language is a complex structure only used by humans. Of course animals have language too‚ but it not useful for the study of the areas of knowledge. The areas of knowledge‚ the study of mathematics‚ history‚ natural sciences‚ human sciences‚ ethics and the arts are meant. The areas of knowledge such as history‚ Mathematics‚ and ethics and whether language plays a role of equal importance in each will be discussed separately further on. To be able to discuss the importance of language‚ one must first

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This is a question I often hear about mathematics: When will I ever use this? This question has probably been asked at some time to every mathematics teacher by students of various levels. While practical examples can easily be found for elementary mathematics‚ which is taught early in the students’ careers. More advanced math principles shown during high school and college are rarely‚ if at all‚ justified by teachers‚ except in related domains‚ like physics and engineering.

I just hate the fact that some of my math teachers were too strict that cause me to hate them and their subject. But‚ now that I am older‚ however‚ I need mathematics because I also have a growing curiosity and interest for it. And it’s even part of our daily activities in life and other. Despite of‚ hating mathematics I still have to manage to learn more about mathematics and love it as well.

Understanding the impact of mathematics throughout history and in today’s society is also a crucial component of quantitative literacy. Mathematics examines the abstract concepts of mathematics without application. Calculus and geometry are two examples of mathematics since they remain abstract concepts until applied to real world problems. I expect to encounter more real-world problems in quantitative literacy versus the pure mathematics I encountered in high school. Most of the mathematics I encountered in

Is the preparation of their minds that allows them to reach this pleasure." Maria Montessori‚ London Lectures‚ 1946‚ p 41 Mathematics has always been a difficult subject for students. Many children
