"The essence of mathematics is its freedom"
~ Georg Cantor

The above quote represents the individuality of mathematics. Those who practice mathematics may use various approaches to solve the same problem. For example, a system of linear equations can be solved using multiple methods ranging from graphical solutions to the algebraic methods of substitution and elimination.

Mathematics is found around every corner in the past, present, and future. Mathematics is necessary in the study of many topics, from an architectural analysis of the Egyptian periods to laboratory measurements in chemistry and biology.
“I advise my students to listen carefully the moment they decide to take no more mathematics courses. They might be able to hear the sound of closing doors.”
~ James Caballero; American mathematician

The reasoning and problem solving skills that are developed in the study of mathematics are valuable tools that can be generalized to any aspect of life. The patience and effort required to solve a mathematics are transferable qualities that can lead an individual to success. Furthermore, the skills and even content learned in mathematics courses surface in other subjects and areas of everyday life. If we close the door on mathematics, we are robbing ourselves of the ability to reach our highest potential.
