Mathematics goes beyond race and time, it’s used in trading and commerce, erecting monuments that touch the sky and devising machines that propel humans into the far reach of the universe and the unfathomable depth of the sea. Mathematics also helped us uncover the secrets of the smallest universe – the atom. Study mathematics because it transcends all human endeavors.
