Mathematics

17 Sep

Mathematics underpins everyday life and is the tool which helps us make sense of what is around us, from everyday commerce through to the high tech gadgets we use each day. Without it trade could not have developed and the industrial revolution would not have happened.

Mathematics helps support many career pathways particularly in Commerce, Science and Technology areas. Through the study of Mathematics, students develop their logical thinking, problem solving skills and analytical thinking.

Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space, and time. Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data. These two disciplines are related but different ways of thinking and of solving problems. Both equip students with effective means for investigating, interpreting, explaining, and making sense of the world in which they live. Mathematicians and statisticians use symbols, graphs, and diagrams to help them find and communicate patterns and relationships, and they create models to represent both real-life and hypothetical situations. These situations are drawn from a wide range of social, cultural, scientific, technological, health, environmental, and economic contexts.
