Throwing back to my innocent
years, people try to ask me about my ambition, and then I always told them that
I wanted to be an engineer or a teacher with a profession of mathematics not
knowing that math subject is not all about the numbers, sometimes it is about
finding the value of letters.
Now I am a communication
student taking my first semester in college without any mathematical subjects
so far made me very confident to finish the semester as painless as I can. But
as months pass by, without any tragic mathematical equations made me realized
that my capability in simple math and effortless counting was declined that
even computing my payments and changes for public transpo made me off beam.
In that matter, I would like to
begin this with a conclusion in mind.
By the end of my college life,
I know that encountering mathematics is only just be a few scene in my
profession someday because my main exposure will be more of grammatical and
literary field unlike for those who are studying accountancy
engineering, statistics and science courses they will be much more covered by
numbers and calculators at their sides. But I also realized that even I am less
enclosed to arithmetic, learning mathematics should be continuous process and
should not be demolished by fear and apprehension.
Until now, it is still a
logical matter that if people were exposed too much in language proficiency
their mathematical competence will be blown out for a while and vice versa for
the mathematicians. These intellectual circumstances will never be debatable
especially for those who believe that they are born to be the modern Euclid or
born to be the new Shakespeare never thinking that it is quite ambitious not to
balance the two academic pillars.
Actuality correction: mathematics
is now on high and will never go down to support us in numeral problems unless
we will try on our own to reach the airborne learning.
The goal of mathematics is to
teach us the way of computing but at the same time to teach us in an analytic pattern.
Exposing ourselves to mathematics – elementary computation, intermediate
analysis and college arithmetic – will lead us to the critical way of thinking
that can help us to solve not just mathematical problems but also in
life’s problem.
Moreover, the mastery of this
central aptitude with a combination of communication talent will help us to be
prepared for an enduring battle in any stages of life that will take learners
to a higher level of judging manner. Learning mathematics will focus the
individuals’ side not to be afraid of some problems needed by more logical
reasoning and practical approach to life’s innovation due to the practices that
we tried to some in-depth mathematical problems that will serve as a
stepping stone for bigger crisis to be solved.
By uplifting this kind of
mindset to the mathematical perception, it will really help us to be more
productive in this field or in any profession without any fear or any state of
quitting due to our preparedness and peaceful outlook in solving numbers and
values of letters. Studying mathematics showcases confidence as well.
The psychological impact to the
students is unquestionable especially if it is not really their forte. Some may
quit and some may go further but continuing learning of mathematics will show
you the deeper significance of computing numbers and finding the proper value
for each letters, and in that way our lives become easier.
However, as a communication
student, we are not really putting numbers to formulas but we are placing
numbers as figures to our own reportage then letters were not needed to find
the values because alphabets have already its own essence for writers.
