Mathematics
By Ameya Deshpande
Today I am going to introduce a subject without which we can't live.Quite weird to say but it is mathematics.So, while introducing a topic,we generally ask a question to ourselves-What is Mathematics?Why is it so important in our day-to-day life?One may have different answers to these questions.According to me, mathematics is the study of counting numbers ,shape and structure.Mathematics is defined from undefined things.We use mathematics in our day-to-day life.For example- for counting number of persons, object,etc(basic counting numbers).Well,I do love Maths and look towards it as fun.People , just looking at a problem without reading it, declare that maths is tough.I accept that few problems are a bit difficult but we should accept it as a challenge and try to tackle with it.This is fun in maths. Without spending enough time on it, we should not give up.Now the question arises-How to solve difficult questions in Examinations?A simple trick is to look the question from a different type of view.For example-in mathematical calculations,we do grouping of some terms to get a simplified answer or in a school geometry problem,we many times go some backward steps from the result to be proved to get a result that can be reached very easily.
I would like to share a problem that I face many a times while giving any examination . During examination, I usually become nervous and in tension ,cannot think on the question. Particularly, in mathematics,you cannot think on the question due to your tension. Maths is a subject which requires on the spot thinking ability and if you become nervous ,then the exam is.......(you know it).
I know that the question , some of them might not be able to solve it in their exams but you should not give up and should try it even after the exam is over.After you get the solution,you should see that- Where was I wrong?Why couldn't I solve it in exam?Was it so difficult?If such type of problem arises again, then will I be able to solve it?
When you get free time ,you must think on maths like What is it?If I feel it difficult,then why do I feel it so?Why can't I think in simple manner?Why do I forget that Maths is a natural subject which is not made or created by someone ?
I hope that after reading the above ,you look Maths from a different point of view.
