Mathematics has always been a subject that has fallen victim to strange myths and beliefs that have led the majority of humanity to fear this beautifully crafted subject. Those who have attained mathematical happiness have crowned it, “The Queen of the Sciences” others have gone even further to call it “God’s coded message to humanity”. This wonderful subject has been totally misunderstood by the majority of earth’s inhabitants yet on a daily basis everyone enjoys its benefits.
It is your duty as an individual to pursue mathematical happiness with all your might. Take note, this happiness I speak of is not the discovery of a new formula or earth-shuttering theorems but the appreciation of the pivotal role of mathematics in humanity’s quest to fully understand the universe. This appreciation will lead to joy, confidence, hope and vigilance when faced with problems regardless of their nature. Mathematics is the only subject that prepares you for a full life as it prepares you for situations that you have never experienced before. Just a simple extrapolation of learnt problem solving principles can lead to sustainable happiness in this life we are living (some of us).
I challenge you today to take a stand and drink from the can of happiness that is full of natural flavours to quench your mathematical thirst. Mathematics is a subject that is refreshingly different. It is the subject that gives more than it takes from you, this is true empowerment. Go for it and start your worthwhile journey to mathematical happiness. Open up some happiness. Enjoy!
