When most people hear the word “maths” they immediately think of numbers, equations, and maybe even exams. But in truth, mathematics is one of the most important things in our lives even if we don’t always realise it.

From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, maths is silently working behind the scenes. We use it to check the time, count money, cook food, measure distances, plan our day, and even scroll through apps that rely on algorithms  all based on maths.

Mathematics is not just a subject in school. It’s the foundation of many parts of life. In science, formulas and calculations drive discoveries. In technology, coding, apps, and the internet are built using mathematical logic. In business, profits, losses, percentages, and data are all about numbers. In nature, patterns in flowers, animal behaviour, and even weather follow mathematical rules.

Even art, music, and architecture use maths to create symmetry, rhythm, and design.

Learning maths also trains our brain. It improves our thinking skills, problem solving ability, and logical reasoning. These are life skills not just for exams, but for decision-making, planning, and facing challenges with a clear mind.

Imagine a world without maths. No clocks. No money. No phones. No buildings. No science. Life would be completely different and much more difficult. That’s why maths is not just a school subject it’s the language of life.

Whether we love it or find it challenging, we cannot escape the truth: Maths is everywhere. It is the key to understanding the world and shaping the future. The more we embrace it, the more confident and capable we become.

To sum up on the words of Galileo, ‘Mathematics is the Language in which God has written the universe.”
