If the universe were a painting, mathematics would be the paintbrush used to bring life into a blank canvas. Mathematics is an all-encompassing field, being used in all fields of study, such as economics, chemistry, and engineering. Studying mathematics goes far beyond solving problems with a calculator; it includes critical thinking, logical reasoning, and recognizing patterns, among other skills. The most important skill, however, is taking what is learned in the classroom and applying it to real life situations. Almost any question that can be solved has its roots grounded in mathematical thinking, and by learning to recognize, analyze, and manipulate these questions, anyone can become a mathematician; whether it be by using calculus to study change or using proofs and logic to reason one’s way to a solution. While being a mathematician grants one the ability to solve a deep and ever-expanding pool of questions, the real allure is in adding to said pool with questions of your own. When faced with a problem, math gives oneself and others the ability to analyze said problem and work, either independently or as a team, to find a solution. In an age where so much has been answered for us by our ancestors, it can often seem like we have no more need for questions, but a true mathematician knows to dig deeper and find questions where nobody had even thought them possible to exist. Mathematics is an endless field of research that can be applied in countless practical settings. The ability to think critically, adapt one’s knowledge, and logic reasonably is important in the business world, the academic world, and the realm of research. Mathematicians brighten the path to a future of limitless possibilities.
