Numbers are around us everywhere. Newcomers to mathematics will find that dealing with them will be very important in molding many careers. For fields of business, social sciences, health fields, and particularly engineering and science, mathematics is an invaluable support ingredient.

It doesn’t have to be that way! There is excitement, beauty, simplicity, and particularly logic in the field of mathematics.
