial for addressing complex global challenges such as climate change, healthcare, and cybersecurity.

Everyday Applications: From managing personal finances to understanding health statistics, math is a part of everyday life. It helps individuals make better decisions and navigate the world more effectively.

Interdisciplinary Relevance: Math is not confined to traditional math courses. It is used in various disciplines such as physics, economics, psychology, and social sciences. Understanding math enhances comprehension in these areas.

Technological Advancements: As technology rapidly evolves, a strong foundation in mathematics is essential for understanding and driving innovation. Fields like data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning rely heavily on advanced mathematical concepts.

“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” – Katherine Johnson
