Mathematics is Your Friend and Not Enemy
A lot of students and in fact a majority of grown-ups as well think of Mathematics as a very tough, challenging subject and have a negative feeling about it. If you are one of them then after reading this article you will surely experience an eye opener moment which will help you understand that how Mathematics as a subject is actually exciting and also best out of other subjects. However, majority of the students and people tend to take it otherwise and actually stays away from experiencing the magic of it. The 5 points mentioned below will bust your myths and make you look at Maths as a subject in a rather confident and aspiring way –
1. Mathematics is Better Than Other Subjects
Other subjects require a lot of studying and memorizing from students which obviously makes the whole experience a bit boring and monotonous and due to which students tend to run away and skip their study sessions as just memorizing stuff without understanding don’t give them a sense of achievement and hence they don’t feel like studying periodically and with discipline. But on the other hand Maths is arguably the only subject where you don’t need to memorise like robots. Here, you actually learn the various arithmetic operations, formulaes and rules which once acquired can be applied to solve various eligible problems. Identifying the problem correctly and solving it by using the right solution requires using our brain to good potential and we even feel a sense of achievement at the end. This will directly make you more connected to studies in general and you will tend to repeat study sessions more.
2. Don’t Go with the Negative Flow
I have noticed people actually getting negatively influenced by repeatedly hearing from others that “Oh, I don’t like Mathematics at all”, “Oh, Maths is very difficult and I will skip it”, “Oh, I don’t understand Maths at all and it is boring”. Stay away from letting these opinions of others already hack and create a picture in your mind that you also don’t like Mathematics as a subject even before actually experiencing it first hand over your study years. Many students get tricked and start thinking that hating Maths will actually make them a part of some COOL GROUP. The reality is – cracking Maths as a subject will make you feel a lot cooler than many things around. So, Yes, Don’t just go with the Negative flow or negative word of mouth.
3. Don’t Get Afraid By the Names at First
Mathematics as a whole is a subject which makes us learn on How to solve a certain problems by applying its formulaes and rules. But as your calss/grades in school/college moves up Mathematics as a subject comes in with different names as a package suitable to that grade and your learning. So, as soon as you hear names like Algebra, Geometry, etc. you should not start fearing them already instead you should stay confident that these are some new flavours in Mathematics and maybe are just named differently under Maths for our sake of good understanding and learning. So, yes, don’t fear different names until they fall under Mathematics and be confident that you will crack it easily.
4. Highest Real World Utilization
Mathematics is one subject which will surely be used by you in your life throughout no matter what you do. Various other subjects that you will study are not guaranteed to be used extensively in real world but the various concepts that Mathematics teaches you will surely make your life easy whether you do a small activity like buying some groceries or you do a big activity like maybe buying a house. Not just buying, any or everything that involves various numbers, measurements, conversions, etc. there Maths will play a huge role for you to make sound decisions in your life. Mathematics indirectly also builds your anticipation power in general as calculating to find an answer based on some data that you have around it starts becoming your strength.
5. Look At The Larger Picture In Mathematics
Always and always keep in mind that majority of you fail in understanding Maths properly because you get confused by the various alphabetical denotations used, which makes you feel how suddenly between adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying numbers we are seeing alphabets like a, b, c, x, y, etc. So, a very simple explanation here is that always remember alphabetical denotations are present to actually keep a certain scenario in front of you which has to be in assume or suppose mode or even that alphabet is a number or a situation which you actually have to solve and find, hence it is not written as actuals at that time and replaced by alphabets to increase your assumption and anticipation powers.
For Example, Consider the below in your real life –
If your cousin visits your place and your mom gives him/her 3 chocolates out of 10 which were there at your place then you easily know that now 7 are remaining behind because this practically happened in front of you. But imagine, if this scenario would not have happened in your life and you see a equation in Maths saying X+3 = 10 then you suddenly start thinking at your age that what is this X and what is it doing here with numbers, but in your chocolate interaction above you know each and very entity, numbers and answers well, but it becomes very hard for you to imagine the scenario with mathematical equation written. So, always remember, X, Y, blah – blah written in Maths are nothing but a simple entity which you actually have to find in an equation with the other available data. Try to imagine the equation as a real life scenario as something happened practically with you and it is not just assumption equations. So think accordingly and try to solve. Though the example equation X+3 = 10 here is simple but hoping that you are getting the larger point that I am trying to make of perspectives.

So, Yes Wiser Word would love to conclude by saying don’t ever do the mistake of thinking that Maths is boring and your enemy, instead always think and even guide others into knowing that Maths keep you thinking, activate your brain, make you feel knowledgeable and your decision making also becomes accurate more often than not because of this non memorizing, logical, sharp subject Mathematics.
So Mathematics Ko Apna Yaar Maths Banao! Make Maths your Friend and Not Enemy!
